For future reference when you are playing with MMS.apks you can open root explorer system/app find MMS.apk and rename it to MMS.apk.bak. if the modded MMS you are using is giving you issues u simply go back into system/app and delete the modded MMS.apk and edit you saved MMS.apk.bak to MMS.apk. it will restore it.

Does anyone here know of an apk/zip like this for the phone/dialer? I'm looking to gain the advanced features CM & SlimBean use (vibrate on answer, noise suppression).. I didn't find much in my brief searching. Let me know if you know of what I seek.

How can i add this without changing my mms.apk?

coming from PA 3.99rc2 Sabermod
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dchriste90:
I would move your mms.apk to mms.apk.old. This way you can always move it back.

I tried installing this on a GPE GS4 and it's able to send, but when I receive a text it doesn't make any type of sound, nor do I get a notification alert. Maybe it's because it's not a Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ac009:
I want to flash this on my PA 3.99, which zip do I use?

Also Is there a way to revert back to what I had before if I don't like this emoji mms apk?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi i just want to b report that it's not recognizing my numbers im from the Philippines. So if the number saved on the contacts is 09166666666 then the other person replies it will show +639166666666 and it will not show the persons name just the number with d country code
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] art3mis-nyc:
wonder if it's just me but for some reason with the last 4.3 version of the mms.apk i can send emoji's but i cant receive them from iphone people.

wodnering if its because of an ios update r if i've just forgotten something.

Tried installing on 4.4, no go, just FC's.I have been using the custom SMS for as long as I can remember. Lowrider can you do a custom package like that for the new hangouts?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] djd338:
+2 and same here. I don't think I could ever run the stock apk! Just got a Galaxy Note, installed 4.3 AOKP, Flashed the custommms zip & its running great. 4.4 is coming up any day for my device too.

4.4 Support

The issue seems to be with the new folder structuring in Kitkat.

Earlier the MMS.apk app was placed in the System/App folder, whereas now there's a folder called System/Priv-app which has Read only access.

Hope this custom MMS app will be updated soon enough to use on 4.4!

I tried a bunch of stuff. I'm no dev but did some research and someone needs to decompile the all, add some stuff to the .XML and recompile it. The api for message apps changed a lot and SMS apps need more permissions and it has to run as a privileged app. Might have more time on the weekend but working lots all this week. Don't have time to learn how to do all this myself.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
I just learned how to use apk tool properly. I decompiled a MMS app from 4.2.2 ,tweaked it a little and then added the android manifest and meta info folder from the original 4.4 MMS apk,but it wouldn't allow me to send or to change the settings from inside the app itself. I'd be willing to help out if you wanna try to make this a project. I'm a teacher out here in France,so the scheduling would be kind of odd for me, but I'm def eager to learn and to get this ported over !!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
Did you put it in a flash able zip? If so the o e this comes with in no good.

Take a look at this and see if you can see any differences. Maybe if you can see what he did then that could help us out.

I have to hit the sack now but I'll get back to you tomorrow on this topic ands I'll send you the file I was messing with. Quick question:you on stock or custom ROM? OK..see ya tomorrow

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Okay!

Hey,send me a pm and add me as a friend so I can remember to look at this stuff. I wanna get this mms app going asap!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Here ya guys go

There were some fdifferences in xmls between this Mms app and the stock 4.4 . Im not sure where the problem is coming from,as I had no issues compiling and ddecompiling the app!! Just rename the app to Mms.apk and manually place/push to system priv-apps. Lemme know what you guys find!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
OK, so I managed to get thus installed and working. I was able to select it as my default message app and it sends and receives messages. When I try to customize it if force closes.

I was able to install the old one aswell and actually get it to work (kind of). I cant select it as my default app, but after deleting every other SMS app it would send and receive messages, but it shows me sending two messages. The recipient only gets one of these. I am able to customize it.

