wallpaper on 4.3 - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I tried setting a new wallpaper in 4.3 and I noticed the crop method looked different. I was also surprised that it came out extra "jaggey". I had tried this on 4.2.2 to be sure and it came out fine. Anyone else notice this? Anyone have a fix?
i hope i open thread corectly

Hi mate,
maybe you've posted in wrong forum. GS2 does not hav Android 4.3

AFAIK this is bug in 4.3 gallery app. The simplest way for now is set you wallpaper through other app, for example QuickPic

ok thanks mate, i'll try.

I like tw crop free from playstore does an excellent job

for me another launcher did the job.
i used nova launcher and set the wallpaper by its settings and it worked.

Just asking, is stock video player giving you any problem or is just that you don't like it?
I always had the un-proved feeling that using stock apps should be better for battery reasons and things like that. Could I be wrong?

I prefer Samsung's Player No battery reasons etc, just preference. Not really a huge fan of all of the stock Android apps, i like a few but not all.
Not sure about how they impact battery as such, but maybe someone else can shed some light on that
do u have samsung task manager?
Hi webstar1,
i got the stock phone/mms/calender/contacts etc installed over your ROM, but now the videoplayer won't work anymore... get force close when i try to open a video...

Edit: for anyone who also has this error: just copied Gallery3D back from the original Ultimate ROM and it works again.. the only thing i can't get to work is a stock videoplayer....

[Q] SGS2 Messaging app with themes?

Hello,
I just updated my SGS2 to 2.3.4 today and unfortunately, I seem to have lost the part that I liked the most about the messaging app: the ability to change themes. I really hate the way it looks now and would really like the plain look of one of the themes back.
Is it possible to push the older themable messaging app. to this new firmware and get the theme functionality back?
If anyone has the messaging app that supports themes, could you please pull it and attach it here so I can give it a try?
Many thanks.
+1 I miss the black theme as it goes sooo much better with my current rom. I'd be interested to know if this can be done
True. Let's see if someone can help with this
I use GoSmsPro and it has a few themes
I understand that there are alternatives available but I wish to have the stock messaging app back which supports themes I would really appreciate it if someone could pull it from their phone.
I'd like to have the stock messaging app with themes too (I wa addicted to the "funny" style..., I'm a dumbass I know...)
There should be SOMEONE with the older app
Here's what I tried:
I tried downloading an older KE7 firmware from 18th May and extracted the Mms.apk/odex and MmsProvisioning.apk/odex files and pushed them to /system/app and tried rebooting but that didn't change anything
If I try INSTALLING the new Mms.apk file it says Application not installed even if I try remounting the system as rw
Discussed before in this thread, no joy so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177494
In that thread, this guy said he had a solution, but never posted the .apk:

@Cygnuss - you've posted about GoSMSPro in both threads. You're missing the point - as dexter said last time:

Does that bring back the themes in Samsungs SMS/MMS-app? I think not...

There HAS to be a solution
Yes theres a solution, after every new rom install i flash with cwm this mms fix and it restores the message themes.

Thank you so much! You're the man!
For those of you who had trouble with odexed/deodexed, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159920
And get Darky's odex->deodexed converter and install that first using DarkyRom2 Tool (available free on market)
so annoying. i want my old themes back (especially the black one). i'm guessing the app got updated, so i'd be keen to just get the them part back in...
any solution to this?
i want it tooo!!!
there's nothing like this!!
I tried the solution posted above but once you go depdexed you lose hardware acceleration in the browser and it gets laggy as hell. I guess I'm gonna have to keep on hoping for an odex solution
You could go back to 2.3.3 , really what will you be missing out?

[APK] ICS stock gallery.....

i was searching all over the xda forums and finally i found them.....
here it is.. the stock ics gallery....it's so smooth and fast....i tried it myself with my XXLPQ ics.......
feel free to download and enjoy.......the credit goes to the member "nagnrik" from the droid razr forums........
download and install the two files.......

will this replace the old 3d gallery or add ics gallery???

No...it just adds the ics gallery....the old 3d gallery will stay.......
Hi,
I have installed the two file but it's the same gallery (ICS Samsung Stock ROM LPQ) :/
No, you have to get a new "Gallery" icon, with a more pink-ish icon. It's a nice found, but QuickPic still seems to be snappier
@VAXXi
It's work
Thx for all.
Nice find, thanks for posting this. My only gripe is that .gif images don't work properly and there are a few graphical glitches.... Other than that, its much faster than samsung's outdated app in rendering of images as well as overall scrolling and speed.
Why are there 2 files though? I installed the second file you posted "gallery 2", hope that was the better working one.
edit: Ok never mind. I installed it, didn't realise it was a live wallpaper.
Thanks a lot man !
It works perfectly, it's smoother than the Samsung one (which is less smooth than it used to be on Gingerbread by the way... ).
Besides we get the terrific galery widget along with the apk !

