[Q] SGS2 Messaging app with themes?

Hello,
I just updated my SGS2 to 2.3.4 today and unfortunately, I seem to have lost the part that I liked the most about the messaging app: the ability to change themes. I really hate the way it looks now and would really like the plain look of one of the themes back.
Is it possible to push the older themable messaging app. to this new firmware and get the theme functionality back?
If anyone has the messaging app that supports themes, could you please pull it and attach it here so I can give it a try?
Many thanks.

+1 I miss the black theme as it goes sooo much better with my current rom. I'd be interested to know if this can be done

True. Let's see if someone can help with this

I use GoSmsPro and it has a few themes

I understand that there are alternatives available but I wish to have the stock messaging app back which supports themes I would really appreciate it if someone could pull it from their phone.

I'd like to have the stock messaging app with themes too (I wa addicted to the "funny" style..., I'm a dumbass I know...)

There should be SOMEONE with the older app

Here's what I tried:
I tried downloading an older KE7 firmware from 18th May and extracted the Mms.apk/odex and MmsProvisioning.apk/odex files and pushed them to /system/app and tried rebooting but that didn't change anything
If I try INSTALLING the new Mms.apk file it says Application not installed even if I try remounting the system as rw

Discussed before in this thread, no joy so far:

In that thread, this guy said he had a solution, but never posted the .apk:

@Cygnuss - you've posted about GoSMSPro in both threads. You're missing the point - as dexter said last time:

Does that bring back the themes in Samsungs SMS/MMS-app? I think not...

There HAS to be a solution

Yes theres a solution, after every new rom install i flash with cwm this mms fix and it restores the message themes.

Thank you so much! You're the man!
For those of you who had trouble with odexed/deodexed, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159920
And get Darky's odex->deodexed converter and install that first using DarkyRom2 Tool (available free on market)

so annoying. i want my old themes back (especially the black one). i'm guessing the app got updated, so i'd be keen to just get the them part back in...

any solution to this?
i want it tooo!!!
there's nothing like this!!

I tried the solution posted above but once you go depdexed you lose hardware acceleration in the browser and it gets laggy as hell. I guess I'm gonna have to keep on hoping for an odex solution

You could go back to 2.3.3 , really what will you be missing out?

[THEME REQUEST] Honey HD port?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!

Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2

It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.

Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.

Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.

That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.

Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

was using this on my previous phone..

this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,

[Q] Q: Can I merge themes together?

ill try to keep this brief, I really like Mattedblues theme, everything except for say the way the dialer looks. Now I really like the dialer from Honeycomb Fusion theme, so my question is this: can I somehow merge the themes by flashing one over the other if I remove the propper file (im guessings either DialerTabActivity.apk or Phone.apk or perhaps both) from the zip?
I searched but didnt see any topics like this, so I thought I might ask before I go screwing my phone up with my shenanigans once more.

Just delete everything from the honeycomb fusion zip except for /system/app/dialertabactivity.apk and phone.apk.
Then flash it after you flash the matted blues theme

there doesnt seem to be a phone.apk in the honeycomb zip.

[Q] [Request] Extract Emoji from MIUI?

As of right now I believe we have bigger things on our Dev priority list, (ahem ICS) but does anyone think its possible for them to extract the MIUI font, or just the emoji from it and create a flashable zip that is compatable with our phones? Not having them gave me a bit of Iphone envy...so I bought a 4 (came to my senses within a week and sold it). I think someone already created a zip but because of the whole sopa/pipa thing wherever they hosted it no longer has it for download. Thanks for help!

Have you tried Go SMS?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

yeah, use it for emoji for text. I wanted them to be seen in twitter and the stock messaging app

I have all of the emoji png's. the problem is "activating" them. I placed them in the framework-res.apk, as they were in the MIUI rom which had emoji working, but since the iOS 5 update, this method no longer works on any rom.

Makes sense

Really? Didn't know you would have to activate the pngs to see them... Lost cause then? kinda like trying to run sense weather on touchwiz.

[Q] Looking for a clean lines looking ROM

1st question is, Are all the ROMs in the Original Android development forum AOSP ROMs?
My next question is, is there a TW ROM without the cartoony look, big buttons, and glowing bold fonts?
Thanks.

Download The People's Rom or Mother Of All Roms... Get Morphology (See thread in Themes section) Pick and choose how you would like it to be. if you don't like something.. Morph it again. Best thing to do. Just try a few out see what works.

Thanks for the response. I'll give "The People's Rom" a try.
Thanks.

No problem, we come here for the help.. and the cookies
in the OP of The People's Rom.. There's a Link for Morphology (current and working on that rom) grab that while your there. Theme it your way.. Enjoy it.. See the Team kernelizers thread in general section for Ktoonz tweaks for that kernel as well. (if you go that route)

I have "Tried" to write a wiki just for what you need. I went through and listed each individual rom and the base it was based off of as well as the Android OS it is from. from there you can go to each rom's page and see a screenshot (if the dev provided it) of each rom. I made this to save some time for new users.

check out qbking77 on youtube he tell u about some of the roms here and show u how to set them up.

I actually ended up with the MOAR ROM since it mentioned MB1. I installed that the other day and wasn't sure if I could use People ROM with it. But I am having an issue using MultiPic Live Wallpaper with this ROM. I have set 5 individual wall papers up but they don't stick.

I cant remember which rom it was i flashed a month or so ago but the dev took out the Live Wallpaper function in his debloating process. I am not sure if MOAR rom did this as well, its worth asking in his thread...

Hmm. Definatly post up in the MOAR thread. (MOAR and TPR are very similar so you can bounce between them with out too much issues) But def ask in there, I haven't personally used the multipic live wallpaper, so i couldn't tell ya. However, i'm sure it's something Team Noobz would help with.

I switched to People's this AM and the multi live wallpaper is working. I don't care for the built in dialer that doesn't return contacts correctly and switched to the Go Dialer. So far I am liking this ROM cleaner lines. I am wondering for the Google Voice integrated users if there is a way to remove Sprint's Voicemail. during the install I made sure not to install anything Sprint but it came through anyways.
