[Patch]2.2.2 email and mms + new market for 2.2/Froyo roms

2.2.2 Email and MMS plus new Market

This is a patch to update 2.2.1 email and mms to the 2.2.2 versions and add the new Market to all Froyo roms.
MMS has better compatibility (I got messages form places I couldn't before) and inline pics as opposed to some where you used to have to download to see them. Supposedly email and MMS have bug fixes for incorrect addressing as well. The new Market adds new options, but the layout is radically different.

Once I sort the radio and have it in Harmonia, I will back port that as well.
Also, below is the Maps patch from Harmonia, this will work on other roms as well. Saving you 10+ megs of storage.

Info

Warnings!!! It will only add the new market to 2.2.2 users. DO NOT USE IT ON CM7/GINGERBREAD ROMS, you have been warned. This is a generic version of the 1.3.1 patch for Harmonia. It doesn't contain the number update or branding. Download: Uninstall any Market updates before installing this. To install, go into recovery and flash it, same as you flash a rom. Optimus_2.2.2_goodies_patch.zip

Maps patch:
I try and keep these somewhat current. By flashing this instead of updating, you save about 10megs of app storage on your phone. This works on all roms. This replaces the old version in your phone, instead of taking up space with an update.

Info

Download: Be sure to uninstall any Maps updates before you flash. To install, go into recovery and flash it, same as you flash a rom. Maps - V5.7 July2011

what does the maps patch fix?

 

[LeslieAnn]

It fixes nothing.
It installs the latest maps version into the system directory, overwriting the old outdated one on the phone. This eliminates the 10meg update sitting in your apps folder, giving you more room. This practice started back with Aphrodite and made a big difference in app storage space.


I changed it on the first post to make it more clear.

Flashed both, works well. Also, when I flashed the goodies, I got 4 mms messages that I apparently shouldve received hours ago according to the ppl who sent them.

Thanks.

 

[israelsalinas14]

Thanks. Works great on bumblebee 2.4.

Excellent, thank you. I accidentally deleted my Market and have been scrambling to get it back. Flashed the zip and now all is well, plus the new market!

Awesome

This is designed to update portions of 2.2.1 to 2.2.2

This is a generic version of the 1.3.1 patch for Harmonia. It doesn't contain the number update or branding.

I'll make a slight change to post #1 to help. Not sure why this is so confusing.

 

[pbailey212]

So what your saying is, this patch is only for a 2.2 rom?... just kidding

Yeah didn't see that at first I just was happy to see new updates for our phone but thanks for pointing that out! I know the market update worked for me not sure if the MMS one went through so going to try a reflash see if it kicks in.

Mms won't be a visual update.

Correct, you won't see it, the only change is how it operates on some items, not even all of them.
It's mostly a bug fix.

Same with email, but it seemed to flash fine, it was the Market that was a hassle.

I dont like the new market. Its pretty ugly IMO. How can I go back to the previous one. Can you make a flashable zip to revert to the previous market. thanks in advance

Use a file manager (with root) and delete /system/apps/com.android.vending-1.apk
You may as well get used to it though.

Will I still have the old market?

You may have to flash an old gapps zip but like she said real soon this is going to be the default market. I am no fan of the new look but I kept it anyway seeing that this will be the norm.

 

[BiafraRepublic]

Does this require the pre-existing Vending.apk or can this overwrite it?

 

[LeslieAnn]

Vending.apk is the old market.
This patch does not over-write it but just adds the newer one which becomes the default.
Removing the new one, it will default back.

Removing Vending.apk is okay, but do not remove Market updater.apk or it will break.
