People App! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

ICS introduced a new contact app, the People App.
It is a very nice app, but there is one thing that I hate about it.
The white backgroung color!
Why white while most of the rest UI are black?
So, is there anyone who can change it? Probably with root ...
I remember there is that Facebook black or something. I assume it can also be done with this People App ...

The Nexus can be rooted (see MoDaCo for howto). Go do that and upload the people.apk file here, I'll see if I can help.

Please do this for Galaxy S2....

When I go into contacts, mine is already black background,this is contacts, not people though.

dialer app (phone icon) has black bgr
contact app (vcard icon) has white bgr
would be nice for both to be black.. looks much nicer

Wrong thread

yes...would be nice to have it black, with white writing... just as the contact in the phone apk...i could change the background, the problem is to change the xml responsible of the white writing...

How's this?
Grab the first image, its all white
Perfect. Thanks a lot
With the phone on the dash the 3G & 4G icons are so fine one needs to do more than just glance.
I need anything better. Just a bold 4 without the G would be OK with me.
Thanks
I would like an icon set that was themed as the periodic table of the elements.
Im not sure if some made this or can help me put but the green SMS app icon I would like to change the color, thank u in advanced

I like the inverted messaging apps. In the mms he darkened the MMS icon. The people app is work in progress but workng fine. The Gmail is done.
Have a look. There are links to the apps in my sig.
Some of the users wanted the green back so if her changed it and you want the version with the black one PM me.
Honestly, I know I'm not the only one that has thought if this, but if one if the icons was a weed leaf.... I bet you'd get alot of downloads and really blow ppl away with the freedom of open source.

Messaging app transparent background?

Hello guys I'm sorry I looked all through here but I didn't think any of the ones I saw in the app section were the kind I was looking for could someone point me in the right direction?
Also I can't seem to find the darthstalker ROM?
Sorry again for my n00bness.
Thanks for your time!

I can't help with the messaging app, but all roms are in the dev sections.
gosms app is what I'm using till i find something better. It's 3rd party, but free & customizable if you've got the patience for a little trial & error. I'm still hoping to find a transparent stock mod soon myself, but i just started looking recently.

I'm not aware of any modded stock messaging app that is transparent (but there's a lot I don't know!), but could you help me understand what you'd want?
You say you want a "transparent background" messaging app. Is that one where, when it is open, you see the home screen underneath the text bubbles? Or just the wallpaper? Or would it see any previously opened app? I don't know enough about modding apks to do anything about it, but if you could clarify what you're looking for, it'd help give people more solid ideas on what to develop.
I will tell my team about the transparent background and I'll see what we can do . amiblindyet me and misty I will update you in the morning to see what we can do!!

So you want the background and bubbles to be transparent... I would assume that you want the background 100% transparent and the bubbles something like 70-80% transparent.
I'm ignorant on this, but I've heard that you can decompile an apk and replace the assets in /res folder. I'm not sure if it's possible with these items, but that would be the place to start.

And yes background 100% (in case I ever go back to a live wallpaper) & since I have a black area & white area on the wallpaper(both horizontal) maybe some holo blue for text so my text won't vanish when I scroll up & down. kinda like tvshow faves trans widget text color. Ive noticed that blue looks good w/my wallpaper. Bubbles maybe 90%. trans. I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Thank you for your time, consideration & efforts.

Stock MMS that supports all emoji

Wanted to know if there is or if somebody can make/modify a stock MMS apk that supports all 876 unicode emoji characters. I running the latest NoWizAOSPMod and it has the stock MMS but it only supports about 471 natively.

its actually already in the system
download kii keyboard and install the emoji support from settings and then hold the 123 button bottom left corner and go the smiles button and there you go emojis they also work for facebook and instagram and others apps ... has swype feature to enable it if not already..:good:
this is awesome!
is there a way I can theme it in dark?
You can try this, it will replace the Samsung Messenger with the aosp mms themed dark with bubbles, with working group messaging and emojis. Works great when messing people with iPhones
http://d-h.st/Ewh
This will also erase all your current texts so make a back up if you care.

this is just the app, won't erase anything but will only work if you still have the previously uploaded one, with the 'bad' colors. This is the same background, just changed the received bubble to grey and the sent to white and the text to black for the messages.

no problem! If you ever want to change the colors or anything it is fairly simple, use an apktool found all over on xda, along with guides to use them, the framework to use would be the one in the first zip, after the mms.apk is decompiled, the bubbles are /res/drawable-xhdpi/ hairline_left.9.png and hairline_right.9.png. The one pixel black lines and dots on the outside edges of the images are where the image expands and stuff, so make sure they stay there or you'll get errors when compiling. I use paint.net to edit them. For the text color, the hex values are found in a few places, like /res/values/colors.xml and /res/layout/message_list_item_recv.xml, and send. It just takes some time playing around with the stuff to get it to look how you want.

