Desire SMS / MMS APK ported to ACE - Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps

Hi all,
Just in case anyone is interested, I have ported HTC Desire's MMS apk to my ace running on GR v1.1.
Some features
1. Change app background black or white
2. Change attachment save folder
3. Custom User Agent (Spoof Phone as a different model for MMS, though i have
not used this so far)
4. Customize font size from list available
5. SMS template gestures
Edit 1: does not allow more than 11 contacts (sam's original did not allow more than 10) ... very bad
Screen shots attached.
MatrixLoaded
Edit 2: Steps and Apk attached
Standard disclaimer apply and most importantly below process will wipe your data so take a backup. (may be there is another way to put app without wipe but i know only this one sr. members, pls feel free to enlighten me of that process)
requirements
KPN FW (i have GR v1.1 so i think it should work on all KPN)
Rooted, deodexed, Root explorer or file explored and recovery 4.0.0.9
steps
1. take backup on your original mms.apk from system/app via root explorer
2. put attached MLmms.apk to your sd card
3. rename MLmms.apk to mms.apk
4. use root explorer and move renamed mms.apk to system/app (don't forget to mount rw)
5. put permission as r-xrwxr-x (after this you might not see the icon on the menu eg tw launcher in case you use it. but don't be afraid)
6. reboot into recovery and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
7. reboot normally and you should see the new app.

Which means it's for KPN , right ?

Hmm i'll rather use our themed one. If we need extended functions i'll go for third party apps

Thank you so much. I'm not satisfied with Samsung's Messaging app, and I hate the ones on the Market.
But, uh... Is it just me, or is the link missing/not available?

Have not put in the link delibrately ... just tryin to see if its worth wasting everyone's time (personally i liked the font size and other stuff, but 10 contact limitation is killer)
In case you want the apk, i can share with steps ofcourse

10 contact limitation? What does that mean? Does it mean it can only show 10 people on the conversations list? If so, I'm quite fine with that (I don't have many friends T_T)

no the SlideMeRoot 5r1 but you mighty need ubuntu that's what i used. first rename the rom i just added 2 at the end
in ubuntu i deleted a fie in the bin folder (logwarpper) from SMR5r1 rom
flash the rom (renamed) then flash the regular rom (no wipe)
note: download the regular rom and put on SD first
EX: slideMeRood5r1 regular
SlideMeRoot5r2 renamed
hope im clear sorry
Eh, don't do all of that. Just change your Theme (press your menu key at the desktop screen, then select "MyModes", then "Change my Theme") to Nest. It already has the bubbles removed on the latest Slidemeroot5, but the theme has to be Nest. You can change the background after you change to that theme.
I only removed it on the Default theme, as I knew people was going to say ( But, I liked the Bubbles!! )

I'm not sure how anyone can like the bubbles... they're so obnoxious. Makes the screen too cluttered-like, but what do I know - all personal preference I guess.

the stock nest theme is in system/framework its com.htc.resources.apk.. you can pull this from one of his slidemeroms and push it to your rom and itll have them removed. If you want to do it the hard way, you pull that file from your phone, open it up, all the png files in it that say container in the name are the bubbles. replace bubbles with a blank icon named the same.

