[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:

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?

Black E-mail App? (Not G-mail)

I'm a field tech and I constantly use the E-mail app for work with my Exchange account. However, the whites are just killing my battery life with screen power consumption. I basically need a black version of the stock E-mail in 4.0.2. Anyone know where I can find it?

Enhanced Email

I would very much prefer to use the stock E-mail app if possible. I like to keep it simple.

Enhanced email is based on the stock email client, but not the ics one unfortunately. I think its your only option at this point though.

For what it's worth, K9 Mail (which is not stock, but which I prefer to stock) has a very attractive dark theme. Just throwing that out there

Theme
You could apply this Dark theme, which includes a blackened stock email app.

That doesn't include the stock email app, only the Gmail app.... I just downloaded it

The developer stated that 2.1 would include a blackend stock email as well. Which version did you download? I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, because it is not yet available for my ROM. Ping him in that thread about this, he is very responsive

It shouldn't be difficult to theme a blacked out standard Email.apk. Just go into the AndroidManifest and request for a dark theme to be applied rather than a light theme. Changing the font will be a pain...alot of smali code.

Nitroz, does this mean that there is also no black (or transparent) stock email widget included? You mentioned earlier that you have already made one. If not, I might ask evilkal if his offer to make it is still valid

Yeah I know but I just don't feel like it haha =P
And the font changing is rather easy because it's mostly done in the colors.xml so that pretty much hangs it up for good =P

Only the Gmail app/widget is themed so far...and the MMS.apk. I'm working on an inverted Google+ App at the minute. If EvilKal can do it, great. If not, I will.

I'm working on the Email app but it's having some issues with showing up on my Gummy ROM. It may just be the ROM because Nitroz and I had problems with a couple other system apps before on Gummy. I'll see what I can do for now and get back to you fine people tomorrow morning yes?

Will see what I can do. I may just flash AOKP or stock ICS tomorrow and give that a whirl instead of Gummy. This is the 3rd app that has intensely disliked the idea of theming anything in it and they're all AOSP apps so it may be something to do with the ROM because both of us (Nitroz and myself) had no trouble at all theming the Gmail.apk

Inverted Blue Gmail 4.2

Here is the new Gmail 4.2 with my touch of black and blue! To install simply place the apk on your SD card and install. If it does not overwrite your current Gmail then uninstall Gmail in your system/app and any com.android.Gmail in your data/app then install mine. Once installed go to system/app and ensure the permissions are set the same as all other apps then reboot. If it still does not install then adb push Gmail4.2.apk to system/app. Then once installed rewrite the permissions and reboot. Let me know if you have any problems installing, enjoy!

Thanks for the update!
BTW I’ve been using your NuBlue Theme and NuBlue Apps Pack – it’s all great work. A couple of questions about the NuBlue Apps Pack:
1. Are you going to update Google Play and Gmail to the new Google Play 3.9.16 and the new Gmail 4.2 in the apps pack?
2. The People app looks real nice, but in the individual contact landscape view the background changes to white, so it becomes unreadable because of the white text on the white background – is it possible to fix it?
If you’re planning to update Google Play and Gmail in the apps pack, I’ll just wait for that instead of flashing/installing them separately.

Cool and thank you for using my apks package! I will come out with an update here in a day or so!

Great thanks. I look forward to it. I just happened to find the NuBlue Apps Pack in the NuBlue and Simple Green threads here on XDA and on CNA’s thread. Are you going to post the update in one of those threads, or in its own thread? Also would you please put a dated update note with the post?
I just want to have some idea where to look for it. You do great work but it’s kind of spread all over the place. It would be cool if you had your own section on each forum where you could put threads for each of your themes and mods. That may not be possible, but it’d make it easier for fans of your work to centrally find all of it and the updated versions.
I think this should be the case on all of the forums for any themer who creates and updates multiple themes and mods – 4 or more – they should have their own section in which to list them. It would clear up a lot of the clutter of the theme/mod forums and make it easier for all involved.

Looks far easier to read, I'll give it a go!

Well thank you very much! And just for you here is the updated NuBlue apks pack. I will create a new thread in XDA, Rootz, and CNA with all the updates here soon with everything,,,kinda a one stop shop, let me know if you have any problems, enjoy!

Wow, thanks a lot! I was going to try and wait to flash this until after I flash CNA 3.6.7 when it drops, but I decided to flash it now over CNA 3.6.6. Especially since my Market just updated and I lost the theme. I got the updates of Gmail and Market. They look real nice; love the color of blue you’re using!
The horizontal view of individual contacts in People is still white text on white background, which is no sweat for me because I can do without the horizontal view.
Also just a heads-up that settings and search in Google Now force closes, which actually occurred with the first NuBlue Apps Pack but I forgot to mention it before. I had substituted it with travp’s, which I just did again because I need all parts in working order for daily business.
Thanks again for your work.

I should put up a disclaimer with google now. You have to delete the one you currently have and load the zip below,,,,the apk pack didnt have the script to load google now to data/app but the this new one does,,,,so uninstall your current google now completely and install the one below and let me know.

[Q] Note 2 Camera and Gallery

I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I would like to get the Note 2 camera and gallery on my Galaxy s3...i'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted with SuperSU if that helps at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please and thanks in advanced
EDIT: Also, I would like a dark themed AOSP based messenger for texts, but I need to be able to change the size of the font much like in the stock app on TW. Quick reply isn't necessary as I already use SMS Popup. I just want a dark AOSP messenger with resizable font.

Hello & welcome to the way TW should look like . This is a dark theme (WIP) confirmed to be working on Dynamic Kat & Infamous rom. Please feel free to leave feedback & ideas & let's keep this thread nice like DK's thread is. It is also advised to make a full backup just in case something goes wrong.
Again, this is a WIP so, expect some things to not be perfect. There are some issues with some app text not showing due to white on white. You can also use blackout apps to make things better too. These guys are fantastic & have really done alot of great work. Go check them out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828.
Here is the link to this theme to flash via recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?kiydg45tk8i5d3g. Enjoy everybody, I know I do .
If you're having problems or don't like it just dirty flash the rom you're on & all should be back to normal. Please enjoy!

Thanks for this..

Yes, I tested it on darthstalker and the systemui.apk fc's unless you remove
the systemui.apk from the zip file.
The systemui.apk is what changes the color of the icons and background on
the notification panel.
Without the systemui.apk it works perfectly, but only themes the contacts,
dialer and settings screens.
I also tried this on jovy23's stock/deodex/rooted rom with the same results.
Good luck!
