Default [Q] Stock Sammy SMS Messenger?

Ok, so I know I might be in the minority on this, but is there anyway to get the default/stock Samsung messenger for the Charge? I'm fairly new to all of this & am running a custom rom that has the AOSP messenger.

I liked the Sammy messenger over GoSMS/Handcent/Chomp, so if there's a way to find the APK, it would be much appreciated

you should be able to rip the stock mms.apk out of one of the stock debloated rom .zip packages, it'd probably be better to match froyo with froyo (EE4) and GB with GB (EP1Q/EP1W)

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it won't let me install the apk. I've downloaded & unziped imnuts rooted stock rom (EE4). I transferred the mms.apk file to my SD card & tried to install using ES File Explorer. But every time I try to install it I get a message saying that it was unsuccessful.

Do I need to bring over the mms.odex file over too? Or maybe the mmsporvisioning.apk file?

I do appreciate the help though

First things first. Are you on stock or on a ROM? If on a ROM which one?

I tried out GC 2.0 & the cool themes, but right now I'm on Humble 1.62.

As much as I liked the themed messengers in GC, I still liked Sammy...simple, easy to read & hassle free.

Thanks guys

Thanks Gunner. So I should be able to just drop the MMS.apk file into the system folder & that will allow me to install it?

mount your file explorer of choice (Root Explorer is recommended but Super Manager is a nice free alternative) as read/write then yes drop in /system/app and you should be golden though it might require a reboot to take effect... I should have mentioned this in my previous post as this is what I meant, it probably would've saved you some time