Rom Editor

Hi guys,
I've been changing roms on my phone lately and found out that there were some roms that have some apps on the rom that I don't want on it.
Or just the other way around, that it doesn't have some apps on it that I do want when I install a new rom.
After a while I got irritated by this and thought that I could create a program that could help people like me by adding/removing apps from the rom without diving into the rom zip file and maybe delete files that I shouldn't touch.
It's finally finished and it works, i've tested it on my HTC Desire multiple times now .
let me know what you think! And if you have any tips/questions check my website to get my e-mail address!
you can find more info/screenshots at beardman.eu
And here's the Download link!
Updates:
V1.5
- It's even bigger
- You are able to change your boot animation
- You are able to change sounds (Alarms, notifications, ringtones)
- Code optimization
V1.4
- It’s a bit bigger
- You can now maximize the window
- It no longer looks like it’s frozen when you unpack/save a rom
- Bar at the top of the program with the “settings”
- Progress bar on the bottom to show the unpacking/saving progress
- Report bug option for when you’ve found something that isn’t working!
- Code optimization
V1.3
- Extra tab for some settings which can be turned on and off as you wish
- Changelog is now included
- Check for update is included
- You can open the last rom as how you left it, no need to drop it on there again
- Automatically remove the safe to remove apps
- Automatically load previous edited rom
- Small bugfixes
V1.2
- Information is shown while extracting rom
- When saving rom, a location and file name is asked
- When right clicking on an item in the System list a pop-up will show which allows the user to mark an app as safe/unsafe to remove
- Items will be colored red or green or black depending on if they are safe or unsafe to remove
- Option to delete all the safe to remove items
V1.1
- Added compatible with update-script
Todo:
- Save state
- get your own list of apps to remove automatically
This program is supposed to work on most devices, if you've tested it and it works let me know!
Working devices:
- HTC Desire
is that like the rom kitchen?
but works on windows??
I don't really know, I haven't looked into it. The only thing you can change so far is adding and removing apps to the system and user partition. If you have a tip on what I should add, let me know!
Yes, it works on windows.
I haven't really dabbled in it much - but when i did it looked like you needed a linux VM/boot to play around with it much...
one thing that might be sensible is to try and code in a flag to identify apps that shouldn't be removed, because of fc etc.? even if they are just flagged as italics or something with a warning that they may cause fc if you don't have a default launcher or something
Well, it works on windows because you'll need to download a rom first, and then you open the rom zip file with this program and you'll just basically edit the files in the rom zip file!
Thanks, that's a good one! I'll look into it soon!
something like this is always good for getting rid of htc stocks (stock.apk and the widget too com.htc.stockwidget.apk - oh and plurk too nowadays)
and the apps that annoy you because you replace them instantly with an updated/different version from market, like quickoffice, the google apps that are out of date very quickly...
if you can make the app recommend ones not to remove, perhaps its worth highlighting ones that are recommended to remove too?
list could be provided quickly by people using the app as to which ones are commonly removed
edit: especially as you have a nice little log of apps that are removed:
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.linkedin.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.StockWidget.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app HtcPlurk.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app Quickoffice.apk
17:50:37 - Removing app Stock.apk

was playing about with this rom if it helps: Cool-AceS-v7.zip
--- oh
and if it helps, it might be an idea to put a 'please wait' box popup or something when loading a rom - it took a minute or so when i tried it - and the app window hangs (as well as the explorer one I dragged the .zip from) - if a progress bar can be made that'd be better, but it'd be good just to tell people that it's doing something and not just crashing
Thanks for the error report, gonna look into it in a hour or so!
Think that's a good idea, i'll see what I can do for it .
-edit:
Found what the problem is, currently it only works when a rom is using the updater-script, not the update-script.
Think i'll be able to fix it this week .
Not to disappoint you or anything but what you can do with this program you can do it anyway. I was hoping for a proper full on program really, not just deleteing applications. I can do this anyway by opening rom.zip and deleteing the apps myself.
Probably a nice little app for newbies though.
Had another idea, to set your own list of defined apks to remove so you can have quick open and deletion (and addition) of apk list, and recompile of a zip.

indeed.
not everyone is familiar and happy to start ripping open zips and deleting stuff so for those people this will be a nice way to get stuff done without the fear of screwing it up
And you can add apps to the user data partition. If the rom hasn't included the data install in the updater-script that will be added !

when saving I got the error 'rom file is in use by another process' or similar
I guess that's because I opened it in the app and it is trying to save over the top?
'save as' feature would fix it
or is it cause the .zip is in the same folder as the .exe ?

yes it is.
a save as and/or an option to rename the .zip when recompiling the zip would be best probably - or an error that says 'do not have the .zip you want to edit in the same folder as the .exe'

