After alot of work and help from many people I have completed it. This is a MMS apk for Deodexed Gingerbread ROM's such as Calkulins Stock Deodexed or Calks GB ROM.
Download attached apk
Move apk to system/app
Set Permissions to RW/R/R
Reboot.
Note: You may want to back up the original mms.apk. You can always get it from the Stock ROM zip if you need to.
Many many thanks to all that helped me. I learned alot from this little adventure.
Try the png's first. I'm not sty the computer right now so I can't remember the name, but it says simmering about chat bg.9. If nobody has helped you by the time I get home, I can tell you more. Hit up 12many,, he could probably tell you exactly where to look.

think dazed is right, there are often background png's (and sometimes not in the drawable-hdpi folder). most the time "bg" will be in the name so look for that first. otherwise the xml would be in colors.xml or styles.xml in the res/values directory

That is actually a smali edit.
Mms.apk\com\android\mms\ui\ComposeMessageFragment.smali
Line 16051 const v1, 0xd4d2d0
change that to what you want you color to be. that ones hex is 2b2d30. Remember in smali the numbers are not in hex.

Never worked with smali before. So gonna give this a shot. The code you gave me is that the code for white.
OK. So I decompiled and that file isn't there. I have a butt load of compose message files but not one that has fragment in it. Also just to make sure this is 2.3.6! Mms.apk
I attached a pick to kinda make sure we're on the same page.
check these bg images maybe?... msg_bg_dsrk etc

I did. I went through all the pngs in the drawable-hdpi folder. I swapped all those and any others that related to it. Still grey background. I changed out an XML and got the white background I wanted but it broke mms for some reason. Couldn't send or receive.

Thanks a ton. I'm at a loss at this point. I have went through all the XML I could find and tried everything j know how to do. XML and smali edits aren't a big deal for me to do. Just don't know what to edit. They're so many of those damn files and of course they wouldn't name it like conversation background.XML/small. It has to be some off the wall ****. But as well that's ok . I appreciate all your help. My wife has wanted this mms and others did too a while back. Once its done gonna post it for everyone and finally get my wife happy. lol
Try the twframework-res. You control the mms font color from editing the twcolor02.

Would it be in the draw ables folder?
Also. I was able to get it to turn white by swapping the file Res/values/drawables.XML. but that broke mms. Just for information to help.

I believe it was under values/colors.xml. The list of "TWcolor_001, TWcolor_002", etc.
EDIT: Find the grey color you're looking for in an image editor like Gimp or photoshop and search the colors folder for that hex code, I'm sure it'll pop up.
also check the drawable folder for something like "listitem_backgound.xml" or "conversationitem_background" might do it....

i decompiled the TW framework. the color code for the background is ff2b2d30. I searched the colors xml and couldnt find that code. so i looked for anything close to it. still no dice. thinking i may have to go another route on this and do a different style. you wouldnt think changing the background color would be such a ***** to do but then again it is me doing it and my luck never seems to be the greatest. haha

It is not in the xml it is in the smali files if you are using apkmanager to decompile it will be in the projects\Mms.apk\smali\com\android\mms\ui\ folder

Does anyone know what .png makes the notification icons slightly darker then those images on the battery side.
For example....the mail, gmail, talk, ect notifications icons are darker then the battery, signal and wifi are.
I'd like to make the .png that creates this darkness "transparent", so that they are just as bright and beautiful as the battery/time side is.
I'm creating a theme, and it has a lot of colors in the notification icons
Thanks.

Can this be done via just changing the png file or is there other stuff i need to do ? ive tryed search button but dident find anything so any help apprecited thank you

It is probably handled by an XML file or rendered from a small image file

U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try
thanks for replys and taking time to look into , very much appreciated

Hey guys. Today I pulled the framework-res and extracted it with ninjamorph. I have been looking in the Res folder and can't find the status bar icons.
In the drawable mdpi and drawable hdpi folders I see icons that are similar but not the right ones. For example I see the c, evdo, and roaming signal icons but not the original ones. The 4g icon also looks different. Am I looking in the wrong folders? Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to get the 4G/LTE icons for the LT28at? They're in the SystemUI - I'm not sure if framework related because I can't get the 4G icons to appear on my modded SystemUI. I'm still looking - there is a jar file (techdata?) in the framework folder maybe had something to do with that ... maybe someone could help?
Edit: I meant the SystemUI modded seem only work with LT28's framework - other LT28h or LT28i doesn't do anything.

Yeah I'm trying to change all the icons in status bar to true ics. I love the color. I'm also doing the dialer true ics. Found the dialer but none of the status bar icons.

I see a techdatamanager.jar, lets see whats in it XD
Edit: Nothing useful it has MANIFEST.MF not sure what that is so not gonna touch it.
Another question. What folders should i be editing?
MDPI, HDPI or XHDPI
Both?
I am guessing it is XHDPI because when i run a Device Screen and Resolution app i get:
720 x 1280
Scale = 2
PPI = 320
and according to this post: http://blog.blundell-apps.com/list-of-android-devices-with-pixel-density-buckets/
XHDPI is around 320 DPI

I am trying to edit the icons in my status bar. instead of the white 4g symbol, white service bars, green battery, and white alarm clock i am trying to change them to an ICS blue color. But i cant find the icons to edit with photoshop.
The dialer keyboard im changing from white to ICS blue also. I have found those icons, located in the framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi folder. But there are also the same icons for the dialer in the drawable-mdpi and drawable-hdpi. so im just wondering which ones i need to edit.
Our phone is XHDPI so it must be the drawable-xhdpi folder i need to be editing in.
Ah, so color change for the icons - that's very easy.
Between SystemUI in System/app and framework-res in System/framework, you will find all the icons. First looks/edits icons in the drawable-xhdpi, if not there then drawable-hdpi. Ignore duplicate icons in drawable-hdpi. You're right the system will pull icons in xhdpi first, only if the icons not available in high resolution then in hdpi.
BTW: Jar file contained linux scripts in classes.dex.

Hi there.
I'm trying to theme my Contacts.apk because I don't like the default cyan bar at the top. I wanted to apply the same dark gray color, just like in the Mms.apk. I previously was able to do this for my Contacts.apk in JB 4.1.2.
However, when I pushed the Contacts.apk from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1, the dialer would vibrate twice when I press a button (i.e. a number on the dial pad). So, I attempted to recreate the same dark gray color at the top of the bar for the Contacts.apk in 4.2.1.
BUT, the cyan color appears on the selected tab (see attached image). The other parts of the bar are the dark gray color. I decompiled and changed the png files in the drawable xhdpi folder, but is there an xml value that I'm supposed to edit? I didn't edit any xml values when I previously, and successfully, themed my Contact.apk for 4.1.2.
Any advice would help. Thanks everyone
That's going to be an XML in /res/drawable/tab_selected.xml
In currently uses the people holo theme color from res/values/colors.xml
You can also change it to a hex color value using #ffrrggbb
