Grid on contacts photos when dialing or receiving calls - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a grid on all my photos whenever I dial or receive a call. I remember a flashable script removing the grid on my M7. Any solution on the M8 ?

I hate that so much lol, I haven't seen a flashable script for it yet but I do know that viper rom has it in the settings. Other roms might also but you'd just have to check.

Messaging themes

I know within the stock Samsung messaging app you can change the text bubbles and the background. My question today is...it's it possible to use custom message bubbles and background?
If so where's would I have to place those files for them to be usable within the app?
Thanks

I do not believe this is possible as of right now. I have not seen any other threads indicating it's possible. I too would like to see this happen though.

How do you remove the bubbles all together? Looks like my kids phone.

Wow do I actually get to contribute something for once?? LoL I'm so used to absorbing all the knowledge here being the noob I am.
Aside from what the others recommended, I haven't seen any easy ways to add custom bubbles but I did recently notice that you can easily change the background to a custom picture.
If you go into your messaging settings and choose to change the background, there's an option to add your own picture whether it be from your gallery or directly from your camera. The one and only downside is that you're limited to one custom background at a time... if you change it, your new choice will overwrite the old. No big, tho.
I remember looking for this option back on ICS but never found it so I'm assuming it was added with the JB update.
(I'm running on rooted stock ROM, btw.)

I did this for my GS2 because I love blue and gray together. I am using an mms.apk from a rom in the dev section right now, but this weekend I'll try to work on theming the stock mms.apk with different colors. I'll upload when/if I get time this weekend.

Gallery MMS

I'm really hate the gallery style mms picture on the stock messaging .. Is there a way to change it so that I have a pinch to zoom option again, other than using a third party messaging app?
I woud appreciate the help..

What I have to do is open the pic in mms, and then save the attachment via the menu items. The pic will now show up in your gallery.
Exactly, when I was on ICS on my s2 you didn't have to do all that. You could zoom in on a picture you received thru text and not have some stupid gallery that requires you to save the pic..
I'm trying to get that on my note 2

If you read the op, he even says "other than using third party apps" lol.
I have actually been wondering the same thing, and I've noticed that the stock mms on the at&t note 2 let's you see the picture directly in the message. I'll look into porting over the at&t version to see if it's the same, if not I'm assuming it's carrier specific?

adding pages
Am I the only one that can't add more pages to the homescreen? I've tried dragging icons and widgets to the right, but seems like I'm limited to the one main page and the google now section to the left.

Quick reply from the lock screen

Ok I was just curious if there was an app that would allow me to quick reply to sms from the lock screen, when I had an iPhone jail broke it and was able to quick reply from the lock screen without actually unlocking my phone. Anyone know of any app? Also I'm on dn3 rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Textra, sms popup and Chomp to name a few. Lots of the sms/text apps from the play store do quick reply. It's not like the iPhone at all with needing to jailbreak just to get a nice feature like that on the lockscreen. Android does much of this without need of root or anything special.
Edit: I currently use textra but have used almost every one of them. Chomp isn't bad either.
