To install this do i just push the .apk file? If so can i get the commands to do this?

 

[chadmd23]

adb push c:\Mms.apk /system/app


Just adjust your windows path of where the file is.

I pushed the file and everything(icon is in the drawer, i get FC on boot) , i rebooted the phone but the texts are still not going through.... any suggestions?

I did this: I renamed the mms.apk to TwMms.apk and pushed it to the /system/app folder on the phone, then restarted. Once you do this, you will have replaced the stock twiz mms app for the one in 1.6.

One thing is that you get a fc ever reboot, but its just once (at startup). It's been working great for me.

PS. Please backup the old TwMms.apk app.

How do i backup the old TwMms.apk? What are the commands to pull it? Sorry, i have never done a pull before and thanks for the help!

To fix the FC, you will need to a Factory Rest, as that is stale cache left from the twmms.apk... Should fix it anyways... if not, well... I tried haha

adb pull /system/app/TwMms.apk ( Folder Location on Computer )

 

[OjustintymeO]

Hmm, i get a FC on the process(already reboot + factory reset) and it doesn't let me send texts still... but im willing to stick with stock but if there is a solution =D! If not thanks, loving the ROMs!

This issue is Known about even with Galaxy 1.6 regarding Mms.apk switching..
It's not my Place to say it wont work due to people getting into modding rom's & Making things work...

adb pull /system/app/TwMms.apk ( Folder Location on Computer )

at the risk of sounding like complete jackass, do i actually put the parentheses into the command line? either way, i do not think it is working on my phone. i tried using (AND NOT using) the parentheses and got a "Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25" and some kind of command menu/explanation script. However, when i do not attempt to specify a ( folder location on computer ), it shows me a long list of files that tells me " 163 files pulled. 0 files skipped"

plz help. i want to get rid of the stock mms and install a diff't one. (like this one from bluey's post)

4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download Mms.apk

I renamed the Mms.apk to TwMms.apk and pushed it and it will so a soft fc on boot but thats it. mms and sms both work.

You would want to type: adb pull /system/app/TwMms.apk c:\Phone Backup Files\TwMms.apk

That would put the file in a folder called "phone backup files" on your c drive.

*** DO THIS FOR BETTER BATTERY LIFE ***

BH_MAN has told us to do this probably over a hundred times regarding his roms. The secret to great battery life is very simple, but apparently it gets buried in these threads.

Simply let your phone die after installing the rom. Personally, I use the crap out of it (Pandora, GPS on, YouTube, etc...) during the day so that I can get it to die before the night.

Then, with the phone remained off, charge it over night. Turn it on the following morning, and voila, amazing battery life.

This works for me every time. It's a matter of calibrating your battery, and this is how you do it.

yeah lot of people tends to miss this but quick question i just removed the twmms.apk but my quick question is how do i install the Mms.apk? i forgot how to for some strange reason i used to be able to do it right away but i forgot... i forgot the command i'm currently adb in right now but i completely forgot..

Did you rename the Mms.apk to TwMms.apk before pushing correct? If not...

adb shell
cd /system/app
rm -r Mms.apk
exit

Now take the Mms.apk & rename to TwMms.apk, then
adb push (Location of the Newly renamed TwMms.apk ) /system/app

adb shell
wipe data
reboot

I can't install the mms.apk on to my device. I tried both using appinstaller from the market and using the command prompt. Advice?

BH_MAN just told me today but after u removed the Touchwiz message from the phone you have to change the new Mms.apk to TwMms.apk and push it through adb

after u remove don't adb shell in just put this in

adb push c:\ where ever the TwMms.apk is located /system/app

i saved the TwMms.apk to the c: and here's how i did it

cd androidsdk\tools
adb push c:\ TwMms.apk /system/app

PS: if u don't understand what i'm trying to tell u (i'm not sure if i made it clear) so if u want go page 6 of this post BH_MAN explained it in more detail

I renamed the file and now I'm having trouble pushing the file or using appinstaller to install the renamed apk. I'm going to keep trying.
