Nothing more to add besides the title. I have a black, gray, aqua theme going and I'm tired of chompsms screwing things up and handscent sucking period. The stock messaging app is white and I can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas?

See if you can push the Mms.apk from CyanogenMod. You can make it have a black background with white text and many other things.
This is going to sound like a newbie question, but how would I do that? I've pushed apks before via file manager, but never one that was from a rom.

I haven't tried it, but...
go to settings/applications and check "unknown sources" to allow software from outside the market.
get a rom that has the apk you want, rename the rom to .zip, unzip it, and pull the apk from system/app. Put it on your sdcard and install via file manager.

I got all the way up to the install park. Apparently it's the same apk as the regular messaging app (except the ability to customize it, of course) so when I got to the installation screen it asked me if I wanted to browse the apk or "uninstall". I tried uninstall so I could install the modded one, to no success (it is a baked in app).
I guess I'll have to wait til I decide to root (which really means, when a stable CM rom comes out).
Try Handcent. Its in the market..free and pretty cool.

Chomp is more stable, less laggy and consumes less battery life. My only issue with it is that whenever someone sends me a picture, it keeps bringing up the same picture someone sent me over a month ago. It sucks, but oh well. Until root, I'm sticking with it.

It might work if it had a higher version number or a different java name... sounds like a little project for the EZ Bake oven.
or you could root your phone.
Sent from my CyanogenMod Vision
Wait, did you say your phone wasnt't rooted? If not then there is nothing you can do because its a /system app, and to modify /system files you need root.
If you do have root, you can save the cm apk to your desktop and use
"adb remount
Adb push C:/Users/(name) /Desktop/Mms. apk /system/app/Mms. apk"
From a command prompt. Otherwise you can use a root file explorer to copy the app into the /system/app directory.

So I am not sure if anyone has posted or done this yet, but when on CM7, the model number of our phone is changed to HTC Vision instead of T-Mobile G2. With this change, we are not able to take full functionality of the T-Mobile My Account app. It says you are using a non T-Mobile device.
To change this. Open up the build.prop file and edit the following in a text editor.
Change this...
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=vision
To this...
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=T-Mobile
After doing so, save and exit, or save and place back in the /system folder if you edited on your computer

A reboot is needed for the changes to happen. But it gave me full use of the My Account/My Device app from T-Mobile.

thanks i was wondering about this a couple weeks ago lol
Yeah, I know nothing about coding and all that stuff, pretty much know just what to do when I read instructions.. lol..
but this issue had been bugging me so I decided to just look around and when I looked in the build.prop file I saw where it said HTC Vision, decided to change it to T-Mobile G2 to see if it would do anything, and wala, it did. lol.
did it work for you?

Thanks, wondering about this as well. Running CM6.1.1, I just needed to change the model.
you're welcome! glad I could be of help!
Thanks for this, it does indeed improve a few issues.
Edit: After using this and rebooting, Swype complained that I'm using it from a different device than intended, and that it will operate with limited functionality.
Just letting you guys know in case the issue comes up for you as well.
So after finding the file, I changed it, editing with two different apps, and each time I went to save, I got an "error trying to save" for both apps. I did a reboot, and also attempted with Myaccount installed and uinstalled.
What could be causing the error?
What would be the process using the PC? ADB?

Basically you need to do it from your phone. I use root explorer.
Navigate to the /system folder
Mount r/w (up in the right hand corner of root explorer)
Long press on the build.prop file
Scroll down to Open in Text Editor
Once in the text editor, find and change those 2 lines.
Hit menu > save & exit
Then reboot your phone

If you have root explorer you can edit it straight from the phone.(reboot required afterwards)
I downlaod the CM nightlies to my pc then edit the build.prop as well as add in/change some system apps(swype and the swype lib file, quick office, and an older email.apk that doesn't require pin lockscreen on exchange) then move to the phone and flash.

I did from the phone before. I have just been reluctant to purchasing Root Explorer. I finally did after reading your post, if it didnt work return within 15, but it worked. I am now keeping it.
The two other apps claimed SU, but none actually asked for permission. This is what was the issue.
Thanks for the help.

