I really really hate the mms app that comes with the Droid Incredible. It's slow, and clunky. I really don't even know how they allowed it to come with the phone. I wanted to uninstall it but was told it may interfere with the HTC stuff. Well.... I uninstalled the default mms.apk and installed the Vanilla mms.apk which is SOOOOOO much better then what HTC gives us. It's so smooth :) and I have the nice little green messaging icon :) I haven't had any issues so far.

SMS sent/received - TESTED

MMS sent/received - TESTED

Remember, what you do is at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything.

Be sure you make a nandroid backup, of course and root is required.

To mount \system folder:

1. Reboot into recovery mode (Power device down then hold power button + volume - or optical key instead of vol -)

2. choose partitions

3. choose mount \system

Navigate to C:\sdk\Tools in a windows command prompt

adb shell /system/bin/rm /system/app/Mms.apk <<<<<<<<<<<< File name must match file.

Remount system when complete and reboot.

Attached file is the Vanilla mms.apk, install it when you reboot your phone.

All text messages should be saved, FB integration is still there.

Side note, with the stock mms.apk removed you can use just Handcent for SMS, but MMS won't work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NickkxNekro:
I'm up for trying this. Hate the one that comes with sense, always locks up because I have a lot of people I stay in contact with, and deleting them makes my phone freeze :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
gonna try this soon!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NickkxNekro:
Just mounted my system and tried typing out the command, says directory doesn't exist? but the system wasn't showing up as accessible via My computer (was there, but when i clicked it, asked me to insert disk(x:/) ). Odd, I just opened my system to put in some new audio sounds about 10 min ago and it worked fine.

Edit: Needed to capitalize the M in Mms.apk, forgot it was case sensitive ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Is USB debugging enabled?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NickkxNekro:
That shouldn't matter if I'm in recovery. I fixed the issue, like i said, needed to capitalize the M in Mms.apk. Might want to note that in the OP haha.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Sorry! lol yeah, I should note that.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] KB Smoka:
Any way to get screen shots of this? I dont like the default MMS/SMS app either but I'd like to see the Vanilla one before I do this.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NickkxNekro:
You sure it's sending messages? mine have a little message box with the timer on them. I've got service, and i can't "resend" the message, so idk if it's working or not.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
It should send, it's been doing it for me all morning.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
send yourself a message.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] santana11981:
this is great i really hate sense and anytime i can get rid of it im up for it.....question anyway of getting android stock dialer??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
Is un-doing this as simple as deleting the "native" Mms.apk, and installing the "Sense" Mms.apk, via the original instructions?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
if you have a backup of the sense mms id imagine just installing it would fix it?

if you did a nandroid before this you could always just go back to that.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] palomosan:
Will this commands work for removing other apps like friend stream, city ID and other garbage on the phone.

Thank you, that makes it so easy.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWhiteBandito:
Quick question. You said "Side note, with the stock mms.apk removed you can use just Handcent for SMS, but MMS won't work." Does MMS work in the Vanilla messaging app though? I realize it says "MMS sent/received - TESTED" but it doesn't say that it works, just that it has been tested.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
I meant it works, I guess that's why I put tested.

And yes, MMS/SMS in vanilla works.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
definitely nicer, but settings problem

thanks, gave it a shot. I agree, the interface is much nicer.

However-- settings don't stick after a reboot (e.g., notification settings, retrieve while roaming)

Can this be fixed? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
it is impossible.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Hmm I know I get notifications without an issue.

I went into the settings and checked 'roaming auto-retrieve' rebooted and the settings were still checked....?

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
hmmm does anyone know why mine aren't sticking? I am running the stock 2.1 version, rooted.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
The only think I can think of was prior to installing this I had handcent sms installed? But I removed that after I installed the vanilla one.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
I tried Handcent at one point too. I really prefer the stock Android MMS over Sense, so I'm hoping I can get this fixed.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Unfortunately, this force closes for me constantly. I've tried other Mms.apks as well, that I compiled for the Moto Droid and should work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
The f/c happened to me too when I tried installing via adb push (vs "on" install via Astro). Tried that when I was troubleshooting my settings problem I mentioned earlier.

I would welcome a replacement for Sense SMS but handcent/chomp aren't what I want. I know I'm being picky.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
I do get some force closes but only a couple a day if that. I can deal with it. Lol

I like the handcent, but maybe if the UI looked a bit more like vanilla. I'd rather have the few FCs I get and have the entire application run nice and smooth then to have a sluggish sense app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
I can't deal with it, because it never opens LOL...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
stock mms is fc-ing? froyo mms wont fc on 2.1.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Is there an echo?

Yes :)

ds28's method worked however. I then copied it over from /data/app to /system/app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Here is an installer zip I made.

