Messaging app transparent background? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello guys I'm sorry I looked all through here but I didn't think any of the ones I saw in the app section were the kind I was looking for could someone point me in the right direction?
Also I can't seem to find the darthstalker ROM?
Sorry again for my n00bness.
Thanks for your time!

I can't help with the messaging app, but all roms are in the dev sections.

gosms app is what I'm using till i find something better. It's 3rd party, but free & customizable if you've got the patience for a little trial & error. I'm still hoping to find a transparent stock mod soon myself, but i just started looking recently.

I'm not aware of any modded stock messaging app that is transparent (but there's a lot I don't know!), but could you help me understand what you'd want?
You say you want a "transparent background" messaging app. Is that one where, when it is open, you see the home screen underneath the text bubbles? Or just the wallpaper? Or would it see any previously opened app? I don't know enough about modding apks to do anything about it, but if you could clarify what you're looking for, it'd help give people more solid ideas on what to develop.

I will tell my team about the transparent background and I'll see what we can do . amiblindyet me and misty I will update you in the morning to see what we can do!!

i could opt for choosing background in htc message apk & it looks transparent, BUT those darn bubbles block everything.

So you want the background and bubbles to be transparent... I would assume that you want the background 100% transparent and the bubbles something like 70-80% transparent.
I'm ignorant on this, but I've heard that you can decompile an apk and replace the assets in /res folder. I'm not sure if it's possible with these items, but that would be the place to start.

And yes background 100% (in case I ever go back to a live wallpaper) & since I have a black area & white area on the wallpaper(both horizontal) maybe some holo blue for text so my text won't vanish when I scroll up & down. kinda like tvshow faves trans widget text color. Ive noticed that blue looks good w/my wallpaper. Bubbles maybe 90%. trans. I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Thank you for your time, consideration & efforts.

If it was transparent would it just be the wallpaper in the background? And is there a transparent notification bar for the epic touch?

can anybody make a grey and green (like the android green)?
Sorry I found the answer, didn't know about changing the view in the app drawer to customizable grid. I pushed the mms.apk through root explorer, rebooted and it worked but it removed the messaging dock icon and I'm only left with 3 dock icons. Any idea how to get it back? TIA

Black Themed Contact Apk?

Can anyone post a black themed contacts apk?

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...
To save you doing that, here it is
Nitroz,
I copied the apk and overwrote the existing and its not working. I have an android icon that i think is the contacts app but when i click it it says its not installed. any suggestions or can you tell me where i messed up? thanks!

Worked great on AOKP latest n greatest. Thanks Nitroz!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Did you restart your phone and then try reinstall the apk?
Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

The icon is the people app but grey scale..

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back
Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.

How to make STOCK Messaging app background black?

i'm beginning to like the stock messaging app since it supports emoji's now (well at least for cm10 / aokp users) but the white background is killing my eyes!! Can anyone help me make the background pitch black? & I guess i'd have to make the font white lol. & please dont refer me to GO SMS or HANDCENT. Thank you =]
Open app, in settings, under background style, choose background 1.

Sorry but when I said Stock I meant the stock android jelly bean messaging app. Which doesn't have the option to do that.. I'm using 4.1.1 AOKP Not TouchWiz
Dude just open the apk with apk manager, take the time to theme it the way you want. Finish up and your done.

Theme help

Can anyone tell me what theme this is or where I can find something similar? I've looked at so many launchers and themes and just can't find anything as nice and simple
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Post help/questions in the Q/A, Help section. Not here.
From the screen shot I believe this theme is made by this application called
"Minimalistic Text"
Download from the given link below-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en
Thanks I got the app, looks good so far, but how about the homepage icons, they don't have icons just text. It looks great I want something like that.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Those are not just text, Those are icons.
you can make this type of icons with this application. Then with a icon changer or launcher like Nova/Apex you can change stock icons with these customized text base icons.
It was a different app by the same people called simple text but you got me on the right track, thanks a bunch my phone looks great

[Bounty] $Fallout 3 Style Theme$

Ive been looking for a Fallout pip-boy 3000 style theme for a while now. Its basically why I created this account. I was thinking vault boy app logos in a pip-boy style menu bar or something. There is one for jail broken iPhones but i have found nothing for rooted androids yet. Ill gladly pay 15 dollars if someone can develop a solid theme.
Unfortunately I dont have enough posts to post outside links yet, but if you google "fallout 3 iPhone theme" You can find pictures.
Thank you in advance.

Wow thanks. Another quick question though, do I have to run this through another app such as or similar to Go Launcher EX? Because i found two other themes but they both require me to run through some other app and the theme isnt changing the actually home screen of my phone, just the appearance of the application im using the theme through.
Ill give it a shot though, thank you.
