[APP] UPDATED! AOSP MMS app w/emoji + quick emoji button

big noob here! first, i take no credit for making this app i just figured out how to make it work with our phones.
MUST BE ROOTED!
-first make a backup of the stock messaging app. (i just renamed it and added ".bak" after .apk
-use root explorer and push the Message+CRC_1.apk to system/app
-change permissions to rw-r-r
-change ownership to root:root
-reboot!
-after reboot go into apps manager and clear data. thats it!
if it works give this noob some thanks!

what exactly is going on with it? is it force closing? not able to send anything? i know when i didnt clear the data it would just keep force closing on me.
i just attached another one of the files. try renaming this one to Message+CRC_1 and following the directions again. maybe a cache wipe?
the file in the first post was pulled straight from my system/apps folder and is working great on my side. maybe this one will work for you.
EDIT: the name of the apk implies that you are replacing the stock sense messaging app. so if the name of your messaging app differs, try renaming the file to that of your stock messaging app.

So it worked for you? Awesome!

Running on stock 1.85 rooted. Working splendidly.
Thanks!

i updated the file in the first post to an aokp mms app. its the one with the quick emoji button and so far everything works on my side. let me know if everything works for you guys!
again, i take no credit with making the app. i simply figured out how to get it on our phones. your thanks is appreciated!

It works but I can't send pics :-(

Awesome it works well. The quick button doesn't work with themes, but that's fine its worth having it unthemed for the time being. Thanks a lot! Much more convenient than having to click the settings button.

really? are you using the one in the first post? ive been using it and have no issues at all. earlier ones i was messing with would let me attach the photo but when i would go to send it would just disappear. I havent had that happen with this one. maybe try and wipe the dalvik cache?

Any word if this works with Samsung Galaxy S III? I have tried several apps, and while I can get all of them to work initially, they all break after just a few txts. Also, how do you clear data in apps manager? 4.0.4 doesn't seem to have that option, on my Verizon variant anyway.

Works great for me on CleanRom 4.1 Dev Edition. Followed instructions exactly as posted. Emoji and MMS both work flawlessly. I had been waiting to get this working, but never thought about checking this forum.
Thanks NyConex!

If you are using a ROM that is ODEX'd you need to rename the messaging odex file as well if delete it. Most sense ROMs right now are so double check. I've used this on every ROM I've flashed and it works flawlessly.

I'm not sure. MIUI doesn't use the stock MMS app but I suppose if you flash it, it will show up in your apps. Try it and post your results.

Unfortunatley it doesnt work with miui rom by stickman as it force closes on entering into sms screen.
Any chance of modifying your mms apk to fit Miui, as we keep on requesting them to sort out emoji's but they dont. and it would be so cool to have this working on miui.

Using this on Frank's AOKP and seems to be working well - thanks!
One question though; there's an option in the settings to 'Use dark theme', but selecting it doesn't seem to do much? Is this supposed to invert the app? I've selected it and done a restart, but still no noticeable changes.

Does not work on PA on my One V, nor on my WFS.
I'd be reeeeaaaally interested in knowing what exactly you slimmed out of the keyboard, especially since you seem to have added theme support.

work for roms that have that keyboard on stock , like cm10.1 and aokp ...
Anyway i give you a small hint if you want to trimm your apps a little (easy for everyone)
First download a app , then use root explorer (for exemple) and change extantion from .apk to .zip then extract the file (you can change something if you like now like icon of the app ... ) and now compress it so his extantion become .zip again and then go download zip signer from play store (first app you will find) and put his name in unsigned.zip and for signed use your here name again but now the extantion need yo be .apk (see picture)
With this simple trick you can save a lot of space (can get you to 10 free mb depend )
hope its usefull

i'm on mj5. just used a root explorer, changed permissions and pushed to system/framework folder and rebooted. I'm not sure if this caused issues with some of my xposed modules so i'm gonna start fresh and try to troubleshoot. I'll let you know if i find out anything (namely the wanam's xposed module's advance reboot menu when pushing recovery causes massive force closes!!)

[WIP] Dark CM Messaging App for 4.4 (NO ROOT NEEDED)

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.

That would b awesome if u could share , now would this only work if u r rooted?

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.

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.

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.
