The PA mms doesnt have this option. You will need to take the mms.apk out of another rom (cyanogenmod has the feature i believe) located in system/app, then replace the one in your rom that is currently in system/app. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r. A root file explorer will be needed to do this, i would recommend root explorer.

sorry for the double post
Curious..........when we install .apks do they alreadly know where to install its self. some apks i can completely move to the /system/app/ and others go straight to /data/app where most apks go and cannot be moved without FCing
IS there a way to force all data that i want to system/app/
just wanted to know if this is possible...would be sweet
TIA
As far as I know if you install them manually you can install them wherever you want. System or data.
While rom building I've put non-standard apps into the system/app folder with no problem.
If you put them in the system/app folder you might need to make sure the permissions are set right.

I'm probably out of my league here, but I would guess that you should be able to add in the new keyboard (to the SYSTEM folder), select the new keyboard as your default keyboard (using an SMS app or something), then once it's selected you're good to go. You may be able to even delete the old one at that point without any errors?
However, you mentioned cooking and baking so this is what's over my head. Sorry if this doesn't help you.
Also, like that other dude said... "other" apps like the ones installed from the Market usually go in DATA. I noticed that when some ROMs have Maps installed in SYSTEM and you go to update it, it will install the newer version in DATA. I remember seeing in the logcat during boot that the phone detects both versions and just ignores the older version in the SYSTEM folder.

I have used that exact keyboard on ROMs in the past. I did a straight install from the SD card using a file explorer, Astro to be exact.
Maybe I'm missing what you are trying to accomplish, but that's how I installed it. I'm not up on the cooking and baking, but maybe it's different if you are trying to add it to the ROM prior to flashing?
To remove the standard HTC_IME.apk, I would install the new one first then go into adb shell and remove it that route.
The only way I know how to change permissions is by using the Root Explorer app. If you have that you mount r/w and navigate to the apk you wanna change. Then you long press it and go to permissions. It looks like all the ones in /system/app are "User: Read, Write; Group: Read; Others: Read". Hope this helped!

How this you go about installing it ? Am assuming if you managed to delete it you must have rooted and got adb running or Root Explorer.
If you have root explorer and have placed the files in system/app the only issue I think you have is with the permission.
Mount as RW
Navigate to system/app , long press the mms.apk and select permissions, change the permissions to
Read Write
Read
Read
Now do the same for the other file, once your done check below your file description , the permissions should now be similar to the other files present there.
Mount as RO
Reboot,
hopefully it should work.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I think that only .apk will be needed. .odex exist after start of application, so I think that it is only some cashe/data file.
My mms.apk can try download here.
my friends evo is rooted but he deleted standard email and messaging. Is there any way of getting them back?
anyone have ideas?
Find out what ROM he is running and download a copy of the ROM to a computer. Unzip the file and under /system/app you should find the apk's he uninstalled.
all he did was root, he must still be on stock. once i find the apk's do they need to be flashed or just putting them in the folder on the phone will work?
thanks
Hi. I have a stock Galaxy Y with Swype 3.25.91.36057.36060.5607.S5360 pre-installed. I found a version 4.25.92.36347 online and downloaded it. My question is, is it possible to replace the current pre-installed version with the one I downloaded and make it the default system app? My phone is rooted and I have Root App Delete and Link2SD installed so I can pretty much delete system apps (I've already deleted some). If it's possible to do this, how should I go about it? I want to preserve my personal dictionary too, if possible.
Has anybody done this successfully? Is it advisable even? What are the differences between both versions? I want to know so I can decide if I should bother. But for the sake of argument, I want to know how it can be done if I wanted to do it. A step by step tutorial would be great! Unfortunately, a search via Google has turned up nothing so maybe the experts here know better :good:
Thanks and hope to be accommodated kindly!
Use titanium back up to backup swype's data
uninstall swype
install new version
restore data from backup
Not sure if this works.
--
my routine(after flashing new rom)
restore sms backup using Go sms
Install swiftkey.
Use learn option for custom t9 dictionary.

Go to Root Explorer>Mount RW.After that,go to system>app and replace the stock version with the downloaded version of yours by copy and pasting and set the permissions like this:
Rom:JellyBlast V3
Kernel:Kurotstogi
Theme:Xperia theme with some personal modification.
Download Titanium Backup and delete the app there if it's pre installed in the system. And then you can install normally or push to system/app, then change permissions to rw-r-r

sorry, it didn't work. i copied over the original swype.apk with the downloaded version and set the permissions accordingly (i'm using ES explorer with root permissions). i then restarted the phone. after everything was loaded, swype kept on force closing. good thing i backed up the original so everything is back to normal. still, thanks, it was worth a shot.
i suspect it has something to do with deodexing, maybe? anybody else with an idea or have actually experienced doing this successfully?

Have you renamed the downloaded version of Swype with stock one?

yes, i did. i overwrote the file Swype.apk with the downloaded version which I also renamed Swype.apk before I pasted it onto the system/app folder. the original file is 7.1Mb, but the downloaded version is almost 20Mb, which leads me to think that maybe just copying and pasting the other version won't work. I'm thinking maybe I have to install it. But I'm kind of worried now because I don't want my personal dictionary to be erased.
I guess there's no point updating the pre-installed Swype; I suppose there aren't that many changes anyway. Big :good: to those who suggested. Please close the thread.
Thanks.
Well I was trying to follow the instructions from here to turn off the auto conversion from sms to mms whenever you enter an emoji. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472009&page=5
Long story short I ended up with a non-functioning SMS app, and I accidentally deleted my backapp while I was moving things around. SO I guess what I'm asking is if people can give me a copy of there SecMms.apk for kitkat 4.4.2 (Ive tried adding previous versions but that doesn't seem to work). It should be located at the system/priv-app (you have to be rooted to access it). Thanks guys.

I'm using the stock Samsung n9005XXUEND6. I don't know how to extract it from the rom, If you can point me to a simple guide and a little more instructions that would help a lot. Or if you have a compatible SecMms.apk that would really make my day.
Factory reset is not an option for me, as I have not made any backups, and I have too many apps and setting for me to wipe my entire phone.

you can copy the rom to your desktop, and just copy it out... you need rootexporer or esfilemanager with root access, so you can copy it back to system/jpriv-app,
if you look on my signature, I have a thread in the dev section, on Samsung galaxy note 3 and tmobile note 3....
I have the roms for various N9005 phone... and the firmwares....
okay, I had to rar the file, it has the secmms.apk and secmms.odex if your using stock rom... both the files are in there... :good:

Thank you! This worked perfectly! And also another thanks for actually telling me about ES filemanager. I've always used it, but never knew it could access root files. Thank you very much.