SGS3 themed Accuweather widget

Hi everyone,
----Attention to anyone on CM9 wanting to use this package-----
The zip seems to be causing some trouble with CM9 and some users have reported having boot loops after flashing (only on CM9)
If you are on CM9 and want to use the package please push the files across manually to where they need to be.
eg. /system/app and /system/etc read page 2 of this thread for detailed instructions.
**************Update 08/06/2012**************************
Another new update v1.2.1
fixed CWM package file...
added some permission xmls from touchwiz roms, and some libs etc. Hopefully will fix the problems some have been having again with the package.
Link updated below in downloads.
**********
Sorry to those of you who are on a CM based rom who weren't able to get the zip to work, I've updated the zip so it should work on CM, I am unable to test as I'm not on a CM rom so can someone please check it for me and let me know? Thanks.
Download link updated below.
ps. 100 downloads in less than a day!
***********************************************
I like many others have been working hard to port the SGS3's lovely widgets, but like everyone else, I haven't had any real luck ripping them, it seems samsung worked hard to make these ONLY available on the SGS3, but I guess it is just a matter of time until someone is able to port them.... hopefully
Until that time, I decided the next best thing would be to use the SGS2's ported accuweather widget and theme it with the nice images from the SGS3 widget
The background image is semi-transparent and changes depending on daytime/night time/cloudy weather
Have a look at screenshots
Daytime -
Night time -
Cloudy -
Installation
Copy zip file to phone
Then reboot into CWM and flash this file.
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot and enjoy
**If you already have either the digital clock widget or the sgs2 accuweather widgets installed, I would suggest to do a backup with titanium (just in case you want to revert to your old one) and then uninstall them**
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r90ug8t219kd5sk
If you are happy with the app please hit the thanks button
And if you are really really happy feel free to buy me a beer / donate
In the zip, there is also a digital clock widget, with the number images from the SGS3 ported over too

Can you tell me which rom are you using, maybe you can try to manually put the files in /system/app and set permissions to 0 , 0 then r-w, r, r,
Did the install with CWM say it was sucessful or not?

However as you are on a Touchwiz based rom you might be able to get the real sgs3 widget to work from Twics latest 1.5.1 update see here it is a big pack which adds on a lot of content to your phone and changes icons etc. if you dont want all that stuff I can edit his CWM package if you want so it just includes the widgets...
Here is the link, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4dwy7yvy5ekhj7i
I edited out all the other stuff and you just have the new touchwiz launcher and the sgs3 widgets. Just put the file on your phone and flash with CWM, I can't guarantee it will work, but if you are on a samsung rom your chances are better than the rest of us I think, let me know how it goes.
New zip added to OP for those of you who are using CM roms, sorry the last zip seems to have only worked for some people, this one should work for everyone fingers crossed.

Yeah but... Touchwiz is... just touchwiz ^^'
It's atm not working for me too. I manually copied these two .apk Files to the /system/app Folder. After that i have wanted to change the permissions but i guess i failed that way...the permissions seem to be basically accurate... Help me guys please
I have just updated the file in the OP, version 1.2
now includes added touchwiz permission xml files and some lib files to system.
Hopefully with these added files it will work for everyone.
Let me know if it works

I use an app from the market called 'super manager' download that and go into the 4th tab to the file manager, once you are in the file manager choose 'back up level folder' up the top of the list, choose this until it takes you back to / (which is root) up the top you should see '/ (r/o)' then go to system, (when going into system it will ask you if you want to modify the file system, it will give you three options 1. do nothing 2. read only, and 3. r/w choose R/W. Now you are in the system folder of your phone, but be careful here because if you change something without knowing what you are doing you could have big problems.. ok now go into app folder and find your file, it will be near the bottom, it is called accuweather.com and under that it will say 'samsungwidget_weatherclock.apk'.
Once you have found the file choose the tick box next to it, now down the bottom of the screen you will see a list of icons; home, copy, cut, paste etc. now slide across to the right and you will see 'attribute' the icon has 777 on it.
Ok now where it says owner: set this number to 0
and where it says group: set this number to 0 as well.
under that you will have your permissions.
you can set owner to read, write, and execute
you can set group to read, write, and execute as well
and you can set other to read, write, and execute as well
it will also work if you just have owner as r-w-- group as r---- and other as r---- but try the above settings first to see if that works for you.
Now you just have to reboot and your widget should install properly
I will assume that you are on a rooted rom though?
And please try the new version 1.2 in the opening post too
Let me know if you have any troubles

