[APK] [MOD] Side load CM10.1's MMS.apk for AOSP texting + more

[burningembers]

Edit 2: Various replies below are currently offering up to a $50 bounty for a fully functioning CM MMS.apk for SGS4 TW

EDIT: This will work for regular SMS, but crash for all send/receive MMS. Recommended to wait until MMS will work properly.

<Insert typical disclaimer here about possibility of messing up your phone. You assume all liability/risks.>

Attached is the MMS.apk from the latest CM10.1 nightly. It includes things like emoji, notification quick reply, notification mark as read, custom vibration settings, and pop-up SMS.

I am successfully running this on my stock, rooted, AT&T SGS4.

1) Root SGS4.
2) Use an app like Root Explorer or a simple 'adb push MMS.apk /system/app' to get the MMS.apk onto your phone.
3) Drop MMS.apk into /system/app
4) Reboot. On reboot it will REPLACE SecMms, the Samsung one with hover view. However, since the Samsung one uses a different file name, if you simply remove MMS.apk from /system/app you can revert back (as SecMms still exists)
5) Profit

Extras: Yes, it can still be used with Multi-window. No, hover view does not work. Yes, you can also just run the apk and install it, but I always feel safer dropping them in myself.

I was so excited. It installed and appeared to work great but it crashes when sending MMS. This really is the single think I want more than any other is a stock SMS replacement.

Ah, you're right. Shoot.

Looks like to fix that I'll need to decomp framework and make some tweaks. I'll see what I can do and let you know...

does this one still have group chat in the settings? and does it have emoji? i remember having it on a old aokp cm10.1 hybrid

Looks good. I will wait until MMS is fixed.

Sadness. My baksmali and smali tools aren't working correctly. Can anybody else who knows what they're doing accomplish the following?

thanks so much for this
couple things i hate about TWZ is the SMS/browser

i love AOSP for their simple stock apps

SMS is working perfectly for me - MMS isnt a huge thing since i dont use it often

So far i have AOSP Browser/SMS...does anyone know if AOSP Phone and Contacts will be able to sideloaded too?

Hey I've got a black themed one for anyone who wants to use it? There are two variants, both are named accordingly and will need to be renamed before choosing which one you want to use.
Regular layout MMS Black
OR
Bubble layout MMS Black

Thanks! Just what I wanted.
By the way, after installing this, does this add an extra page to lock screen? I have two pages showing up clock and date. Also, is it possible to get quick reply in the lock screen without ever swiping to unlock to reply?

TIA

You probably have two lock screen pages because you added two, this nor the other sms apk would add another page with a clock on it.
Go to your lock screen and swipe across the clock to the left until you see the plus button then hit it. Add a random widget.
You'll now be at a zoomed out state of all the pages of lockscreen widgets you have.
Drag any page up to the top until it turns red to remove it.

As far as quick reply i don't think so edit, i think thats just how it is. The default app notifies you of a new message on the lock screen and you click it then swipe to unlock and thats just how touchwiz works, you'll also notice no quick reply from the notification bar using the samsung sms app.
Using this apk you should be able to quick reply from the notification bar meaning if you just have swipe to unlock and no pattern or pin or anything you can pull down the notification bar from the lockscreen and hit the reply button there and that should work.

I uninstalled Mms.apk and went back to original Samsung messaging and that extra page disappeared. First pic is a my lockscreen looks with Samsung app. Second one is pic of lockscreen with custom mms.apk installed and with the original lockscreen being a second page. Ideally I want the Samsung lockscreen because it shows active alarms.
I am able to drag the Samsung screen to remove but it still shows after. I can't drag the other screen nor can I make the Samsung page my default page when I turn on the phone
I also disabled multiple widgets.

Never mind. All I had to do was rename SecMms.apk.

Glad you figured it out

 

[lilmikey201]

does it still crash?

 

[wipecache]

I found that mms works when I use Rom Toolbox to attach the pic

Edit: Attach the pic using Rom Toolbox....once it attaches to the text, click view and have gallery open it to view it. Press back. Click send. Done.

My idiot self deleted secmms.apk by accident instead of mms.apk to revert back. Does anyone know where I can get the secmms.apk?
