I can't post in the development section so I post my problems here, sorry for that.
I flashed @Omar-Avelar's ROM over stock JB EU firmware but the 4.2 AOSP SMS app doesn't seem to be working for me. After I replaced it with deoxed Motorola's messaging.apk(deleted mms.apk and MmsDependencies.apk in /system/app/ in Omar ROM and set -rw-r--r--/644 permission for the newly copied Moto's messaging.apk at the same place) SMS could work again. Can anyone tell me whether my text messages were sent successfully according to the screenshot? Surely I never received any incoming messages as you see.
I really love the looking and some convenient features of the 4.2 AOSP SMS app but what should I do to have it work
BTW: In this ROM, Google voice search crashes when opened from either Google search widget or app drawer.
Screenshot doesn't show Motorola's SMS app...

It's known issue. Some of people have problems with AOSP SMS app. If you read the whole thread with Omar's ROM you can find something about it. Nobody knows why does this problem appears.

Thanks for the information, I'll look further into it.
Has anyone got to the bottom of this yet? I have just installed Omar's latest ROM (3rd June) and I cannot receive texts. I tried installing shaftenberg's 'no limit' messaging mod instead but I cannot find the app - my old shortcut says app not installed and I cannot find it in launcher. The messaging.apk definitely exist because I can find it in root explorer or titanium backup. I know Omar gas hidden it somehow but nit sure how.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I really don't want to go back to the stock jb with moto blur. Thanks

You should have new shortcut in the list of apps. And try to search mms.apk or mmsdependencies.apk in your file explorer, that should be messaging .apk.

Hi everybody. I'm italian, sorry for my bad english, I'm studying it and I haven't a perfect proficiency, and sorry if I put my thread in the wrong category. XD I've got a "little" problem with my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro...
I accidentally deleted mms.apk from /system/apps, and I don't know how to resolve this problem. I tried to use a substitute like "ICS Messaging Pro", but in absence of this file, the incoming messages aren't visualized, and I see them only one time, through "Popup Notifications".
Now, I found a mms.apk modded, but it's not for my phone, and it crashes every time I receive an sms, but now it saves the incoming messages in "ICS Messaging Pro".
Is there anybody that can send me mms.apk for my telephone?
I've got Gingerbread 2.3.6
Version of the firmware: B5510XXKK2
You can try go sms, handcent sms or any of those apks and it should work, if not, or if you still want the original apk, try asking for it in phone's forum, any user can pull it using adb or root explorer and give it to you... if that's the way, you'll have to push it into /system/app using adb or root explorer and setting permissions... but as I said, you can try another app like the ones I've mencioned avobe
Idk, I saw that without this file every messaging app I install gives the same problem: They don't save the incoming messages. I must wait for mms.apk ...

No it's not odexed rom as I'm on stock deodexed.. And even if I use another launcher ..I'm thinking it's because of the att BS bloatware like ready2go thingy or such which put their nose even in your texting..
doesnt have anything to do with bloatwares. Its about editing the framework to make it work for touchwiz but since a lot dont like touchwiz, and run custom roms.. they edit mostly for those. I can open the app, settings, type the sender, type the text but it crashes right when I click send. Ive asked in some many threads that have the AOSP Mms.apk..
Not correct...I'm stock deodexed and using aosp launcher not touchwiz and still crashes after sending any text...its also not a touchwiz isssue ...
It is a touchwiz issue. Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. Its part of the framework.

The app is completely free and built from AOSP source without any "ads" or "dontate to me" banners or menu items. It was the only way I got AOSP messaging to work under TouchWiz. I used this app the ICS version on TouchWiz with no issues.

Would you happen to have the version before jellybean version and when mms worked??
DMolina ツ
So, I updated to kit kat, only to discover that with the new "Default SMS app" feature, you can't just use old SMS apps. Well, I don't really like using Hangouts as my SMS app, and the stock Mms app lacks quite a few features i really like from CM's Mms app. Plus, I really like dark themes.
Well, of course I simply tried to go ahead and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830 , but because that doesn't include the new information, it isn't seen as a possible "Default SMS" app, and can't be used. Well, I wasn't okay with this...
Dug into apktool and messed around in the AndroidManifest.xml, added the appropriate bits and pieces for it to be discovered by 4.4, and recompiled, and then signed. Voila, I have a working, dark themed, CM version of 4.3 Mms, with popups and all. I've tested that both sending and receiving of sms (in app and from popup) and mms all work.
If people are interested, I can post it up for download. Not sure about all the rules though. I assume I'd have to ask for permission from the OP of that thread I linked above?
EDIT:
Okay, so I've got the 4.3 CM messaging app linked from above. I've updated it to work with 4.4 (allowing it to be a "default SMS app") and also went and modified all the smali and xml with a new package name and a couple new authority/provider names to avoid conflict with the stock app.
Final takeaway: a themed, customizable (see settings), popup-enabled, emoji-supporting 4.3 messaging app that not only works on 4.4, but can be installed without root alongside your stock Mms app. Should work on 4.2 and up, on any variant, rooted or unrooted. Simply download, install with adb or by transfering it to the phone and opening on there, and then go to settings->More->Default SMS app and enable this one (the dark icon "Messaging" one).
I tested sending and receiving sms and mms, sms both from app and popup. everything was working fine. If anyone finds an issue just let me know and provide log cat output if you can, or at least a repro case
EDIT2:
Apparently there are still some kinks I need to work out. Will try to look into it this weekend.
EDIT3:
Okay so I did the version that works on 4.4 for rooted users. This one only has the AndroidManifest edits, so there should be no issues with functionality. I've been using it for a bit now and haven't had any issues. The one labeled Mms.apk is for root users (Nothing about installing/using it requires root, but you have to uninstall the stock messaging app to put this one on). The one labeled Mms2.apk is the (currently kinda buggy) version for those without root. That one is still a work in progress.

