[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?

I dont had a look at it, but im sure that exists a thread here with it. Im not sure it teaches, but surely is a change in the framework files (not sure if its just the apk)

There does exist a thread where a guy has posted NOTE 3 water colour effect but.......ge hasn't taught how to port it. I know something has to be changed in framework but I have no idea ,what has to changed and where. That's why I asked you regarding that.

Im downloading the fix you said for s3, will try to figure it out what must be done, but expect not much as im no developer
Maybe the porter (@Arsaw) answer you more clearly
Edit: after a fast look, you need to mod framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar plus another Files pushed to media/audio/ui and a permission file in etc/permissions.
Contact the original dev to have more further assistence

Brother ..... lol.....u can't even imagine how many times did I ask not even him but also many others on how to port Water colour effect but none of them responded. Idk why the guides *HOW-TO* are getting more and more less on xda. People are not giving them any more attention.
Coming towards the files which are needed to mod. I know which files are to be modded but I don't know what has to be modded inside them. Like in framework idk after decompiling what I have to do.
Hope you got what I mean.

I imagined you've already tried to contact them.. And yes, i do understand what you mean. I have disassembled android.policy.jar using THIS. I think you need to disassemble your original one and place some files of the modded one, the files i think will do the trick are below (in disassembled android.policy.jar):
** in com\android\internal\policy\impl\keyguard\sec
all the "WaterColorRenderer" ones
inkeffect folder
all the "LensFlareView" ones for lens flare
** the one hand ones are suposed to be in com\android\internal\policy\impl\sec
Maybe that do the trick, you can try this, recompile (in that tutorial have this part too) and push it to your phone. If you don't get a bootloop, probably the thing left to mod is framework-res, but this one i don't know what to do - yet
Some things i still don't know:
- how do the options appear in the lockscreen effect options menu
- i think its not in framework-res, because yesterday i messed up with my rom, replaced framework-res with one that hasn't light effect but the option was still there. But when i selected it, got bootloop
I want to figure it out too, if you made a progress, please let me know

Brothet thanks for your support and concern. Well there is much more to place in android.policy.jar and in framework as well. This would take us ages to figure out what has to be done in order to get water colour effect. Only the developers can tell us.
brother I already contacted arsaw but couldn't get any response. Can you ask him maybe he may respond you.
Thanks once again.

Added universal version, intended to work on every i9305 4.3 roms. Please test and give feedback.

Here is a pair of screenshots of my i9305 running TGP 16.01 with your theme. It also has the S5 fonts, Note 3 keyboards, sounds, bootanimation, and themed sms app and S5 launcher. It works flawlessly!
If I could I would make a whole update package.

DPI/Resolution error, perhaps
Hi. I really appreciate the time and effort you're putting into making this custom ROM for Redmi 1s better. :good: Just one thing, though, that really annoys me.
I dont know if this is a bug or not. If this can be helped, please help me... :angel:
The thing is, icons and other screen elements on the home screen are working fine when using the native launcher. Even the screen icon sizes can be changed as per convenience. :good:
But when using Themer ( ht**s : / / play(dot)google(dot)com(slash)store(slash)apps(slash)details?id=com(dot)mycolorscreen(dot)themer ) [sorry, links not allowed ]
,,,,,,, the screen elements of that launcher/theme are not fitting the screen as they are intended to. I have attached some screenshots of the situation. The empty space thus generated is very usable, I can move icons there,,, but I want that border to occupy at least 80% screen space as it was originally intended to.
Is anybody else facing the same problem while using any other launcher??
Can it be achieved via manual DPI changing? What needs to be done? Plz help.
P.S. I dont know wether thats the case, but after some reading I found out that this could be because of the value of DPI the play store is assuming my phone to be having.... the play store DPI settings or something for my phone If so, please tell me how to change it. Very annoyed.. :|

Substratum with no Root!

I know it might still have a few bugs but so far for the most part it's working great! In addition for substratum to work you need to download an Add on.
Test it out and let us know what themes are working! So far I'm using Swift dark
( Please read carefully how it get it to work)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.sungstratum

Yeah I just got mine setup today with Swift Black! My advice is to make sure you do one app at a time. Some apps I had to try a few times for some reason. Also, I've found that at least Swift Black did not theme beta versions of apps.

What is the purpose of this app, if you dont mind my lack of knowledge?

Does this only work on Samsung or all non root devices?

I believe this version is for Samsung, there another version other devices by same developer so go to app store and check the devs other apps.

Substratum with this MOBILE_QF6_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom_FlashFire_Install][Status Official For TMO]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development
Is everything we can dream and the best we will get. With the s8 and note 8 our development is pretty much done

Anyway to make the notifications black and text white?

i used substratum with my s7 edge, for the short time that I had the phone (may its circuits rest in peace) and i loved it! i use it with my s8 now.

Has anyone tried Substratum w/Andromeda plugin after Oreo update?

Well, that's the question. I'm gathering some credits trough Google Rewards and i'm pretty interested in buying the Substratum extension made for Android Oreo. But first i want to know if someone has tried the app in this phone to avoid some useless purchase. Something that i miss from my old Moto X Style is the customization. I could root this thing to do it without any plugin but so far i'm not interested in rooting and all that.

I didn't find any replacements..
I think if You dont wanna root Your phone You should buy Andromeda rootless backend - support devs, because it works.

I'm currenly using the Andromeda... It does work but with some errors n doesn't work well with all themes...

I've got something to show..

Thanks guys. I'll buy it anytime soon then.

I have been using it on 0.8 Verizon edition with no probs, sais oreo theme is a pretty good dark theme.

I am using it. Everything was working until the most recent security update for oreo. Although it may have been me updating my theme, which i did after the security update.
I can't stand all the ads on this phone. Ugh.

I use it with stock Oreo 8.0.0. No issues.
Black theme (forgot the name but it is the most popular one) is nice for the notification bar and settings menu.

Which theme is that?

Its working fine, I'm experiencing no lags.
Black looks beautiful and being AMOLED saves battery also.

Notification issue
The Default Dark Theme works except for some notifications that keep having dark text on dark background (see first notification on the attached image). Is there any way to fix that? My device is not rooted.

I am currently using a pitch black theme that is called Sai's Oreo Theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=baka.sai.oreo&hl=en

I`ve been using Default Dark from F-Droid. Basically switches the Phones/Contacts/Settings/QSettings etc to dark.
The app has one annoyance to it cause you got to connect the phone to the pc if you want to use substratum.
The good stuff is that applied theme survives reboot, so it`s not so bad in the end.
