(Q) Standard android/AOSP SMS - Captivate Themes and Apps

So i think one of my only gripes about the captivate right now is its inclusion of the twiz junk. I feel like the SMS app looks like it crawled out of a cartoon.
Ive searched around and am running axuras froyo right now, but does anyone know a way to get AOSP sms on the cap? Id rather not use handcent.
I dont care if its a theme or a rom. Whatever it takes.

replicate screen snapshot lock screen
love the theme just flashed it. However i have a question and im sorry if this is a really bad rookie question, but anyway. On your lock screen i see your clock and how you have the date in words rather than numbers. How do you enable that setting, i would love to have my lock screen identical to that in your screen shot. please let me know. And great work on the theme thanks

OK, this is awesome. A few thoughts though. The grey strips look very low res, especially the text. And in the lower screen, "Galaxy S - Master System Display" It says Glaxay S instead.
yeah probably had a retard moment thanks for the heads up will fix that
For the serious geek in you. Awesome.

Ok guys im open to suggestions on themes right now im in the process of designing some non-trek themes all as functional so let me know ideas if you like my work please rate and leave comments thanks
Well I've not seen a good desert theme, and being in the Valley you would have plenty of inspiration (I have a house in Gilbert). Theres plenty and the brown/beige/tan theme would not look too bad either. Could send you some pics for ideas?

I have been trying out SH2 and OP's theme. Everything was looking good, then I got a force close for SH2. And now I can't get out of SH2. I tried reboot, battery pull and still stuck with FC popup.
Anyone got any idea's what I can do?
haven't gotten stuck like that where i couldnt get out of it usually if you have another home replacement u could choose the option or hold down the home key and try to access a application from there
Try to get into settings. It may be a pain but if you keep trying you may be able to get there.
Goto applications, manage applications, hir the menu button. Filters, show all. Find sweeter home and clear default.
If you can't get into settings at all depending on your level of expertise you may be best off flashing the phone. Unless someone here has a way to fix it remotely like with adb or something

Thanks for the help and info.
I had to flash it. I couldn't get anywhere. Pop ups just wouldn't let me. I even had to pull battery just to turn it off.
But everything is well now and I have something to do getting it set back up.
Again thanks.
I can't seem to find sweeter home right now but I am curious of how to theme it and what it can do.

I'm on the XDA app at the moment and can't find the link to sweeter home, should I be doing this on my comp when I get home?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Google sweeter home. Definitely easier from comp. By if you have external apps enabled, should be a breeze once you get to it.

Yep, i second this. I didbt want to move away from stock messaging either, but now with handcent, i wouldn't go back
Handcent 3rded. I liked it even better than chomp.
boo. disagree.
I got a Captivate to get AWAY from the iphone. Handcent is an ugly attempt to port the iphones messaging UI to android. Yuck.
I would definitely like to see a way to change the SMS bubble color though for the stock message UI.
I don't know about you, but i can tweak handcent to look just like the stock messaging but with different colored bubbles. You just have to play with it a little. Tweak out on it. It is possible.

yea. my handcent doesn't look like an iphone at all.. :T it's very.. me-esque with random colors haha

Seems fine to me..the lag I notice is bearable but for the most part its pretty up to speed

Have you thought about using AOSP mms.apk? no bubbles, just lines of different colors and much much faster to load than touchwiz mms.
I hated Handcent xP, but there is a way to change the bubble colors and the messaging font size and color and alignment of the bubbles

[Q] Samsung Fascinate puzzle lock screen for Captivate COG 2.3b3

I just wanna know if possible use the samsung fascinate puzzle lock screen on samsung captivate with COG 2.3b3
Hmm... I am not a user of Captivate (but will be in 1 week) - about what you are talking about?
This any different than the capital lock screen??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
here the original fascinate screen lock...i just wanna one like this for COG 2.3b3 compatible
That's just the normal TouchWiz lockscreen...
Sent from my Captivate
It is a bit different
the stock on is swipe to unlock, the fascinate has a puzzle piece always. to unlock, drag the unlock puzzle piece to the spot, prob also has a txt one, and a missed call one. so, no swipe- always a puzzle piece
I would love this!!!!
I know sonique in the vibrant forums has a theme which includes this and it works on cognition 2.4 and 2.4.1.
That said, I'd live to see a captivate version of this. I think it's much less annoying than glass.

