I don't like the HTC Messaging app much because there are too many bugs with it. I don't like Handcent SMS either (the option list is a mile long). I wanted to switch to the stock Android Messaging App.
So what I've tried thus far was to install the stock one, but that obviously didn't work because it tries to override Mms.apk (the HTC one) and since I don't have root, it can't write to /system. So I found that someone on XDA ran into a similar problem and found a way to rename the stock Android Mms package to Mmz and install it without root. Here's the thread: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675914 (replace hxxp with http)
I was able to install it but when launching the app, I get a Force Close dialog. I looked up the error log and the error is:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.mmz/com.android.mmz.ui.ConversationList}:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #4: You must supply a layout_width attribute at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2649)
...
Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to get the stock Messaging on here.

Hi,
I'm using Jellyfish's 2.2 build3 ROM on my blade. I deleted an app called smartdailer.apk and now i have lost the ability to actually type in and dial phone numbers.
I am presuming the default dialer is still there as i can call my contacts (the default dialer is bundled with the contacts app) but i do not have a link to it nor any icon I can click on to access it.
Does anyone know how to restore the froyo 2.2 default dailer?
I'm using ADW launcher and want to place an icon on my home screen
SmartDialer.apk is the default dialler app from ZTE. You can use adb to push this file back after extracting a copy from the ROM zip, or (if you've not changed other bits of the /system directory) you could just flash the ROM again without wiping your data.
Hmm well i reinstalled it so no worries there, but this isn't the dialier i had when i first flashed my phone (different froyo rom)
I'm sure that was the default android one it offered easy access to contacts via tabs at the top of the screen.
I tried posting an image but i'm not allowed as i have less than 8 posts.
Hi community! i have a little problem. since a few hours i am not able to open my drafts-folder anymore. if i choose folder->drafts my mail programm quits with following errormessage:
"The application Mail (process com.htc.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
-- -so i was searching for a fix for this problem. one possible solution was to delete all data over application-manager (settings->manage applications->All->Mail->Clear Data).
it worked only as long as i saved another message in draftsfolder.
-- i also tried to use ROM Manager's option to "Fix Permissions". that worked a few times for other problem, but not this time.
-- i was using DL.DesireZ.v3.3.final.nand by dandiest and yesterday i flashed to new version 3.5. i thought my problem was gone, but its still there..
i dont know why this is happen even if i flashed a new version..
thanks for any suggestions
greetings
EDIT: excess message database over root:
Ok, i did it. i've found a *.db file in rootsystem. /data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases/mail.db
in this file is all you need. accounts,messages, settings etc.
with an explorer which is able to access root its possible to view and edit this file. i've got my message back (at least the content), now i will try to look what keeps my mailprogramm quitting.

How to deinstall HTC Skins?
i now know why this error happens to me. i now started gparted and formated my sdcard (fat and ext4) and flashed again< the error was gone. haha
so i started to set up my phone and reinstalled my applications. to be sure i tested every time i installed an application my drafts folder.
after install of a HTC Sense Skin called "rEVOlution" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928 my mail programm brings the same error as before when i want to access drafts:
"The application Mail (process com.htc.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
so for me this skin causing this error. i know have to know how to deinstall it?
edit: yes thats it. if i change back to default htc skin i am able to access drafts... weird.
solved
to remove the skin and get rid of this error (in this case) you have to delete following files and folder:
/data/data/com.htc.skin.revolution
/data/app/com.htc.skin.revolution-1.apk
then restart. done.

