Depends what ROM your running, if its touchwiz, it'll be under system/app and its named- Sec.MMS.apk, asop will be MMS.apk, unless your talking about the actual messages, if so, TB doesn't always save the data so u may not be able to gt the back up messages,

I am running TW, I made sure to save save app and user data. So if I replaced the mms apk I possibly could recover the messages? Worst case I get a FC and put original back?

You can always back up your apps with TB and reinstall back later.

You're making it harder on yourself. Do a full titaniumbackup and then use my debloater. If/when you need the app again do a titanium restore for that app. Much easier than freezing by hand.
ok...
can u just give me a list of the apps to remove?
anyway i just wanna remove those BACKROUND RUNNING APPS
I agree with FB backup->debloat-> enjoy lol
Look at a rom in the development section called SimplySimple he has a bunch of apps removed and he lists them that might help you know which apps are ok to remove

I use Gemini App Manager. It shows you which apps have "autorun" code in them and you can selectively kill the "autorun" codes you want.

You should still debloat. And help us keep the forum from getting bloated. Your post today could have gone in your previous thread. And consider hitting thanks.
If you want a list of apps you can safely remove try this.
Debloat. You have no idea how much ram will free up. Just do not get rid of Visual Voicemail. You already have a copy of the rom you downloaded- just unzip it, look in the system folder, and there will be all of the apks that come with the rom. If you want those apps back, simply load them on your sd card, and push them using a program similar to root explorer back into the system folder that they were originally located.
If your running Valhalla Black, don't get rid of Amazon Mp3.
I make the mistakes so you don't have to
Why not Amazon mp3?

At first it caused a process related to it to keep bringing up a force close message. The only way to remove it was by removing that process.
Here's the catch- once you remove that process, a process called com.android.xxxx (can't remember), starts force closing, which in turn resets your phone. I was also loosing my signal randomly.
I also had flashed other roms before. It could be some part of my phone was corrupted. I couldn't get a log because quite frankly, I needed a phone that worked again. I would just be safe and leave it alone.
The debloater is completely safe though- just don't get rid of visual voicemail.
I froze the amazon mp3, but all is well

That's the difference. I deleted it completely. Good to know it worked.

Deleting bloatware

Hey guys. What is the easiest way to get rid of all the bloatwear and unwanted apps that came with this phone? I've tried the Root Explorer method but the apps are still there. What can I do?

+1. That's what I did at first. I've now moved onto the JMT rom.
Use Titanium Backup, you can uninstall just about anything, and because you can uninstall just about anything you want to make sure you know what you are deleting is non-essential.

Titanium backup question

I was never prompted to create an account when I downloaded titanium backup. How does it work when I wipe and flash a new a rom? Or get a new device?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
It saves the apk & data on a file on your sd. Just put the backup in your new phone sd and tb will recognize it.
Cool thanks for the reply.

It probably restored the data on the SD. Use a file explorer and try to paste and replace it in root.
You would have to find the file in the phone data I think. Can't rmb.

Well I did move it to SD card. Then I got a new SD card. Tried to see the files from my old card on my computer and was going to transfer them but there didn't seem to be anything on it important?? If that makes sense. And in titanium backup I had all my user apps on SD card buut nothing showed on my computer.

Hi.
Can I make a backup of WiFi settings - passwords from one Rom and restore them to another?
I used to have problems backing system data up from different ROMs. But you can try it, should be under backup system data in TiBu. WiFi settings maybe?

[APP] Fully Working AOSP Messaging for CleanROM 5.6

After you flash the zip, you can place any AOSP MMS you prefer in system/app. Just make sure the file is named "Mms.apk", the original one is deleted, and permissions are fixed. There are some nice inverted ones here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095243

No, just flash the zip and you're set. No need for anything else. Everything works. Nandroid backup before you flash and restore system to revert.

What if I want the dark theme sir?
Does this remove Samsung's stock messaging or just adds stock AOSP messaging with it? thanks for this.
This removes stock and flashes a tweaked framework in addition to the AOSP MMS.

If you want the dark theme, you'll want to flash the zip then download an inverted MMS (I posted a link to a thread that has these). After that, use root explorer or ES file manager to place the APK in system/app. Make sure the file is named Mms.apk (it will overwrite the one already there). Change permissions to rwrr then reboot.

Titanium Backup and Google Play Music

So I've been debating on which rom to use now that I'm rooted again on my GS3 on Verizon and I was wondering if Titanium Backup will backup the Google Play Music app and all of my music. I have a good amount of music racked up on this thing and don't want to lose them. Any way around this with another solution or will TB work?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm confused, why would you have to backup Google Music Play when it's all cloud based? It should be uploaded to their servers and always be there.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So when I have to do a full wipe to install a new ROM for example and I install Gapps, all my music will still be there?

All your music will still be there in the cloud, you'll just have to download the songs again since they will be deleted from your device.

I think I did yea. What are the steps to uploading it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
You either have your music in iTunes or a folder on your computer, correct? You download Google Music Manager on your computer and tell it where your stored music is, and it takes over. It uploads all the songs to the cloud so you can access them from any device your Google account is linked to.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Either way you should be fine. Any locally added songs(transferred to your phone, not pinned) should still be there and any you pinned from the cloud will still be in the cloud, though you will have to redownload them.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Okay that's all making more sense, thanks! Although I ran into an issue and that is that I can't seem to download my library to my PC from the Music Manager. I hit download then it just sits there. Do I have to upload something first?