[APP / THEME] Inverted Jelly Bean Google Apps / Black & Blue

Hi everybody,
OP UPDATED :
I just wanted to share these beautifull Inverted Black and Blue Apps. I'm only a messenger here, and had the kind authorisation and support of NCANDIANO to post these here for everybody. Please thank him, and most important, go show your love on ROMDROIDHACKS Forum, which is really great !
I didn't made these, so I'll take no credits. Please thank NCandiano, and ROMDROIDHACKS :
Original Thread here : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
The amazing TWISTED(X) Theme, made by NCANDIANO, will only work with KILLROMS , but as he's a real Gentleman, he made separate inverted apps only package, for us to use with all other Roms (should work on all J.B ROMS.)
What you'll find (Quoted from Twisted(X) Thread) :
Inverted (Black and Blue) GApps & Extras:
TwistedAppsOnly: http://db.tt/DX8nht1F (Contains for your pleasure: Updated Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, MMS, and Keyboard, Google Now, Email, Calculator, Google Talk, Phonesky(market))(This pack can be used with any 4.1.1 Roms. Google Now may have to be installed seperately, however.)
Flashable App-Zips: For your convenience. In the event you'd like to sample one or two flavors, this is the menu. Have at it.
Gmail: http://db.tt/1veBVDpY
Calendar: http://db.tt/nOxUy7b4
Contacts: http://db.tt/ezCjuaxC
MMS: http://db.tt/dXKhhsf2 (This is the Mms from KillRom, with QuickText)
Keyboard: http://db.tt/VbXsfbbI
GoogleNow: http://db.tt/jDLqcwM0 (You need to be on the updated Google Search from the market for this to work. See disclaimer above regarding if it doesn't take on the first flash!)

FOR BETTER AND NICER AND BIGGER SCREENSHOTS, WELL GO TO : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
I particularly advise using these apps with the wonderful RASBEANJELLY ROM, which is already all Black and Blue : http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro
OR of course using the Original Theme with KILLROMS : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/
Instructions for flashable zip : wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot.
If you want to revert to stock apps...then you'll have to flash again your Rom after having performed a cache and dalvik wipe.
Usual Disclamer : I'm not responsible for the damages that these could eventually cause to you phone. I suppose you're grown-up people, so you don't need me to hold your hand...blah, blah,.......BUT these apps should not harm your phone if you follow instructions...
Yay... Looking good.
Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible for me to edit the text (e.g in Gmail) to white?

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

That's strange....
Try this one and report ; you don't need to delete first the old one, just put the new one in system/app folder, it will override it, and the phone will reboot.

Oh, that's must be why then. I had moved out of the /system/app folder the original velvet.apk in my attempts. Now even if I move it back to the app folder, the stock google search app won't appear in the apps list no matter what. I guess I have to flash gapps again and then follow your procedure.

Yes, i think deleting first the file must "disturb" the system somehow...
Try with the Quicksearchbox in OP, and if it doesn't work, then try the Velvet one.
Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

Link me to the ROM you're running. That apk is a ***** with different ROMs mostly because its new. I'll build a working velvet for you later tonight and post by tomorrow.

I am using the 9th August release of rascarlo ROM (http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro)! That's very kind of you!