Thank you sir. I did mess with doing some of this a while back. Changed my clocks to black etc on my evo and evo 3d. But my laptop took a dump at Xmas and I just never repaired it. :/
That being said, I had bad issues sending mms. They would constantly hang or not send even after waiting like 30 plus minutes. I had this happen trying a ROM running aosp mms app as well. Maybe it's just my phone. But thank you so much.

If you use Google voice, that may have a negative affect. I had to disable it and then get the lite version that just handles voice mail enabled to fix my mms and emoji issues

[Themed App] Mms.apk 4.3- V2 Dark and Holo Blue & V3 Bubbles w/no Avatar

This is a stock AOKP 4.3 messaging app themed. The original version with gray panels has been discontinued. Version two has clear conversation list panels that expose the stock gradient background themed with Holo Blue. Version three adds outline bubbles that match the text color and has the avatars removed. They include Emoji, quick reply, breathing sms notification, strip unicode, enter for a new line, and custom user agent. No popup with the quick reply, quick reply is accessible thru the notification dropdown. HO versions have alternate Hangouts smileys in place of the stock droid ones. These are only tested on my Nexus 4 that is running 4.3 stock deodexed JWR66Y build. If you have success with a different rom, please post it. Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you like.
Disclaimer- As always, do a nandroid backup before flashing/installing. I take no responsibility for any issues. Flash at your own risk.
Updates
8/12 - Initial release - version 1
8/13 - Icon change, avatar placeholder change, attachment png fix, fixed gray on gray text with searching contacts when composing new message, fixed black on dark gray text when deleting conversation
8/14 - Themed smileys to holo blue, fixed black on black text when adding subject, increased max message size, changed phone number text to white when searching contacts, slightly darkened unread panel and changed date to white in conversation list for better visual appearance
8/15 - Removed white frame around mms in conversation panel, darkened active send button.
8/16 - Changed sender name/number in the quick reply box to holo blue.
9/06 - Themed widget added
9/11 - Version 2 added. Changed to clear conversation list panels that show the dark holo gradient background, a nicer visual appearance for those that like darker. Update only if you want both the conversation list and message list showing the gradient background.
9/17 - Version 1 discontinued. Version 2 updated - Changed received text color to pure white within quick reply for better visibility. Changed icons to white within dropdown when choosing attachment type. Removed the return to sleep when replying from lockscreen option in the settings menu since it is non functional with the JWR build. New and better screenshots added. Updating is recommended for anyone using this.
9/18 - Fix added for background of group participants list when receiving a group message. Picture frame added for pics received and sent within the messages panel. Theming is complete and this will be final unless someone spots a needed fix and brings it to my attention.
9/24 - Minor update. Fixed bad code by default for the Heart smiley that did not allow it to display properly when sending and receiving <3. Also took the opportunity to theme the pressed color around the recently added picture frame for a better match.
10/5 - Minor update to V2 - finalized. Lock indicator for messages changed to white for better visibility. V3 added. This is a bubble version, based off of V2, which provides matching outline bubbles and has the avatars removed.
10/9 - Fix for V3. Removed the bubble showing when viewing the group participants list for messages that are group messages.
10/14 - Minor fix for V3. Heart smiley fix added to V3.
10/26 - V2 & V3 apks with alternate Hangouts smileys uploaded. Note, these are only alternate smileys in place of the stock droid ones, not the entire set of emojis. See screenshots.
Installation
1) Flash the zip file in recovery or
2) Extract and push the Mms apk to system/app (remove and backup your current Mms.apk). Set permissions if needed.
* If using a odexed rom, you need to rename/remove the mms odex file.
Thanks to rustyjay for the apk.
Thanks to UBER for his tutorial and his bubble pngs.
Thanks a lot, it's a nice start! However, I noticed that the background in conversations looks like the dialer's and, in my opinion, that's how the main window background should look like. That grey doesn't look so good, in my opinion. Of course, I would have preferred a black background for everything, even for the top/bottom panels but it's a Holo Grey so I respect your decision
Personally I like it. Nice change, keep up the good work.

I still want to do some changes with the top and bottom panels. They are untouched at this point. I'm liking the top panel black and thinking the bottom would look good black also. I'm working on trying to get transparency in the list screen, but otherwise I may change the shade of gray to match the panels better. Most of the theming I have done is the easier stuff. I did it all yesterday and today. Progress will be at a slower pace now.

Did you make a backup copy of your previous MMS apk, as instructed in the op? I'm not sure what is stock for you, as I don't know what rom you are running. If you didn't make a backup copy, you could always pull a copy from the rom zip and push it to system or make a flashable zip.
