Color Changing
This does not change the ugly Yellow color on the top and bottom of the Stock messaging theme...Any way to do this. As when you open messaging and there is a list of people you have messaged and the top and bottom of screen is yellow. Cannot find how to change this in G3 TweaksBox.. Thanks for any help.

You would need to pull the stock messaging.APK to your pc via ADB and then modify the RES/XML values yourself, then repack as an APK....

Please do! And let us know as soon as you're done! I'm using stock messaging app because of QuickCircle...
[EDIT] I don't prefer any colors, just NOT that ugly yellow....Will it change for QuickCircle when you theme the APK? Hm..

I am still trying.
I thought i had it down, but when i pushed the apk back to my phone as a system app, it just FCs.
Im still working on it and will create a thread when its done - hopefully i will get all LG apps with neutral Grey (hangouts color) opposed to puke yellow, etc.
Ill keep you posted

Yellow
Thanks a lot for trying. I hope you get it B4rnzEE! I will be the first to change the yellow!

I'm really looking forward to this! Can't wait!

[Q][REQ] lockscreen pattern...

so then does it not exist? the reason why i thought about it was back in the windows mobile days, when there was a lockscreen app the same way and ppl started themeing it by puting the superman logo on the dots and stuff like that...

Sorry I found the answer, didn't know about changing the view in the app drawer to customizable grid. I pushed the mms.apk through root explorer, rebooted and it worked but it removed the messaging dock icon and I'm only left with 3 dock icons. Any idea how to get it back? TIA

Themed stock mms

Hi folks heres a stock mms apk with some blue in it. Dont change the bubble in settings if you wanna keep this look. Hope you guys enjoy.
To install just copy to system/app with root explorer then reboot.
If any one would like a different color or something else added just ask!
This is great. Can you switch the colors around on the icon? Make blue the main color and gray the colors of the eyes and mouth?
Yep ill get it up sometime tonight.

This looks awesome but could I request somewhat different colors for the reply messages, if it isn't too much to ask for. The blue looks nice but Both the reply and sent colors look very similar from the picture. I'm a visual person and it's easy to differentiate with different colors or shades.
But this is awesome I haven't switched to a different sms/mms app because I like the stock ones features like direct dial. I am also looking forward to an email like this. And having them match in the dock would be awesome.
Thanks for this!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
For some reason the picture was not coming clearly. I can see they are in deed different shades so you can disregard that above.
But I would love to see other colors. How about a white and blue theme maybe.

Hey Mongo, sorry to bug you again. But do you think you could make the blue a little more ICS blueish? More like the one in this screenshot. The color doesn't quite match the phone icon, or the Google voice icon. Thanks dude!

Give me five different colors you guys want and ill change all the bubbles in the app so you can pick and choose which ones you like. Im thinking about doing a chromed outlined one also like I did back in the sgs2 forum a while back.

Can you Tell me how to do this????

Hi there everyone I have been learning about theme but having some trouble getting study time with all my kids yelling and screaming all day. So far i know about .9 and samlli apk manager decompile and recompile . as well as xml files.
My issue wright now is that I don't know exactly what files to edit to get the changes I want. If there's any tut on what file changes change what, that would be aswom, like for example I want to change the over-scroll color but I have changed the images I thought would change that and nothing.. But if not can anybody tell me what I have to edit to, change the color on the status bar, and the color of the letters on the status bar like the clock. and system letters.
Thank you before hand. for taking the time to answer I know life is busy.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Yeah I remember. I already have the app modded as I use it myself.
But anything in the status bar is found in the SystemUI.apk
It is going to be an XML as well.

A no brainer way is to use the app "rom toolkit".. if u go to the playstore its actually on sale right now and its well worth the regular price let alone the sale price, i paid the full amount and couldn't be more stoked.. Its about 10 apps in one and a must have for any noob root user like myself (any user for that matter).. one of the many features is theme changer where u can change the theme, font, status bar, boot loader ect.....

Its going I just tried to recompile framework. Apk with apk manager but I get an error. And it compiles with nothing on it like 0 bits.so I'll figure it out... The only reason to use a pk manager is to b able to edit XML in a readable language right? Cause last time I didn't use apk manager and it was OK but I couldn't edit any XML cause hex just not that good with it.

Ughh, I was just playing with it more and discovered that might be the answer.
yeah its annoying. I want that gone, and I dont need beats to tell me it's on whenever a noise plays. I know its on because I turned it on.

That's just the notification for E911 location. Not sure why we need a constant reminder.

Get Nova Launcher, turn off the status bar, and download a widget to show you the status things you care about.
