Hi
I couldn't have any clear information on this, just some scattered comments embedded within other threads (Darkside) and I was wondering if anyone knew of the installation method and files necessary to install AOSP dialer, contacts, email etc? I really wanted to try them out + I like using the LCD Density modifier so the basic TouchWiz Dialer looks squashed.
Tyvm!
Are you looking for icons for 2.3+ Gingerbread, or 4.0+ ICS?

AOSP apps? for Darkside Evolution B03 ICS 4.0.3
Whoops! I meant 'apps', not icons! Good call!

No, not a theme, but actual AOSP applications: The dialer, SMS, contacts.
But thanks
No, look closer, man!
Heh heh heh!
In the OP, in that Thread, there is a flashable .zip that will give you the AOSP Gmail, Phone, and Contacts .apks. It will theme your Camera.apk, and another .apk (forgot which one...). AOSP MMS is there, as well!
It's a start, at least!

My fault, thank you Supakid
No problem, man!
Glad you found what you were looking for.
Those are all themed black.
Do you guys know where the regular ones are?
I've been looking around but can't find them.

If the ones from the GN work I can probably pull then and attach em here....let me know if that will work

No harm in trying!
That would be great. Can you do that?
-type R blood-
I sure can, here they are:
Phone/Dialer
Contacts
E-Mail
These were pulled from "/system/app"
Let me know how it goes
Thanks but how do I install these. I thought they were gonna be .apk
-type R blood-
They are APK's but they need to be pushed into "/system/app" with Root Explorer or a similar applications.
Make sure you set the correct permissions once you navigate to "/system/app" or else you will receive a permissions error. You set the right permissions by hitting the "Mount R/W" button on top by the navigation path.

By way of the Skyrocket Forums. I've been using these. These aren't themed in anyway i believe.

So running the beta and all is great. However they decided to include the fascinate style mms.apk. I personally find the "bubble" messaging to be aweful.
Anyone that could port the 2.1 styled mms.apk to 2.2 ?

Absolutely. You can take the mms.apk out of the froyo zip and put in the original one if you want, that works.

I didn't try putting it in the zip and flashing. But when I removed mms.apk and cleared dalvik/cache then pushed the Mms.apk from 2.1; however it force closed on tapping on any message/settings, etc. It did open though
Have you done this thomas? If so can you provide the Mms.apk you used?

I haven't actually done it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work to put it in the system/app folder of the .zip. pushing is bound to cause fc errors. Try flashing the attached .zip, it won't touch anything other than replacing the mms.apk with the 2.1 version.

Giving it a try now. Will edit with results.
And thank you Thomas. I really should get around to learning how to make flashables lol. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
EDIT:
As before. The Subtext on the Messages/Compose new message turns the orange color, but tapping ANY of them causes a FC. It must be a problem with the TW3 framework vs. the old 2.5 crap.
Try using the handcent text message app?

Here is one that works. I Kanged it from CM6. Flash through clockwork. And YES you can change the background to black. Change it in the MMS settings
http://www.4shared.com/file/QW0Hs2rE/AOSP_FROYO_Mms.html
For those of you who want the AOSP MMS app then push this file to /system/app and you should have stock style CM6 MMS with the MMS notification in the TW lockscreen. This MMS apk is from CM6 modified to work with TW lockscreen from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829273

You could look at WP7 theme (link in my sig). The bubles are colored there. It might give you the clues you need.

In his sig are all the tutorials to learn how to do it yourself. He said it is easy. I think it is xml editing and knowing the hex code for colors if I remember what he was trying to tell me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Here's a simple way.
1.) Download a theme for EC05 with a messaging app you like.
2.) Open it in 7zip or winrar(do not unzip)
3.) Delete all folders(if any) in the root of the zip except for system and META-INF.
4.) In the system folder delete all folders except app.
5.) Inside the system/app folder, delete everything except MMS apk.
6.) Back out of the zip
7.) Copy to SD, and flash through CWM
Follow that for any system/app.

Good. Grab those tutorials I mentioned in Impaler's sig. Then you can start themeing lots of stuff. The only drawback to themeing non-system apps is they won't update, so keep that in mind if you theme an app that gets frequent updates.
Also Shane's themes often pack them seperately. Check Honeycomb Fusion explosion. It's my fav and the mms theme is very cool.
Glad you got it going. If you don't mind me asking, which MMS did you choose?
Sent from my Samsung Legendary 4G, a Universe UTES Phone, running "two. two"
Well one of the things I hate most is the ugly white in the MMS.apk..Of all the silly options like weather in pulldown etc thats included in CM9/AOKP I was hoping we could at least get a black background option but I guess its more important to see what temp it is outside or to toggle your swagger on/off.
So if you're tired of the ugly white MMS.apk thats clearly neglected then I have the mod for you. This is a transparent modded MMS.apk that is build off travp624's new Mms.apk which combines the best of cm9 and AOKP.
I hope you enjoy this..Just flash the zip in recovery or manually push the apk.
Thanks Section
killabyte at Rootzwiki for his guide because without it I wouldn't have been able to do it.
travp624 at rootzwiki for his new MMS base to use..He did a great job of combinging the best options of cm9 and AOKP.

technically everything works fantastic- it just looked a little odd in conjunction with my wallpaper since it has text on it, and because i'm running my own theme with your mms installed over it. I usually use @android:style/Theme.Holo for inverting MMS. Love the attention to detail- really great!

@android:style/Theme.Holo wont give me transparent though right?
It will if you go into conversation_list_item.xml and conversation_list_screen.xml and set the background to transparent at the topmost linear layout. You'll also have to edit the message_send and receive xmls in /layout to set the same transparency. Here's an example of one i made for my theme using theme.holo:

As stated above, you will need to learn some things in order to get this. But give Android Pro Widgets a try. There's a ton of cool calendar widget themes for the paid version.

Here are my Inverted and Transparent Apps. More will come!! As always make a back up prior to flashing just in case.
Flash the zips using your custom recovery or extract the zip using your file explorer and take the modded apk and replace over the stock one, set permissions, reboot, and enjoy! For Hangouts make sure you cut and paste the libs files and set permissions to match too.

You mean like this? I made the widget completely transparent and the app itself inverted for easier viewing, enjoy!
You will not be able to install this like any apk. I themed this to work as a system/app so you will have to make a folder inside your system/app folder named GenieWidget (exaclty like this). Then take my apk and place it inside this folder, change permissions to rw-r-r, and reboot.

Well I usually like really dark backgrounds to give a good contrast to everything on the screen so the transparent works well with that and looks so clean.. but if I'm using anything lighter than say dark grey, its nice to have the darker tinted widget as well. Appreciate the flashable!

This is amazing! Just curious: why can't it be installed like a regular app? What is different about this apk? News and Weather installs just like any other app nowadays so I am curious why this can't just be installed as another app.
I ask because I would love to install this on my s8 (which is famously non-rooted).
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm also curious how you are going about changing the code for a not-open-source Google app.
Good question and it has to do with altering the source apk and signing,,,after it is themed and compiled it must be flashed as a system app in order to work otherwise it will f/c or not even install at all. If you want this exact type of apk and widget you can download anyone of my themes below and its on them both and can be used on the S8 unrooted.
