SMS Themes missing? [KPN]?

In the Messaging app when you pressed menu there was a SMS theme, for the Conversation Bubbles in Froyo, I was just wondering if it's only KPN that has these missing or does KPH, I suspect KPH is missing them too because it's older, I actually used these and Samsung removed them.. Im going to email them and ask where it went..

Yes, they did remove the sms themes in GB. Noticed it the first time I flashed to kph.

No way to patch it back?

Hi, I found a way to change SMS Themes(should work in any 2.3.3 rom).
The method may slightly convoluted but it works and the required Root and Root Explorer.
1. Download the MMS.apk file from http://hotfile.com/dl/125135991/4e5073b/Mms.apk.html by vertcam9.
2. Copy the file on the memory card.
3. Turn Root Explorer, go to SDcard and select Copy on MMS.apk click back button then go to the root.
4. Find the system/app/ set the mount at Mount R/O and find there oryginal MMS.apk file and change name to MMS.apk.bak.
5. After this paste previously copied file MMS.apk Paste option and change the permissions for Owner = Read, Write, Group = Read, Others = Read.
6. Restart the phone.
7. In the list of messages click on the option key and choose Send Again in the lower right corner. Menu appears on the skin changes click there and choose Theme what you like.
8. We go to the message and placed a check if the skin, if everything went ok should be changed.
9. Turn Root explorer go to system/app/ find there file and delete the MMS.apk
10. Change the oryginal file name to MMS.apk.bak to MMS.apk and restart the phone.
After this, we have the original MMS.apk with message theme.
If you want another theme repeat steps 1 to 10

not work in 2.3.4

Read! (should work in any 2.3.3 rom)

noway for working on 2.3.4?

Must we do step 9 and 10? I got working mms.apk with theme from step 8.

[Q] DoCoMo Status Bar v4 & Task Switcher/Does this work on ZL?

Has someone already tested this Mod on the Xperia ZL?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202383

Yes it works !!!!!
Yes I installed it, tested it and can confirm it works on the Sony Xperia ZL.
First I rooted the phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
Then I download the files to computer then to my SD Card/external storage on smartphone.
Back up all necessary file from system/app such systemui.apk, systemui.odex, taskswitcher.apk, settings.apk and settings.odex files to my sd card/external storage in case it went wrong.
Deleted the systemui.odex and settings.odex files.
Copy on files at a time for example the systemui.apk file to the system folder then changed the permission to rw-r--r-- then delete and move the the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder. I did the same for teh other files as well.
Finally reboot the smartphone and voila it should work.

Thank you for your explanations, because I also have the problem.
I have some questions:
1. I did not use this method to root, which for me is more complicated. Is that my problem may be here?
2. What recovery are you using?
3. can you detail me this because I do not understand:
"Copy on files at a time for example the systemui.apk file to the system folder then changed the permission to rw-r--r-- then delete and move the the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder. I did the same for teh other files as well.
In the topic, asked to remove only two files."
Thank you to you for your help

Compare to other method to rooting I looked this is by far the easiest to root without unlocking the bootloader as well. It only takes a minutes or two.
Sorry I have not used any recovery as of yet apart from android software such as backup pro or backup and restore.
When you downloaded the files from here in Zip or WinRAR format I used I extract the three files systemui.apk, taskswitcher.apk and settings.apk to your computer/laptop then connect up your Xperia ZL to the computer/laptop then copy or move these files to your Xperia ZL on your sd card.
You need to download something like android app like file manager and make sure the settings on file manager is set to root.
Now I used the file manager copy the systemui.apk to the system folder then I press on systemui.apk to press option for permission to change the permission with the with the first column all boxes ticked for read and second column only the top for owner is ticked for write, all other boxes including the third column for execute is left unticked.
Now I move the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder replacing the current systemui.apk. I used the same method for settings.apk and taskswitcher.apk files. Once you done that reboot your smartphone.

You need to be rooted and i recommend use root explorer

2) Copy that apk to your SD card and install it as a normal user app (Like a usual APK)
3) Go to /Root/Data/Data
4) Find the app then go to it and open the folder (eg. com.android.camera - Camera)
5) Go to file called "lib" in the folder (com.android.camera)
6) You may find one or multiple files in it. (eg. abcd.so ) copy it or them to your SD card
7) Uninstall the app and reboot the device
8) Take the apk from SD card and copy the apk to /Root/System
9) Select the file and change the permissions of the apk under select permissions
10) Tick all the boxes under read and only the first one under write and click ok
11) It should look like rw-r--r--
12) Then cut the Apk and pate it to /Root/System/app
13) Copy the the Lib named like. (Eg - abcd.so) to /Root/System and change the permission like you did with earlier apk but cut (Eg. abcd.so) it and paste it to /Root/System/lib
