[Q] Possible to install AOSP Messaging app on TouchWiz ROM? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hi all,
After trying out CM10.1, I've found it to be a little too unstable at this early stage and have flashed back to Wanamlite. I can live with TouchWiz for now, but the one app on TouchWiz I really can't stand is the Messaging/SMS app.
Is it possible to flash an AOSP/vanilla version of the Android messaging app onto my phone?
Would it need to replace the TouchWiz one, or would it work side-by-side with it?
Where could I get an up to date AOSP SMS app?
Any help would be great!

Thanks mate I saw that - but seems to have a few bugs at present. Was wondering if it was possible to get the app another way.

Its possible. It replaces the tw version. There is one in themes/apps section for the sprint s3. You have to push the file to system/app. Rename it and set perm.

Works a treat. A little bit different to the steps they advised though; putting mms.apk in the system/app folder with the correct permissions wouldn't work - I could put it in there, but the application wouldn't actually load when rebooted.
I then tried installing it as an APK, but no go; Android said there was another system app installed. So I moved secmms up one level, rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and now it's fine.

Hi All,
Try this version. I took this from the S3 AOSP Codec ROM which is version 4.0.4~ish. Works great on my S3 (GT-I9300) with XXELL4 ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
It has:
- Dark theme (4.2 theme I think)
- Emoticons
- emojis

it needs to be a system app so copy it over to /system/app and set ownership and permission as root:root 644/rw-r-r

Thank you winuxguy, I've copied the app, but I don't really understand the root:root 644/rw-r-r...
Can you explain this a little bit more please?

[APP] Galaxy Tab Email.apk Gingerbread [DOWNLOAD]

Hi guys,
I was searching for this for a while and finally managed to find it.
This is the deodexed Email.apk from the Galaxy Tab Gingerbread ROM.
I just tried it on JVQ and it works. It should also work on the Galaxy S 2.3.3 ROMs.
To install it you should delete the Email.* from /system/app, then copy this Email.apk over to that location. I prefer to do this from CWM recovery.
After you replace the Galaxy S Email.* with this one, you probably need to Clear Data from the Email app if you were previously using it.
EDIT: Looks like REPLY, FORWARD or COMPOSE will cause the App to FC on stock JVQ rom.
Hardcore. It works on standard jvq.
Tnx

Hi Hardcore,
thanks for this! I'm currently using the froyo version of the app (with camera hotfix) on JVP and it works like a charm.
Do you know if the Gingerbread version adds new functionality or any other improvements in comparison to the Froyo version?

I don't know, but this version just works (so far) as a drop-in replacement for the stock email app. It's pretty fast and smooth too.
I this different from the one that Nitrality app installs - Nitrality might be the easier way to do it?
Does this have the bug where the bottom items get cut off?
Could anyone make an odexed version? Deodexed JVQ breaks browser, that's why I'm on odexed ROM... Thanks.
I'm using it with odexed JVQ.
But I just found that it will FC when replying or forwarding messages. Oh well... time to look for another version.

You can change it from the emoticons key to enter key, also this isn't a flashable zip, not sure how to do one, but to install this:
1. Delete mms.apk in /system/apps
2. copy and paste new mms.apk in /system/apps
3. Set permissions
4. Reboot
Works great! Thanks!
Worked really well. Thank you!
Also for those wondering you have you enable quick emoji in the settings.

This is the only feature I was missing from aosp rom. Pop up on sms is a must. Quick question tho.
Your file is 2.7 and from aokp (cm10.1 for nexus 4) the file size is 3.1. Smaller size than aokp but somehow it lags when i open up the messages from a person. why is that?

I am not sure about the lag but the reason the file is older is because it was pulled from somebody else on this forum, they had one with facebook EMOJI and one with stock emoji. This is the stock one and in cm10 you don't have a quick emoji button option which I like but in AOKP the popup is ugly imo. Thats why the app is older.

possible to make a single .apk out of this?
So the problem is that I lost root after the 4.3 update and I'm waiting for the root to pop up on the forum. But in the mean time wouldn't it be better to just make a .apk so that we all can install it like a regular app. Kinda like an update apk of the mms. What I mean is that you know how Google maps are preinstalled in the system and when an update comes up on play store, it just disables the built in maps and uses the newer maps when we open maps. That new maps apk sits outside the ROM and can be removed or installed anytime without needing root and at the same time adds new features.

Regular app (/data/app) requires its own signature and the way of the update as you say needs the congruence of the signatures.
