Looking for help from you themers on Message icon - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Ok you great Themer's Overstew and Tiffany have been of great help to me on theming my phone, as are a bunch of you other great and helpful people here. See if you can figure this out for me please.
I am running Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6 theme. Tiffany made a cool blue theme Messaging app, that is for the stock Samsung text, she did a fantastic job . But I have to say the stock Samsung messaging app is a piece of garbage, and belongs in the trash bin Pissed me off so much last week, in how limited it is, compared to my favorite GO SMS. On the Samsung text, if you get a picture text, you have no option to save it, and good luck forwarding that pic, I tried several times keeps saying "sending..." And then my Brother was texting me a "V-card" with a cousins address info, normally I can grab that vcard and it goes right to my Google contacts, not in the Samsung text, it read it as some ****ing audio file or some **** Basically I will NEVER use the stock Samsung text messagin again, GO SMS is light years ahead of it in functionality, and some cool ICS themes are out for it.
Rant over...my question is this, so I am using GO SMS now, and I want it in the bottom launcher bar, with the 5 rows, I go to "Application" press "Edit" and drag the GO SMS icon down in the bottom 5 row launcher, but it does not show missed texts with the little red # in the corner, it just shows the green GO icon, I have to use a tiny Widget of GO SMS to show missed texts, I put that on the home screen, and tried dragging that down into the launcher, but it does not allow drag and drop icons from the home screens ?
What I would love if somehow possible, is Tiffany's cool blue Messaging icon there instead, but when I press it, have it launch GO SMS instead of going to the default Samsung Messaging, is that possible ? I know on some other launchers I think you can set it to launch a different app, but still show the default icon ?
Thanks ahead time

Tiffany's blue Messaging themed icon at bottom, that I love, but hate the default Samsung app it launches too;

And this is how it looks with the GO SMS icon down there, but never shows a little red icon # next to it, and I hate the green color of it too;

Bumping this thread to see if anyone can help ?
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6

If you can pull the apk all you have to do is swap the icon from the one you want to your app of choice. You would have to resign the app so that it works and push back to the system. That is all they are doing to my knowledge. If you can pull the apk to a computer, open it with an archive program like 7zip and you might not even have to sign it, just drag the images you want in there and go. Otherwise apps like desktop visualizer don't allow you to use the widget badges for numbers and messages etc.
Hope that helps

Someone throw me a pulled SMS GO app (latest version).

Try this. (You MUST push it via ADB or place it into a flashable zip format.)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37471265/EditedGoSMS.zip Let me know if the icon needs resizing.

How would you put in into a flashable zip?

Stew are you sure thats the GoSMS apk, all there is in there are tools for apk's.

Just push or flash the apk that Overstew sent you, then somewhere in settings there may be an option for missed messages. Or use a widget that may come with it?

oh god.
i gotta try this.
Sounds very nice
will test it now
greets doena
Nice. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Will try it right away.
any screen shots?
Can I disable the vibration feedback if I use another program for those?
it doesnt look that nice i liked htctoucher's manilla keyboard. other than that, its great!
i see that you have manilla as a theme, is that supposed to look like htctoucher's?
oh my god.. i just soiled my self.. been worrying that PCM keyboard will become vapor.. and now.. weehee.. i'm in heaven..
thanks tene..
just an afterthought.. is the 0.14 dictionary and skin files still applicable on this new engine/version? because i hate to redo all my added words in my dictionary.. and i've kinda got used - and i mean very USED.. to the point that i no longer look at the screen when i type - to my home made skin.. and i'm still thinking of using them even on this new version..
The word.txt appears to work, but how do I use my old .layout files? Also, what's the settings title bar name? I want to add a whitelist for ftouchsl, but the settings menu covers up the entire screen even if I try to change the window.
If I go through the system Settings page and click Options under Input, I get a popup that says "UserOptionsDlg"
nice. Best SIP ever. I'll have to try the new one.
deleted....
installed fine but couldn't select it as the sip; got a weird popup message (don't remember it now).

same here doesn't work as expected in my vga screen
thank you for sharing ..let me try this
+1 for the popup when trying to go into options menu "UserOptionsDlg"
other than that it seems as fast and functional as know for
the only thing that kept it from beeing perfect for me was the bug with the word suggestion, when you had to hit the back button to get a number to send a message to
I took a look at the manila.zip.. and it has all the images.
for some reason though, the keyboard, when selected as manila skin, does not look like it is using the png images.
dream and manila look the same, i cant seem to switch between (or there is no difference registering).
does it show up for you tene? or any one else?

everytime I choose a different skin other than the 2 defaults "Dream" & "manilla" it reverts back to 1 of them. Are the previous .zip skins still compatible with this version?
This new version wouldn't even let me open the options. I get a pop up & when I click ok, it doesn't open.
Thank youuuU!!

go into messaging then bring up keyboard then choose PCM keyboard...once the default PCM keyboard pop's up then hold down on the PCM keyboard "Return" key which will then pop up to allow to change "options".

