When I pull the SMS apk from another custom ROM and copy/paste it to system/app, set permissions and reboot. All I'm getting is force closes.
I can reinstall my original apk and it works perfectly.
I'm trying to get the stock looking MMS app that isn't dark themed but has the theme engine and emoji key. Like in orca and root box.

I need the firewall and data monitor from MIUi.
Installing the apk or moving to system didnt worked.
File Manager got easily installed though.
Any way to install Antispam.apk (Firewall app) and Monitor.apk ?
Why don't you install any alternate app from play store.
Did you set correct permissions when moved to /system/app
??

I already put Email stock app and exchange app in the system/app but it still doesn't show. And when I try to install it via apk installer, it says app didn't installed what should I do please help!

i think the easiest way is to flash zip file of gapps downloaded from the following site.

and when u install any apk files, u should disable all "overlay-type" apps, for example battery mix, screen filter and so on.
If I'm just staying on stock but rooted...where would I get the odex file that comes with the apk file?
For instance I copied the mms.apk file from another rom a while back because it was color themed (the bubbles)...but at the time I was on an deodexed rom. Now I'm on an odexed rom (stock). Then I just copied it to system/app set permissions and rebooted.
Can I still do that?

Yes it will work fine, you just won't get an odex file to begin with. Don't use the old odex or force one on it will cause lots and lots of force closes and class definition problems. Download an app called SystemCleanup, it can create odex files for any system apps. Sideload something like MMS.apk from CM10 (like I did), set perms, then create an odex.
Jobs a good'n

I did this but before you had responded and never made the odex file...seems to be working fine. Do I need to do that? Or just leave it be?

odex file will speed up a tiny amount.
Hi,
I've been wondering if I could somehow push the stock 4.2.2 Launcher that comes with the stock jellybean update into lets say CM10.1? I always preferred the stock Launcher over all those different ones, is it possible though?
Take the app from the stock ROM located in system/app. I believe its called "launcher2".
Then just put it into the system/app directory of the other ROM. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r, and delete the old launcher that is there. (In the case of CM, I think the original launcher is trebuchet so delete that apk)

I tried that before and I couldn't get it to work, I also tried to install the "Launcher2.apk" and it refused to install, I managed to install it by doing the following steps:
1-Flash the stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147281
2- Download Titanium backup and back-up the "Launcher2.apk" file.
3- Do a full reset to phone/cache/dalvik
4- Flash the latest RC1 CM10.1 or whatever ROM, then reboot.
5- Install TB again and then restore (App+Data) for the "Launcher2" file.
6-Reboot
7- When booted, choose the "Launcher2" as the default Launcher.
8-Finally, launch TB and deleted "Trebuchet", Reboot.
The procedure might take long and I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do it, but I got it to work that way.
Thanks!
Just wondering if it's safe to delete the stock sms apk. I use handcent and don't really like hiding apps.
In root browser or explorer... just rename it to MMS.apk.bak or just add .bak to apk file on system/app
