I JUST flashed back from stormdroid to velocity 1.2 and I made a message backup from messaging 2.2.2 from the stormdroid but when i restore it i cant replace to 2.2.1 with 2.2.2. how do I do this?
 
I don't think that can be done. I had the same problem trying to restore the data. Its built into the actual messaging app, and since you can't uninstall messaging, you can't reinstall the backup.
 
Sure you can. Just delete Mms.apk and then restore that one. There are several ways to do this.

Using Root Explore (or equivalent) navigate to /System/app and delete Mms.apk, then restore

Using ADB

adb shell
rm -r -f system/app/Mms.apk

I know you can do it using Titanium Backup somehow, but i haven't done that method.
 
is there a major difference between the 2.2.2 app and the 2.2.1 app cause im on 2.2.2 running the 2.2.1 and my messaging sucks with velcoity im either nvr get messages or cant send them.

What's adb shell? I have heard of it but never got a use of it. Is it using the cmnd proompt?? And instead of using adb can't I just use TIB??

Yes it is using the command prompt. I'm sure you could use TiBu, but i cant speak for that method, as i use adb. I find it to be quicker, once you know what you're doing.
 
can someone post the apk for the mms.apk from 2.2.2 in flashable format?? i have been having REAALLY ANNOOYING issues with not receiving or not sending texts at random. both my wife and I run velocity with the stock app from 2.2.1 and we both have the same problems. seriously need a fix. PLEASE!!!!
 
here is the 2.2.2 mms from the 2.2.2 stock nandroid image. i tried to do something with it but blew it. had to revert to a previous nandroid.. can someone correctly make a flashable zip? unlike me...
