I found the solution in the play store. I downloaded 8 sms stock messaging app and in the setting it has an entry for dark theme and when it was checked in two places it switched over to a black background. when I tried to check it in the stock messaging app it did nothing. So I hope that this helps anybody that has switched to Android 4.4

Here too
This is the one from the nexus 5,but dark themed. Myself and some others are trying to get an mms akin to the one used from 4.2 (bubbles,custom background,etc),so if you know anything about theming,feel free to join in

With this app,you have o be rooted and then push this to system/priv-app ,fix your permissions to rw-r-r and rename the old one to Mms.bak. Have fun

[request] black backgroud/pop-pup [DONE]

Hi,
Since I know nothing in theming I have a "little request". I don't want a whole theme but I would just a theme (with vrtheme? So it can be universal) for black background/black pop-up or at least the black pop-up (menu for the system, long press on screen, widget list, and some apps like for the black background). I know some apps uses their own background for example and not the system background but with the link below, actually all my apps have now a black background. I just miss the pop-ups...
I say "at least" because for the black background I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688896&highlight=black+background but unfortunately the pop-up remains gray
I know there is some themes with black pop-up but these whole themes doesn't suits my needs and I don't know how to edit them to have just what I want...
A "all in one" black background/pop-up would be great
So if someone could do that I would be very grateful
Thanks in advance
EDIT: done by antiochasylum (a big thanks to him)
See the attachment for the vrtheme he did (also posted by him in the second page).

Hi,
I have no doubt about that, therefore I request this to all the themer's
Because I have not any knowledge in this kind of mods... But here some themer's make a hell of a job for a whole theme, that's why I think just a black background/pop-up is softer. Maybe I'm wrong...

Nope, I figured it out. Sadly I cannot get VR theme to work with it, I manually replaced the images.
Do you know how to pull your framework of your current rom and send it to me?
Edit: nevermind, I had a brain fart. Here is the VR theme to black out pop ups and backgrounds.
Let me know if it works, it works on my device.

All is fine with CheckROM EvoHD V4, just Play Store that has a white pop-up (just need inverted gapps for this if I remember right), other than that it's perfect for all that I have tested. Black bacground and black pop-up this is what I wanted, everything was gray is now black
I love...
Thanks for your work!

Hi,
I'm not sure that it will work on Jelly Bean rom... It's not a whole theme, just black backgrounds and pop-ups. The blue icones from my screenshots come from another mod, just in case
You can try but Nandroid backup first
And just flash it via CMW.

[Q] Possible to install AOSP Messaging app on TouchWiz ROM?

Hi all,
After trying out CM10.1, I've found it to be a little too unstable at this early stage and have flashed back to Wanamlite. I can live with TouchWiz for now, but the one app on TouchWiz I really can't stand is the Messaging/SMS app.
Is it possible to flash an AOSP/vanilla version of the Android messaging app onto my phone?
Would it need to replace the TouchWiz one, or would it work side-by-side with it?
Where could I get an up to date AOSP SMS app?
Any help would be great!

Thanks mate I saw that - but seems to have a few bugs at present. Was wondering if it was possible to get the app another way.
Its possible. It replaces the tw version. There is one in themes/apps section for the sprint s3. You have to push the file to system/app. Rename it and set perm.

Works a treat. A little bit different to the steps they advised though; putting mms.apk in the system/app folder with the correct permissions wouldn't work - I could put it in there, but the application wouldn't actually load when rebooted.
I then tried installing it as an APK, but no go; Android said there was another system app installed. So I moved secmms up one level, rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and now it's fine.

Hi All,
Try this version. I took this from the S3 AOSP Codec ROM which is version 4.0.4~ish. Works great on my S3 (GT-I9300) with XXELL4 ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
It has:
- Dark theme (4.2 theme I think)
- Emoticons
- emojis

You can change it from the emoticons key to enter key, also this isn't a flashable zip, not sure how to do one, but to install this:
1. Delete mms.apk in /system/apps
2. copy and paste new mms.apk in /system/apps
3. Set permissions
4. Reboot
Works great! Thanks!
Worked really well. Thank you!
Also for those wondering you have you enable quick emoji in the settings.

This is the only feature I was missing from aosp rom. Pop up on sms is a must. Quick question tho.
Your file is 2.7 and from aokp (cm10.1 for nexus 4) the file size is 3.1. Smaller size than aokp but somehow it lags when i open up the messages from a person. why is that?

I am not sure about the lag but the reason the file is older is because it was pulled from somebody else on this forum, they had one with facebook EMOJI and one with stock emoji. This is the stock one and in cm10 you don't have a quick emoji button option which I like but in AOKP the popup is ugly imo. Thats why the app is older.

Sorry to say, no. Here is why sir.
1. S4 is still on android 4.2 based, while Note III is android 4.3 so things will be different.
2. The layout files will be different, which is a big piece.
Dpi wont come into play, becuase they both use xxHdpi images.. so the image part should for most part be fine to drag into Launcher3.apk. Not a guareentee all will be fine.. but should.
My suggestion..
1. If you have Root, have Nova or Apex loaded and make sure works.
2. With one of the above running, you can rename your launcher3.apk
3. I would only drag images from s4 launcher into Note III launcher.
4. Replace luancher apk on Note III change permission, reboot.
5. change back to TW Launcher..
With us just getting Root. You gotta give us a bit to get things going..

You take a huge chance of messing up phone and getting fc's using apk from other carriers N3 stuff. Especially Framework/SystemUI is almost always different by each carrier. They add stuff into those files..

You need to have:
Android SDK
A graphic program like Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop
Apktool Manager
Java 6 and/or 7
That would be a start. Then you need to learn how to decompile Android Apk's

This thread is not the right area to request themign to be done, Use the Theme and Apps area fro that please.
The SecLauncher4.apk is the correct apk to decompile to get to labels for the launcher. I am not sure where those are at, haven't themed the Seclauncher since two versions ago..
I might suggest Nova whch will allow you to do things as well.

Anybody with any ideas how to get this to do the notifications on the lock screen that wakes up the phone when a message comes in. I like the look of this in some areas but find it very odd how much they left out in terms of changes the text bubbles, font, background, etc.... Still appreciated the upload for all of us to use though.
