Just saw the AT&T SGS2 MMS app recently. I like the way it looks and think it would be a fun change of pace from the T-Mobile MMS app (stock TouchWiz).
Is there a way to load the AT&T SGS2 MMS.apk onto our phone over the regular MMS.apk?
Go a couple pages back you'll find it

I hate to ask, but how many back should I be looking. I went back to page 6, but I couldn't see anything that looked like it would apply to what I was looking for.
Could you help point me toward the right post?

Just an FYI...that gave me the blurriest pix ever. From my own testing....using Zombie 2.2 ROM with the mms.apk file it comes with and Handcent is the best combination to go, since this fully supports WiFi calling sending and receiving with no postage sized compression, or blurry mms. Just my 2c....
Yes, I liked the app itself, but not the quality it gave me.
Open them both with 7zip and move the message bubbles from the at&t MMS.apk to the tmobile MMS.apk

When you say "Open them both", What files are you talking about?
Please advise?

I would like to change some of my app icons could anyone help a total nube?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Edit: I'm going to put together the information I've learned from asking this question and the links and post them here thanks to everyone that helped me I know I still have allot to learn so anymore info would be greatly appreciated
There are a couple options afaik.
You can use ADW Launcher, which will let you choose any picture/logo/icon for any app you put on yr homescreen. I use almost all Launcher Pro icons in my ADW Launcher.
Or, much more involved and complete, rip open the apk in question and replace the icon with one of ur choosing.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I was thinking of trying to open the apk because I like sense but not shute what programs I need or what to look for but I'm willing to learn.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You really just need the program 7zip.
After you have it set up, right click on any apk, highlight 7zip, and pick open archive. The icon you'll want to change is in res/drawables andshould be called icon. Be sure any new icon you put in there is the same format, size and name. I have never made my own icons, just used others, I recommend icons from droidicons.com/launcherpro That may not be the exact page, but Google it if you like the minimalist theme.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Thanks I'll give it a try in the morning I'm trying to use riptide's glass icons just to make everything match but I think I'll look at the others you suggested too and post some screens when I'm done

change icons
You need a program called NinjaMorph its not hard to learn biut once you do you can google any image and use it as an icon to the apk of your choice.
****, Ninjamorph looks like a sweet idea, haven't used it yet, but may have to give it a try.

Keep in mind that NinjaMorph only works on System Apps and does not work on Market Apps. If you want to change Market Apps the only way to do so is to open the apk and insert them.
[Obviously, you could use an alternative launcher but that only changes the icon on your home screen and not in the Apps Drawer]

Yeah, I have always just used 7zip to edit the apk's before install.

Sorry, there is a bit more to it.
You also need to delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
I use this signing tool APK Signing Tool
It's an edited version of a zip signer. I didn't make it, got everything from this old thread Editing APK's

Thanks good thread. So using these will rewrite the meta file that I delete? After I do this I assume that the market apps will have to be manually updated and edited again.

Yep, a new meta-inf is built for you.
When there's updates for apps, it sucks, gotta redo everything
I went through and did all mine to Launcher Pro style icons, thought I was done, then the updates start rolling in and screwing with everything. Now, when I try a new ROM, I just preload it with all my edited apps before flashing, makes for a bunch of work up front, but it sure is nice to just flash, sync, and go. Then I disable all updates until it looks like something important is fixed/added.
And slightly off topic, what's the deal with market app developers putting out like 27 updates every week, driving me crazy. I know I have a lot of apps, but it seems like every time I look, 19 updates available. And I gotta go look at change logs and waste all my precious time at work when I should be getting stuff done, it's all their fault when my crews production runs low
I know exactly what you mean but it seems like some of them update everyday. Thank you for all the help was hopeing to be finished tonight but my nice just crashed my computer but as soon as I get it back up and going I'll be good the one good thing about it is it gives me a chance to do a dual boot with linux

Yup Yup, I almost **** myself last night thinking I got it all figured out. Then I tried to call the local time/weather hotline because it was colder than a mug & noticed I couldn't make a damned call. Good times.......
I got this too work with no problem. Once you download it, with root explorer copy the current contacts.apk and place it into a spare folder. Once done, rename the ics dialer so it shows Contacts.apk and then copy it. Navigate to /system/app and change to mount r/w, click paste. Select the ics contacts.apk and select install, agree to have it overwrite and then it may come back as not installed. Click home and you will notice your phone and contacts icons are gone. If you go into the app drawer you will see the ics apps. They function without any fc's for me so far

Well I followed your steps here and everything functions for the most part except when I try to make a call and then hit the phone icon to make the call, I always get a fc. It either doesn't recognize the key press as I don't see the phone icon light up green or it does light up green, the icon stay's lit then still get a fc.
Otherwise I can make call directlys from the contacts fine. Seems to be a issue with the phone button function as I can use all the other buttons fine on the keypad, text button works fine as well as the end, speed dials work too. Well, almost there anyway. I'm going to restore by backup contacts until this gets figured out, otherwise I'm pretty excited about the new look of the dialer.

i really dont have the time to go right at it. but i'll work on it slowly i guess
glad its working for everyone so far tho enjoy.

That would be amazing on some of the ICS themes out now. Would definitely download that.
I've been looking at how to do this since day 1. It's nearly impossible for myself to get it to compile correctly after editing some XMLs. I've tried numerous edits but none go through. I haven't tried EL29's mms.apk yet, though.

Would THIS work for our phone? I am running JediX12 ROM but Im assuming it would work for any ROM and work in general as I poked around inside the apk with ninjamorph and an xml editor and found all the needed things to change. I just cant seem to get it to work and I would really love this mod simply for the SCREEN ON/OFF toggle. I hate that the screen turns on with a text and right now Im using SMS Pop Up to band-aid the problem but this would be a permanent fix! I'm sure other users would love this feature too! Plus there are a bunch of other cool features that could be implemented too, idk why Samsung didn't do this off the bat! Could someone with more experience upload a modified APK for me/all of us?
Thank you
Anyone have any ideas?
Well I know the screen on/off bit works on the T-Mobile UVALL4 4.1.1 SecMms (it's included in Tweaked fwiw), so I would imagine it to work on the international-based ones as well.
I figured it would work but I didn't know for sure. Problem is I can't figure out how to do it...I tried following the directions and I just can't figure it out I can't get the app decompiler to work. I messed with the xml using NinjaMorph on my phone and the things are there to make this work but I don't know how to do it. Maybe I will download Tweaked and just pull the apk out of there.

You are on JediX12 yes? How about post that SecMms.apk here and I'll just mod it for you and you can see if it works? My opinion is it's better to stay on the same base/build with this sort of thing - though that's nothing more than my opinion.