I actually prefer SU File Manager & Terminal.
It's $1.99 and does zip support, file browsing, /system remount, multi-select, built-in Terminal(!), PC explorer over WiFi (which Root Explorer doesn't even have - and Root Explorer costs ~$3 more!)
Plus it's made by someone here at XDA so I appreciate it even more
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.protocol.x.su.fbs&feature=search_result
That's the link if you want to check it out. It came as a no-brainer to me to buy that instead of Root Explorer because it has more features AND has a less expensive price tag.
Please excuse my somewhat off-topicness, just trying to help out though
Edit: Also ON-TOPIC, I got my build.prop working with Swype by editing it from SU FBS (the app I mentioned above) and by only editing the ro.product.model like jojeda64 said.

I know this thread is a little dated, but just an update. When I changed both lines, Swype stopped working and threw an error. I changed the brand value back and both Swype worked and the T-Mobile "My Device" app did as well. The correct brand value for me was "tmobile".
Hope this is helpful. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread. Answered a question I had.

Update, a friend sent did it for me. So all is good!
I have no problems using the T-Mobile My Account app with the default CM7 build.prop, everything shows up as it should. My gripe with the My Account app is that it doesn't work over Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the tip on SU File Manager. I love Root Explorer, but it lacks support for Windows/SMB shares, which is kind of a hassle. Currently I use ES File Explorer for share browsing and Root Explorer for everything else. I'll have to look into SU File Manager though.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the info.
I just recently installed Koni's Elite Series III. It is my favorite ROM so far. One thing that i cant get to work is the HTC Music, and htc Music Widget apps. He has them as an optional download on the ROM page. I downloaded them, put them on the root of my sd card, and tried to flash the .zip file through clockwork mod. it says Installing update...
Installing HTC Music and Widget...
Done.
Install from sdcard complete.
When I boot back up nothing has changed and the apps are not there. so i tried extracting the apk's to the sdcard's extracted folder and installing them from there and it says application not installed. I even tried to move the apk's to the system\apps folder and install them from there but still no dice.
I tried to figure out how to post this on the rom page but I guess xda doesnt want people asking questions on dev posts haha. hopefully someone can help! Thanks!

The first thing I would do, is check your permissions on both the Music apk, and the music widget apk. Navigate to /system/app, find the htcMusic.apk, and long press it, then select 'permissions'. Make sure that it's set the same as the other system apps. Most likely you just need to be sure that User: read and write are both checked. Once the permissions are set for both of them, reboot the phone and see if that worked.
sweet!
Worked like a charm! I didnt even think about that. Thanks a bunch!!

Ya seriously! so would you know by chance how to get the htc music 2x3 widget? I thought thats what the .com.htc.musicwidget.apk was, but strangely enough that is the standard android 1x3 music widget.... I was hoping to get the htc one because its twice the size and i can control the song without going into the app, plus when the screen is locked it has controls on top of the lock bar

ya, i pulled it from another rom (stock turbo) that has the 2x3 widget. in fact while i was on that rom earlier today (to get this, and the flashlight app) i renamed the com.htc.musicwidget.apk to com.htc.music.widget.blk and the widget disapeared. so.... the htc.musicwidget.apk must be the right file, but why would it only give me the option for the regular android 1x3 widget..... and ya the permissions are the same as all the other widgets. user has read and write and everyone else has just read. I just renamed the htc.musicwidget.apk on my phone on koni's to htc.musicwidget.apk and the android music 1x3 is still there. so i dont think that they are connected, the apk probably just isnt installing right

I would re download your widget, and try again. Are you sure the file didn't get corrupted? (Size is the same as it is in the rom you took it from) The 1x3 widget you're describing sounds like its the widget for the stock android music player, which I also believe is included in konis elite. That would tell me that something isnt right with your com.htc. MusicWidget.apk. did you name it right? (Capitals matter, it can't be all lower case. The m and the w both need tone capitals.

Hi. Im wondering if there is a modified gallery apk floating around. I really hate picasa, with a passion. Even if it isnt the 3D gallery, I dont care. When I remove the gallery and use a third party viewer app, we cant set lock screen wallpapers. Thanks!
SOLVED
Under Accounts and Sync|Google, uncheck the Sync Picasa Web Albums box and they wont show up in the Gallery.
My fav picture viewing app that I bring with me to every rom I run is QuickPic. Its super small and fast and does everything I want it to, including setting homescreen and lockscreen pics.
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbGVuc3cuUGljRm9sZGVyIl0.
If you're referring to the fact that your email auto checks for new mail every 30 min. you can go into your email settings and set the frequency of checking email to "Never".

