[THEME][MMS] MMS .apk with 5 themes UPDATE w/ FIX

I found this in another forum,tried it on the E4GT running EK02 and it works. If you use Touchwiz the messaging app will be removed from the dock through the process of renaming the factory mms.apk. To replace the mms icon hit "Applications" on the home screen, then "Menu", "View Type", chose "Customizable Grid" then "Menu" "Edit". Drag the MMS icon down anywhere left of the "home" icon. Hit "Back". If you don't hit back and you hit "Home" the icon won't stick. The home icon doesn't move, so you can only change the three to the left of it unless you have another hack. The MMS icon included in the APK looks like MIUI but I might try changing it. If I do I will update again.

**Update- Ok, I found a bandaid fix for those who want to use this with their current rom. Install SMS Time Fix from the market >>> http://bit.ly/vsmoUg << In the settings activate by ticking the box on the top of the screen. Click Adjustment Method and choose Use Phone's Time. Golden. You now have several themes for you message app. Tested today on Stock Deodex'd and Epic VeNuM roms. I tested all the apks.**
#1 Removed Temporarily
#2 Is Miui Icon http://bit.ly/txmSmZ
#3 Is ICS theme/no theme switcher/AOSP icon http://bit.ly/rLUgah
Let me know how it goes.
All credit goes to other people really. And thanks to crawrj and AbsoluteZeroGI for their time and giving me some ideas. I am looking for a real fix and will post it as it comes to me.

I can mess with it later. I didn't try the ICS version myself, but look for something in the settings... If I can find the problem I will fix it and repost the apk.

I'm glad it worked for you. Now many people care about stock apps or light themeing but I'm tired of all the launchers changing and etc, so I am stock for a while. Which version did you try? Boring or ICS?

You have timestamp problems? I am going to try the original one. I like the ICS one, but incoming timestamps were off. Outgoing were Ok though.

def need to try one of these. anyone having any mms issues?

Timestamps work for IN and Out for me. I am using the apk I attached.

I pasted into system/app. After that did you actually install? I just adjusted the permissions and rebooted. Maybe that's my problem?

Send and receive are fine but it looks like the ICS version has a problem with the timestamps. The vanilla versions work fine. The file from the other thread has a MIUI icon, this file has a stock icon.

Originally I pasted and renamed as per the instructions on the other thread. But I used adb from then on and did NOT install the last time I pushed the file. Also, I used the push command, not the install command. Seems like it's just the ICS apk. Try asking in that thread. The OP there might know more about it. Thanks for trying. I'll have time to check it out later so if I can fix it I will.

Samsung stock icon is brownish and white. I can try to make it green though.

Ok, I tried the version posted in this thread and the other two apks in the other thread. All had problems listing the correct incoming time stamp.
I went back to my original apk and everything is working Ok again?
I'm running Calkulin's 2.0.1 ROM. That's the only thing I can think that might be causing the problem. I wish I could get the ICS version working. I liked it.
I did post in the original thread to see if I could get an answer there. I will update in this one if I find a solution.

I'm asking to be clear. When you say timestamp is off do you mean wrong time or no time shown? Works perfect on stock rom. Sorry you guys are having a tough time with it. I might try the ICS theme just to see.

I sent a text at 1:47pm to my buddy. He replied back and his timestamp was 8:50am. Should have been 1:50pm. So it was off by 5 hours.
And not your fault, appreciate you posting it and trying to help.

Nope. Extract the file to /system/media/notifications

Had to rename it as an existing notification but now up and running on my Galaxy Nexus. Thanks.

Can a very kind person post up the notification ringtone "HI" ? I googled everywhere and cannot find (its a little 3-tone beep)..... many thanks

Ive gotta laugh at the whistle notification sound every message i get wether it be sms, email i always get a strange look from whoever be walking past me puts a smile on my face though lol

I don't know if you still need it, but here are all notificiation sounds from the ICS ROM i use Didn't know which one you meant, so I just uploaded all

Thanks for helping Kevin but there still no HI notification in your zip.....
The tone I hoped to find is like sherbet but is a little quicker and higher tone ........ I was on cm7....then installed the early builds of cm9.... and found this great notification tone called HI....... was using it and was very happy but when updated to a newer experimental build I lost it and googled everywhere and cannot find...... its so strange.... I don't know where to look.......searched all XDA and downloaded everything but not that tone.....
I'm not complaining at all as I have gone with another tone waterdrops....but HI is still my favourite and seems like I lost it forever....... I did backups before and did too many so I had to delete some so I cannot go back to previous versions just to pull out that ringtone.....

yay i was looking for this, thanks!

http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2
here you find all the nightlies. if you remember when it was i would recommend to download that nightly again and extract it (just open it with winrar/7-zip or whatever )

[APP][REQ] SGSII Stock Clock/Alarm app apk for Galaxy Nexus

Hi All, I originally had a SGSII and then sold it and changed to the Galaxy Nexus just before Christmas. Now the one thing I absolutely miss is the brilliant Stock Alarm clock, which had the options to do pre-alarms and other stuff and basically just worked and even managed to wake me up which most dont seem to do that well.
Does anyone have the apk that they could point me to as would love to see if it works in my new phone.
Thanks in advance,
GD

Just wondering if there is a way I can extract it if I download a copy of the stock ROM? I'll pop it up somewhere for others once I get it out since I've spotted a number of posts asking for the same apk.
Its good to share
GD

