Lost default app

[Ry Morris]

I rooted my samsung galaxy Avant and I accidentally uninstalled the default SMS app that came with the phone. how do I reinstall that exact same app?
The only solution I can think of would be to Bluetooth share from another samsung galaxy Avant. Is there a site where I can go and download and reinstall the exact default app that came with the phone?

Welcome to the forums. You can try the bluetooth thing. It should work. Otherwise you would probably have to reflash the ROM and reroot the device.

If you can't find the app and I just checked the Samsung Store and didn't see it, then you will need to flash the official ROM.

Oh that is what I get for leaving a post open for a long time before answering. Someone else answers in the meantime lol

Look for an app named Messaging. Use a backup app to back Messaging up to an apk file. (App Backup & Restore will do it.) Copy the apk file to the phone without the messaging app. Find the apk file in My Files (in whatever folder you put it in - use All on the first screen so you can get to everything). When you find the apk file, tap it. Either it'll install or you'll be given the choice of what to run it in. Run it in the installer. Then, if you want an icon for it on your homescreen, you'll have to drag it from the app drawer.