I haven't tested, but it should work without root. You can install it just like a normal app, and it gets installed to /data/app. I suppose the concern here is getting rid of the old messaging app, which does require root. I'm pretty sure if you tried to install this alongside the stock app, it would complain about having the same package name. I'll test and let you know soon.
Go get this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
It works great and has a dark theme option in the settings, the developer pulled the CM MMS app and made it an installable on KitKat and a few tweaks, feels just like the original CM MMS app and even has the quick reply popup option.

The blue drives me nuts now. I really like the monochromatic look of kit kat. I think I'll take this app and theme it the way I want it to look (replacing blues with grays). I'll post that and the 4.3 version I did for anyone that wants it (that one allows color customization directly from the app) later tonight probably

Can the op post up the MMS app you recompiled to work with 4.4?
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Okay, so theming the 4.4 one is a lot more involved than I expected. I did some initial theming with xml values, got all the text the way i wanted it, but there's a lot of images i'd have to edit to get rid of all the blue, and I don't really have time for it right now. I started to, then realized using Paint was a mistake, as all the transparency of the ones I'd edited was gone, which messed up the look. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually, but for now I'm just going to use the 4.3 Mms I made work with 4.4. Here it is for anyone else that wants it. (Couldn't get attachment to work so here's a zippy share link): http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/36354844/file.html
For some unknown reason, I could not get it to install by cp to /system/app or /system/priv-app and doing chmod, so i made a keystore and signed it and have just been installing it with adb install. You have to uninstall your current stock Mms first though (requires root). I did that by renaming to .bak. I'll see what kind of work might be involved with changing the package name, which would let it be installed alongside the stock app. I tried installing it over the stock with "adb install -r -d Mms.apk", but it complains that it's signed with a different keystore than the currently installed one. If anyone knows how to get the default android keystore I could try signing it with that.
I like this version. I see nothing in the 4.4 Mms app that the 4.3 one does not also have to offer, plus this one has tons of customization, emoji support, etc etc. You can change all the colors of text and background straight from the menu. Until we've got something similar for 4.4 I'll stick to this.
I just noticed a little bug... I installed it on a 4.2.2 device and that device receives messages twice. No issues on 4.4 yet though... I'll look into it.
I got this to install fine, but when i try to send an MMS it FC's on me.

Are you on 4.4? And you set it as your default SMS app? If so, can you grab a logcat output?

Bizarre... I just uninstalled mine, cleared all data from the stock app in case something was getting cached, and went and downloaded from the link and installed and it works fine for me still...
My setup:
Moto X 4.4 OTA with SlapMyMoto root (meaning 4.2.2 bootloader)
Xposed framework with XBlast and GravityBox
I also installed it on a rooted S4 running 4.2.2 and it worked, although it was receiving messages twice (figured out why, but haven't uploaded that update yet) and a "not responding" message when receiving MMS (though you could then go back into the thread and view it). I've not had any issues on the Moto X though.
I wouldn't imagine that anything in the app would need root, though I'm not gonna unroot to find out. Can you guys post some log cats and i'll look into it?
EDIT:
Just got the mms force close. I'm sure a side effect of blindly find/replacing com.android.mms in the smali. Soon I'll post a version that only has the 4.4 changes for those of you with root, and i'll keep working on the whole package name spoof for those without.
This is for touchwiz 4.4.2.
For developers wanting to add this to their ROMs feel free. Give credit to the people I did though and not me. All I did was refind my favorite mms.apk and use Kryten2k35's files with both of their permission. If you experience the bug just reflash the zip.
Instructions
1. Download the zip
2. Flash in recovery
3. This will take care of everything for you and wipe your messages as well as make a backup on your sdcard shall you want to return to stock.

Bugs
"Service not available" when retrieving or sending picture messages. This seems to be random. With a fresh install it will either produce the problem or it won't. This is the best solution I have for this rare bug.
If messages aren't sending or even appearing when you send them go into settings > more > set "messaging" as default app.

I ran across this SMS app a while back when I flashed a custom ROM called Mokee OS which was based on android 6.0.1. There was a stock SMS app included in the ROM that I "fell in like with". I'm back on LP now though, and the messaging app doesn't seem to be compatible with that version of android as it just crashes after being opened. I have the app's icon, and I'm hoping someone could give me it's name so I could probably search the internet to see if theres a LP compatible version out there. Thanks.