I know this isn't a whole lot of help, my only guess is you screwed something up while editing the .XML. or something went wrong when re compiling. Sorry I can't be of much help, but I am pretty list when it comes to this stuff. Maybe try again. I don't know if you just want this one working or if you are set on getting this done yourself(for pride). Bit I am gonna spread this around the forums a bit more and see if I can't find someone with a little more knowledge than us to help. Thanks for the hard work already and don't give up. We will get this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Kick ass! Can you post the version you got to work? Are you running 4.4?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
I got the. CustomMms.zip from the op working. But it shows every message I send twice. The recipient only gets one but it is highly annoying on my end. And on 4.4 on the n5 I have to pick my default SMS app and it WO t show as an option.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
4.4 is really a pain to work with :-/ there's another thread where were trying to pull together and get these issues fixed /resolved /etc... I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do .
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:

How did you get it to work?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
With root explorer pushed in to system/pivapp, changed permissions to rw-r-r, clicked on it and selected install.

Like I said in the other thread with slim and privacy guard I manually gave it permission to write text.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Cool

I wish there were a 4.4 slim build for my i9300!! I tried a few more things from ediitng the xmls to even changing the manifest,but its just not working for me! Is privacy gaurd a slim only thing,or is it an app available in the playstore?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
There is an xposed module too. Don't think you can get anything like it on the play store. It is normally baked into some Roms. I think cm has it too. Carbon uses it. Not much for 4.4 though.

Whats your phone model? carrier? Worse case scenario,grab 8sms from play store,or you can use this aosp sms

Just download a cm10.2 rom and extract the Mms.ap from it. You shouldnt have any trouble with it:)

Ive tried going through the xmls on both a stock 4.4 mms.apk and the one mentioned,and the only thing I can see is that is different is in the preference xml(from stock 4.4 mms) under C:\apktool\Mms\res\xml\preferences ,is the

Guys, being a little bored this Sunday, I decided to port custommmsmod to 4.4 KitKat. I have not changed anything with it, other than getting it to install and send/receive sms/mms on KitKat successfully. It is sending and receiving both sms and mms fine for me, without duplicating. The theming part will need to be tested yet. I am leaving this to others. Please report back here what success you have with this. Installation instructions are as follows: Rename/remove your current Mms.apk from system/priv-app, push this apk to system/priv-app, set permisssions for the apk, boot into recovery, fix permissions, wipe the dalvik cache, reboot to system, check to make sure that this messaging app, not Hangouts, is set as default in the main system settings menu, and re-add shortcut to your homepage if needed.

*Edit*, confirmed working myself- remove/add avatar, add/remove bubbles, add/remove contact names, change message panel color (choosing custom image does not work), change font size and color.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Awesome! Did you system push or just flash the zip?

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Which apk do we use? There are two, one in the sys-priv,the other in sys-app?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fruity101079:
I tried, it doesn't change anything, this is the same as stock mms (well ths icon is blue, not green)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Mms

What did you try,the custommodmms? Are you on a 4.4 rom? And if so,how did you install?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Extract the one from priv-app and push. That is the one you want. I wasn't aware of the other one in app. I will put up a fixed zip in a bit.

*Edit*- can't seem to get a workable zip, so zip is removed and replaced with the apk for manual pushing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fruity101079:
Yes, on 4.4, I picked the priv-app apk, and pasted it in system/priv-app, made permissions as it should be. (the old files were renamed).

Same thing with the other apk in app folder.

Renamed the odex file into mms.odex.back.

And restarted.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
There should be no mms apks in system/app. I have updated the zip in my post. Rename or remove any mms apks and mms odex files in system/priv-app Take the one in that zip from system/priv-app and push to system/priv-app on your phone and set permissions. Boot into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache. It is also not a bad idea to fix permissions while you are there in recovery. Lastly, boot to system from recovery.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
I downloaded and flashed the previous zip you posted that included the 2 MMS apks..it installed but I didn't have any customizable options

Then I deleted those and flashed the update with the 1 MMS apk..the file is in priv-app but it did not install..there is no icon
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
At this point I would recommend doing a manual push of the file. Are you using an odexed rom or deodexed? It is working fine for me on deodex after a manual push to priv-app following the instructions above. I will test the zip.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
Stock rooted.. Odex

