Hi
Im at work so dont have access to ADB.
Im running Alex-V 1.5 HDa2sd+, ive just found the Gingerbread keyboard and want to use it but if i install i get FC's on any key press, im assuming that its because i need to delete the stock keyboard first
Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this with Root Explorer ?
Thanks
Gingerbread keyboard crashes on HD roms generally. Please, change the thread title to reflect the exact problem, not your thoughts about it.
Sent from a piece of ginger bread... Now with a little cyan tint
Can anyone extract the modded mms.apk from one of the android roms for hd2.
I need a mms client that allows u to spoof the user agent. It is available in most cyanogen mods.
Help will be appreciated since i am stuck with low mms picture issue with my desire hd.

I have the same problem in all rom minus Frankeintine.
But you can copy cyanogen mms.apk to any desire hd rom?
Thanks
I dont know. Hmm'
Can anyone shed light
Anyone care to try this to confirm it works???
Heres how I fixed it....
Somewhere along the way I saved an mms.apk. I think from JI6 or something else. It was my last mms that worked anywho...So I used Root Explorer and moved my AOSP mms out of system/app and moved mms.apk into its place and set permissions rw-r--r-- and sent a pic message and it went thru. So I then put the AOSP mms from the OP(Bionix-v) back into the system/app and reset permissions to rw-r--r-- and tried it again and it works now.
Someone also said to export contacts to sim and use those but didn't need to try that route.
***Edit Wife tried the export contacts....didn't work for her
So ..find an mms.apk that worked for you last (ugly blue & yellow bubbles) and try it. Astro , Super Manger and the like should work
Make sure to move your current MMS.apk out or copy it so that you can place it back to see if it works (I used the AOSP because I dont like the stock mms)
Ugly Stock MMS that worked for me http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5S45Z54B
Added link to stock mms that worked for me..
My MMS wasn't working. I installed GoMMS, sent one message, uninstalled GoMMS and now default MMS works fine...

Hmmm.. so maybe the code gets broken somewhere along the line and inducing another mms.apk or mms app and then going back fixes the issue.
what rom are you using? I have never had an issue with MMS using Stock rom.

I ve only ever used Team Whiskey ROMs.. from original Bionix to Fusion to Obsidian/Nero etc etc... and Stock. My wife has this problem coming from JI6 OTA to KA6 Kies.. I had this problem on every ROM other then JI6 OTA and I'm on Bionix V.. I fixed mine by doing what I posted in the OP...wife doesn't want her's rooted or anything other than stock.
well I upgrade from JI6 to KA6 using Kies and I don't have an issue with MMS...what issue are you having? blurry pics?
Another method that worked for me was to go into "manage applications" and "clear data" for the messaging app. Of course, it deleted all my messages, but I don't hang on to them, so it didn't matter to me.
YMMV

Long time reader, first time poster!
So I've been switching between Cm mod and the stock rom a few times yesterday. When I tried sending out a few mms (video and/or pictures) and it seems to stop working now...I've read i may need to reinstall the stock mms.apk pack but I don't even know where to begin!
Is there any ideas where I should go from here?

what ROM are you currently on? What are you using to send the MMS?
I have a similar problem on CM7 using Handcent. MMS don't send, but do come through most (if not all) of the time.
So instead of tinkering with the problem, I backed everything up and went with mik's re-engineered rom with a 1.5ghz overlcock kernel. I appreciate the suggestions though, Thanks!
Looks like the new ICE Gmail app will run on the A500.
Runs fine on mine with Lightspeed ROM .
To install you'll need to use a file manager such as Root Explorer.
Go to /system/app and rename gmail.apk to something else like gmail.apk1
Then copy the attached gmail.apk to that folder.

That's it ! Any gmail widgets will vanish so you'll need to add new ones.
For more info on the new gmail app see this article :

been using this for a while, but thanks for sharing.
Only bug I notice is the email address being cut off at the top, but not a big deal
Oh, and the widget works for me. Fully resizable too.
working!
big thanks here.

I followed the directions restarted and now all I get is a force close. It shows the new widget in screen editor but wont let me place on the homescreen or open the app itself, anyone have any advice?

Does not work here on Thor's rom! I had to revert to the "old" Gmail and I lost my widget that shows the 4-5 last mails received.
Any1 can help?
it works on Thor's ROM, as that is what I'm using it with.When putting the apk in /system/app make sure to set the permissions rw-r--r-- (you can do this with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) and also reboot afterwards or you may get FC's.
Thanks Bloodfame, it works now...any idea as how to to get a widget similar to the one we had before?

Glad it worked out for you. As far as the widget goes, honestly I have no idea what the old widget looked like (never use it) so I have nothing to go by. There is a nice widget included though. It's fully resizable and you can choose which label to display.
@NoUseToRush - I don't know if it will work but I attach the 3.1 gmail image which I extracted from the old APK.
@Bloodflame
thanks for the response. The only widget included, at least on my system, is the one that launches the email client included in Thors' rom...not the "modified" gmail we are now using.
Anyhow, I can live without it
@ metpolds
I have the icon. I was looking for the widget. Thanks
Nice! This app work only on a500? Or is compatible with many other device gingerbread?

Not sure why you don't have the widget, I received the new ICS widget along with the new Gmail app

did you restart your a500? that or do a force close on your launcher in the 'manage applications' under settings.
this happens a lot with some widgets. they wont show unless a reboot or launcher reboot

Are any of you guys/gals running this ICS Gmail on 3.1 or are you all on some variation of 3.2? I'm still running rooted vanilla 3.1 and when I try to install the APK it comes up with error "failed to parse application". (I did change the permissions!)
Sorry ppl further question - When you replaced Gmail.apk did you also replace the "odex" file or did you leave the original one there? Thks for your patience

1) I'm using 3.2 and it's working for me.
2) You don't install the APK - it's manually replaced in /system/app
3) My ROM (and most other custom ROM's) are deodexed, therefore there is no odex file. You may need a deodexed ROM for this to work, as I believe there might be an issue trying to use the old odex file. Unless you can track down the odex for this version.
@Bloodflame - Many thanks for your answers. Never having installed a custom rom I did not realise the point about "deodexed". However I've decided today to try my luck at installing "Kekinash's near stock" rom so when that's done I'll probably try the ICS Gmail again. Your comment about deodexed comes at an appropriate time because last night I opened up the rom and found for every apk there was an accompanying odex and now I understand the difference between an odexed and deodexed rom

You're welcome. Glad I could help
It might be worthwhile to educate yourself on the Android terminology if you intend to do a lot of modding, flashing custom ROM's, and the sorts. odex/deodex, zipalign, compcache, kernels, etc. Learning what each of these do and how they can affect the performance of your ROM's might help with a happier Android experience overall. Never be afraid to ask questions and don't attempt any kind of modding without a full undestanding of what you're doing. Just my food for thought

I did have it replaced in /system/app + permissions changed, but it doesn't work for me either.
