Blue/Dark ICS themed MMS apk? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im currently on the Andromadus Audacity Beta 3 and love the rom so far, but the MMS apk included kinda sticks out. Is there a way to change the colors of the app so I can get a black background and blue or white text to match the ICS style theme, or is there another apk I can flash to replace the one that came built in with the rom?

Found all over google play

I didnt want an add on app though like go sms or handcent. I like the stock one just not the look of it.

Go SMS is your best bet. It has plenty of themes to suit your needs. It even has quick reply, quick text, (and more) something stock doesn't have. It's a nice app.

Do you know if its safe to remove the stock mms app and use go sms as a standalone?

You don't even have to remove the stock one but you can, or if you want in between freeze stock in titanium backup

Removing the stock mms apk will force close go sms. At least this is what I've found on testing when I was making a rom having only go sms.

I always use go SMS and delete the mms apk via titanium backup. There is a feature that allows it to operate with it deleted

If u want to theme the mms app, you have to decompile mms.apk and go into drawable hdpi folder and change around some of the images. For more complex things you can edit the style.xml file in the decompiled mms apk

[REQ] 2.1 style messaging app for 2.2

So running the beta and all is great. However they decided to include the fascinate style mms.apk. I personally find the "bubble" messaging to be aweful.
Anyone that could port the 2.1 styled mms.apk to 2.2 ?

I 100% agree. I am not digging this new style at all.
Glad someone agrees with me. It looks so childish in my opinion.

Absolutely. You can take the mms.apk out of the froyo zip and put in the original one if you want, that works.

I didn't try putting it in the zip and flashing. But when I removed mms.apk and cleared dalvik/cache then pushed the Mms.apk from 2.1; however it force closed on tapping on any message/settings, etc. It did open though
Have you done this thomas? If so can you provide the Mms.apk you used?

I haven't actually done it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work to put it in the system/app folder of the .zip. pushing is bound to cause fc errors. Try flashing the attached .zip, it won't touch anything other than replacing the mms.apk with the 2.1 version.

Giving it a try now. Will edit with results.
And thank you Thomas. I really should get around to learning how to make flashables lol. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
EDIT:
As before. The Subtext on the Messages/Compose new message turns the orange color, but tapping ANY of them causes a FC. It must be a problem with the TW3 framework vs. the old 2.5 crap.
Try using the handcent text message app?
You can make it look like 2.1 version

I have tried handcent but personally I don't like the interface at all. I guess ill just deal with the bubbles for the time being.

Here is one that works. I Kanged it from CM6. Flash through clockwork. And YES you can change the background to black. Change it in the MMS settings
http://www.4shared.com/file/QW0Hs2rE/AOSP_FROYO_Mms.html
For those of you who want the AOSP MMS app then push this file to /system/app and you should have stock style CM6 MMS with the MMS notification in the TW lockscreen. This MMS apk is from CM6 modified to work with TW lockscreen from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829273

Thank you for that. Muuuch better.

I tried to go back to the the basic mms on my evo. But couldn't keep away from hanscent. Can customize way too much, not a bad thing, but I spend a lot of time tweaking it just right. so i love it now lol
CyanogenMod-6.1 mms.apk here I tried hancent, being picky ... I just dont care for the UI and the widget looks like crap but its a good app just not for me.

Can I just delete the mms.apk that's already installed and install CM's? I remember reading some posts about people having problems with picture messages breaking without the original MMS.apk.

I doubt the stock ROM supports Emoji.. it would display it as a box.

Get the emoji plug in from different SMS/MMS clients on the Play Store

I could actually see emojis in the stock messenger, and throughout the system by changing the fonts in the system files..... but they appear white and black, but through CM9s apk messenger they could be seen in color and I'll prefer that .
Edit: to JayRokk I prefer the stock ics look thats why im looking for this alternative I would rather not download alternatives like gosms or hand cent =\

[REQ] Number of SMS messages per sender MOD

Hi,
is there any mod that would show the number of SMS messages per contact in stock SMS app, like in old Sense versions?
Device One X and Sense 4.1
Not sure about mods but the ics messaging app on play store has this feature

I know, but i like Sense stock sms app .
I don’t think there is a mod. But you can try a different messaging app like Handcent SMS. You can make it look like the stock messaging app by modifying the theme and color settings.

Emoji on Touchwiz

I was looking for a way to get Emoji on stock touchwiz roms and have found a way. It works, I didn't flash it I only opened zip and transferred files over manually (same as flash?) however, it is working. I think it made my message app fc sometimes but its very uncommon and it may have nothing to do with this mod. All credit goes to the original dev please give thanks there! Also you can see the emojis throughout the system not just messaging app however, only colorful emoji are shown in messaging app otherwise they are black and white outlines. If anybody knows how to fix this let me know or do it and share.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922104
Also as you can see its for the galaxy s3 i9305 so if any devs can look into and make necessary changes (if needed) to make this a US variant mod, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways thanks for reading and hope I helped!
ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section!
would this enable you to see the ones iPhone users use?

Yea my girl has an iphone and she sends me emoji all the time (reason why looked for this mod). The only thing is that the color emoji will only show in the messaging app and they will be black and white crap everywhere else. Including the text box in the keyboard even when using the keyboard in the messaging app.
Dude yes I want emoji!!!!!

follow guide in the link, it works in the messaging app. You will still have to use the emoji keyboard in play store but they will actually show up instead of a blank space.
Emoji is now built into the UVDLJC build, no need to flash any files.
Synergy rom has an emoji keyboard basically its just a keyboard where you can enter tons of emoji's