Remove the stock gallery and you can not set lock screen wallpapers, even with quikpic. Which Ive used on all of my devices. Looking to remove the picasa sync option altogether which you cant do unless you remove the 3d gallery, but then you cant set lock screen wallpapers. Hence the search for a modified stock gallery.
SOLVED
I've never seen my email app use any inordinate amount of battery life as a result of it running in the background nor have I ever read a post of how someones stock email client is draining batt life. Is that whats happening to you?
And to avoid the issue of setting wallpapers with other apps, just don't remove the stock gallery app and the 3rd party apps you use should set wallpapers just fine. If you don't like the stock app, don't use it. But to remove it altogether sounds like its leading to problems.
Not sure what you mean by remove Picasa sync option altogether. Just uncheck the box and its done, no more syncing, or are you referring to removing the menu enrty/option altogether under Accounts and Sync|Google.
If so I guess I'll go now. It sounds like you want dev help from someone willing to work on code for you. Thats waaay outta my league.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your phone blowing up, freezing, bootlooping, your partner leaving you or your cat dying. Make a nand.
I modified the stock Gallery apk so that I wouldnt have the "Sync Picasa" option under the accounts in "Accounts & Sync".
I really do not like having that option in there, so I solved my problem.
I have attached the Gallery apk to share if anyone else is as picky as I am.
I simply moved it to /system/app, overwriting or deleting the original, then fixed the permissions. I kept the original odex file. Rebooted and all is well.
Extract the zip/rar file and use the apk inside.
I hope some of you find this useful.

You got me. I'm not a dev just a tinkerer. Be certain that it's named correctly, no spaces, perhaps at the beginning of the file name etc.. When you copy it to /system/app it should ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. That'll tell you it's named correctly. Unless there is something else that you're missing, it should work, as it worked for me. I wish I could do it for you, man. I simply copied the apk from my sd external and pasted it into /system/app, fixed the permissions and rebooted. After the reboot, I confirmed the gallery worked then I cleared cache and dalvik just for the heck of it. Really sorry it's not working for you as easily as it did for me.

Even after so many leaks, it seems like samsung engineers are not able to make the stock browser do text wrap, is it possible to extract the Evo 4g LTE and install it on our phone as it works perfectly on that phone.
I don't think so as it would be a sense system apk. If someone were to take the time to decompile the apk and make the necessary changes it might work. Dolphin hd is a very nice web browser, and it's free on the market.

Technically, it's possible. But without heavily modifying it to remove the Sense parts, you'll be left with a minimally functioning browser. Better off using a 3rd party one. You can use a custom launcher to change the icon if that's what bothers you. There's literally thousands of icon packs throughout the web.

pull the AOSP browser from cm9 and use something like file manager/root explorer to move it to the system/app folder.. change permissions and try that one, i use it and i think text wrap works pretty well for most websites. plus the extended quick controls are money.

Thank you so much, I am not a techie, so will have to depend on someone else, I will look around and see if someone has pulled, can post it.
download file manager-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5yaG1zb2Z0LmZtIl0.
download attachment- From Darch's CM9(if there are any issues with posting it here, please lemme know and i'll delete it)
open file manager - hit menu soft key, select settings, scroll to bottom and check root explorer and mount system folders
hit back key, long press on the browser apk you downloaded and hit copy, hit up twice (or enough times till the folder selected is "/") , select system->app
rename "secbrowser.apk" to secbrowser.bak or whatever you like, paste the copied browser, long press on it and select permissions, in the second column deselect group/others. hit menu softkey->settings-> turn off root explorer
if all went well, you should now have the aosp browser in your app drawer
if you dont like, and want to revert changes... just go back and rename secbrowser to apk and delete (or rename the browser.apk->bak) the one you pasted earlier

Yes that is what I wanted...give me some time I will install EL29 take a screen shot and then install ICS an take a screen shot and will let you know...I am surprised that it works on EVO LTE out of the box and does not even after samsung guys working or not working on it for so long...There are a few things like this which I am using to decide which phone to buy next SG3 or EVO LTE as I measure the support and response of the manufacturer by these kind of user issues and consistency they provide.
EL29 vs ICS FF text auto wrap
here I am posting my screen shots...
ICS screen shots
ICS does not even allow pinch zoom..so not sure how to explain...but then that is also the main point...how can i stop pinch zooming suddenly only on this phone?
Have u tried ICS browser or ICS browser + from the playstore? Both are the stock browser but modified, they work well for me but I don't use tw ICS leaks I'm using AOkP
