I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!
I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.
I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.
Alright, here you go guys. Download the attached and flash it through clockwork and you'll be good to go.

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.
Of course that could've just been on the moment..

The old apk shouldn't be in the system after you flash it.. If it is yes you can delete it.

From what I was told/read it is a Sprint problem with how their devices communicate with the towers used for roaming. So blame Sprint for the problem

AH, zip must only be edify.
All you have to do is go into that zip, take out the mms.apk, and push it to system/app using root explorer.. I've got a video showing how to do that

Hello,
I just updated my SGS2 to 2.3.4 today and unfortunately, I seem to have lost the part that I liked the most about the messaging app: the ability to change themes. I really hate the way it looks now and would really like the plain look of one of the themes back.
Is it possible to push the older themable messaging app. to this new firmware and get the theme functionality back?
If anyone has the messaging app that supports themes, could you please pull it and attach it here so I can give it a try?
Many thanks.
+1 I miss the black theme as it goes sooo much better with my current rom. I'd be interested to know if this can be done
True. Let's see if someone can help with this
I use GoSmsPro and it has a few themes
I understand that there are alternatives available but I wish to have the stock messaging app back which supports themes I would really appreciate it if someone could pull it from their phone.
I'd like to have the stock messaging app with themes too (I wa addicted to the "funny" style..., I'm a dumbass I know...)
There should be SOMEONE with the older app
Here's what I tried:
I tried downloading an older KE7 firmware from 18th May and extracted the Mms.apk/odex and MmsProvisioning.apk/odex files and pushed them to /system/app and tried rebooting but that didn't change anything
If I try INSTALLING the new Mms.apk file it says Application not installed even if I try remounting the system as rw
Discussed before in this thread, no joy so far:

I tried the solution posted above but once you go depdexed you lose hardware acceleration in the browser and it gets laggy as hell. I guess I'm gonna have to keep on hoping for an odex solution

I will like first than any other thing to apologize if you are reading this and you thought finaly a multi DPI stock dialer aviable, sorry i dont have it. I needed a title to guet some readers to see it. Second for my really bad speling.
This post has been created whit one goal:
¡¡¡¡¡MULTI DPI STOCK SAMSUNG DIALER!!!!!
I have scouted xda forums for weeks (months now) to guet one, but this mod just... DOES NOT EXIST.
I have seen this request on replies, new threats, but no one single developer has responded to this call.
If YOU reader support this threat, i will sent a pm to your inbox once i guet one.
Now I will place here what WE are asking for:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
Yes we know there is an stock ics dialer and contacts, some android market apps whit multi dpi aviable free or paid, but we dont want that.
Well that is the reason of this post, but I have seen what people belive, is the PERFECT dialer:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
2. AutoRotate disiable
3. Full screem picture
4. ICS compatible
5. Record call aviable
And going a little bit more... demanding. If a developer decides to guet on this heroe path, on the SAMSUNG STOCK contacts app, the ability to unite more than five accounts to one contact.
Hopefully a great xda dev will become the heroe and provide the apk that many are looking.
I am so with you on this one, for months now I am looking for it, so do wish that one of the Devs will look into this for us all.
Come on guys PLEASE !!!!!!!!
Pls i need the Multi DPI Dialer for my VK Rom cause my phones Dpi is 182 but the integrated Dialer is to small and the number where cut
pls help
im waiting too +1

This is based off iNate71's Mms at Rootzwiki.It has Quick Message, new message popup window and emoji support. I just redid them to be transparent and black. I also edited all the hard coded colors in layout.xmls and moved them to colors.xml for easy changing.
I couldn't take the white in the default app anymore. This will only look good with a dark wallpaper.
You'll need a root file explorer..I prefer root explorer from the market.
First rename Unimessagebin.apk to apk.bak and then do the same with Unimessagebin.odex.
Now that you have
Unimessagebin.apk.bak and
Unimessagebin.odex.bak
Copy over this Mms-trans.apk or Mms-black.apk and set the correct permissions then reboot.
Viola you now have a transparent or black AOSP MMS app..

It doesn't have popup support but the one ill be releasing today does and mms works with both just fine.

Just uninstall your stock MMS system app then install this one it has pop up and way better then the stock one I found in it a while back ago I can't take credit for but thought I would share it
Those look like mixer images from that screeny.

so far i find it pretty gorgeous. if u say everything works then i think i just found my text app that i'm gonna be using for the foreseeable future (at least till we can get this bootloader unlocked and see what kinda roms we can get going...even then might sub your's in still haha) i like the icon u used, instead of the flat blue one, kind of a glass look to it, and i like the smiley's it uses (the round ones instead of the droid head ones for my friends that dont have emojis) i appreciate the effort greatly...my only real gripe left with the phone so far is no good ir remote apps...if only logitech would let u put their harmony software on ur phone without their adapters and use it with the IR instead of doing it over bluetooth/wifi to an expensive adapter...quickremote doesnt have as much functionality as i would like (like my harmony but always having to charge it haha)
I don't think MMS works..I can receive fine but mine crashes when trying to send a MMS..
May need to go back to old version.
yeah, ran into the same problem. receives no problem but wont send...still crashes. any idea y it does that?

Not at all..I thought it was because of image size limits but I changed those and it still crashes..
I did find a topic on how to get aosp MMS working on the s4 and there is a chance the method will work for us also but I haven't had time to update.
The old version I have does have working MMS both ways so I will update the apks later today but it doesn't have quick reply.
I'll make an inverted one off that base to you also.

You are describing TW MMS with the bubbles and AOSP MMS with the quick reply. You cannot, to my knowledge, get what you want without using an app from the play store. Like Go SMS/Handcent/chompSMS/etc.
I always hated the contact photo thing, too. Just in case I forget how to read, right? I can still look at the picture and know who I'm texting. Oh wait, no I can't. Because I'm not taking pictures of everyone in my contact list. Stupid idea. Even worse, you can't disable it. Unclear what the devs were thinking, if at all.
I hate using anything messaging from the play store because they all drain battery. Isn't there a themed one with quick reply? I hate the contact picture on every line. They're just ugly grey boxes. But I need quick reply. And I don't want to use a battery sucking app to text from the play store
There has to be a themed one somewhere

There may be a TW MMS with quick reply, but I haven't seen one. If we did have one, though, it would be buried in the themes and apps section.
I was looking in the themes and apps section. Just wondered if there was one that could be pulled from a custom Rom.
Does anyone know of one from a rom that can be pulled? So far I have found one that gets rid of the stupid contact pictures on every line, but its all black and hard to read. And has no message bubbles. Could it be modified?

Maybe, maybe not. There may have been changes made by the carriers, and they may have been initially written differently for each carrier.
Can't hurt to try though. After copying it over (backup original first), if it doesn't work at first, in Settings clear data for the app, then reboot recovery and wipe dalvik.
If it still doesn't work, it may not be completely compatible...

The issue is resolved. You just don't want to accept the answer. Find one on the store you like and use it. The battery drain will not be noticeable. If it is, the app is poorly written, find another one.