Hi,
For whatever reason my chomp constantly fc'd when opening a message.
I have reinstalled it and my backup is corrupt.
When im trying to customize it now, searching for custom fonts, it used to come up with a package called "Market" with a nice font I used.
I now cannot locate this at all. It was teh Storopia font.
I am not rooted, can anyone tell me a way of being able to locate this font again so I can use it in my messaging?
Thanks for your time.
Hello,
Quick inquiry with regards to a minor complication when attempting to flash a custom theme to a Sony Xperia X10.
The device has been rooted successfully and is currently running Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 v053.
I have attempted to flash a custom theme titled "Galaxy S for CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable". Everything functions perfectly thus far. Other then the fact that upon reboot an error messages specifies that Gmail has ceased unexpectedly.
The exact message displayed is quoted as "The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Although this message displays consistently upon each attempt to restart the program. Also automatically once the device initializes from a reboot or shutdown. The theme was flashed via xrecovery as custom zip. As per instructions "cmparts_ui.xml" was transferred to /sdcard/CMTheme and selected from the Tweaks menu.
(Thread referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876600)
This problem did not occur originally when CM 6.1.3 was flashed. Would resolution be a matter of reflashing Cyanogenmod? or as simple as updating the application itself within the market? I can not locate any original files to flash back to the provided theme packaged with the most recent 6.1.3 mod and I can only surmise that doing so would resolve this issue.
Final note would be the process one would take to uninstall such custom themes. I've noticed deleting the .xml file from the sd card does remove it from the tweaks menu. However does this procedure ensure deletion of all associated files? Or is there a proper method to ensure complete removal is successfully accomplished?
Any feedback with respect to this particular theme including whether or not it would be necessarily recommended is much appreciated. This wouldn't be my first flash/root/modification or customization of a device. However this is my first Xperia X10. So I do want to make sure I am being as accurate as possible to avoid any future complications.
Thanks for everyones time and attention.
*Although on the plus side I'm able to transfer my contacts from a SIM card directly to the device with this current version of firmware. Such feature was greyed out in the menu initially
the theme probably has a custom gmail apk in it. which is either broken or incompatible with 6.1.3.
try opening wb's 6.1.3 with 7zip and pull the gmail.apk from that rom. copy it to your sd card, then use root explorer to copy it to /system/app. give it the correct permissions and reboot. problem should be fixed.
hello
thanks for your reply. your instructions sounded quite logical and i assumed id have no complications. i copied the app as per your instructions. overwrote the existing entry when prompted. however upon reboot gmail has been removed off the home screen.
attempting a manual install either within the system/app directory or through the sd card returns an unable to install error message.
ive gone ahead and downloaded the gmail app from the market. which thankfully does install. it is functioning and installs successfully to the device.
presumably anyone experiencing this same issue should download the app from the market very strange occurrence indeed.
my only other issue currently is the GPS functionality. switching on the gps displays no indicator within the toolbar. location based services seem not to pick up a location what so ever.
im hopeful this isnt a result of flashing this particular theme. any suggestions?
If you have flashed a framework etc for that theme (using xrec) it won't reverse if you delete that xml file in the sd card.
If you want to go back to original make a copy of that theme xrec and replace its apks with the apks from the ROMs xrec zip. Then flash it.
And if you want to use the theme and also the gmail apk look and feel (theme). Try replacing original gmail apks .png images, which are in drawable-hdpi etc. folders, with the themes gmail apk images.

after you copied to /system/app, did you change permissions?
the theme may not have a status_gps.png icon or, it's the same color as your status bar.
the app never requested a permission change. upon trying to start originally would just return error.
this was resolved by downloading directly from the market. my only issue now is what to do with the gps connectivity? as it does not seem to be returning a location. the only other thing ive noticed is the default camera app does not zoom.
im trying to assess whether any of this is a result of having changed the theme to the galaxy s cm 6.1 mentioned in the initial post, and how to go about fixing these issues to avoid having to flash back to the original cm6 stock theme.
** GPS has been fixed and is fully functional. Single issue remains with regards to camera not zooming what so ever. Although now attempting an upgrade to CM7. Thanks everyone
I removed app but I still get "the package conflicts with an existing package by the"
Hi!
I uninstalled stock gallery app (with Rom Toolbox) because it did not work properly. But then I discovered that stock camera app depends on it and cant cant use third party gallery app. So I wanted to install my stock gallery app back. I got it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/s7-edge-gallery-app-stock-app-request-t3351010 . But when I try to install it it tells me "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".
What should I do? And how does it still remember it? I removed SecGallery2015 directory with all it's contents from /system/priv-app but even after that it tells me this. How can I make my phone completely forget that this app ever existed?
Background information: At first I tried Samsung Camera Any Gallery Fix but it did not work.

Clean data and cache related to the app. L Speed can do that. You can delete them manually if you know their location which sometimes it is in Android/data
