[MOD] Transparent Notification Bar CM7

I just found this mod over in the Desire HD forums and it works on our phones to. Its a simple flashable zip that make the notification bar transparent. I take no credit for this at all, all credit goes to gimj01
I have tested it out and it won't work if you have a theme selected in the theme chooser and if you have a flashable theme applied for will just get FC's after you reboot. I would recommend doing a nandroid before flashing.
If your using ADW you need to disable wallpaper hack under system prefrences.

Reboot on recovery and flash .zip.

Not bad
In general, it's a clean look. Needs improvement as it display a bit weird when you are looking at the drawer. The notification pull down also looks a bit odd as well since color change, text overlap.

[MOD] Remove the annoying ongoing WiFi Connected notification

Another I'm not sure why in the hell AT&T or Samsung did this. Its pretty annoying, I'm pretty sure we know that we are wifi, and you guys do not need inform us the ENTIRE TIME...anyway...
Flash in recovery. I have tried to test every aspect of the Settings since decompiling to make sure there are no FC's so If you encounter any please let me know.
This should work with or without being de-odedex. However please delete the "SecSettings.odex" file in /system/app after flashing.
Click Me
Enjoy! - and press thanks

Thanks man! Very annoying "feature" I noticed coming from stock Rogers ROM. Do you know if you'll be working on something similar to remove the carrier logo in the notification bar as well? It's also another thing I noticed coming from the Rogers ROM

So in the mean time, I'm just throwing out small things . :good:

thanks for your mods running great so far on stock

On the stock ROM it didn't work until I deleted the secsecurity.odex file. Works like a charm now - thanks so much for solving one of the most irritating minor annoyances on this phone!

Sorry for being a NOOB, But base on the instruction, after flashing it, we are to delete the SecSettings.odex file in system/app.
After flashing it with TWRP, I went into ES File Explorer to look for it and cant find it.....Am I doing something wrong?

[Q] Possible to install AOSP Messaging app on TouchWiz ROM?

Hi all,
After trying out CM10.1, I've found it to be a little too unstable at this early stage and have flashed back to Wanamlite. I can live with TouchWiz for now, but the one app on TouchWiz I really can't stand is the Messaging/SMS app.
Is it possible to flash an AOSP/vanilla version of the Android messaging app onto my phone?
Would it need to replace the TouchWiz one, or would it work side-by-side with it?
Where could I get an up to date AOSP SMS app?
Any help would be great!

Thanks mate I saw that - but seems to have a few bugs at present. Was wondering if it was possible to get the app another way.

Its possible. It replaces the tw version. There is one in themes/apps section for the sprint s3. You have to push the file to system/app. Rename it and set perm.

Works a treat. A little bit different to the steps they advised though; putting mms.apk in the system/app folder with the correct permissions wouldn't work - I could put it in there, but the application wouldn't actually load when rebooted.
I then tried installing it as an APK, but no go; Android said there was another system app installed. So I moved secmms up one level, rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and now it's fine.

Hi All,
Try this version. I took this from the S3 AOSP Codec ROM which is version 4.0.4~ish. Works great on my S3 (GT-I9300) with XXELL4 ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
It has:
- Dark theme (4.2 theme I think)
- Emoticons
- emojis

it needs to be a system app so copy it over to /system/app and set ownership and permission as root:root 644/rw-r-r

[Theme] Alternative Conversation Skins [V1.2]

Hey guys, I'm a relative from the AT&T LGOG community.
I made a small (amateurish) theme for the mms.apk for my phone and wanted to try and port it to the sprint variant.
I used the LGUSMms.apk from a deodexed ZV9 stock ROM (posted by b-reezy HERE).
I do not have the Sprint LGOG and therefor have not been able to test this.
Some great users have tested and reported it works. Thanks guys.
LINK to original AT&T thread.
I have spent the last 2 days re-theming the conversation skins for the stock LGUSMms.apk.
I was inspired by whiteguypl's theme HERE.
This has his dark holo theme included. (Has the same little issue where the text color of links that people send you is the same as the background color).
(If you have an issue with this whiteguypl, please let me know).
I have included screenshots for all the themes.
I know they are a little rough, I am still brand new to themeing.
This was some pretty tough work (mostly because I had to learn a lot and made a few mistakes in the process).
Usual Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any harm done to your device from flashing this.
I have flashed it fine on my phone without issues but cannot promise the same for you.
This replaces the LGUSMms.apk from /system/app/, so I strongly recommend either a system backup in recovery or at least making a copy of your LGUSMms.apk before installation.
Install via recovery.

