Sidekick Sms Client - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

Anyone know where you can get an sms app that loos the same, or make another look very much like it? i have always admired the look of the sidekick stock sms application

hmm thats a good q. you could always dl an sk rom and rip the apk and see if u can push it via adb. might work might not work.

im awful with adb and shizzle like that, flashing is what i do best

I'm Downloading a sidekick rom and I'll post the apk, I would test but not having my DZ will make it very hard

oops. forgot about this, I downloaded a rom but i left my sdcard in computer at work. I doubt it will actually work. but I'll upload the apk tomorrow.

Don't get your hopes up, slim chance the apk will just work. I know where you're coming from though, samsung did a great job on the sidekick.

CM7 help.

Ok this is the first time I ever used CM anything. I figured out how to get the gapps but how to integrate my DB contacts with my reg. Ones? I've been on myn's so I don't know what I have been missing. I even read the wiki on this.
1. Fb integration
2. Changing toggles in notification bar.
3. Finding a red/black theme
4. Swype for cyan ?
5. Anything else useful I should know.
Please and thank you! (I'll be sure to hit the thank button if you help me.)

By DB contacts do you mean from a microsoft exchange account? Best to export them to a .vcf file and import them to your phone.
1. install facebook, under settings, accounts and sync, check the sync contacts box. That'll link it.
2. Settings, cyanogenmod settings, interface, notification power widget.
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11760329#post11760329
4. Go onto swype's website, sign up NOW, they'll send you an email with instructions. Do it now because its a beta that will close soon. Its still free.
5. Enjoy it.

I flashed the themes from the destroyer ROM over CM7 and they work great as well. They will give you a lot of options, about 13 in the theme manager.
Contrary to what the person above me said, most themes you no longer need to flash. CM has the T-Mobile Theme Engine now, which just lets you side-load an APK, then select the theme in the Theme Manager app, then reboot. That's it!
No more flashing crap that breaks on every other update.
where are they? My CM theme manager only came with 3 options. Love to get more easily
I mean fb contacts lol and I'll try these. I was gonna say I'm getting horrible battery but it's hard to judge cause my phone was in the coat room with no signal 58%.

All over the place! There's some in the Market, and dozens posted in all of the Themes sections here on XDA. You could give BlueBuzzer or Honeybread a try, for example.
Remember, just download the APK, install the APK, select the theme in the manager, and then reboot. No flashing or anything. Taking a backup beforehand though wouldn't hurt.
The red CM7 THEME is amazing. I would like to know why my juice defender isn't working though. I cannot accurately judge my battery life but I know Juice would help me.

I don't use it personally, but not all apps are compatible with 2.3 [gingerbread] yet, so you may have to wait.
It's probably cause I'm running an older version. Don't really like the new UI. I am gonna try installing a different version to see if it makes a difference. Now I understand what all this GB hype is about.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yea, I went gingerbread when it came out soon after I first rooted my phone and refuse to look back.
I can see why. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get my name on the lock screen in cm7.

Would look awesome but I'll have to use adb. Never used it before but I'm certain I can. Not exactly what I was looking for though, I'm still going to use it but I was looking for something to put text aka my name in my lock screen.

Well I think that is what you're looking for. You do that method, except he used "karadorde" for his phone, and I put it teh roxxorz on mine. You can make the text say whatever you want it to. And mine shows up like that on the lock screen and notification bar.
It worked. I used AndroZip and Terminal Emulator. Wasn't hard I just didn't read the second set of steps cause I thought it was an adb only thing. It effin' worked I'm "pimpin'" now hahaha.

try Roaming on verizon, then try again.
*2 is a short code that's programmed into the base, which CM does not have since the Sprint apps are not present in the base.

Well thats the main number for sprint. If that isnt working, there is a problem with your phone. Try flashing back to a stock rom.
WORK
Just be a little creative. Download a rom that comes with it as a removed/optional apk (MYN Warm 2.2 does for sure). Unzip the rom, find the apk & push it to your phone with adb:
adb devices (just to make sure it's connected)
adb mount
adb push srintzone.apk system/app/
adb reboot
Done
or just mount your sd card and place the apk file in a random folder and find it in your file explorer (download es explorer from market if you don't have one). just click on it in file explorer and it will ask you to install.
Honestly if you've flashed enough roms on your phone more than likely there is already a folder marked optional/removed that has it. I usually wipe most unused things but I keep a couple of these folders just in case.
Does sound like something may be wrong with your phone though if it isn't dialing a regular phone number.
Good Luck
EDIT: Excuse me for this. Doesn't work on AOSP roms, only sense. Sorry buddy good luck though.
I had same problem ...dial 611 and that will work ...

{Q} UOT kitchen

Sorry I'm very new to this but I'm trying to make some icons for kings new shift port but I'm not sure how to get the colors right I want something like cm7 green color with the glow not that ugly og color that comes with the phone and I don't want it to change color when the battery drops any help would be awesome I'm sure I'll get some thats why I love xda.
Edit: I'm on the kitchen now and looking at the icons can I just pick one of the (black status bar icons) then upload the files needed ? Could it really be that easy ? I ask cause theres one there that has pretty much what I'm looking for.

Correct. You only check what you want/need that you're adding for your zip. Ex, you found a set in the kitchen you like, check only that and it will build the zip with the files you updated.

Look around here for a .zip containing the mms app (dev section?) you can flash with CWM (or you can build your own). I only run Juggernaut, so this might make your phone explode, and I cannot take any responsibility therefor or for any other negative effect of following my advice.
I've downloaded juggernaut 5.0 haven't flashed it.. I may give it a try tonight... Thanks bud..

Bloater.apk does NOT WORK

Is it me? Or does the bloater app just hardly ever work? I have to click on T-Mobile SGS2 about 32424 times just to get the 2 sub directories:
T-mobile apps and Samsung apps
then
One I get into one of those it seems like no matter what I try to un-install hangs indefinitely and does nothing un-till I hit the home button. Thus not removing what I selected. I can just never get this APK to work. I'm running Juggernaut 5.0 with the KOBALT theme. What I'm trying to get rid of are some of the Samsung widgets like:
BuddiesNOW
Accuwather
Agenda Ap Mobile Bookmark
Digital Clock
Email
Mini paper
News and weather
Voice
Yahoo Finance
never had much luck with bloater either. the apps it did restore were outdated versions of what the market had already. the apps it tried to delete disnt get deleted.
use ti backup if bloater doesnt work.
