OK, Here is what I have: I have a Samusung admire, Metro Pcs. New just rooted today.
I was removing all the metro crap (using titanium) when I deleted the MMS being I wasent using it, I use the go sms pro.
Well to come to find out you kinda need the mms that was installed on the phone, so now im trying to get it back on there...
Here is my issue I am having:
I go to system, apps and I see the MMS there, when when I try and install it, it says not installed. so I extrated files and tryed it again, same thing, of course Im not sure if Im doing this right. By the way I do open the superpermission on it.
What am I doing wrong, can anyone please give me advice on how to install this?
If you didn't make a Titanium backup of your stuff before you started removing things, you're out of luck my friend and it's factory reset time for you
If you ever have doubts about removing things using a program like Titanium, pick the 'freeze' option instead of the 'delete' option. This will halt the process and stop it running in the background and consuming memory, but you can 'unfreeze' and restore it to normal should freezing cause issues.
No such luck with deletion, of course
Let me know how you get on. Good luck!
Try asking someonee to upload the mms apk

That's weird. I've deleted the stock MMS.apk tons of times without a single problem
Do adb push
adb push MMS.apk system/app
After this set permissions to chmod 644 reboot and your good to go :thumbup:

Using play store,calendar, gmail and Google now
They way I install these are
1) name the app you're replacing ie. MMS.apk to MMS.apk.bak , also do the same for the matching odex file
2) copy the inverted app to system/ app and change permissions to rw-r-r
3) reboot
Note: may not work with jcases method of gaining root, my boot loader is unlocked

thanks for this! Though I can't seem to get Gmail to install.. how did you go about getting rid of the system app? Titatium Backup doesn't seem to be doing the trick for me...
I haven't even begun to try any ones that require recovery.. just rooted my X and can't quite figure out to get into recovery easily.. is it as as simple as using Quick Boot? anyway to tell if it's in recovery without ADB?
thanks!

I deleted it with an app like titanium backup. After that you just need to reboot your phone and installed the inverted APK and all is well.
This method works for just about all the system apps. Just remember to Make a backup before you start cutting away.

Have you gotten the blacked out Email app (corporate email) to work? It won't work for me

yep Email didn't work.
Unfortunately I stopped using Blackout apps because of a bug. Every time I would install any Blackout apps, my Hangouts would develop a weird scrolling bug (even if I didn't install blackout hangouts at all). On normal Hangouts when you type a message and send it, it should scroll to the very bottom. But when mine was bugged, it never scrolled after I typed a message, unless someone replied. I could scroll manually but still, drove me nuts. Reinstalling hangouts and it's lib dependance didn't fix it. Reverting blackout apps didn't fix it either. Tried wiping cache, dalvik, wiping hangouts data, nothing. I had to do RSD Lite complete clean flash to make it work properly again.
I really wish I could have them on, if it weren't for the hangouts bug.
Anybody find a dark MMS apk that still retains the square chat bubbles that the stock one has? I played around with every theme option for this one and I couldn't get it to match the stock app.

It's not the same.
So, is there any way to do this on a verizon one (locked bootloader)? In my attempt to install the blacked out mms, I tried flashing the zip from stock recovery, but it failed to verify. Tried installing the Mms.apk from the zip via adb and pm, and it said INSTALL_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
so then I signed it with a key as per android doc, and then I got INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. so i figured out it was because the /data/data/com.android.mms was still hanging around. removed that, tried again and got INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT. That's where i stopped.
I'm starting to think i'll have to wait till there's safestrap for moto x. If not then let me know what i need to do!

Just manually install it with any root explorer but before you replace your existing MMS apk , rename it to MMS.apk.bak. Change permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Can you explain what you mean by "manually install it" ? If you mean clicking the apk file and and hitting install, that doesn't work for me. from Root Browser, with system mounted as read write, it just says "App did not install"
If I just copy to /system/app and change permissions, it doesn't actually install it. it's not listed as an app in my applications.
I did figure out that I can restore the titanium backup by mounting /system as read write and restoring the backup, so i have my messaging back, just really want to get blacked out working!
EDIT: another thing I tried was replacing the apk file in the titanium backup with the blacked out apk. That also did not work. Titanium backup just sits there spinning with "restoring app"

Any chance you're using jcase's root method? You use any root file explorer , copy the MMS apk , go to system/app and change the existing MMS.app to MMS.apk.bak and also the odex mms file, then copy the inverted mms .apk and change the permissions to rw-r-r

Okay, tried your way. It doesn't matter whether I remove Mms.apk, rename it to Mms.apk.bak, or straight overwrite it with the other. Every time the original Mms.apk leaves the /system/app folder, it is removed from the list of installed apps. The Messaging app literally disappears off the screen.
Yes, I used PwnMyMoto

Yah, thought you're using pwnmymoto, I believe if you reboot it wipes r/w privledges? Can you do it through penmymoto. Sorry I'm frigging getting a headache. I just found out that some major dinaro, mula, cash that's owed to me I'm not going to see it, does anyone live near lake Mary Florida? I need you to brake some frigging legs, there's a 10‰ finders fee 400 bucks . I guess I'll have to put a lien on the property here in Toronto, just pissed

I am trying to stop the update before it installs. I tried the posting from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249350 and it still did not stop it. If I can't stop it, does it give me the option not to install once it downloads?
Using Titanium Backup, freeze the system app "sdm 1.0" OR if you use a file manager, just rename that system app to "sdm 1.0.bak" The OTA downloads in /Cache so make sure you delete it from there. Also, checking for a software update will cause Settings to crash and this is normal behavior.

Thank you SlimScoopsOS. Last night out of desperation I cut the red wire and it stopped the download. Just kidding. I did rename that file and it worked. So far, so good.

Hi, I'm using a google play store Nexus 5, and trying to restore a ADB backup (.ab file, not pulled files) and for some reason it keeps saying 'restoration ended' on my phone while the computer continues to send data. Anyway I can force it to continue/ restore the .ab from recovery?
Thanks very much for your help, I've searched the forums but could find little on the matter.

Thought as much, well, there was nothing really too important on the backup anyway. Cheers for the quick reply!

I've had issues restoring .ab file backup on my nexus 5. However it works flawlessly without the ".ab" i.e naming my backup as say "backup" works where naming it "backup.ab" fails.
Hi I was messing around with my phone and I deleted the Carrier IQ files but upon reboot it immediatly gives me a Android System has stopped working. I need the files since i've tried decompiling tot file with no luck. :/
Here are the files I need if anyone would be so kind to upload. Thanks.

Glad to help out! Let me know if you need anything else!

I removed the files first then removed them from android tuner. Maybe that was my mistake :/ ..

or perhaps you missed one? could've been anything really, but the removal of CIQ shouldn't cause any problem on your system if done correctly.
also, always backup system files, even if it seems like you'd never need them back, like in this case
If you do it correctly there are no issues. I removed mine a while ago and my phone is just fine.
This is what I would do:
Deactivate carrier iq processes with android tuner, freeze LADDM with titanium and do a reboot.
Remove lib files along with LADDM.apk and do a final reboot.
