MMS Pictures

[Guest Broc]

I've installed that mms.apk to the sd card but it won't install. I can't even copy and paste it to system/app as it's read only. I can't delete the existing com.android.mms for the same reason.

I have just learned what this adb thing is and have installed it into program files etc and the command prompt is recognising it but it's not letting me get through those four lines:

Any help on this?

Can it be done without using adb?

Are you running the command prompt from the directory you have Mms.apk in? If not, copy it to that directory, and it should work.

The other way, is to

1. Copy it onto your SD card

2. Search the market for "mount system" which is an app which allows you to make /system writeable. Open it, and select "mount /system r/w".

3a. Use a file manager (I use Astro) to copy Mms.apk from your SD card, into /system/app

OR

3b. Download terminal emulator from the marketplace, and type

su

mv /system/Mms.apk /system/Mms.apk.bak

cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app

What you're doing above is firstly, getting superuser permissions in the terminal. Then, renaming Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak (just to be sure!). Finally copying the file from your sdcard into /system.

4. Open Mount /system and select "mount /system r/0".

Thank you i'll give it a bash once i'm rooted. Just couldn't be bothered with adb

I've tried it that way and can get it into system/app but it won't install.

I've put the orange sim back in and can't receive message with that either.

Broc are you rooted?

And i thought you just need to replace the other one...not install it?

[Guest Broc]

I am rooted, yeah, I don't know if it's supposed to be installed once it's in the app folder but it is there (and won't install) and my MMS doesn't work. :/
