AOSP/AOKP MMS.apk with Quick Reply Working on Touchwiz based ROMs!!! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Stumbled upon this recent discovery and just wanted to share the wealth! I extracted the MMS.apk from AOKP build 4 to see if it would work with Touchwiz and it does! Quick reply in the notifications window and all. Install it like any other system app; you'll need to be rooted and have a root explorer:
1. Download MMS.apk from below
2. Move to SD Card
3. ***Backup Touchwiz Messaging App "SecMMS.apk"*** by renaming the file to "SecMMS.apk.bak"
4. Move the downloaded MMS.apk to system/app
5. Fix Permissions to rw-r-r
6. Reboot
7. Hit your dougie or other victory dance of your choosing
I've attached screenshots to show that this is indeed working. The ROM I tried it on is incubus' JellyWiz RLS7 but it should work on any rom. I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or mess up your messaging app but it's pretty straight forward! If you're scared, go to church... or just nandroid :silly:
This is my first "helpful" post so if it's in the wrong section or if I've done something else that may cause WWIII than just let me know and I will fix it. I didn't see any other threads like this one though!
Edit: Didn't test thoroughly enough and as other users have pointed out, it FC's when trying to send or receive a picture message. Still, for someone who likes the quick reply, emoji, look and feel of AOSP, I think that it's a small price to pay. Also, this will ONLY work on Jelly Bean Roms!
Thanks

Where you able to send a pic message
Edit: FC when trying to send a mms

You should probably add that this will only work on jellybean based roms.
Edit: i'd like to point out that this isn't the most recent version of CM's messaging app. It's missing a lot of the things that they added.

it crashes when you send or recieve mms

Would love to have this though! Its a start...

I've been trying to get this to work since the day I bought the phone. I was using (and still am on my work phone) an inverted AOSP MMS.apk that I just absolutely dig. I was sad when it didn't work on Touchwiz ROMS.
I dug a bit deeper. I got to where you guys were at, I managed to get it to install on a JB TW ROM but it crashed on MMS, just as you all are experiencing. I dug deeper.
I next tried a logcat to see if I could sniff out the issue. Nothing was glaringly obvious as being the issue. I even went so far as to Pastebin it for a well known dev on here, and he pointed it to it being the Gallery as being the issue. Since it's an AOSP app, it was probably looking for an AOSP Gallery. So I tried that. I replaced the TW Gallery with the AOSP Gallery. Still, nothing. The dev hasn't had time to really help me out since, he's a pretty busy guy and isn't even supporting the device, he was more helping me since we're more friends than anything else.
I'm going to see if I can get ahold of another dev on here and see if he can spare some time to help. Problem is, he doesn't have this phone, but I do believe he has a Galaxy Note, or the Skyrocket. I PM'd a few devs supporting our phone with ROM's to ask if they could help, and I didn't receive a response. If anyone knows anyone who can help, I'd be glad to pass along what I have.
I would REALLY like to get this working on TW ROM's. I'd settle for the old school AOSP inverted one I'm using, but the CM/AOKP one is probably pretty similar.

I managed to get an ICS, AKA non Quick Reply version, working with TW builds. Should work with any ICS/JB builds. The file is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921429

Can someone tell me wat im doing wrong or wat exactly im missing...i followed the instructions and the app itself is working but it's not popping up

Thanks. Seems to work fine on stock/rooted TW. No QuickReply, but I think QuickMessage doesn't woked that well in CM10 anyway. I use SMS Popup from the Market.

Cognition 5 Beta 2 with TW 4

I have a modified zip file from DesignGear with TW4 but don't know how to share for those that don't know how to modified it.
This was my first time changing anything on any rom, but since I have used for the last 4 days without any issues, I thought that it might be a good idea to share.
I hope that I'm not offending anyone here.
Thanks,
Brasus
Download link is http://www.4shared.com/file/wuoYJ07-/update.html
This is a work of others and I just tried to make it easier for me so I hope others can enjoy as well.
Major thanks to :
designgears (ROM MAKER)
I can't find the name of the user who pointed me to this
and ofcourse the dude who extracted the files for this to happen.
Instead of using Cognition 5 beta 2 in CWM use the Update zip file at the link above, it is the same with the exception that has TW4 as the launcher.
where's it at bro?
In my pc, but if you know of a site the I can upload to and share with people let me know.
Thanks
Good job! It's a great first start. If you could make a package that just installs the TW4 that would help out the people already at Cog5b2 from having to reflash.
Thanks! Flashed this last night and it's been working great all day. Is that a themed version of the TW4 launcher?
I went ahead and swapped it with the TW4.5 launcher by fragg0r and Swiftwork and that's been running great as well FWIW.
If anyone else is wondering I just grabbed the TW4Launcher.apk from this threadrenamed it to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and put it in the place of the original TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app/. Reset the permissions to match other apps there and rebooted (not sure if reboot was necessary).
Appreciate the work brasus.
Thanks, I'm going to try to put something together and after testing with my device if all goes well I'll post it.

Sounds intriguing.
I've been on Cog 5 b2 for about a week now and really like it (but I still like my Zeam launcher).

[ROM] MIUI port - updated (almost) weekly!

Port of MIUI, with MMS working.
READ BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING:
WIMAX?
NO. NEVER. If you want to know why, ask the Chinese authors of this ROM.
ROOT APPS NOT WORKING:
Make sure you have enabled root access in the settings of the Superuser app!
HINT: Look in the "Tools" folder.
A note on the built-in SMS splitting: I don't trust it. In my short testing, with the counter setting (e.g., the "(1/2), (2/2)" stuff) turned on, receiving the messages was inconsistent with version 1.7.22. Turning the counter off seemed to produce more consistent working behavior. With version 1.7.29, the multiple messages would send, but the phone will still report errors with sending. Personally, I'll still use Handcent.