[theme] - mixtape - [by kllngtme] - for rc33

okay so here it is, my official release of this theme. it's still in progress but i figured i'd get it out there so people can leave me feedback and see what they want added/changed. The whole thing is based around a hardcore type of theme but I had no idea where to go with it. It's pretty plain for now but it's a nice look. The notification bar is awesome IMO. If there are any icons or things taken from other themes that I still havent updated or changed to make my own, this is a thankyou to all the other themer's out there.
You can't see from the preview but it has a cassette tape as the VM notification.
It should work with anyone who has a JF RC33 mod (I have JF 1.42 rc33). Don't blame me if you brick your phone.
the battery icon is the black flag logo for an FYI (currently in the picture it's reading 80%)

Looks good so far. If your going for the whole music/mixtape theme I would say change the icons to cassette tapes or CDs with the program name written on there. That would look cool.
nice clean and simple...

that's not a bad idea at all. I was trying to figure out ways for different icons but it's tough when you are trying to like match icons with certain themes..
i'll fool around with some ideas based around the whole cassette tape/cd thing. i'll see how it looks on the phone and such.
for the dialer I had records for the numbers and when you clicked or selected a number it would be a broken record but it wasn't looking right when it was setup so i went with standard buttons for the dialer instead.
where did you get the icons? would be nice to be able to use alternate apps.. I use K9SMS and StarContact instead of Messaging and Contacts
I like the black flag logo. Nice work

i made the icons pretty much. either they were done completely by me or i took an image i found off google and then stripped it and or modified it to be my own and work more with this theme.

The messaging icon is the stock icon without the smiley face and instead of using the white already on the stock icon i used a beige color more towards the colors used in the theme.
i use the stock messaging and contacts, you can do whatever you like to make this theme better fit you. this is how my phone looks. as for using alternate apps, sure, use whatever the hell you want.. you can change any app icon you want using bettercut (or you could manually change it in the apk)
anyone using this theme yet?

I am. I like it. I mainly downloaded it for the dialer screen and the couple of icons that are nice here (browser, battery, vm). I realize that you're still working on it, and look forward to other changes.

Sweeter Home Skins from this thread:
Dark Rising - by Puny Weakling

PLEASE post here or email me with any probs. I have no idea how sharable this is or how your trays will appear. The wallpaper should use what ever your system has set as wallpaper. Disable WallCal if you have it.
FEEDBACK on installation please!!!!

Works?
wow thanks again your amazing :]
neat!!..so clean..good job man
Thanks team! I'll work on some new ideas soon. There's some good opportunity to build customer wallpapers into the skin too.
With Dark Rising how did you find the trays loaded with your apps? Did you have to do much drag/dropping to customise the trays the way you want?
how do you make themes for sweeter home?
Nice Job
Installed w/o a hitch - you might want to mention the directory to copy the .sly file to, [sweeterhome] in case people might not already be aware. All of my icons in your trays ended up being copies of the default - e.g., browser, camera, mail, maps.... Incidentally I have about 330 apps installed, so I likely have most of the same as you.
Also, the right side screen is hard to swipe to the left from, as you cannot switch screens by swiping on anything other than the desktop itself - this is an issue with sweeterhome itself, so I'll mention it at the app's website, as I'm sure it bugs many other people, especially when they want to maximize the desk space.

Are you talking about the contacts sreen (to the right of the middle screen) I left the whole bottom section of the screen clear for swipping (aside from the contacts icon). Or do you mean you'd prefer to be able to swipr from anywhere on that screen. You could always move the contacts list and the favs list up to the top of the screen giving you more real estate underneath and then re-saving. Anyway the dev is thinking of ways to fix this too. Might require a significant re-write.
Thanks man. Greatly appreciate you sharing.
I'm currently working on one right now to match with the Aero theme. I'll upload a few pics of what I have done in a bit.
Double post ><
What I have so far. Screens are top, middle, left.
Any suggestions? I've been trying to think what I could do with the left/bottom and how to work on the right screen.
I've currently changed the borders so they are bigger and black. Not sure if I'll keep it though, I like the white. I've also managed to add the name of the docks on the top ones.
I'm also planning a completely different setup for when the phones in landscape mode.