Fyi..im on the Nexus 5 so right now there is no other MMS apk anywhere else..just the MMS.apk that was flashed in the priv-app folder
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] viniu:
Same here... flashed 4.4custommmsmod.zip and pushed mms.apk...file is in priv-app but that's all...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
I tested the zip and it does not flash properly, so I am going to pull it and just post the apk for a manual push. After the failed flash, I was able to do a manual push, reboot, and it is working fine. It is possible that it may not work for odexed, but that would be odd. If you are using odexed, make sure you have removed or renamed the odex file and do a manual push. Also, you may need to redo the shortcut on your homepage and check the make sure that the messaging app, not Hangouts, is set as default in main settings menu. If anyone thinks they can build a working flashable zip, have at it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
Tried manually pushing..apk is in priv-app but no icon ...there was no MMS odex file in priv app
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Did you set permission for the apk, rw-r-r? If after doing this, refreshing the folder, and it doesn't change to the proper icon, the best I can assume is it doesn't work on odex. Is it adding a shortcut to the app drawer? Another question, are you using art or dalvik? Sorry man, I don't have a N5 to test on and am not using odexed to test on. All I did was change the intents in the AndroidManifest.xml to get it to run on my N4. I am stock rooted deodexed using dalvik.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
Permissions were set..what I meant is there is no icon in the app drawer...the icon in root explorer shows the MMS icon correctly..using dalvik

Guess it doesn't work for the N5

Thanks for your help and for editing it in the first place for others
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
sorry, I'm now a bit confused :cyclops:

Is it correct that your modified customizable mms.apk for kitkat will work on deodexed (only .jar-files) systems (i.e. Temasek's cm11-based rom) ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Well I know the N4 comes preconfigured with a messaging app already, while the N5 doesn't, but I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done differently or in addition to make it work on the N5. When I get a chance, I will look into it. First we need to know if it is an odex issue or not, so I'm hoping someone will report that they got it working on the N4 running stock odexed.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
It was reported that the original apk posted in this thread works on stock odexed...for 4.3 though

Let me know if you work on it..I will be happy to test it for you
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Security levels are raised in 4.4, hence the Mms being located in priv-app now. I just need confirmation that this is not the issue from someone using the N4. This being a 4.2.2 apk, I'm really surprised that it is working on 4.4 as it is.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

At this point I only know it will work on stock 4.4 deodexed. I'm not sure about custom roms. Considering it is a 4.2.2 apk, it will most likely be hit and miss with custom roms. All I did was add the intents in the manifest to give it proper send and receive permissions on 4.4.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
just tried with Temaseks latest V14 (replaced mms.apk in the rom.zip with yours from above), flashed the rom while wipe cache, dalvik,+ system before and after flashing (no data wipe) and .... it WORKS (sending, receiving + deleting sms). Perfect !
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Thanks for reporting. Are the customization settings working for you?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
yes, fantastic.

a small 'but': if you change a specific color you get a fc when pressing button 'set' - but tapping on the color itself right into the second/preview field (after choosing the desired one from the above pattern the preview field will show this color) will do - imho I can live with it because despite of that all other things work fine.

A BIG Thanks for supporting this customization.

EDIT: ah, btw, phone is an i9300
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
what file did you use? What was your installation method?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
I used the MMS.apk posted on the last page. Simply deleted the existing MMS.apk pushed to system/priv-app, changed permissions to rw-r-r. Clicked on it to install. Accepted terms and profited.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
did everything you posted (except delete existing MMS.apk - nexus 5 doesnt have a stock mms app) and it worked!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Hah!! I forgot to mention that I signed the apk, meaning normal installation is possible. I'm just surprised that it works for an apk that belongs in the system/priv-app folder. At least we got a workable installation method for the N5 on stock rooted. The normal method typically installs as a user app. Would you two check your data/app folder to see if you have the messaging app located there?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
No MMS.apk in system/app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:

I took the liberty of making a flashable zip for the app. Don't know if it works on mako but someone can test.

https://app.box.com/s/tqbi9dsl8uju7757m66b
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
another question: is it possible to add an option to backup/restore the customization settings (colors, font size, etc.) ? respectively where can I find them to backup in a safe place ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
You are not likely to see this unless someone picks up development with it. It is currently not under development. It just keeps getting pushed to work with the latest operating system. I would think that if you use Titanium Backup, it should store and restore your settings as part of the data backup for the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
Yes titanium backup works perfectly for this.