Dont know how exactly the headphones are controlled, but I took a look inside framework.jar and at path "/smali/android/media/AudioSystem", it looks like there are a bunch of references to output and headphones there.
Hopefully that'll help you a little. I always hated searching for simple smali edits to change one stupid thing.

I need verification that this works. It worked on mine for the headset issue.
NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!!!
1. copy file from miui 1.4.29 system/etc/TPA2051_CFG.csv to sdcard.
2. with root explorer copy file to system/etc/
3. reboot and test.
I tested it with my sirius app which did not play with headphone before and now does.

[Q]LCD density

Hey is this working for us any tricks etc If I change to 260 just gives me a blank screen? Using CM10.
Works on all ROM's but jelly bean at the moment, and I'm not sure why. Try editing the system file manually and see if it gives you the same problem. I'm running 240 DPI on all my ROM's because the screen looks much better to me that way, but when I flashed jelly bean and tried it didn't work for some reason.
With a quick google search I found the solution. The other apps are outdated. Use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marutian.dpichanger&feature=search_result I will flash CM10 now that I can change the DPI!! Don't worry about the foreign language preview, it runs in english.

Somebody edited the framework apk and got the lockscreen to be centered. However this was on the galaxy note, I don't know if it'll work on our phones. Flash at your own risk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30121522&postcount=546 Worst case scenario will be reflash the ROM, or restore to a backup.

NEW SOLUTION FOUND - Restore ORIGINAL Verizon Visual VoiceMail

OK... First and foremost all credits, thanks, kudos and appreciation for this solution goes to Virus, this solution comes from their work.
This will restore the original Green icon VVM that many of us have been missing, and cannot find in newer roms.
(Screenshot at bottom)
The difference between this one and the newer version is that this one is integrated into the MMS/SMS layout which in my humble opinion is the best looking and most elegant solution. the last time i saw this working was in one of the earlier versions of
Eternity ROM mecha_signed_060812_063718
so i started there and extracted both the VVM and MMS apk, both are needed.
then i tried to simply install into the latest Eternity ROM without success... : (
On a whim i tried to install via a theme... and Voila success. : )
so here is the solution, i modded the theme zip for Eternity 1.0 so that it only replaces the MMS and VVM and this worked twice in testing.
So far as i know this should work in any rom with HTC Sense, ASOP will not support the mms.apk therefore it wont work on those roms, but i can only guarantee the rom i tested in...
this will replace your MMS.apk in Sense roms, but this shouldn't be an issue
For ICE CREAM SANDWICH look here... http://www.teambamf.net/topic/4331-romics-leak-for-htc-mecha-7006052-403-08212012/
let me know if you run into any issues
instructions
remove your current VVM
(I recommend a rooted uninstall such as Titanium, Rom Toolbox, or whatever)
then boot into recovery
wipe dalvick
wipe cache
install update zip
reboot
I never knew there was any way to get vvm on any aosp rom. That's why I switched to gvvm. I would have kept vvm had I known.. Great work.
ok nevermind, i just loaded up MiniBAMF and the ASOP version did not work.
The MMS.apk needs sense to work, and therefore since that wont happen on an ASOP rom the VVM.apk didnt load.
i have removed the ASOP version.
Sorry guys... : (
Since I already have gvvm set up and you cannot delete your phone number once foolish enough to give it to them I won't be changing back to vvm. It is still a great accomplishment and I hope others can use it. Nice to see folks still putting this kind of work in the tbolt.
Wonder if this is gonna work on the liquid ics ? The version. I had on liquid 3.2 won't work.
that depends, i have a thunderbolt therefore i cant test ICS, but if ICS can run a gingerbread version of the mms.apk then yes. but i dont know enough about the mms.apk on ICS to speak intelligently on this...
Awesome accomplishment!!
+1!!
Thank you for helping the Thunderbolt community!!

[Q] Sprint SGS3 Jelly Bean, lost stock email app! I want it back...

Hey All,
I have a Sprint SGS3, rooted. I installed the Touchwiz Jelly Bean Leak 4.1.1 per qbKing77's instructions found on Youtube.
I used his links for all files. The install went incredibly smoothly and I am loving the improvements, but there was one problem that is really starting to bug me. I lost the stock SGS3 Touchwiz email app. It was no longer installed on the phone after initial reboot with Jelly Bean. I am actually quite fond of that app, and quite unhappy with K-9 and alternatives. I want the stock app back!!
I have found a .zip with all the stock apps, including the Email app, but I receive errors trying to install it. I have seen no other users experience the same loss of this app, so I am at a loss. And don't really know what I am doing, evidently.
Can someone help me get the stock Email app back on my SGS3? And/or help me figure out why I lost it in the first place?
Thanks!
(Note: I cannot post links and cannot post in appropriate forum as I have zero posts!)

This post doesn't need to be in a Dev forum as it has absolutely nothing to do with Development. It could be better in your device's Q&A forum though. It may be that the Dev actually excluded the Stock email app from his ROM - are the rest of the Touchwiz apps in there, or is it stripped of all TouchWiz?
Hi, I would download a stock ROM for your phone. Then extract it on your computer. Inside the app folder, there should be an email.apk or something similar somewhere. From there put the .apk file in your new ROM's app folder without unzipping it, I would use winrar.
I have found the email.apk from the .zip of SGS3 stock apps I found. I get an error when trying to install it though. Any idea?

Did you move it to the system/app folder using a root browser?
The reason it won't work is because you need the Touchwiz framework in order for the app to function, which isn't going to happen because Touchwiz is owned by Samsung and not open source. Basically, if you want to use Touchwiz apps you need to be on a Touchwiz rom
