Where can I find the stock mms.apk which works on any phone? I had it before but removed it and now want it back. Searched eveywhere but cant find it again. It either force closes or doesnt work.
Try searching in "Themes and apps" thread, I think there is an repository of all system apk's and framework for some FWs.

I cant get Google talk to install. Im rooted with CM7, I originally uninstalled gtalk, but we have started using it at work, so I would like to start using it again. I downloaded one apk online, but every time i try to run it, it force closes. I read somewhere that I need a Google framework and services apk also. Somebody give me a hand with this. I also tried reloading the gapps rom from my sdcard, but no luck still get force closes with gtalk.
I'd like to know too. It was really hard to find when I removed it.
Here is the Talk.apk file from /system/app/:

Hope this works for you.
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'm trying to find a zip of the .apk files for some of the stock Samsung apps, specifically the contacts app. I think having these stickied in this sub-forum would be helpful, anyways.
The reason I would like to have access to them is because on my current rom (Infamous) the contacts app crashes on opening. I figure force uninstalling it through TiB and reinstalling a fresh version would probably fix the issue, but I'm not finding anywhere to download the apps after searching on Google and on here.
Hi,
My Google search bar is missing. I was deleting lg apps that I thought was unnecessary via titanium backup and now its gone.
I still have Google Now though. I just don't have the search bar, and its not available in the widget section.
Does anyone have the apk so I can reinstall it?
Thanks in advance.
Hey there, i'm attaching a google search apk , hope it works for you :cheers:
I'm having a hard time with the android N apps.
I either can get them open and shut or they fail to be compiled. Decompile hasn't given me any problems
Systemui is my main focus right now.. I need to make some heavy changes to the existing code to activate my mods..
Unfortunately every time I repack and re flash the systemui is no good. Fc constantly or it won't even get installed and activate...
I seen apktool has had some issues but Changelog indicated it was able to handle n based apps as long as sources where installed.. Witch I've done with all 3 framework files the LG uses.
What am I missing here? Do I need to move my modded apk info from my new signed app back into the signed one or can it be used signed with a testkey or private key?
Why even when I successfully d and b a apk on android N is it always fc and not working even with 0 mods being done.
I know this isn't the best place but its holding me back from releasing any additional updates for my rom/device.
I understand the process and commands I'm just not getting it right.. My works been pre mm/n so I'm just not aware of the bugs and tricks to get it going. I understand apktool and how to decompile and I dont need my hand held.. Just a push to the right plaxe.
Anyone willing to try some of my modded apks I'm willing to send and test with you also. Again mostly systemui is my focus so its not a easy test for some and each try is a pain if it didn't work lol.. If anything I'd send over my edited arrays and values files for the apk and have you open close the apk for now I'd be content but truly I should be learning this so I can continue on working on this static monster

I had issues with mm due to java.. Had to revert to an older version. Don't know if that's your issue, but the only one. I ever had.
