Sure.... I'll do all the work. Here is the link for the sms. Gmail, gtalk, contacts and calculator are done too. Just LOOK in the theme section.http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/top...)-Inverted-(Black-background-with-white-text)

This is great except the number of texts per person is still shown in black making it invisible.

Not bad, but not what I was asking. I'd like the bubbles without using any other app. Like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375255 Not just inverted colors.

give it time. Things get fixed faster if you post in the threads.

The incoherent design of ICS -especially between the contact- and sms-ui and the rest of ICS- is one reason that hesitates me to buy the galaxy nexus. Hm as my previous speaker already mentioned: ICS is just one month out. Im confident that with the next major update the problem will be solved itself. Until then you can use gosms with ICS theme from the market.

Install Stock ICS Messaging app? (mms.apk?)

So I tried looking for a solution and so far havent found anything
I like stock touchwiz (so far) mostly because of the Motion options Samsung introduced (AOKP and CM9 have yet to implement these)
I really liked the stock messaging app from ICS (coming from a Galaxy Nexus) and was wondering if there is a way of getting it on the S3
I tried pushing the stock "mms.apk" to the /system/app folder but it keep saying there is a conflict and cannot install (installing the stock gallery.apk worked though)
The S3 messaging app is called "Secmms.apk" , but even if i rename that and try installing the stock mms.apk it just said the install failed
Does anyone have any clue on how to install the stock ICS messaging app?
Thanks in advance!

Your welcome!
BTW, if you want the calendar (ICS version) let me know. It works too!!!

Thanks for posting that. Worked perfectly over here.
Any chance of getting the stock contacts app or will that take more effort than it's worth?

Now that the issue is solved, can someone upload the vanilla apk for the gallery please
And yeah, calendar would be nice too.

hey rumz82
can you share ICS calendar?

can someone post the ics msg app screenshot...? i want to try it too...

Contacts is part of the dialler so you'll get into a mess if you try to change that, I did. I also changed the keyboard by putting in the latinIME.apk and then switching to it as the default input method. I find the stock keyboard quite unreliable.
If you use the CM gallery, as already posted, you can set the background screen image to be scrollable at the right resolution.

Re add it in menu, setting, security, lockscreen, shortcuts... works Fine

thanks for tweeting suroot!
I'm referring to the big circle with the sms icon that appears on the right center of the lockscreen that we used to get then a new sms arrives - then we drag it from the left to the right to open the sms application, that way we don't have to sacrifice one of the 4 shortcut slots for sms app
that's the one I was referring to, and it's gone now!

Thanks for that but I am having trouble replacing the Email (Exchange) app from my stock rooted S3.
Do you have to have a deoxed ROM to replace the Email app for the stock one?
I cannot replace email.apk as there is simply none in the ROM, only an Exchange.apk

Better-than-stock Dialer?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a dialer apo to replace the stock dialer, since the Samsung stock one doesn't even have a proper T9 dialing option.
I have tried ExDialer, and it's really good but it doesn't show Facebook profile pics in the dialer.
Does anyone know of any better dialer apps that are fast and functional?
Thanks.

Few things that come to mind:
- Dialer One
- RocketDial
- Go Contacts
- Touchpal Contacts
Let us know how you get on.

Dev Team
im currently using dev team stuff such as:
go sms
go contacts
go keyboard
go dialer
im pretty much using the same thing as you but if you install AOKP rom, it should fix your problem with the face book contacts thing as its part of the features for the rom
let me know how you go

Ex Dialer is awesome now

Dialer ONE it's my favorite

Dialer one for sure.....

Thanks guys for the replies, but I tried each one of them and NONE can pull FB pics into the dialer!
They're there in the contacts and even in the stock dialer but they simply don't show up in any of these custom apps! Other pics like google pics etc show up though....
Does it work for you? Am I doing something wrong here?

Am using hax sync. It works fine and fb pics show up on exdialer.

Ok.
How does hax sync integrate with the stock contacts? Is there another tab for it like Facebook and whatsapp or does it just sync the photos within the fb account?

Its just like another fb or whatsapp account. It also syncs high res images which is nice and in the options you can choose to have htc style notes on your google account contacts so that when you do a full wipe and re sync it remembers the linked contacts.

ex dialer
I have used almost all the available dialers and to date found the Ex dialer to be the most user friedly one with good themes as well. Its a matter of personal preference too. For someone like me the main thing is not to have to stretch my thumb to the top of the screen to press buttons specially in S3 which is bigger. All the relevent common buttons are in the lower field. Even the search button of the contacts in ex. Go dialer is also very good but for me cannot beat the Ex dialer.
If helpful ...press thanks

I believe u should go for....
- go dialer
- ex dialer
These are the best options....

Thanks for the explanation. Since it's a paid app, I just wanted to confirm.
So this app syncs phone numbers and other details too? After installing this can I completely disable the normal Facebook sync app?

I don't think it syncs contact numbers. Only pictures. For me, thats what was important as I have telephone numbers on my Google contact list for most of my fb contacts. And it syncs status updates as well. So if you click on a contacts update in hax sync it takes you directly to the contacts page on the facebook app in your phone. I have disabled contact sync on my fb phone app.

q: how to make contacts large thumbmail photos?

Hi there
I once saw someone's screenshot of their ui and they had their contacts with big pictures. They said they changed the DPI. How do I do this? I am using paranoidkangdroid.

I may be mistaken, but I believe those are contacts that have been starred. Try viewing a contact, tap the star on the top right and see if it provides what you'd like. Please share if this is what you were looking for.

Not sure I know exactly what you are asking after reading other replies.... But if you want to change the dpi that's done in the ROM settings or system settings under UI.

however there must be a way that contacts can be turned into that as well just regular contacts..

Well the obvious solution would be to favorite all of your contacts, but that's far from ideal.
As for a legitimate solution, I am not aware of one as of now. I'll share if I come across one.

Any version of android with another ui(sense or touchwiz) has it's own framework so some apps are integrated with other apps. Without the framework though, the app is missing integral files that it needs to be able to reference to function.
Which I think is dumb because I'd really like to see the TW music and sms apps work on non-Tw toms.

I enclose a pack on the Galaxy S4, if people find a way to install all and especially of VoiceTalk

I don't know what's hard to understand as peiple still go in about this.
It DOESN'T WORK and never will unless you want to port a whole tw Rom... Which most probably won't work either.
