I can send text messages but not receive them,i know i deleted mms,apk so i tried reinstalling but it says 'messages could not be installed on this phone'

The phone is rooted

Just do a hard reset.

1. Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.

2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.

Now to wipe the device clean:

3. Press Alt+L.

4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.

5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.

The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

You will lose all your data though so back it up first.

Use an application like Lookout if you can first to backup everything to a server then download to phone again after you have it reset.
