Hey all--please bear w me as I've been busy with work all year and have not been able to get back on xda since "Jellybean days". Now I've flashed a KK rom & I'm really not digging Hangouts as my default SMS app, so I'm nandroiding back to 4.3
Question: Is there any way I can use 7-zip to put mms.apk into my rom zip before flashing it? Can I set mms.apk as my default messaging app that way? This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading to 4.4 currently so I'd appreciate the info

You can change your default messaging app by going to settings>more>default SMS app. Kitkat for the N4 comes with a water downed version of the previous messaging app. You can install a different one and set it as default as long as it has the proper permissions to run on Kitkat.

Uh... It's removed on stock Android.
You should be able to install the old one if you really don't like hangouts.

Would also like to know this.
You should be able to.. Grab the latest nightly ROM and extract the system/app/Mms.apk and copy it to your phones system/app and fix permissions. Make sure to replace it with the same name and remove the Mms.odex file as well..
Sent from my Nexus 4
So does it work?
What's the point in replacing a app in /system/app when it's going to not make you able to flash or update via ota? Just flash cm10.1 and make your life easier. You're already half way there with root.

This works great on my nexus 4. I did have to flash a stock deodex ROM though.

Does anyone know how to customize the text message pop-up so the only option that it lists is to "reply" (instead of also having "read" and "call")? I had the ability to do that on one of the roms I was on, but I can't remember which one. I'm on Liquid now and have been on PA and Slim lately and none of them have that option in the SMS settings, as far as I can tell.
Thanks in advance...

The ROM was probably AOKP. I'm sure you can pull the MMS apk from it and use it in another ROM of your choice.

Cool, thanks man
If not AOKP then definitely CyanogenMod as it was developed for that. It's called QuickReply so you can check there if not AOKP (which is a clone of CM right?)

Oh, okay cool. Can you tell me how to take the apk out of one rom and put it in another?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Either you extract it from the ZIP file and place it in the new one then flash or
adb pull /system/app/MMS.apk (from CM10.1 installed on your phone)
then
adb push /system/app/MMS.apk (to the phone you want it on)
Or a combination of both the above (ripping from the ZIP then pushing it with ADB). Not entirely sure it can work though as some stuff might be linked to the Framework.apk however.

Download either ROM and use root explorer to copy the apk from the ROM zip to your phone. Reboot and voila.

Im looking for the gn2 messaging style app for gs4.
I know they have it on freegs4 rom, but im running force.
itd be awesome to get that,
also, when are we going to get call recording, and flashlight toggle!!!
Pull the one you want from free rom, rename the force one with bak after .apk. push the free one and set permissions and reboot. Should work fine, make a nandroid before, just in case

Yeah, i found it earlier, for some reason i was looking for mms.apk not secmms.apk. but whatever.
the only thing im having trouble with right now is,
putting the SecMms.apk from freegs4 to my rom.
ive got the apk on my desktop, i know how to change permissions once in my /system,
but i cant get the .apk to copy over, what do i need to do for that?

There is an option to turn the flashlight on by long pressing the brightness icon.

according to other users, it doesn't work on force rom, or any rom for that matter.
as a matter of fact, the op says not to use with any rom, just for stock rooted.
but thanks for trying anyways!

Moto X Kit By DroidScoop.net
This kit is a compilation of .apk files and wallpapers that will make your device function similar to the features found on the Moto X. We do not own the rights to any of these .apk's or wallpapers
Whats included:
Active Notifications .apk
Moto X Camera .apk
Moto X Gallery .apk
Twisty Launcher .apk
Sun Beam Live Wallpaper .apk
Moto X Wallpapers
Your device does not need to be rooted to use the following kit, but running an AOSP ROM provides a more intuitive interface.
Keep in mind the Moto X Camera as well as the gallery will not work on all devices. Most of the newer Motorola devices are compatible as well as many of the Samsung Galaxy phones. If issues arise use titanium backup to freeze the stock camera .apk
Also...
Active Notifications and twisty launcher must be configured to work as desired.
Download found at this Dev Host URL: d-h.st/FD1
Do Not Flash From Recovery
To install unzip the file and manually download the .apk files
If you like our Kit visit our website at Droidscoop.net we're small but growing. Support us for more great content!!!
Is this meant to be flashed or unzipped an installed individually?

Unzipped and individually installed I apologize for not specifying that. The zip file I initially prepared was going to be an add on that could be flashed through a recovery, but I was getting too many errors and force closes. Also this allows for more devices to become compatible. Rooted or not.
I'm getting a parsing error trying to install the active notifications apk on my gs4. Im running a custom rom on 4.2.2
Edit: I'm pretty sure it's because active notifications only works on 4.3 phones. I remember this app came out not too long ago and you needed to have 4.3

I'm running illusion ROM 4.2.2 on a GS3 and I have yet to have an issue. I also have successfully used active notifications on a Nexus 4 on 4.3 as well as a HTC droid incredible on Gingerbread.
Try downloading the APK directly from the Play Store if the file is not working.
I think the apk in the zip file may be an older version of the active notifications app. I downloaded from the playstote when I learned it now works with 4.0+ and it works fine now. I just wanted some way to have active notifications

The kit is simply a pack of .apk files which should work fine with most devices. We have already tested these on our T-mobile Note II running an AOSP ROM. Please let me know if any issues arise as we will promptly configure a fix.

I got a parsing error for the apk download for Active Notifications. Does this require me to download the app from the Play Store? I did that before hand, but I deleted it and tried to install the apk and said parsing still.

Try downloading the .apk from the Playstore and let me know how that works; Also what type of device are you using and what OS version. I have gotten this to work on a couple of rooted devices on ICS and Gingerbread but I have noticed that many devices not running 4.0+ are running into problems.

We just flashed stock TW on our Note II and we're getting the same error. So the only fix I'm seeing for this device is to flash an AOSP based ROM

Yeah, I think I am not really willing to root my device at this time. Thanks for the help though. If you find a fix besides the AOSP ROM of my choice, let me know via private message. Thanks, but outside of the Active Notifications, I enjoyed the wallpapers. I hope the Motorola apps will work on all devices.

My apologies for the delay,
The twisty launcher .apk is the only working method to simulate the Moto X's Quick capture camera. I have yet to find a device that supports this native feature other than the Moto X itself.
Just like the thread stated. Or is there another apk that is is TW based that somewhat resembles ... I absolutely hate the stock tw phone dialer. Is it possible to install a AOSP phone apk on the note 3 tw rom? I have tried several different times with another roms apk's and it is always a fail.
What I ended up trying was taking the phone and contacts apk from eclipse rom and froze both of them in Ti backup and then installed them (fail). I also uninstalled both of them and installed the others (again fail). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Any reason why you don't want to just run eclipse rom?
