I've read somethings about it
Here's info on what i Have -
Samsung galaxy s3 T999L, Stock rooted with DocHoliday77's [Stock][ROM]Galaxy S3-LTE (cant post links yet :C)
i know they have to be .9.png's (but dont know what that means exactly) and have the background transparent
I know you have to put it in mms.apk (cant find it on my phone) saw 3 people say system/app/mms.apk
Here's what i get using ES File Explorer (cant find it in root explorer either)

}
so does that mean I create a mms.apk there?
Thats all i could come up with.
So if anyone could direct me to a video(preffered) or thread with a step by step?
or explain how to find mms.apk?
Or if you're advanced make something along the lines of these colors?
TLR - need Tutorial / vid on how to create and install custom chat bubbles
In samsung devices its SecMMS.apk.
Not mms.apk

still need more help
okay so i found it - Thanks doc
but from here what do i do?
Yellow's the one i edit? ( a recieve and a sent ) ? and do i have to make a focus png (just highlight edges it looks like)?
Blues the preview selector when you get into message settings>bubbles?
Reds the correct path?
And no idea if i have to edit what the green is showing for backgrounds???
Do I have to have a special program to open .9.pngs? (i have adobe cs6 master)
If I remember right, you're not supposed to mess with the .9.png's. And there is a program I believe to help with them. Youll have to search xda for it though as I don't remember the name.

well
I'm now reading iamareebjamal post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326393
It's pretty much melting my brain...
What file do i put it back into (i found the .9.png's in the drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi) so i'm guessing that one
But dont know if i can just "drag" and replace the files?
sooo i just opened archived and dragged files into it - switched message settings
Looks okay ((added to much space and dont like the colors exactly on the sides but ill tweak it later))
i feel yorzua's tutorial was the best for super noobs

Hi guys,

is it transparent? or does it always have the clouds background? looks pretty sweet to me....
unfortunately it has clouds background. I will make a few more variants.
I don;t know at the moment how could I make it transparent
this app are wonderfull...
To make it transparent you will have to use photoshop or gimp
trust me mate, I tried. But it's not that. If I make it transparent, it will show a black background.... I don;t know how to make it
you can do a version without that dialer image?
Works nice but force closes phone.apk when ending a call. I googled this problem but solution didn't work.still,it works and looks good
Hmmmm... Very nice butt of this Tati... LoL
) this is the default image for contacts without an image allocated.
@RobZarzecki if you have problems, PM me with your phone's original Phone.apk and I will mod it for you

I was trying to modify my stock dialer on my droid x a while back and gave up. I remember seeing a thread about it for the motorola phones though, the color had nothing to do with photoshop. Instead, it was color codes that needed edited in a hex file. I am brand new to samsung, so I'm not sure if that helps you at all. But you got further than I did on the X. Good luck
I am trying to install but no luck, am getting a "not installed" after trying.
Is anyone else experiencing this ?
Cheers, LL-

I take it this won't work on CM7? In that case, could a dev kindly port it over, if possible?

Hi,
It looks beautiful. But can u make a version with default image diferent then this? Cause i got a lady and young sister/brothers that often play in Galaxy S, so as u imagine this kind of image will get me in trouble
Thanks
Is this compatible with any gingerbread rom?
Do you know how to change the transparency of the dialer?.. if yes.. can you pm me the "how to?"...
Anyone else annoyed by the pesky MMS compression/conversion of the stock CM9 MMS.apk?
I've looked thru various tutorials and how-to's but they are all outdated. Most tutorials were written for Froyo/GB MMS.apk's.
Also, before anyone tries bursting my bubble , I really dnt like using 3rd party Messaging apps so I wanted to just mod the stock MMS.apk to disable the MMS conversion/MMS compression.
I've decompiled the apk and have looked thru its code, but can't seem to find the right strings to edit. Anyone wanna try n jump in and point me to the right direction?

This developer has done it in his themed mms.apk -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28507380#post28507380
I made an inquiry as how he has done it and if he responds, I will try modifying the stock apk.
Its a butt load of XML edits. Rootzwiki has an excellent tutorial.

This is the ICS AOSP Mms.apk from my I717 that does not have compression enabled. I'm using it on all of my devices now.

anyone know if the themed mms.apk's have the 160char issue? i know a lot of the gnex themed apps don't have certain settings etc that we need. at least, that's what i ran into before.

From what I remember from the themed ones, it had an option to show if your character count exceeded 160 it would split the message and how many messages it would be split into.
The one I just posted also has the split count option.
I would presume this means it will split long messages. is that what you mean?
yes, as long as the option is there to turn on auto split for 160 char it should be good to go.
Thanks!
Now if only he had one that was all white and black...
I have a pretty kick ass themed MMS.

One you customized? Looks nice and simple. You should post it.
I couldn't find anything quickly from RootzWiki about the XML editing. Do you have a link?

I was wondering if anyone could make something similar for me in blue with my name (HaiKaiDo) in it? I was going to post this in the theme and apps section cause it seemed like an artistic request but I just wast sure so i put it in general. If someone would be willing to make something for me, maybe I could shoot you something in paypal?

It would take a while. You could use this gif file as a template. Break the gif down into its original .png/jpg files. Then use Photoshop cs5 to edit all those pictures manually. The hardest part will be the transitioning of the letters but should go by pretty quick once you have finished modifying your base/ background layer's color scheme. Then use a a gif making utility to turn your new modified picture sequence into an animated gif and upload as your new signature.
Hello fellow SIII owners are you tired of the same ol boring font well i have great news for you and its called a flipfont! What's a flipfont you might ask well a flipfont is an .apk file that you install just as you would any app and bam you've been flipfonted!!! I will be adding serveral fonts to this thread so keep a look out.
Lets get started i really hope i don't need to explain how to install an .apk but i will if needed (let me know) so you've got your font you want installed how do we apply it? here's how screen shots below.
1.download whatever font.apk you want and throw it in a folder on your SD card.

2. use any file explorer my FAV is root explorer and navigate to where you put your font.apk file
3.click to install the font.apk file boom done installed ready to rock.
4.now we need to go select the new font we just installed so here we go!
5. hit menu/settings/display/screen display/font style and select your new font select yes to confirm and that's it now we can enjoy our new font cheers

I have no idea if using that would be a problem or not (I haven't even read the thread),. But I notice that is for a Galaxy S II, not SGS III. Unless you've seen that folks have done that on the SGS III, I wouldn't be to anxious to use it.
Just trying to save you trouble...if you already know it works on SGS III...ignore this :cyclops:
Is this the only option to enable native spell check with the AT&T S3? Unless I'm missing something spell check does not seem to work, only auto correct which I'm not exactly a fan of.
Anyone with a galaxy S3 try the following. Open up sms and instead of typing in your text use google voice. You will notice the words are highlighted even those thet may not be spelt incorrectly but it will give you the option to choose alternate works by tapping on the underlined words. So I know the feature is there and working but how do I get this to work by using a ragular keyboard?

I maybe understanding the situation wrong. But I know when I bought my SIII my auto correct and spell check was jibberish. I had to go into the keyboard settings and go to language and select English because it was using all the dictionaries at once..... maybe? If im off I'm sorry lol
