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...

theme porter... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
update.zip packager... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
what i do.
get theme
get rom.
extract both.
place needed files in correct "new" and "old" folders..
run script..
move "new" folder back into cm7 unzipped folder where you took them from.
rezip into flashable zip..
if you google how to make a flashable.zip you should get a link to xda somewhere.
has a script too that does it for you. then just flash in cwm.
p.s. im workin on this right now. ill try to upload tonight. if not tomorrow after work.
Lol funny thing is I ported this for myself already, I just got winrar and replaced the SystemUI.apk images, and the framework-res images, and if you want the apps stuff too then replace those as well and done.
When I tried to flash it a week or two ago it made me loose service, so I had to do it that way and such, although I do not understand why it would make me loose service

I will add it to the latest nightly, although I have no idea if this will let me upload a entire rom o.0
if cimer doesn't get it i'll continue work. kinda more of a learing process right meow.
i got everything themed over. i guess i should include the apks from the themed rom, and not the ones in cm7 since they don't show up themed when i open them i.e. dialer, market etc.. threw it together quickly. boot animation, notification bar and font taken care of. i'll continue tomorrow.
if this works, pretty sure it will.. i'll start porting more themes.
Awesome.....
Is there any way to add the zip as just a flashable theme, rather than part of a full rom? I am currently only using CM7 RC2, not any of the nightlies.
Anything I can do to help, plz let me know!
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Yes there is a way to just do a flashable zip, although since I have no idea what caused me to loose service I did it directly with the Rom. I will play around with it tonight when I have time.
If you want to do it your self you just need the latest nightly, the latest matted blues and just copy things into the appropriate folder using winrar. It's really simple.
Edit: @shady if you want to do it you can, I have yet to get started.

Well this morning I got the theme ported... the best I could anyways. I'm by all means no sort of dev or themer.. I just like to tinker. but I got the theme ported.. only thing I noticed was lockscreen icons weren't themed.. idk if they are or not originally in the evo theme.. and in setting the "highlight" or whatever its called was still the orange color.. honestly idk how to change any of those. Like I said I only tinker.. but id say like 95% of the theme ported over just fine.. I was using it, but flashed back to lucid theme on my way to work. Ill work on this and see if I can make the update.zip just the theme and not a full rom...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Mine were not original either it's alright the lock should be blue and a couple of other tweaks,
The whole theme works great by copying the icons and imgs in framework res.apk. to the cm7 framework and over writing it. I have tried the theme porter method but apk manager works the best so far that I've tried if I get permission from developer I will post the theme later tonight. I only have it up to build 19 though

1) Get Winrar
2)Download the ROM you want to flash
3)Open the rom with winrar (Avoids resigning it yourself)
4)Replace the Framework-res.apk located in system/framework with the theme you want
5)Replace the SystemUI.apk located in system/app with the theme you want
6) Close the window
7) Put it on your SD card to flash, remember always make a backup just in case.
Also note if you want the themed icons for apps just replace all the apps in system/apps
This is for people that want to use it personally, you would need to contact the dev. in order to release it to everyone.

This does NOT work. Atleast not for me. I downloaded CM7 RC2 and downloaded CM7RC2 version of MattedBlues. I tried 3 different variations.
1.) I replayed all files from mattedblues into the cm7 rom folder. This allowed me to boot into CM7 with the theme applied, HOWEVER, I had no internet connection and I get about 3-4 FC during the google apps setup
2.) So I tried being selective and only copied framework over and a few of the apps in the app folder. Maybe 3 or 4 apps, like gmail, systemUI, phone etc. This didn't give FC, instead it wouldn't let me have internet connection.
3.) So I just followed the guide exactly and copied only the framework over and the systemUI over. This caused no internet and almost immediate FC on google apps setup. So I just went back to MIUI.
P.S. I tried two different kinds of GAPPs. I tried the ones that come with CM7 rom in the ROM Manager and I tried another GAPPs I downloaded previously for Iceandfire. Just to experiment. Both failed in the same way.
Thanks for the try though. I would LOVE to see a real port of this rom. One of the best (if not the best) looking themes out right now.
I've ported MattedBlues to the G2 just for you guys. Pick it up at the official thread here.

1. Includes 5 Lockscreens - Android, Glass, Puzzle, Epic, Rotary
2. Built on Stock Framework and Stock Settings App.
3. Puzzles are now working on the Glass Lockscreen.
4. Lockscreen Wallpaper now works on ALL Lockscreens!!
5. Puzzle Lockscreen is modified to show glow effect when the Puzzles are touched. (Thanks to Crysis21 for fixing the bg image)
6. Fixed few Force Close issues on Rimmer1966 lockscreens.
7. Framework Includes CRT Off Animation, Extended Power Menu, Overscroll Glow and Battery Percentage mod.

Or maybe you can teach me how to mod it by myself.

This mod includes edits for framework-res.apk too. Hence, if you omit that, you will get FCs on boot due to missing resources.
I suggest you to decompile the provided framework-res.apk and make your required theme edits and recompile it back, or you can do it vise versa. Decompile your theme, copy the files from the source code and recompile it

Hi.
I had a look at your modded launcher from post #1 and it seems you are familiar with apktool!?
You only have to edit AndroidManifest.xml, change nosensor to user (see below)
Code:
android:screenOrientation="user"
What I read in this thread, it seems you have the same problems I had with my modded launcher

It may happen that the first flash won't work (even with an alternative launcher installed). If that happens, restore the original launcher and retry again. Another thing I don't have an explantion for...

Second time you flash the modded launcher it should work (I don't know why).
And don't forget to install another launcher while flashing
Hope that helps
I can upload an edited apk when I'm back home, but it seems to be easier if you try by yourself (as I don't have a Galaxy Ace to test).

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.

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.

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.

A while ago I tried to find a fix for using dark themes (saves battery life) but MMS text always turned out black on black. Making it unreadable.
So after a some investigations I am happy to say I have a fix that works with sending images
The CM10.1 version works with Shpongle for me fine so far.

Just tried this one, with much better effect, works better with more themes

i use the one from black jelly 2.2
Curious,
just installed this and the icon on the homescreen is still that green default native app one.
I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:
Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did
Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

Just replacing the one in the Rom with the dark one and flashing the Rom did it for me. No permission stuff, just renamed it. And flashed the Rom. aside from pulling the native app from the Rom zip. That is

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?
Thanx for sharing!!!... But i cant find mms.apk anywhere... Is it in rom zip??? If yes, plz if u have, can u share the direct links for apk...

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.
