I am having a problem where the stock MMS (messaging) app closes every time I try to run it. I get a force close message on boot up and each time I try to run it I hangs for a minute and then force closes. I think this may be related to my attempt to restore my MMS history from my previous phone (using Titanium) as I just switched to the E4GT from the Epic 4G this week. I was able to get the data to migrate fine at first and then at some point the old messages disappeared from the app and then after I rebooted the app just force closed.

While I would like to get those old messages back, the bigger problem is that I cannot seem to fix the force closes. I have tried:
  • Clearing app data
  • Using root explorer to paste in a copy of stock messaging app into system/apps
  • Using a clockwork mod flashable zip I found of the stock app and installing it in CWM and wiping dalvik and cache
None of this has any effect.

Any other thoughts about what I could do short of going back to stock with Odin? FYI, I am running EG30-Stock-deodexV3-withCIQ along with LoStKernel-1.0.2.4