You are right, I should've just renamed it. That was my bad, I thought that following the rootzwiki inverted gmail client installation procedure would work with those apk as well (mount /system for W permissions as root, delete /system/app/gmail.apk and then install the custom gmail.apk as a normal apk file).
For the record's sake, I've tried flashing latest gapps but I couldn't manage to make google search pop again. Maybe I should just do a clean flash of the rom again and try with the correct procedure.
What's strange is that i'm using too Rasjellybean 9th Aug , and i installed this without any issue.
So volapyk is right , this could be a permission problem.
Vaalen , have you tried the velvet apk too ?
And before reflashing default gapps , have you wipe cache and dalvik ?
Flashable Zips- Black Velvet Forthcoming
I added the apks into flashable zips. They're generic zip flashers they'll work in any recovery. Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash. It's not always just the name with the QSB apk, so I'm going to put together a Velvet.apk when I get home later, in the meantime these should make for easier installs for those who don't want to be messing around in the system/app folder. I'm PMing you the links because XDA won't let me link (not enough posts,) If you would update the OP I'd appreciate it.
**Black and blue UI, Framework, and Inverted Notifications Shade are only supported at the HIVE for Axiom ROMs at the moment.
Enjoy your JellyBean!
OP is updated with your flashable zip NCandiano, again a huge thank to you. As i said i just wanted to use these apps on other roms, and pulled these from your beautiful PZ Theme, and with your permission posted here.
But i didn't think you'd come and offer us even better ! That's great mate ! You deserve your own thread for your own work buddy ! I'm just a user who appreciate and share your work.
Flashed MMS apk and gmail apk. MMS apk works great except when you click a thread on the main screen the area you click doesn't highlight. Is this how it should be? Also gmail apk only screen that is dark is the main home screen. When you click to read an email it is white. Normal as well? Thanks!

ICS Metamorph theme for the HTC dream

It is still in beta, but it has the HOLO buttons and text fields for the most part, and the black statusbar, feel free to modify it and re-post it on this thread so that I can incorporate any suggestions you may have!

Just realized that the file is invalid, I'm working on recovering it as we speak.
Here, it should work now, just open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and select ICS_theme_2 from wherever you saved it to.

Don't forget to click "Thanks"!
Here is a cleaned up version.

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.
roote already

Hey dude, I was rooted already running an gingerbread build, the launcher that comes with the rom was launcher2, just wanna ask if your ICS theme could also be use on that rom. thanks in advance.
It will likely work on almost any ROM, but some elements might not be themed, best of luck!:fingers-crossed:
Your right

Yeah bro, I tried it but nothing change, I used the metamorph.apk from market and followed what you have said, but I think its not suitable for the rom I'm using.
But thanks for the help you given me... :good:
you might need to adjust the reboot timeout in metamorph settings, so that it doesn't reboot in the middle of the operation.
You might try ninjamorph, but no promises. What ROM are you using? If you want, I can email you a copy of the one I know it works for.
now on cm 6.1 stable

hello bro, sorry for the late reply, recently I tried it on EzGingerBread but it failed when I apply it nothing happen but now I'm on CM 6.1stable (I don't want gingerbread builds I find them so slow on my phone) thanks in advance.
That's funny, I just moved to ezgingerbread. I'm not actually finding it that slow with the ram hack. I literally flashed it about 15 minutes ago, and this was sent using it. By the way, I found that It only really worked for the rom i had included the name of in the xml file. I'm working on bringing holo to gingerbread as we speak though....
new rom for me too

Oh, you just flashed ezginger while me I also flashed a few moments ago this new rom I newly discovered also a froyo rom its pre-themed ICS rom named froyo cream sandwich I forgot who post this but its nice superb, Im now testing it.
Send me a link, that sounds awesome! However, is it compatible with the ezterry ram hack?
Yes it is, its themed by darinx (probably butchered his name) there are two ROMs actually, one based off froyo by Laszlo and one of dream team froyo, two of the better froyo builds for the dream
Check the dev threads and youll find it within the first few pages
Also andisa (probably butchered his name too) made a great ICS theamed version of ezgingerbread that all includes some additional tweeks, I don't believe he ever created an xda thread but I can find you the link if your interested

If you could post the link to the ezgingerbread version, that would be excellent. I'm not quite ready to give up gingerbread, as it is working great even with live wallpapers.

DREAMWAVE sorry for the late reply, here is the complete link for that rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568486
Just want to ask what was the things you did to make G1 still great even with live wallpapers under the gingerbread version?? heheh,,,thanks in advance,,,
what I did to speed it up was remove some apps that were running in the background, such as dialer, which was taking up a solid 7mb of ram all the time. I now have a pretty consistent 42mb of ram while at my launcher, adw ex. While it won't beat any phone at a benchmark, it will run quite smoothly while flipping between launcher pages. Try using swap and a task killer, I am using smart ram booster and have the widget situated over the clock on the statusbar for whenever I want a quick boost in speed.
