Has anyone been able to replace the stock mms.apk with the one that has the extra features, it says its only for 2.1 but when i try to use root explorer to paste it, it doesn't stick. Any help i would be grateful.

What "extra features"?
try adb pushing it.. root explorer has issues on the epic apparently... i had sameproblem trying to paste a ringtone.

I havent had any problems with root explorer. Ive used it to move files from dropbox to folders, delete bloatware, create folders for ringtones/notifications that i imported and install a few .apk's. Is there something i'm missing or should keep an eye out for?

Mind sharing the modified mms.apk? What is exactly "modified"?

Here is the link that explains the added features and the download link. The only thing i can't get to work is the colors of the led aside from that works just as stock.

i also was able to use it before.. not sure if the update or kernel i'm running now killed it
I was able to install but it removes messaging app from dock. Anyone else with this issue? FYI this mod app LETS you send/receive mms while on wifi
I must not be following the terminal instructions correctly. when I type the cp command line it tells me that cp is not found.

Yeah I'm running a custom touchwiz where you can edit the bottom defaults and the apps. The new Mms.apk does remove the messaging icon, but with the custom touchwiz launcher that I'm using you can put the Mms icon back.

hi, care to share youre custom touchwiz launcher? thanks
I will post it whenever I get out of class. The only issues I had with this touchwiz launcher is that the google search widget is overally large and the samsung widgets do not load. So I deleted the samsung widgets.

So just the icon in touchwiz gets broken? Everything else works?
The custom touchwiz launcher I had didn't look right. The dock icons were smaller and widgets didn't fit the screen right. Anyone have one that doesn't have these issues

This mod is only for Dzo's Ics w3.x kernel. Please try install zip in cwm recovery. Thank you.
Hi guys,
I edited the layout of default fm app which works on dzo's ics, i think it's now much acceptable
first i should say, i don't know anything about programming, so, i will work on ui only.
How should we install it?
Sent from my U8800
Don't work for me!
Thanks, but it doesn't install here either. It first complained about different signature from the app already installed. I uninstalled the old one, but yours still failed to install, with no error message.

Maybe it isn't signed.
I've signed it myself, please try to install it now. (Remove the old one first).
If it doesn't work, try to put it on /system/app and set the right permissions (644, or rw-r--r--)
Best regards
PS: I haven't tested both methods, so please feel free to test and post results!

hi mrasquinho,
i forgot to say, i used apkedit for decompile and compile apk and first time and i've got different signature alert. i removed original fm.apk and then i installed correctly.
i think the problem is different signs.
and also, i should to say, if i remember right, this fm app works only with dzo's ics and 3.x kernel.
Hi again guys,
i used this time apk multi tool and i got the same problems again.
first i deleted original fm.apk from system/app folder, then i tried to install new fm.apk. i couldn't install new app. then installed again original.fm.app then tried to install new app. i got error message about signs. then removed original and then i succeded, i installed new app.
it's weird, i don't know why i can't install at first attemp.
but now it works.
if someone want to try , can download.
For me neither snc-tr or mrasquinho app works. But strange thing happened when I reinstalled stock FM.apk, I got another icon in launcher - FM transmiter. Didin't test it but that icon disappeared after reboot
@snc-tr
Thank you for providing this apk and for describing the way to install it.
I got it to install after
1.deleting /system/app/FM.apk
2.rebooting
3.installing OriginalFM.apk
4.uninstalling OriginalFM.apk (through Settings)
5.Install SignedFM.apk (+reboot)
It is indeed much better than stock app.
Just a suggestion: could you replace the app's icon with a better one? (for example the one from CMFM or Huawei FM app from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23097159&postcount=383)
@Zephyr1988
Thank you for your instructions. And you're right, tomorrow i will change the icon.

Hello everyone,
I have attached a modded FM.apk that replaces the launcher icon and the status bar Icon with the one's from CM's fm app.
(Make sure if you are replacing another apk to rename this one to FM.apk to overwrite the old one)
All credits for this mod should go to snc-tr.

I second this. I'm using a "simulated" version of this theme if you will, with just the wallpaper and some icons. Would definitely love the full themed treatment.
Definitely one of the best themes I've seen.

Damn that is ugly as hell. However it is easy. Easy but time consuming. Download that APK and also copy over one of the themes such as um well that Marshmellow app. Rename the apks to ------.zip and extract both. Now just looks for the same icons so e.g. the browser APK replace the one from that CM theme and so on. once all is done rezip it and rename is back to .apk and install.

I unzip the file then re zipped it, changed the extension to apk but stays as a zip. Let say inserted new icon like the KIK app do i need to change anything else on the xml files?
Haven't tried this myself since I'm not rooted but thought I would pass this along.

This isn't GEL. This is just the GEL dialer which allows you to search for businesses within the dialer like the Nexus 5.
And yea, you need to be rooted for this to work.

The appearance isn't going to change. Did you try looking for a business in the search field? And are you sure you aren't hitting the stock phone icon?

Yes I tried searching several businesses. And there is only one phone icon. I placed it in system/priv-app and changed permissions to 0644.

You're supposed to create a shortcut for the new dialer and make that your new phone icon.
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
1. Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
2. Choose "Shortcuts"
3. Select "Activities"
4. Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.

If you're not running a custom launcher like Nova, you can also use this app to create the shortcut:

Okay. I'm using GEL. I will do this in a few and report back. Thanks

No prob. Glad you got it working.
So I installed the APK and added a shortcut Nova Launcher and I can search for businesses and stuff just fine, but when I try to make a call in the dialer it crashes. I downloaded the apk from 2 different mirrors so that isn't the issue. I would try to flash the zip but I don't have the slightest idea how to do that.

Did you follow these steps?
2. Flash the ZIP file in a custom recovery, or copy the APK file directly into /system/priv-app.
3. If you opted to move the APK file manually, you'll need to set the permissions on the APK to 644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell.
4. Reboot your phone.

Well I got it to work somehow. I'm not entirely sure what I did differently this time but oh well.

Do you have root access?
Is there any way around if you don't have root?
Self promotion aside, I created a thread for this a while back. This dialer works flawlessly without the need for nova or an activity launcher.

As long as you are rooted use an app like root explorer from playstore and you go to system then app and make sure you copy the app you want to replace to a safe place and put the new one in(the new one probably won't have an index so delete it from the system/app) and put permissions