[Request] [Jellybean] "stock" google notification icons

I'm offering a $5 bounty (paypal) for someone to help me out with a statusbar mod for the stock JB nandroid ROM floating around if I can get it. I can't believe how elusive this is, but I don't want the white/black notification icons in my status bar. I want them to be colorful and not dimmed like the current status bar makes the icons look. I would prefer they look just like the stock icons from 2.3 or 2.2, small versions of the icons within the app drawer. So far, I've only found them so far in crazy cartoon styles, or in a flat color (all orange or purple or blue, not stock), which I'm not into. If someone could please just make a flashable zip file for this, I'd appreciate this.
I've tried installing Apktool in windows and linux, and every time i get a bad install that won't decompile anything or the one time I got it decompiled, editing systemui.apk would work for about 5 minutes every time I pushed it and rebooted. but after the first notification (from any of the edited .png's) it would revert back to the B/W scheme. I can't find a tutorial of an apk do-recompile that is simple enough for me to get it to work, nor can I get apktool working properly. I have also not found a singleI'm striking out in every way imaginable. Can someone please help me?
I would really appreciate this if someone can help me out. I'll offer a $10 reward if someone is willing to help me get apktool up and running and walk me through the decompile, edit, and recompile of the app myself so I can learn.
Thanks to anyone who looks at this and offers some assistance
Which icons exactly do you want changed?

Primarily, ALL G-apps. I would like all of those icons to look the same as the app icons that are in the app drawer. gmail, email, gtalk, messaging, playstore (updates available, install complete), play music, etc. I'm not sure if that is specific enough, but if it's not I'll do what I can to make them more specific.
Also, I used the newer apkmulti-tool and got the apk decompiled.... but now I can't find any "Stat_notify_xxx.png" in ANY of the drawable folders... Maybe the notification icons are confined to the apps themselves now? When I was doing this before, I was trying on a sense ROM, so maybe that is why I'm confused?
I think I saw these once in a rom... or theme... whenever I'd get a gmail it would show on the status bar and it would pulse red on the gmail outline (M) until notification bar dropped ...

wait, so this launcher theme will alter my status bar notification icons without root? or are you saying this theme will give the "glow" effect when I get a notification on the app icon itself?
I am actually looking for a notification icon mod, like the real tiny ones in the status bar when you receive a new email, sms, etc. and not an adw theme. I prefer to use the stock launcher.
Thanks anyway

Ah. Well, and this not a knock on you, but this is the only kind of help I've been able to receive so far: "a long time ago I used to have a phone that did it, try pulling the pngs from a ROM" or I get a link to a theme I can't use again this is nothing against you, but just a statement of frustration that I seem to be the only one unhappy with the b/w notification icons.

The app icons are contained in the apps themselves most of the time. If you want to learn to apktool pm me

thats the Rom i tried but it does not like what it described
It is sooooo simple once you know how, and I'll teach you right now.
use the dialer and press the button to check email.
then look in the logs of the dialer and add the number that was dialed to your contacts as message
then, do this:
1. Long press on an empty space on your homescreen
2. Select “Shortcuts”
3. Select “Direct dial”
4. Select Contact you wish to have as a direct dial - that would be "Message" or whatever you named that contact
To add a direct dial shortcut on a device running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich):
1. Press the main app drawer icon (middle icon in system tray)
2. Scroll to “Widgets” folder (on the right) until you reach the “Direct Dial” widget
3. Press and hold the “Direct dial” widget until you see the home screen grid
4. Release the direct dial widget wherever you’d like your widget (shortcut) to appear on the home screen
5. Once you release the widget (shortcut) it will pull up your Contacts list
6. Select Contact you wish to have as a direct dial
You do not have to do both. Just one of the sets, depending on your ROM version.
Good Luck & Aloha!
thanks
but hmm actually did u see the screen shot at the last pic?
what i want is the message button at left down corner but after i flash the rom its voice mail
any idea?

Then it's even simpler...
longpress on the homescreen and select add shortcuts
at the next screen, select Applications
Then just scroll to the messaging application of your choice...... it would be messaging if you had not installed any thing like chomp or whatever.
That's all, but you will not be able to change the icon on the dialer to go to something other than whatever is programmed in the dialer app itself... Which for all the roms I've seen, its Voicemail Messages.
Here is the only one I can find and it has the msg button you want.
you can easily have it pushed to your phone for nstallation by clicking on the link, and when the screen changes to the playstore site, click on the install box on the top left.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acts29.SmartDial&hl=en
I presume you don't read Korean so when you open the app, there will be 2 check boxes on the right side, just below the midpoint of the screen. check both and press the yes on the bottom of the screen This is the EULA for the app.
When the app opens, you can press settings on the top right and tap the Language setting down arrow and select English
There are a bunch of options you can choose or not to have enabled..
The app is free, so if you don't like it, uninstall, and no loss....
If you want to just do it from the phone, go to market, and search for Smartdial
You will see 2. Pick the one with (Dialer)
you should be good to go.
With this app, no matter what ROM you use or choose in the future, it will have your msg button!
Hope it solves your quest!
Aloha!
thanks
hmm but lol still kinda not what i want sorry
good idea though
just wondering how to custom the dialer app now :s
