Can someone post the stock messaging app apk for the captivate? I don't really feel like restoring.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I would, however the only things I can find in /system/app that are messaging related are mms.apk and mms.odex, neither of which are what I think you're looking for.

I am looking for a mod of the mms apk to alter the look of messaging. Specifically, something that clones the bubble message look.
Not looking to theme everything, as I using a ROM I'd rather not get rid of.
Can someone lead me in the right direction?
Please and thank you!
There are plenty of sms replacement apps in the market.

Yeah, use either Handcent or Go SMS in the market. They're both great SMS replacements!
chomp is also good.
but i don't think OP means an alternate app, i think he wants the tw4 mms apk, or something more native than gosms, handecent, and chomp.
download nitrality and you should find what you are looking for!
What ROM are you running? There is a fishable zip file in the OP of the evil fascinate ROM that flashes a messaging program that has the bubbles like stock. It replaces the message app that comes with the ROM so it'll be just like stock. If you are on a TW ROM it will probably work. If I can get to a computer I'll get you the link, if not just go to the development forum and goto nitro's evil fascinate thread and it's near the bottom with all the extras. If your not on touchwiz you'll have to use a market app., good luck! Make a nandroid before messing around just in case

Hey all,
Pretty into,my new D3 so far, but I'm not thrilled with Moto's stock SMS app. I'd like to use the go or enter keys to send, and possibly a nicer looking chat thread. Maybe with pictures for the contacts. What are you guys using?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Handcent sms

I like the stock one.. just think the send button and the new paragraph buttons should be switched.

I've been using Handcent since I first got my OG Droid and still am on the D3. It is much better than the stock app.
I've been using the CM7 MMS app

Get Handcent and the Darkness theme for it. It's money!
I use GO SMS PRO and it works well. Made my own dark theme using the theme editor. It's free and has no ads like Handcent. Plus I feel like the settings are more organized and look more stock. Handcent is a little too colorful and iPhone-y for me.
Another GoSMS user here. Loving the experience so far.

Thanks, guys. Will be trying GoSMS tonight. I tried handcent in the past, but I just didn't like the look and theming was a hassle. Keep it coming if you have any more suggestions.
Don't forget to download the Theme Maker. You can use any template and redesign the conversation windows to your likings. It's too bad it doesn't let you change everything, but find a good template to start on and you should be satisfied with the results.
I'm sorry, but Handcent looks like crap. All the themes are low res and poorly done.
I'm using CM7 2.3.5 AOSP mms
Yep

same for me, but i notice with the droid3, when i select a background image for the msg conversations my choices are
1: I chose gallery and it gives me a POS blurry image.
or 2: astro filemanager lets me crop the image but it dosnt show and it changes my home screen bg
is there any fix for this??? or has anyone found a better app?
When I type in txt the "n's" gets left out, sometimes. A "space" is in place of the N. Annoying.
Another vote for GO SMS. Also check out the Transparent Space Theme for Go Sms (And also for Go Launcher EX)

The N is right above the Space. You're probably hitting the wrong button...
I am also having this problem. only thing keeping me from using gosms

I'm looking for some messaging apks that are customized and compatible with my captivate. I have the original Samsung and the stock from Gingerbread but neither allow customized colors etc. And I really despise the yellow and blue bubbles. If I'm missing something obvious let me know too. I DO NOT want to use a third party application like gosms etc.
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If its just bubbles then simply having them themed might be a better idea?
Yeah that's not a bad idea but what I do like about OEM is all the options that are stripped from the Samsung version of the apk.

Hi all,
I've come from a SGS2 that was running an AOKP ROM which allowed you to enable the emoji keyboard in the messaging app settings. This is my first experience with sense and wanted to know if there were any sense based ROMs or even a mod that anyone was aware of for stock sense that would allow me to do the same?
My One is rooted and ideally I'd like to stick with the standard messaging app as I actually quite like it so I'm not looking to install a 3rd party app like GO SMS to get the emoji. I'm also really enjoying the experience by staying stock, everything just works and the battery life is ridiculously good! That being said, I'd be willing to make a backup and try a custom ROM.
My girlfriend likes to tell stories with emoji, I feel like I'm missing out without this!
Your comments are appreciated!
Cheers!

Thanks but as per the OP this is not the solution I'm looking for.
Hey all,
Anyone get a CM/AOKP Mms.apk working on their Droid Ultra/Maxx? I've tried using one posted in the MotoX forum, but it FCs when trying to type a contact name. Any ideas?
Hey I was wondering the same thing but I can see a difference. What is diff between the two screenshots would be a great help.

Search 88sms on the Play Store, it's essentially the same thing.

Use the app icon changer and you can set the stock icon image to 8 SMS

Obviously..im retarded... because I can't get this damn thing to do what its supposed to do LOL.
I open the app.. i click the center and select 8sms and click 'Change'..then i select 'Default Icons' and select 'Messaging'.
the app then brings me back to the app selection screen.. and I do it all over again. I seem to be stuck in an endless loop. What am i doing wrong? LOL
I'll post instructions tomorrow when I wake up sir.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. But even with 8ms and changing the icon, we lose the unread count on the icon.
I've tried searching for some type of xposed framework mod to just darken the stock messaging app but alas.. Nothing.
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.
I was able to pull the mms.apk from an eclipse rom rom the Razr HD. its inverted..and has a lot of extra features. However..the app crashes if you remove or rename the stock messaging app. so what I did was leave the stock messaging app and turn off all notifications and simply hide it with Nova. Now i have the darkened inverted goodness i want with full functionality.
edit: nevermind. it works..but its receiving messages twice for some reason. Fail.
Can someone please post the stock email apk thanks!

I can... is it at all possible to invert the system apps and just do a simple drop and replace? like people, dialer, mms, calender, email
I wonder if this couldn't be implemented into GravityBox or some type of xposed framework?

I thought the same thing...but I haven't suggested it..espec because there are so many roms that GB supports
The problem is the stock system is odex like most stock systems are and themed apps do not usually play nice with odex system. Most of the times a dev will put out a deoxed rom or there is a way to deoxed the entire system, What is always interesting about Moto is they have specific odex version of apps like Motoemail, MotoMms and others that make simply dropping in themed apps problematic. I hope this answers your question. I am working on a theme for the Mini right now that takes out the green and replaces with blue LOL I hate that green!

Well we kind of sort of have a working Safestrap for the MotoX..which in turn works for the Ultra/Maxx/Mini.. would it be possible to deodex the stock system and black it out? I love the functionality of Stock with the features of GravityBox... Sooo battery life and stability of stock is what I want pretty much
