CM7 and SMS question

Ok so i've installed CM7 RC1 and it looks like the sms icon is chomp? is this correct? and if do can i download themes for it?
I know about handcent and others but i would like to keep it within the sms app and put themes through them rather then download other sms apps.

What are you talking about? CM7 is AOSP only - I seriously doubt ChompSMS has been merged with AOSP. (Android Open Source Project)

Definitely not chomp, pure AOSP.

Ok thanks, ill have to download something. thanks.

Chomp's icon actually looks like AOSP's messaging icon. You might as well Flash CM7 nightly 7 though, quite a few improvements from Rc1 such as 4g, Shiznul's advanced camera options, ability to put battery percentage in bar and an option in the AOSP messaging app to split texts over 160 characters.

Theme Request - Epic 4G - Transparent Everything?

Hey All,
Just wanted to see if anyone had heard of or could create a theme where all the apps / widgets and such were transparent?
Any info would be appreciated and if someone could make one, I would definitely buy them a beer or 2
Thanks.
Avi

I second that!

They can make all the system apps transparent, but not 3rd party apps from the market, there are just too many to handle apps for each person.

This is right.. there is no way to make every market app transparent without doing it one by one.. but for just the basic stuff dreamsforgotten has a pretty clear theme called crystallized I think. You might wanna put in some requests for your most used apps... or they might be floating around some forums somewhere.
cd's or tapes?

There is a thread in the Android Hacking and Development forum that has a huge list of transparent apps. You can go to that forum and just do a search for transparent in the advanced search. I am running some of them now on my Epic and am liking it. It would be cool though to have all the proprietary phone screens and apps transparent too without any frills. For example, the Syndicate Frozen 1.02 (or substitute your favorite ROM here) with all the in phone stuff (non downloaded apps) transparent.
Again, if anyone could do that, it would be awesome.
Thanks.

Ahhh, well. No big deal. I won't complain.

I transparented as much as possible in a theme called froyo window. I even did the background for the system menus like in settings but realized how impractacle it was. The black background that I cleared also hid the status bar when you open apps such as camera, basically anything you opened the status bar was still there but since it was in the "background" you can't access it. If anyone wants to take that theme and play some more with it feel free. I never updated it past di18 but it wouldn't be hard to copy the framework values over to ec05. I'm not volunteering my time to it so don't take it that way lol.

[REQUEST] Themed Messaging Apk

Hey guys,
I'm looking for the stock SMS Messaging App, but without the ugly yellow/blue deal they've got going on. I would prefer a black and white version, but honestly, I just need a change. So if you have any themed stock messaging apk's, please do share!
=]

Solution!!!
Hey, i know what you mean. its just to boring and simple a change is needed. And i have a solution.
Go to the market and download "Go SMS Pro" trust me, you will never need another SMS apk ever!!! there are sooo many features and themes. Its also Highly customizable so you can have that black and white theme your after.

[Q] How to get different themes

As you didn't know I'm new to all this, however I was able to get my phone rooted and loaded with Jugg 4.0 with the ICS theme. My question is when I go to the theme forum there is a thread where people are posting all these different themes. Are they creating these themselves or are they getting them from another sources. I dont see as many themes in the theme forum that are showing up in the theme thread.

The thing is , most themes have to be made for individual ROMs so things don't break ..
Since a new build is out the KL1 , you may not find many themes yet. But be careful, you must make sure that any themes you do find here or other places are compatible with your specific ROM/Build ..
Flashing a theme from the wrong build can cause boot loops or worse ....

Thanks for your replay, so when I see the ADW Launcher app how do I know what ROM that is for?

ADW launcher is an app which works for any rom. It basically allows you to customize your phone however you want it. It has a ton of customization for your home screen and launcher but thats pretty much all it does. I bought it on the 10day sale and i love it. There is also a function in the setting which allows you to search the android market for tons of custom made themes, mostly free but some are paid.

Plus if ur running cm7 it comes with a theme chooser, and that has hundreds of themes

Thanks for the info and the caution on using theme's.
There are a few things that I have noticed from a noob's perspective in regards to theme's. Its clear from the "post your homescreen" thread in the themes forum that there are hundreds of themes out there. It also seems that many of the users are running juggernaut ROM. From what I can see posted in the themes forum, there aren't many themes made specifically with Juggernaut in mind. There seems to be a large difference in the number of themes offered from Jugg in the Theme forum to the number of different themes people are posting in the theme thread. I'm curious as to where people are grabbing these themes from. Is it from the ADW app in the market place?

What you are mainly seeing is Launcher themes and widgets , there are many launchers that can really be customized, and it can make your phone look totally new ... ADW, Launcher Pro, and my favorite Go Launcher EX. With the launchers it is much easier to change Icons, colors and such ... Widgets can change the whole look of your phone as well, something IOS can't do, so iphone people see it and think it is something totally custom when it is simply placing the right widget in the right place, which I think is quite funny ...

Thanks you for the explaination, I think I pretty much have it now.
For the sake of anyone in the future searching XDA and my post comes up. Ultimately like tcboo mentions your going to want to use a launcher you can download from the app market. I downloaded ADW and what was tripping me up with ADW is that its sort of a hidden app in the since there isn't an icon into the your application area to run it. When you hit your home button your phone will ask you if you want to use ADW or TouchWiz as a launcher. Choose ADW however don't set is as default until you are comfotable with it. To get to the setting of ADE you will hit the menu button to the left of your home button and hit more, then click on the more button and select ADWSettings. From here is where you can tweak the settings of the launcher and apply new themes you downloaded from the app market.

[REQ] ICS/JB Whatsapp gradient theme?

Hi,
Recently I installed the MMS JB black theme (it's like native, great job). LINK
Now I'm looking for a Whatsapp theme like this. I've looked all the popular themes but it's not the minimal appereance I'm looking for.
Note: I tried Whatsapp plus also,I can left 80% like the MMS theme.
:good:

I'd say that whatsapp plus is the best option out there but would love to get what you say.
