Samsung Stock mms.apk themed to CM9!!!

hey ppl,I tried to use the cm9 mms app on my stock rom,after googlin it seems that it wont work..so i decided to theme the stock mms.apk to look like cm9(well not exactly )
I used the resource files from galaxy nexus dump,and i should say that i used 2 png's from master vertumus ics theme..so the credit goes to him too..
INSTALLATION:
place the mms.apk in system/app...fix permissions and reboot..
Note:i have tested it in LP3,I think it'll work in other roms too..

When I slide the conversation to the left or right, instead of getting "Call" or "Message" I get these weird strings (attached)

Well that looks weird...which rom are u in mate?? try clearing dalvik in recovery..

I'm on my own ROM. I wiped dalvik already, I even tried re-odexing the app, not that that would make a difference.
It's based on LP3 -- so it SHOULD be compatible.

attach your roms mms.apk ill theme it and lets see if that solves this,cuz am on wanam LP3 rom and it works perfectly..

I'm just uploading the odexed apk. The source files aren't there but you should be able to change the files in drawable-hdpi without too much trouble. Let me know if you need it de-odexed so you can actually decompile it

i wont be needing deodexed apk, as i didn't play with the xml and jar files..simple replace of png's..anyway while i was replacing your mms.apk i found out that certain png of yours were 9.png in mine..so i didn't replace them,may be that was the problem..lets see if this works..

CM9 MMS
Is there a way to take the actual CM9 mms.apk and actually replace the existing mms.apk? I'm using MysticPride's v.18 Rom and the MMS is themed in a way that I am not fond of. I'd like the stock MMS or if possible that of the latest CM9 Nightlies. Any response is greatly appreciated.

Here is the deal cm9,ASOP apps wont work on Samsung stock rom and vice verse cuz they have different framework dependencies..but dev's have found a way to port the stock app's but that's on GB,i don't know if it could be implemented to ICS

Thanks!
Thanks for your response. I have actually gone way overboard now for the past three days and have come pretty far getting things the way I wanted. I just ended up installing a different Rom and adding the bootanimation from Mystic along with the latest N.E.A.K. Kernel with overclocking and now my phone is sick and has the stock SMS. The only thing I didn't like about the Mystic SMS was the colors (Anal) I know! The SMS from CM9 is pretty cool in my opinion only because it shows the contact image within the texting screen rather than just as a thread. Whatever though, Thanks for your response and time. I have really learned a lot on here in the past couple days. Very appealing new hobby this Android Development...

Hello!
I like your mms.apk very much, it looks cool. But sad to say I only have a galaxy ace S5830i. I really want to use your mms, though. Can you do one that is compatible for my phone? Please?

System Color Theme

I have installed Blu Kuban ROM and loving it. However I liked the default color them of stock FF18 or even the GS3. How would I go about getting the original color scheme back to my system settings and ONLY system settings? I'm pretty familiar with system/app and the framework folders... I just dont know what goes where...
Thanks.

It would almost be easier to flash stock FF18 systemui and framework back to the phone than to retheme it and work up from there for the few things you want to change.

Ok, ya that sounds like an idea.. unless there is something inside those files I can copy from the stock to the custom and replace within Systemui and framework..
I really like all the other customizations he made to his ROM.
Thank you for the response.

You're going to lose quite a bit. He has a lot of mods, including the extended toggles if you go with stock. You will have to experiment. You can copy over all the stock icons over to his systemui and framework files from res/drawable-hdpi as a start. More advanced color modding (changing color codes) would be necessary in the decompiled xml files otherwise.
Edit: Don't replace the battery icons though when you copy over the entire contents of the drawable-hdpi.

He has a ROM pretty close to aosp type....never seen another TW based ROM so updated or having so many easy custom installs. But if u want changes, you either need to theme or go with cm9/aokp to install other themes- and there are quite a few to pick from. Do a nand and see what suits you best.

Tweaked Black Framewok Res

This zip includes a modded FI03 framework-res for the Black ROM with CRT on , 360 degree Rotation, LockScreen Rotation enabled, and LockScreen clock centered for use in FI03 stock deodexed ROM.
Warning: If you have already made mods to your ROM with ROM toolbox, please dont use this MODDED framework. Rom Toolbox doesnt play nice with modded framework res apks'
http://d-h.st/c5r
If any other devs want to use this framework for your ROM, just swap out the res folder in the framework-res apk with themed res folder from your ROM's framework-res.apk using 7zip... OH , and gimme credit for making the mods too please. TY.

Ya this zip can be used on any fi03 rom if you swap out the res folders.

Would it work in an odexed ROM if i swap out the res folder as well?

I think the app would have to be odexed first. Maybe it would if you just replaced the res folder in the framework res and swapped out the framework resapks but left the odex file. Honestly i don't use odexed roms much so i couldn't tell ya for sure. I don't think so tho. I think you need dex wrapper to make a new odex file for it. Google how to theme odexed apks and you should find the answer. Lemme know how it turns out.

I guess I should have specified, This mod should work with any stock deodexed fi03 ROM.

Help theming a stock rooted rom!

As an UN-experienced dev, I am attempting to theme a stock rom that has already been rooted, de-odexed and zipaligned.
other that theming non-stock launchers, is there a way to install a theme chooser compatible with cm10 and aosp themes?
Thanks

As long as the assets are compatible (have to check drawable-hdpi in each apk) then you should be able to simply push a new SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ I made my own theme for the first ICS release by DMan, and pushed it through ADB and it works fine.
If there are assets missing, or not set up right (EX: missing .9 patches) it could bootloop or cause your SystemUI to crash. So backup before testing, obviously.

So I might get lucky by just pushing systemui.apk from cm9 or cm10?
My goal is to be able to use a theme like cobalt blue for cm10 on a stock rooted rom!

No sir. CM themes use different assets, you'd have to manually mix and match the proper assets to the drawable-hdpi folder of the stock ROM.

ok I found something very close to what I was looking for! Here is a link to what I want to have done!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334922&page=1629
I have attempted to manually paste the items into the rom I'm working on but to wont boot, not will doing this to individual system apk's render them not to work! I read through the thread and it seems that the op isn't responding anymore to the thread!
being you are a very eperienced themer, would it be possible for you to look at this and maybe get this to work for the glide?
I would greatly appreciate this.
if you are able to, here is a link to the rom a friend and I have been working on that we would like to have this them working on!

Its likely not booting due to missing assets. Almost every ROM has different SystemUI/Framework assets. Example, the theme elements in Cyan10 are vastly different than any of our stock roms.
If you want to convert a theme from another phone, it can be done. But its not as simple as just pasting the corresponding apk in. It depends on othee things as well... The glide's main theme file is SystemUI.apk, whereas some phones use Framework-res.apk so there is also that to consider.
Converting themes from another device, you'll have to go in to the theme you want to convert, and match the files up to the theme you're replacing. You'll have to change file names and make sure no files are missing, also make sure you're only using HDPI themes.

stock rom modded with theme chooser

i have a flashable zip of 4.3 pure ota update. i've downloaded the quick setting mod and nexuslouder mod.
i search for a black themed mms.apk with a quick reply. ayone know if there is a new version out? can i extract the mms.apk from cm for example and apply on stock rom?
there is a stock rom modded with adding only the theme chooser?

Theme chooser requires integration into the ROM framework. I don't think you can just flash it.

He's not asking for a flashable theme chooser, he's asking if there is a ROM with only the Theme Chooser..which unfortunately I don't think exists either.

There was one that was basically stock, with a few minor options. I think it was called Crossbones.
You could also look into Xposed Framework mod, which I think has TC abilities.