Ya3tik essa7a khouya...yep, it does perfectly work, just tried it on LPQ....keep it going
Just tried the Gallery2.apk on LPQ seems to work well. Much nicer and faster than stock. Settings page is empty though, not sure what should be there.
Ah one problem.. doesn't seem to pull thumbnails for many of my videos, resulting in a whole page of black thumbnails... on a black background
Galaxy4.apk is the live wallpaper as seen on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503640

On all types of videos?
MP4 videos display fine, any other type (i.e. ones not natively supported by Android) do not show thumbnails.
Will have another look tomorrow, just in the very slow process or starting over with a new rom..
The old 3d gallery displays also albums from Picasa Web Albums, and this one doesn't, only photos and videos existing on the phone ;/
And when I'm trying to enter settings, there's only a black background and nothing more
I actually prefer the latest Quickpic over ICS gallery. Better option list too.
QuickPic is still the fastest and the best imo..
Why in settings I see only black background?

[DIALER]{Multy DPI}[deodexed/odexed]{ICS room}[base on stock room](REQ)

I will like first than any other thing to apologize if you are reading this and you thought finaly a multi DPI stock dialer aviable, sorry i dont have it. I needed a title to guet some readers to see it. Second for my really bad speling.
This post has been created whit one goal:
¡¡¡¡¡MULTI DPI STOCK SAMSUNG DIALER!!!!!
I have scouted xda forums for weeks (months now) to guet one, but this mod just... DOES NOT EXIST.
I have seen this request on replies, new threats, but no one single developer has responded to this call.
If YOU reader support this threat, i will sent a pm to your inbox once i guet one.
Now I will place here what WE are asking for:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
Yes we know there is an stock ics dialer and contacts, some android market apps whit multi dpi aviable free or paid, but we dont want that.
Well that is the reason of this post, but I have seen what people belive, is the PERFECT dialer:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
2. AutoRotate disiable
3. Full screem picture
4. ICS compatible
5. Record call aviable
And going a little bit more... demanding. If a developer decides to guet on this heroe path, on the SAMSUNG STOCK contacts app, the ability to unite more than five accounts to one contact.
Hopefully a great xda dev will become the heroe and provide the apk that many are looking.
I am so with you on this one, for months now I am looking for it, so do wish that one of the Devs will look into this for us all.
Come on guys PLEASE !!!!!!!!
Pls i need the Multi DPI Dialer for my VK Rom cause my phones Dpi is 182 but the integrated Dialer is to small and the number where cut
pls help
im waiting too +1
People you can try dialer from market, are many of them, like exdialer.

How do I invert stock ICS SMS

I was able to get it installed and working with root explorer but I don't see a way to make it inverted/dark themed.. Although it is still better then the stock touchwiz one..
Stupid samsung and not having pinch to zoom built in.

It won't work that way,after you put it in you have to set permissions to rw,r,r like this :
Read the directions in the thread I pointed you to it will explain how to do it and you could re-name the mms apk to SecMms for good measure.Lemme know how it works out for ya.Make sure unknown sources is checked in menu-system settings-security just in case and you have to have read/write permissions in whatever root explorer you are using so when you change the permissions for the .apk it sticks after reboot.

So it doesn't work to do it like this? It worked for the one I have right now replacing it.. but that one isn't inverted.
Also I need to have it as Mms.apk because that is the only way the swipe to message from contacts will work. Also I have a nandroid backup and backed up on my dropbox so its all good.
I'll try to do yours with the different permissions.
So it didn't work.. it forced closed when I tried.. I tried some other ones I found and they all had the same bugs as they had before I changed the permission just now.

If you are on an ICS rom and are looking for an ICS stock type messing app than they are different.The one you posted looks like a cm9 aokp etc.... messaging apk.They look different.A stock ICS mms.apk has the bubbles text.The .apk I pointed you to is a dark background with bubbles txt.Not the standard white background like on some of the ICS roms.

The reason I don't want the touchwiz one is it doens't have pinch to zoom on the pictures. The stock ICS one I have does. If it was holo dark themed it would be perfect.
The APK you gave me didn't even launch/work.

Hey I am still happy that I got pinch to zoom working.. Would be nice if I got a black themed one *and it is easy to do that with the built in one* but atleast I got the important part that samsung derped and didn't do.
Edit: For those that want to apk for if you are looking at this when I post it or via google I have attached it.
Pinch and zoom works, and it works with the contacts swipe to message as of posting of this. (I am on ICS)
Anyone know why the text inside my bubbles are light rather than dark?