Its not the same mms.apk, but one thats ~ half the size that I compiled a few months ago for a Moto Droid rom. It will delete the htc mms.apk for you as well. It retains the stock htc messaging icon.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trombone dixie:
What are the commands i type in to remount and reboot?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trombone dixie:
Anyway to get this without being rooted?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
You can try to copy the app to the SD card. If you do that then open it and it will tell you you can uninstall mms.apk. you can try and see if that works?

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trombone dixie:
:( bummertown! it wouldn't let me delete the stock Mms.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Why not use the zip file I posted?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trombone dixie:
Do I need to be rooted? If not how do i do it? Unzip file and do what from there?

Mytouch 3G Slide

Ok crazy question. I know how to push and pull stuff with adb with the method of rooting I had to do.I know we have different hardware (hopefully wont matter), we even have a different version of HTC Sense, but I also hate our sms app. Do you guys think this will work on a Mytouch 3g slide? Thanks for the help.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
maybe, since vanilla is vanilla either way.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
Cool I will give it a shot then and post later on today or tomorrow if I am successful.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Jazonk:
Problem

I followed the directions as listed, and it seems that the commands worked, but now when I download the apk onto my phone, and attempt to install it, it pops up with an error telling me "No application can be found to open this file." Any ideas on what's going wrong?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Jazonk:
Nevermind. I moved the apk to the sd card and opened it with astro and everything worked fine. Thanks for the great guide! I have hated that messaging app from day 1.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Worked great for me. It's nice not having to wait for my phone to process my 1000+ message threads.

However, I do miss the bubble over the icon telling me how many messages I have. But, I'll live I suppose :P

EDIT: It also doesn't remember settings for me. For example: If I use advance task killer to close it, the next time I open it it asks me all over again if I'd like to set limits and my settings have all reverted back to default.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Yeah, that's the only downside, but the smoothness makes me not look back ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ds28:
So I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. Do any advanced users know why the settings aren't sticking? Is it a permissions issue?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
MyTouch Slide fail

well guys followed the instructions and removed old mms.apk, I made sure by adb shelling into the device and making sure it was gone. After that I left the phone connected downloaded the new mms.apk, put it on the SD card, installed it. It installed successfully, but I hit open and force closed on me. If I send a text from chompsms from myself and the text shows up in the status bar. I can open messages from there and send a text but I cant go back to all the treads :( I know my phone isn't an Incredible but any help would be great. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
mytouch slide, correct?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
You are correct.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
look at either htcclay or eugene's cm6 and take the mms app from there amd follow thes.e directions
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
Ok ill try that later I'm eating dinner. I will let u know thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Anyone have the stock mms.apk available? I wan't to push it back, but I (stupidly) didn't make a backup. Thanks ahead of time. :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
If you want stock back just flash your Rom without wiping anything. It will but all your stock stuff back on there for you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] IceBone:
Would this work on a Desire without root? :/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
It might work on the desire but root is a requirement otherwise u get permission denied.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AndyStubbs:
I hate to sound dumb but how do you install using the zip file? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] IceBone:
First you unzip the archive on your computer, then you transfer the .apk to your phone and run it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] canibus6:
can you install by using astro? putting the file on SD, and installing .apk thru ASTRO?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Huckster:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
I'm relatively new to the scene, but loving my Nexus One. Unfortunately, there's one thing that I am having trouble finding - a music player app that lets me browse by genre tags.

I use MediaMonkey to organize my music collection and sync it over to my N1 - this works awesome. However, when I listen to my music, I listen like you would an FM radio, i.e. 'I'm in the mood for Country music', rather than a specific artist or album. Annoyingly, I have yet to find a music player that lets me do this.

Has anyone found one? I know the HTC Sense UI music player lets you browse by genre, but I really don't feel like junking up my N1 just to get this small feature.

[Droid Incredible General] samwathegreat:
See my post in the development forum. You need a modified kernel for it to work in ap mode + WPA2. Otherwise, it still works in ad-hoc mode with WEP.

If you are running a cm6 or skyraider rom, you already have a kernel capable of ap mode.

If you're running a stock rom (like me) you will need to use my modified kernel for ap mode and WPA2 to work.

Hey,

Working from rc1 of cm6, it seems when any app that uses location data such as the weather in fancy widget or anything like that reports the zip code being 4. Just 4, not even a full zip code. Maps however finds my location without a problem.

Anyone know why this might happen? Fresh install.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Not sure about the other apps but the news & weather widget that comes with the phone decides its topic based on ur phones language & keyboard settings.

So if its set to UK, you will see UK news and if set to US, then, well, US news :-)

If you reside elsewhere, one workaround is to download MoreLocale 2 from the market. It changes the language & keyboard settings to what you want, thereby getting the news widget to display the correct news of your location.

I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery.

As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM

I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