Are you on a deodexed rom?
If not, maybe try renaming /system/app/LGUSMms.odex to LGUSMms.odex.bak (I'm assuming this is the name of it).
Then reboot.
I had a user say that that worked for another mod on a stock odexed rom.

Right, if you are deodexed there shouldn't be a .odex file, so there shouldn't have been anything to rename (if you renamed the .apk then the system won't see the app anymore, you'll want to change it back).
Did you try changing the conversation skin at all? Maybe one just didn't work (my guess it would be the blue striped background, the image names were different).
Can you try copying the THIS file (just the .apk in the .zip, maybe the .zip didn't flash right) to /system/app and making sure permissions are set to -rw-r--r--.
You'll have to reboot every time you change an app in there.
Thanks, and sorry it didn't work like it should have at first, I appreciate the help.

By copying the .apk or something else?
If so, maybe the .zip was messed up.
I'm thinking maybe the script is not mounting the partition correctly due to differences between the AT&T and Sprint versions.

Looks like that may have been the issue, changed the script, updated to V1.2.

And I was hoping to do more, but don't know when (see above) and was also hoping to fix the text color issues. I have been looking around in the .xmls and think I may have found the link colors, but I have yet to find out where the colors are set for individual skins (ie. the green "nature" theme has blue text in it because the original paper skin had blue text in it, I haven't been able to find where that is set).

Just wanted to give you an update, changed ROM's and flashed V1.2 and it worked perfect.

Works great wish we had more color schemes or choices

Touchwiz Theme Enabler and Theme Collections

Not really sure if this has been posted before, but I got this theme enabler to work on T-mobile Note 4 running Rapture ROM v3.0.
None of this is my work, I will just post the links, please give thanks to the original creators:
Theme Chooser.zip and theme collection by SuperFast&Famous Team:
I just flashed the ThemeChooser.zip, cleared cache and dalvik, and everything worked fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-collections-touchwiz-launcher-t3017968
Galaxy S6 theme: I just installed the apk, and it showed up in my themes menu.
Galaxy S6 Theme
And finally, here we have another theme enabler, with a few more themes. I also followed the steps to install this theme enabler, but I noticed no difference from the zip i flashed earlier.
Make sure you set permissions for the folders as rwx-rx-rx and the apps (themes) inside the folders as rw-r-r.
From the package I downloaded, the chinese classic theme was missing but the other three worked after fixing permissions:
Theme enabler, lollipop theme, Note 4 pro theme, G3 theme
And here are a few more confirmed working on my phone:
Custom Themes by CasTTeLLo
As far as these themes go, they seem to only change your icons and wallpaper, nothing very special, but I'm hoping to see more progress on this.
Also, if you find more themes, please share them with us.
I would also like to know what other ROMs these themes are compatible with.
And don't forget to thank the creators of all these goodies!

Will this work with xposed?

I have no clue.
I guess the fastest way to find out is to do a backup and try it out. If it doesn't, just restore.
Or you could read through all the threads and see if you find any info, though I've read through a few, and found nothing on the subject.

When you open up your stock messenger (text program) you can assign priority contacts at the top (it creates a quick tile with a picture of who you want to text instead of scrolling through your contacts). Once i flashed this, they disappeared, flashed a backup and they came back. I will try again later and flash the themer again and see if they go away again or if i just had a bad flash the first time.

Eh, never tried that.
Is it where it says "tap to add priority senders"?
If so, I just did that, and now I have a list of people I selected right at the top, so it's working fine for me.
Maybe it erases them if they are previously set, but it looks like you're able to set them up again.

That would be sweet, as the official theme store has a much wider selection, and they are true themes, changing the entire ui and other settings and menus.
But I think it will be a while till we get the official t-mobile update?