Hello
I was searching for the exact same thing, cause i have the exact same problem! Did you find a way to do it?
I download one other alarm app but i dont like that solution, id rather have a native alarm clock with that integration, pehaps can't we notify android team to put it as a upgrade? Also, the app ive downloaded doesnt bring me the same experience i had with gs2's alarm... I have trouble trying to waking up but that alarm clock seems to resolve it..
Please keep us informed!
=]

Hi vpena, glad its not just me
I've not had the chance yet to work out if there is a way to pull it from a stock rom, but will have time probably Friday to do the leg work. If I get anywhere I'll be sure to post it here for others to benefit from.
GD

Here it is, ripped from the ICS leak. I bet it won't work on a GNexus, since it probably relies on the TW-Framework.
Don't install through ClockWorkMod or open the apk on your phone, the zip file contains an apk which you should push to the system/app folder. You should probably know that already though.

Thank you! Using it on Spike's awesome ICS ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451346.

Thanks xethor, I'll give it a shot anyway as there is no harm in trying.... I looked at Gentle Alarm but it was just too much of a faff and over complicated for what I want....
Cheers, GD

Unsurprisingly it didn't work, but do appreciate people getting involved and hopefully someone will benefit from having the apk.
Cheers, GD

Hey thanks a lot for your efforts.
When you say open up a ROM, do you mean this package can only be installed into a new ROM before being flashed?

Before flashing you can add it into the ROM yes.
Or you can just flash it.

So I tried to just take out the gallery and contacts apk's and install them on the device. The gallery worked fine but the contacts says "there's already a package with the same name already exists" or something similar.
If do this by flashing the zip will it overwrite the existing do you think?
Thanks again

What I was saying is.
Delete the same names .apk's in the /system/app folder.
Then just drag and drop the following /apps in my folder into the ROM then flash the ROM.

Aha, got ya. My only worry with flashing is losing what I've done so far as it's taken ages to customise all the sounds, icon positions etc. It's currently in a state of pure zen
Something tells me though, you're about to say "use <some tool> to back up first". in which case, will it remember where all my launcher folders, icons and sounds?

I'm not sure on that one haha.

Well thanks anyways, I now have the standard gallery. Only the contacts/dialler remain. Which actually isn't too bad, except the way the Favourites and Contacts tabs swap position when you click on Contacts. What idiot did that!!

Ah!
When I get the phone I'll be working on a pure AOSP clone.

That would be fab, though there are some really nice things about this ROM, which I'm hoping will be installable since Samsung released the source of the ROM. The things I'd like to keep are:
Water unlock and quick shortcuts to phone/camera/browser
Smart alert - phone vibrates when you pick it up if you have notifications
Smart stay - tries to detect eyes just before screen timeout to keep screen on
Turn over to mute/pause (when someone rings or playing music)
Direct Call - Move phone to ear when on sms/contact and it auto dials
Power control in the notifications (better than any I've seen)
Power saving mode (toggles cpu/haptic/etc)
Scan with side of hand to take screen shot
Anyways, look forward to you getting one, both for your sake and mine

I'll be keeping the Stock Samsung ROM w/ AOSP look/apps.

thanks for this. is it possible to get the stock dialer?

Did you remove the other types?
Like I said earlier in the OP?

Great work mate!!
I didn't install via recovery but renaming the Samsung apps with a .bak extension and rebooting gave me the standard apps.
The apps you provided are already in /system/apps but you need to get rid of the Samsung ones first (as you said) in order to activate them.
Only thing I'm missing is the phone application would be great if you could upload that??

How do I invert stock ICS SMS

I was able to get it installed and working with root explorer but I don't see a way to make it inverted/dark themed.. Although it is still better then the stock touchwiz one..
Stupid samsung and not having pinch to zoom built in.

It won't work that way,after you put it in you have to set permissions to rw,r,r like this :
Read the directions in the thread I pointed you to it will explain how to do it and you could re-name the mms apk to SecMms for good measure.Lemme know how it works out for ya.Make sure unknown sources is checked in menu-system settings-security just in case and you have to have read/write permissions in whatever root explorer you are using so when you change the permissions for the .apk it sticks after reboot.

So it doesn't work to do it like this? It worked for the one I have right now replacing it.. but that one isn't inverted.
Also I need to have it as Mms.apk because that is the only way the swipe to message from contacts will work. Also I have a nandroid backup and backed up on my dropbox so its all good.
I'll try to do yours with the different permissions.

So it didn't work.. it forced closed when I tried.. I tried some other ones I found and they all had the same bugs as they had before I changed the permission just now.

If you are on an ICS rom and are looking for an ICS stock type messing app than they are different.The one you posted looks like a cm9 aokp etc.... messaging apk.They look different.A stock ICS mms.apk has the bubbles text.The .apk I pointed you to is a dark background with bubbles txt.Not the standard white background like on some of the ICS roms.

The reason I don't want the touchwiz one is it doens't have pinch to zoom on the pictures. The stock ICS one I have does. If it was holo dark themed it would be perfect.
The APK you gave me didn't even launch/work.

Hey I am still happy that I got pinch to zoom working.. Would be nice if I got a black themed one *and it is easy to do that with the built in one* but atleast I got the important part that samsung derped and didn't do.
Edit: For those that want to apk for if you are looking at this when I post it or via google I have attached it.
Pinch and zoom works, and it works with the contacts swipe to message as of posting of this. (I am on ICS)

Anyone know why the text inside my bubbles are light rather than dark?
