Black or dark ICS MMS? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm running Chicago Remix rom, ICS 4.0.4 and i'm looking for a dark MMS.
I've decompiled the MMS.APK through APKTool but i'm no expert user. I don't know how to change the background color or txt color and such.
If anyone can help me I will take the time to attempt to do it myself... I don't mind some trial and error it can always be fun.
Thank you anyone.

I'm not sure if these will work i dont see why they wouldn't but i'm no dev i just saw these the other day and figured i would share
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23960-bubble-themed-mmsapks-various-styles-updated-5-2/

these won't work, have already tried a few so I just wanted to try and theme one myself... Anyone? I'd like to basically change the background color to black, txt to white, possibly make the bubbles look different if thats not too challenging, and making silly smiles.

this is what i'm trying to do basically:

If you manage to whip all that together would you mind and sharing with me and or the community! It looks absolutely amazing.

That is my plan to share it of course. I just need to figure out how in gods name to do it. I tried decompiling that apk but it's signed and I can't get to it. I was simply going to try and a little copy and paste on certain things.

Here is a great guide I found at rootzwiki that gives a step by step tutorial on how to edit the Mms apk: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19845-how-to-theme-your-mms-a-step-by-step-guide/. I found that after I had some help and figured it out. My best advice is to decompile my theme and take a look at it. Most of what you're looking for will be in the layout folder.
If you'd like further help and information you can contact me on GTalk. my email address is nbe[email protected]

Thank you NBeebe24 for all your help and continued support. Here is the first release of my MMS for ChicagoRom and should also work on any UCLE2 rom as well... not tested on them though so i'm not sure..
Here is link:

Good work!

Modified second bootscreen!

My modification of the second bootscreen!
After fiddling around in framework-res/assets/images, I changed the color of the android in the second bootscreen to white, and inadvertently managed to get it to glow red. lol.
Here's a picture and a video, sorry my kodak camera cant take macro video:

edit: figured out why it was glowing red, haha. my robot_boot_glow.png was replaced by one of the cyclon images and renamed to robot_boot_glow.png
Can this be flashed?
yes, I had to modify and flash the framework-res.apk using this command:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
I *knew* android was cylon technology.
who gave you permission to do this before my tut came out lmao jk good job posting tut and a few hr
Works great just did it,good work bro.
your welcome =] i'll do some more searching around on the phone to see if i can modify anything else.
wow, i hv the same camera!
Yeah, not to burst your bubble, but I did this over a week ago on my Orangedroid theme. Can't blame you though, seeing as how my theme just fails to work for others.
I can back up Phromik on this he did do it first...I got to see it....lol I've done it as well, except I modified the whole background. Someone else already did it as well....I'm posting mine so yall can see..
I also know someone else that did it for a theme he is coming out with maybe he will show it here....
Stericson
You know, I was just thinking tonight how cool this would be for my theme, now that I see the background is edited too I gotta find out how to do that, I was just going to change the droid
I just posted my Blue_Star_5 Update an it has a blue droid.

Just wondering, does your android glow? or did you just replace splash2 using the fastboot flash command?

So....since I have no experence in even opening apk files,could you make a noob friendly guide? I have a great idea but I dont want it "sensored" by someone else

Does it work when you try to install the theme?
haven't tried because I want to edit a few things
Bricked my phone when I installed the theme. Any ideas how to fix this? I tried doing a system wipe but doesn't work.
Can you post the background? For some reason the background doesn't show up on my phone anywhere.
Fixed it. I had to reload my sdcard on a blackberry and reapply a different theme.

is it transparent? or does it always have the clouds background? looks pretty sweet to me....
unfortunately it has clouds background. I will make a few more variants.
I don;t know at the moment how could I make it transparent
this app are wonderfull...
To make it transparent you will have to use photoshop or gimp
trust me mate, I tried. But it's not that. If I make it transparent, it will show a black background.... I don;t know how to make it
you can do a version without that dialer image?
Works nice but force closes phone.apk when ending a call. I googled this problem but solution didn't work.still,it works and looks good
Hmmmm... Very nice butt of this Tati... LoL
) this is the default image for contacts without an image allocated.
@RobZarzecki if you have problems, PM me with your phone's original Phone.apk and I will mod it for you

I was trying to modify my stock dialer on my droid x a while back and gave up. I remember seeing a thread about it for the motorola phones though, the color had nothing to do with photoshop. Instead, it was color codes that needed edited in a hex file. I am brand new to samsung, so I'm not sure if that helps you at all. But you got further than I did on the X. Good luck
I am trying to install but no luck, am getting a "not installed" after trying.
Is anyone else experiencing this ?
Cheers, LL-
You use root explorer in market, have copy and paste in system/app

Xperia x8 not working
The apk file whose link you give is not recognised as an apk file by the astro file manager
I take it this won't work on CM7? In that case, could a dev kindly port it over, if possible?
Is the best!

Does anyone implement this in JVS 2.3.5 ??
Really nice phone theme, I like it.

Hi,
It looks beautiful. But can u make a version with default image diferent then this? Cause i got a lady and young sister/brothers that often play in Galaxy S, so as u imagine this kind of image will get me in trouble
Thanks
Is this compatible with any gingerbread rom?
Do you know how to change the transparency of the dialer?.. if yes.. can you pm me the "how to?"...

Font problem

I was trying to create small font (hate big letters) and I got it, but there is one problem. If you check picture you will see that text is kind of up and down - not straight (kind like a wave - see image below). Why and how to fix this? Btw if someone wants to try I am including flashable zip below

Not saying you shouldnt create your own cause thats cool but HERE is a list of over 300 flashable fonts. If you havent got your working yet, id check it out. Ill take a look at yours though and see if I can figure it out.
Thank I know about those, but like I said, I want something small
Ok, I got it. For all people here who love smaller font just like me here is it.
I am including printshots soo you can see how does it look like. Hope someone will like it...
Enjoy !
Great! Looks good toh and I like your wallpaper! If you don't mind me asking, what was the problem and how was it fixed?
I believe font file was bad. Get tired od playing with same file and decide to re-download same font but from other source and worked. Here is my wallpaper attached for you

Ok I am expecting feedback going to sleep now need to get up early... Night.
After playing around a little bit here are my pros n cons:
Pros:
Allows App names with longer names to appear without being cutoff
very clean and legible
lets you see more of the characters of text you are typing
cons:
can make browsing a little more difficult to select links since more zooming is required at times.
if someone has bad eye sight then I wouldn't recommend it
Overall nice font pack! Can really grow to like it. But will probably stick with comfortaa

[REQUEST][PORT] Custom Battery Indicators Port

This is pretty awesome on the regular SGSII
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107095
Could it be ported to our phones? (Specifically Starburst ROM)
Seems like it would be simple because theyre just icons, but would be appreciated
It's really not that hard to do. They're in framework_res. Not being a smartass but why not give it a try yourself? We all have to learn somewhere and this is a good, easy thing to do. Then you won't be relying on others and can make your phone "yours".
FYI: I liked the "bubble" battery in another theme thread and made it work for me.

Glad to hear it. If you got that to work you can edit many other things in Settings.apk or SystemUI.apk as well. They each have a _res folder. Just don't mess with any art that ends with ".9.png". These are art files that require a special editing (you can search xda and find many methods). Failure to do them right and you'll bootloop. Also, keep in mind sizes. Look at the size of something you want to change in the "stock" file and make yours the same. Have fun!
