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?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!
Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2
It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.
Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.
Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.
That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.
Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

was using this on my previous phone..

if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,
Hey guys. I just flashed to the latest UnNamed ROM and I was wondering if there were any themes out there that are compatible with it. I really hate the default android green color.

If you try mine please let me know if they work??
Venum,
I have your minimal theme for the unnamed, mostly black and white, and loving it.
Thanks, some fine work.

green to blue
All I really want is to change the green system color to blue (or purple or pink lol). I hate that android green color. Would be nice to have a transparent notification dropdown too.
I love the icons in the power button menu and in the settings and that is my problem. Most themes are like super themes that change everything. I really just want to change the green stuff like the download bar, highlights in the extended notification...and so on.
Maybe this can be a challenge for someone. LOL I will keep hoping.
Hey venum, if I change my avatar to a chick's face will you help me with compiling?? Haha

Hahaha awesome.
If anyone has an update on some cool themes for the UnNamed Rom for the Epic 4g Touch please let me know, I've tried a couple but I want to change it up a bit more with different themes, though I haven't really seen many themes, around two.
Love this rom....and I don't want to ditch it for for some other rom bc of the lack of themes

Apparently, most of the current themes out there work on UnNamed.

You will loose most of the UnNamed custom edits if you flash any of the themes out there. None of them are made especially for UnNamed. Check the UnNamed Goodies thread in themes and apps for a few things you may like.
Like playya said... I have found that most of all the themes work. Sometimes causing modificaions of the rom itself... I WAS using Unnamed with a combination of the ICS theme made for Blazer and some add on made for another rom.. All worked fine. But i got tired of all the "blue" color, so i flashed back to regular unnamed with rogue " gunslinger "... Nice colors.. Great batt life and 5000+ quadrent score @1400-200 LAZY...

alright thank you for the replies!!
Eh, still kinda confused. I went to the themes section in the E4GT section. I see themes, but a lot of them say they work only on some specific roms. Should I still try them and see if they work? I'm worried about messing up my phone. :/
Okay, so I just themed my phone. Once it restarted, it said I had an update...so I restarted it like it told me to do. But the little android guy with the triangle and ! mark in the triangle came up....
what gives?
please help if no one is too busy :/

You are on a custom ROM, and Sprint was unable to update your phone because of that. Not that you want to update the stock ROM considering you installed a custom ROM in the 1st place...

Honestly every theme out there will work as long as it's not for a source the too different from yours (eg. EK02 rom using and EL29 theme). The worst that can happen with some themes, especially with UnNamed's rom, is that you'll lose certain functionalities. For instance, using suwu10's red or blue themes will cause you to lose the scrolling toggles in the drop down notification bar.
Other than that everything will be pretty much the same. Keep in mind that it will replace your rom's apk's with the themed apk's from whatever rom that theme was built for. So if you like say, the mms app from UnNamed, you'll want to delete it out of the theme's .zip before flashing.
Hello All,
If you frequently look in the themes and apps section you will know I made a theme called Black Android...but I've hit a road bump as such which is stopping it going any further.
Basically, my theme needs to have white font text or it won't match the colors of the theme I'm making. So, I decompiled the framework-res.apk from Android Revolution 2.1.2 and went into values\colors.xml. I changed the colour of Holo_Blue_Light to the white color code, compiled the APK and flashed it, the font turned white. But, here's the weird thing. I'm trying to add support for Android 4.0.3 doing EXACTLY the same thing with no changes, and the lockscreen screws up and all the apps are off by alot. So, I need your help themers of XDA. Why is it working with ARHD but NOT any other ROM? Has anyone else tried changing the font color other than me? If so, what were the results? I've asked plenty of people to test it themselves and they got the same issues as me. It seems Android Revolution HD is the only ROM that allows a font color change.
It doesn't make sense. All I am doing is changing a color of a predetermined text, from blue to white.
If you need anymore info ask.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

as far as i know, the whole framework changed on 4.0.3 ...
so you may find the new codes ... or maybe the codes belongs now also to other apk's or .jar files ...

hi,
your idea could look good. Theming is easy if u know how to decompile and recompile but its a lot of work editing every single image and 9.png. Probably u could learn it and find some dudes who can help u. i worked with a guy who learned it by himself and now he is doing his themes. His theme is the black infinitum(razor(x))...ask him if he can help u, he is good
Good luck
Edit
sorry didn#t saw ur last post with the white background What u need is to change the textcolor in the xmls. don´t know wich one =/ by the way if u didn´t decomiled the apk u have to do it to be able to edit xmls.
I havent had a play yet with ICS but if its still similar to GB you'll need to decompile and edit framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml.
This might help you:
http://www.anddev.org/tutorial_ui_themes-t4367.html
I was going to look at putting my own style into the framework and then re-directing to the theme by editing the manifest as described above but i never got around to it.
Hope this helps.

think i may have biten off more than i can handle lol i am a android phone user love installing new roms and tweakin to make my roms fast and long batt . but then it comes to editing xml and other stuff like that well i can well put my hands up and say i dont know were to even start lol but im one to learn and give it a go . thanks guys for the info . just want to know if theres a propper guide to android theme ... xml/photo/edit ... but i know i can push this out fast if i know what im doing once going there aint no stopping a new color everyday or nerly every 2 days ... blue green pink orange yellowwhat ever color. it will all be done as i know ppl want this . i for one want suming like this . not just (black/blue ics) cm9/aokp/sammy roms but think of it like "skittles taste the rainbow"... o and just to say i know i can ask devs to help but the way i think about it is if sumone shows me the bases of a how to then i can cut out the middle man waiting on him to add the last bits to the theme when i can do it all once been shown then i will defo be able to push new themes out once a day

cant thank u enuf this looks like what i need to get this ball rolling give me a nite and day and see what happens thanks
Your welcome.
xml editing isnt difficult at all, if the link i posted earlier does work then it would save a massive amount of time editing apk's to match your theme, instead you tell apk's to use your pre configured theme.
I might do a bit of testing next week when im in a relatively stable state.
White black and blue would look nice ....on the notification bar
