I want to keep my Nexus stock but I really like the text message app from cm. Is there a way to use that one instead of the stock message app? I'm assuming I just have to remove the stock app and then replace it with the cm one right?

Yup. Replace and set permissions. Reboot
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Replace it in root explorer.
Yes, just use any file manager with root access and replace it and then give correct permission (rwx-r--r-- I believe)
Also I highly advise you to make a copy of the stock app and place it somewhere in the phone, just in case.
ALSO if you're odexed, this might now work as it also needs odex file and if you are odexed and replaced the app, you might get into the bootloop I think. Never tried it on odexed ROMs, but I think that's what happens

I'm using stock. I'm not sure if stock is odexed. How do I get the app? Do I just unzip a cm update zip?

Did you do flash any ROM? If not, you have odexed ROM. Make sure to make a nandroid backup before doing this as I believe you might get into the bootloop.
You can easily get the app by doing that.

All ive done with the phone is unlock the bootloader and root it. So your saying that I should install a CWM and do a nandroid? Won't installing that wipe my phone?

No. Before you screw with anything in system, make a backup. If you break something, a simple restore will fix it.
The cm message app is system/app/messaging.apk. Extract it from the cm zip and follow the directions above to install it.

You won't go into a boot loop, only thing that will happen is either the Mms.apk won't show up in the launcher or it'll FC. Sometimes, using the newest one from nightlies will cause FC. One has been posted in the apps section that works and has what you're looking for. Its better to use any root explorer app and copy it to /system/apps and fix permissions. And like someone said, make a copy of your original Mms.apk and Mms.odex files to your phone..
Sent from my Nexus 4
If you're just stock rooted, you'll have to go in and re-install the messaging app after every reboot because the stock uses the .odex files to create the mms app, but there is a stock, deodexed, rooted ROM here, and you can just load the CM10.1 MMS into it and it'll work fine. That's what I did
Or you could check out Glowfly on the play store.
It's a pop-up notification app with quick reply support.
Made the same recommendation in a similar thread in the Themes and Apps section. I'm not affiliated with the devs. Just wanted to show support for a good app.
anyone know if this app changes the orienation of your photos from landscape to portrait? This seemed to be a bug on all roms using this apk on my old Galaxy s2.

Hey, just wanted to find out if using the factory data reset on (in this case) PA 3.92, will unroot the phone, or will it simply just delete all my data/folders/pictures (like a new device) and keep root? Thanks!

All PA builds will be rooted by default, they have integrated superuser into the framework. So you need not worry about rooting after flashing a PA ROM.
Hi,
I have a galaxy s4 att rooted phone that is stuck in a boot loop. It turns on and works until it gets to to the att logo then it freezes. It happened because I tried to install a custom font on my phone using font installer. I looked everywhere on xda, google, and different sites but I didn't find anything. What I tried to do was use odin 3 and get it back to stock. I really don't need any of my data its fine if I don't get it back but I need it to be fixed. Its soft-bricked at the moment. I tried using different odin3 softwares and different files to work with odin and my phone, but they all give me fails. I used different usb cables and ports on my computer. I took all the advice I could from the internet but nothing. I was hoping someone could help me out here?

Can you get into recovery mode? If you can do a factory reset. It'll get you past the boot loop.

Yes but my only options are
Reboot system now
Apply update from adb
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
When I click wipe data/factory reset it just gives me the option to wipe the data.

Do wipe data /factory reset
I love how no one is asking the most important question... Are you on MF3, OP? It sounds like you are and if so, you are pretty much screwed unless you know ADB and know exactly what went wrong OR if the wipe data/factory reset works.
They are both the same by the way. Wiping data is a factory reset.

Well, you're helpful. The dude has a serious problem and you butt in with that? Troll somewhere else!
Unfortunately ADB is not a specialty of mine. I also have no idea what went wrong. I know what you told me, but there is more specific things than the process of changing the font.
A system file that got changed. What was the change? Where is the file located? What is the file name? Are there more than one that could have been changed?
I am more of a hardware specialist. I know the bare basics of software but not enough to be confident enough to walk you through changing system files.

Manually put the phone into download / ODIN mode (if you can), then, manually cancel out of download mode and see if your phone will reboot.
Like this guy tried in this post...and see if it works for you.

Because I know what is needed, but not exactly how to do it. I can give enough info to spark some interest in research. I didn't put anyone down, so don't try to make me look like the bad guy.

I'll go with that. Didn't want to make you look like a bad guy. I agree, people here need to do a lot more research before they mess with their phones. No worries. I know you know a lot about the devices. I too hate to see people mess up their phones because they don't read and learn.
No harm done. If i knew exactly how to solve OP's problem, I would. I would also tell them to not mess with stuff that can break their expensive ass phone until he/she fully understands the risk involved. I completely understand the risks and am ready to have a broke device. I am still careful with my phone though because I don't want to have to be ready. Especially since my phone shipped with MDL. I don't want to risk getting a MF3 device.

you can get the firmware from my firmware thread at the top of the 5360 dev section which also has links to guides
remember next time - if you flash or do anything to your phone make a nandroid backup first - you can then just restore your nandroid backup if anything goes wrong