I realize it's been a month since you posted your question...hopefully you have found several themes for fusion by now...If your still looking, what color are you looking for. Or no color?
WOW
I didn't know we had one of these.
thanks for responding ruger94
i will check in here often.
Fusion 1.9 just about ready.

Bootloaders
Im currently running 2.3 mosaic and wanted to know if fusion had bootloaders in it?i want to go baxk and forth between the 2 roms but really would not have to go back to stoxk but also dont want to brick my cappy.
Seeing as there's been no release for usa captivate i897 gb on samfirmware.com I'm not real sure on the rules of jumping back to froyo. But as far as bootloaders are concerned; no the fusion cwm zips don't contain any.
Hope that helps.
If not talk to xtreme as the same rules would apply if you were jumping back to FF3.0 and he knows more about the GB bootloaders.
Keep in mind tho that the bootloaders for Mosaic is built from i9000 sources.

But I'ed like to see a dark brown / mud / chocolate colored theme for fusion.
Seen lots of blues, reds and greens tho...
edit: finally read thru all the posts for this ROM, I'll give "Burnt Fusion" a run... still would like to see something darker.
If not brownish, a rusty or dirty look will do as well. Something like you guys "came across an old abandoned reactor/atom smasher, and are brining it back to life" kinda look.

Is the launcher locked at 7 or is my brain not working...?

Something that just came up... I got a font I really like, but its kinda big... I use the Spare Parts app to shrink the font, but it's not keeping the setting past itself.. how can I get it to keep?

Hey, I'm trying some dabbling in themes and Modding. I've been using Apk Manager 4.9 to unzip and modify pngs and even used a hex editor to change the colors on the status bar notifications in status_bar.xml.
I tried to decompile the systemUI.apk and found the clock.smali file and changed the textcolor setting in there. But when I go to recompile it in Apk manager, I get errors. I was wondering if one of you cooks could tell me how to change the clock color, or what I might be doing wrong? I'm on Windows 7 and have most of a kitchen with the drivers, Java. notepad++ and stuff.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out, I was deleting the wrong file when I needed to add from the original when I recompiled the apk, now I just have to figured out the color codes.

Instead of porting Boring AOSP, sunder74 asked if i would port his Fascinate Detox theme found here:[THEME][Port][6/1/11][UPDATE]Fascinating_DETOX FOR COMROM 1.3 - xda-developers (which is very much like Boring AOSP, except it turns out he is better than me) because he was busy or something. I have ported everything from the original theme (i even stole his screen shots, cause im lazy) and i added this puke snot AOSP looking swype keyboard I made.

In the rom there is an issue with the LatinIME.apk its named LatinIME.apk.apk anyway besides that the MediaProvider.apk isnt themed and I noticed you included an accurate battery and the battery doesnt reflect this correctly and the progresshorizontal is orange. I have attached a metamorph to address the battery and the progresshorizontal.xml until one of us gets around to updating the theme. Thanks again for porting for me. You did me a big favor.

Contacts.apk
Hey Gunnermike,
Great work on this theme! I really enjoyed it, but ultimately had to stop using it, because (imo) the ASOP contacts apk makes our phones so much harder to use. Without the groups tab in the Samsung contacts apk, I can spend at least a minute scrolling through all of my phone #s in the ASOP contacts (frustrating). Would it be possible for you to theme and incorporate Samsung's contacts.apk? Thanks in advance!
thanks for the port.
I was gonna still use it, but the white notification bar is just catching my eye too often.
i need to go back to a black notification bar
but i just wanted to say thanks, and also, it looks like something is wrong with the 3g icon in the drop down. only when its off tho.
