[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?

[Q] Paying for the Custom ROM??

Hi,
I was gifted the Sony Ericsson Arc as a replacement for my current phone the HTC Desire. After using the HTC Desire for the last 1 year , I am finding it very difficult to get used to the Sony Ericsson UI (problems like : no smart dialer, the contacts are all messed up,all the text size is huge, the randomly flickering display etc..).
I was wondering whether there is anyone or any place I can pay money to create a custom ROM. When I say custom ROM I dont mean Cyanogen or others like that (I mean the stock ROM with the proper replacements for dialer,contacts editor, facebook integration etc..) , I just want a ROM on my phone which will look and feel like the HTC Sense UI (again I am not asking for the actual Sense UI, as I understand thats impossible).
Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.

You understand the HTC apps require the sence framework, so they will not work on the arc, there are many other dialer and contacts replacements, you can download from the market, Go dialer and contacts for example is excellent

The makers of TouchPal Keyboard have a smart dialer app called TouchPal Dialer. Haven't tried it out but it's available for free on the market.
The android 2.3.3 update brought Facebook integration to the xperia range.

How does relate to my post?

Thanks for the info.

Sorry, I should have explained. You wanted a custom ROM basically a stock ROM but a replacement for the dialer, right? I was just pointing out an app using which you could replace the stock dialer (and which supported smart dialing).
Facebook integration was another aspect you mentioned.
xboxfanj posted a thread by which you could the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen using Agile Lock. You can find it here.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted a stock arc ROM with the necessary changes; not the HTC ROM. Ooops!
But hey, I got the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen part right. LOL!

Blagus is working on a HTC Sense port for Xperia Play http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174309 once he starts the work it maybe matter of time once we get it for Arc since both are almost similar. If your talking about hiring someone then talk to one of the developers who are willing to accept the offer.

Well that's kind of the problem, I don't know which developer to ask. I can't do a post in the Sony Arc Development sub forum, cause the rules say I can't post Q&A queries in the forums. Is there any one I can ask or PM to find out how to build this custom ROM ??

As anyone else can tell you, a custom rom for the arc maybe a while before all the functions are workable, the camera is the problem, so maybe do as others have suggested and use third party apps to get the experience your after
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

The main problem with custom ROM is going to be Camera function because Arc has the latest Camera technology they haven't released the drivers or source for it so developers can make it work on custom ROM. So we have to wait until someone manage to port one so others can use it.

Thanks for the reply.
However I have explained in my first post that the kind of custom ROM I am asking is based on the stock ROM with appropriate replacements for the dailer,contacts,facebook integration,text size etc... Basically I want to simulate a Sense UI.

Perhaps a theme could you help you out for the time being till someone makes a custom ROM for you? At least you should be able to get similar icons, background wallpaper etc.

[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?

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.

there too. tried it, didn't work

SOLVED.

..

There are a few roms where you can lower the dpi settings (I know you didn't ask that, just in case), others that you can change the type of font - I believe the rcmix is the only sense rom that can do that, but don't take my word for it.
And Gb miui changes the font size.
Anything more specific than that, you'll need to wait for someone else to reply.
Not too sure with the ics versions since I rarely play around with those.

I have seen the new One V, and I must admit there are quite some improvements.
That must be the new android version.
What i particularly like is the fact that you can increase the font size for sms, address book, etc.
Is there any way I can somehow get this on my (rooted) DHD?
Thanks!

On sense 3.5 it is possible to change your sms size by pinching to zoom

Or I don't know if its available in android 4, but if it is, then you could just wait as we will receive android 4 in July-august.

yes you can lower the DPI setting is almost all of NON SENSE roms... in my ICS theres a "Menu>Settings>Display>Font Size", though i nv play around with that coz im pretty satisfied with the current DPI/Font size.

[DIALER]{Multy DPI}[deodexed/odexed]{ICS room}[base on stock room](REQ)

I will like first than any other thing to apologize if you are reading this and you thought finaly a multi DPI stock dialer aviable, sorry i dont have it. I needed a title to guet some readers to see it. Second for my really bad speling.
This post has been created whit one goal:
¡¡¡¡¡MULTI DPI STOCK SAMSUNG DIALER!!!!!
I have scouted xda forums for weeks (months now) to guet one, but this mod just... DOES NOT EXIST.
I have seen this request on replies, new threats, but no one single developer has responded to this call.
If YOU reader support this threat, i will sent a pm to your inbox once i guet one.
Now I will place here what WE are asking for:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
Yes we know there is an stock ics dialer and contacts, some android market apps whit multi dpi aviable free or paid, but we dont want that.
Well that is the reason of this post, but I have seen what people belive, is the PERFECT dialer:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
2. AutoRotate disiable
3. Full screem picture
4. ICS compatible
5. Record call aviable
And going a little bit more... demanding. If a developer decides to guet on this heroe path, on the SAMSUNG STOCK contacts app, the ability to unite more than five accounts to one contact.
Hopefully a great xda dev will become the heroe and provide the apk that many are looking.

I am so with you on this one, for months now I am looking for it, so do wish that one of the Devs will look into this for us all.
Come on guys PLEASE !!!!!!!!

Pls i need the Multi DPI Dialer for my VK Rom cause my phones Dpi is 182 but the integrated Dialer is to small and the number where cut
