Install Stock ICS Messaging app? (mms.apk?)

Bakedbread · Jun 18, 2012

So I tried looking for a solution and so far havent found anything

I like stock touchwiz (so far) mostly because of the Motion options Samsung introduced (AOKP and CM9 have yet to implement these)

I really liked the stock messaging app from ICS (coming from a Galaxy Nexus) and was wondering if there is a way of getting it on the S3

I tried pushing the stock "mms.apk" to the /system/app folder but it keep saying there is a conflict and cannot install (installing the stock gallery.apk worked though)

The S3 messaging app is called "Secmms.apk" , but even if i rename that and try installing the stock mms.apk it just said the install failed

Does anyone have any clue on how to install the stock ICS messaging app?

Thanks in advance!

haha sorry, im on Wanam 1.2 (LF2 base) custom ROM

Thank you! Your apk worked, but do you have the same messaging mms.apk that ISN'T inverted in colours? (Basically the stock green messaging one from Galaxy Nexus)?

Thanks again!

Your welcome!

BTW, if you want the calendar (ICS version) let me know. It works too!!!

peetah_k · Jun 19, 2012

Thanks for posting that. Worked perfectly over here.

Any chance of getting the stock contacts app or will that take more effort than it's worth?

Now that the issue is solved, can someone upload the vanilla apk for the gallery please

And yeah, calendar would be nice too.

can you share ICS calendar?

can someone post the ics msg app screenshot...? i want to try it too...

Contacts is part of the dialler so you'll get into a mess if you try to change that, I did. I also changed the keyboard by putting in the latinIME.apk and then switching to it as the default input method. I find the stock keyboard quite unreliable.

If you use the CM gallery, as already posted, you can set the background screen image to be scrollable at the right resolution.

As requested my friend!

I have also attached the Email APK too. Looks more sleek than the original.

Again, credits to the person that originally uploaded it.

Re add it in menu, setting, security, lockscreen, shortcuts... works Fine

thanks for tweeting suroot!

I'm referring to the big circle with the sms icon that appears on the right center of the lockscreen that we used to get then a new sms arrives - then we drag it from the left to the right to open the sms application, that way we don't have to sacrifice one of the 4 shortcut slots for sms app

that's the one I was referring to, and it's gone now!

Thanks for that but I am having trouble replacing the Email (Exchange) app from my stock rooted S3.
Do you have to have a deoxed ROM to replace the Email app for the stock one?
I cannot replace email.apk as there is simply none in the ROM, only an Exchange.apk
