CM10 quickreply sms app on stock 4.2.1?

Hi there, tried searching but couldnt find anything related to the N4. Is it possible to install just the CM10 sms app (with quick reply etc) on my N4? Im fully stock 4.2.1, rooted etc. but miss the quick reply of CM10.

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..

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.

I need help?

I just flashed my N10 with Custom ROM CM10.1 but I realized I don't like it that much.
My N10 is rooted, and I do not know how to roll back to the stock rom because I forget to do a full backup. Please help, im running on 4.2.2
Thank you! I just want to roll back

Google search for factory image for Nexus 10. Or install a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM from the development section, or try out other ROMs and see if you like them better.
I dont really understand though how you dont like CM10.1, it is the same as stock but with a couple more features and bugfixes. What could you possibly not like about it?
Just check out the sticky threads on the nexus 10 general forum. They have a thread with stock roms.
However my suggestion would be to try out more custom roms. They too are available on a sticky thread. Specially the vanilla rootbox one which is working great for me.

Try using carbon ROM and Trinity kernel I have that set up on my N10 and my N4 and both devices smoke man they are fast as hell....try rasbean too all of this is in the nexus 10 original development section ......if your looking for close to stock as possible try mmuzzy ROM its stock with performance enhancements ....don't fret man that's the best part flashing different ROMs and kernels to suit you best man :cyclops:
I suggest using AOKP Pub with the Trinity Kernel. Awesome combination, super smooth, good battery life and nice performance - plus a ton of options for customization

Take a deep breath man. When I saw this thread I thought you dropped it in the toilet or something. LOL Not a big deal, it is easy to go back. If your head is spinning because of all the different options available in CM play around with it for a few days, it will grow on you.
Take it easy buddy. There is a tons of stuff that you could do with your rooted nexus.

He just wants to go back to stock. I don't think he wants to unroot.
Or at the very least he does not know that you can be rooted and on stock.

Well, the reason I do not like about the CM10.1 and most custom ROMs is that it doesnt support google play store and also it lacks the google pinyin(input method)which comes default on the nexus 10 and the google pinyin i download on the official site is way different than the default built-in one.

Nobody would use custom ROMs if they couldn't use the play store also you can pull the pinyin apk and install it to any custom rom

Well the reason Id want to flash back to my stock rom was because when I tried flashing gapps I cant get into rcovery mode i kept getting a dead android with exclaimation mark.

Then you have a corrupt download or something weird. Most ROM's need to flash a gapps package after the ROM gets flashed so you have the official Google apps like the play store. There are one or two ROMs with these apps built in but the "proper" way is to separate the apps into the different installs. Though if you use a ROM with an Aroma installer, I have always seen gapps get flashed as a part of that. Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB is a good example of that.
Also in regards to pinyin you would have to flash to stock/rooted use something like es file explorer goto /system/apps copy the pinyin apk to your normal storage(virtual sdcard) then you can flash whatever you want and copy that apk back to /system/app set permissions to read write read read and maybe reboot. You should then have the one you want working.

[Q] Questions of a noob :)

Hey guys. As the title says i recently joined the android world through my nexus 4 and yesterday i rooted my phone for the first time using the nexus toolkit. So as i would like to ask some things that may sound foolish, but make me curious, im not gonna delay any longer and just go on. While rooted on stock rom i could see into my apps the SuperSu and busybox free apps.Now that i flashed rasbeanjelly they are gone.Do i need both? If yes should i download from google play or install from sdcard (there is a folder named "!Readytoflash containing these zips plus a "perm-recovery-signed" zip which i also dont know if its needed.) Also as i said now that i flashed my new rom i combined it with matr1x kernelv8.5. Any way to see its settings or edit them through a control app(havent found one yet). I maintly want to see how pgm fuctions work, like sleep2wake but cant see how to activate them etc. Last but not least before i go on custom rom from stock i made a backup thhrough Nexus toolkit and titanium backup.Does it matter where i choose to restore apps from and can i do that even if the restore was from different rom( will manually drag and drop photos on phone hope it works too). Thanks in advance for the help.

[Q] Custom ROM lacking AOSP features/functionality

Hi all,
I just rooted to Carbon ROM and am able to scroll around and open applications etc, but my Home button isn't working, keyboard isn't available, gapps are missing etc. I loaded on the latest gapps (gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) through CWR but I guess these issues are pointing to the fact it hasn't worked? I might be wrong on this, so please correct me.
My phone has 4.3 android and loaded with SuperSU v 1.65.
Please help?
Thank you

It's a Nexus 4. I figure out the issue. It was basically an incorrect gapps file, so none of the basic phone features were working. Thanks though.
