copy and replace the mms.apk i uploaded in /system/app folder with a file manager and set permissions to read-write for user and read for group and other. after that reboot

ps: before you change anything do a backup

ok its showing this
owner - read , write, execute (no ticks)
group - read, write, execute (all three ticks)
others - read, write, execute (read and execute only ticked)

i tried ticking all the empty ones it gives an error that changing permissions wasn't successful ... some system apps don't allow permission changes

you have to mount system as read-write

ok, flash this in recovery

 

[jafferkhan]

made a backup, now i hope this doesn't spoil it again

 

[jafferkhan]

ok, flash this in recovery

should i flash it as a zip or unzip it, take out the mms apk and then install it through recovery?

I guess you are flashing a 4.2.2 MMS.apk on a 4.1.1 rom so it's not going to work.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637121
It's for 4.0.4 but should work on 4.1.1, if it not work then restore the original MMS.apk you can get it from one of the 4.1.1 roms on the forum.
