MMS with black or white backround - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Found this on a forum for the Mytouch 4g and gave it a try. WORKED PERFECT here is the link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846113)
Props to option94 for his post and info
reboot into recovery. Mount /system.
adb shell
rm /system/app/Mms.apk
rm /system/app/mms.odex
exit
unmount /system from recovery
reboot.
adb install attached mms.apk (or move to sdcard and install with method of choice.)
Or delete it from system/app with android commander then push the new mms to the same directory and reboot.
To change the backround color simply hit menu when in your mms then change it in settings !

Confirming works.
Great find, mate! I got used to that blacks are so sexy on this phone.

Thanks, had it for a few days figured i should share. And by a few days i mean all of yesterday and all of today. That was my first order of business after root

Thanks a lot! I always love the black backgrounds over white. Do you know of a way to turn the gmail background to black?

Why pics? They're the notification icons you get when you get a new text/MMS message on stock gingerbread..

Quick Question
I'm relatively new to rooting, but a quick learner. Got this working on my nexus s and it looks great! Thanks for the instructions! Have a quick question however. When a rom is released for the nexus and I flash it, will this installed messages app (black background) be deleted and replaced with the one included with the rom? Or will I have to change this back to the stock messaging apk before flashing a new rom

Depends

Well Hopefully the devs/chefs who make or cook Roms will be kind enough to build this awesome mod into their rom. However when you flash a new rom most require wipes and will likely overwrite the mms.apk in their install anyhow. So either it will keep your current mms.apk or flash one of the devs/choice.
did that answer your questions?

[MOD][EE03][AA]-AOSP Lockscreen/No Haptic/Landscape Dialer/Call Log Mod/Updated Icons

Thank you Amosher's DIY Guide and for the GB like stat notify icons from your themes.
Thank you pftmedic for the media provider stat notify icon.
No CIQ Friendly files.
CWM 3 Flashables
FYI all, the no haptic link doesnt include AOSP lockscreen. They are two separate flashes.

Mms.apk Email.apk MediaProvider.apk: http://www.mediafire.com/?pru9xh3156xj8bg
For Mms.apk Email.apk we replaced the stat notify icons so it's not the yellow envelopes and it's more GB like. MediaProvider.apk stat notify icon updated.
Screenshots [Launcher Icons are on my Dockbar]:
That was quick. You AA guys should fix up the call log and battery popup mods while you're at it.
I've never seen a write up for the call log mod. Im guessing it's DialerTabActivity but no clue which file has the necessary changes. Also, Zzzzzzz, dayuuum i need to go to bed lol. We'll see what else has been ported over by the time I wake up!

It's not hard. It's LogsProvider.apk, baksmali it and edit the main activity's smali. Search MMS, delete the relevant portion, then delete the relevant portion for SMS (right above or below).

I flashed the AOSP lock screen no feedback and it doesn't actually show up. The flash completes but I still have the TW lock screen. I have tried re-flashing plus wiping cache/dalvik.
**Oh goodness I'm very confused now, I tried flashing the AOSP lock screen with haptic feedback and it actually worked this time...except it doesn't have haptic feed back. Lol, either way I am happy I got the lock screen I wanted originally. Thanks AA.
Landscape dialer is awesome, thanks for fixing it for EE03 ;D
The AOSP download link does not modify your feedback. IT's two separate downloads. One for the lockscreen and one to remove the feedback.

It's all good man.
If you use and appreciate something a dev does or makes, while you're waiting for the download to finish, just leave a nice comment and say thanks, a lot of time and effort goes into development work, and it's not like we get paid to do it.

[MOD] Blue/ Grey MMS [EG22]

This is my first attempt to post something for the community here, so if I forget a thanks, or don't give enough info, please tell me and I will correct it. This is a very simple mod and only took a few minutes to do. I hate the stock MMS colors, so I pulled images from the ACS transparent MMS collection here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991259. I believe Mystery takes the credit for the images I used, and I appreciate the work he does greatly.
You can flash the zip I attached in recovery, (wipe cache 3X, Dalvic 3X) or just unzip the file with androzip or whatever and push it to system/app with supermanager or your file manager of choice. Let me know of any problems. Pic is included as an attachment.
Note: This does not change the list view of all your text threads, just the colors of the chat bubbles inside each thread.
close to my cowboys colors .. thanks i hate the yellow ... this would do me until someone can port a aosp mms!!
Yea, the yellow text messages were the one thing I really couldn't stand after I got my epic. I'll go to the ends of the earth to get rid of it

agreed on the yellow, works great. is it just me or did the text notifying icon at the top switch back to the old froyo smiley one's? or were they always the same? I swear it changed when I flashed to the first GB leak up until now.

Yes that is actually true. There is a black text icon in the notification bar instead of orange or green (from whichever rom/ 2.xx/ whatever had which colors). I thought it was too insignificant to mention, but good catch

Hey all, this is my first attempt at a theme. Thank your Haro and Beamer for help on IRC.

UPDATE 12/15/11
change the notification to stock GB ones (the little grey ones)
Within message thread, changed bg to black along with contact header
UPDATE 12/18/11
Changed the emoticons to a different style
made some more things black in thread (still looking for the gray around the composed box at the bottom)
UPDATE 12/27/11
Changed notifications from GB ones to white ones
Change the thread bubbles
---Need to fix---
make sent/received time a different color as cant see on white bubble
might change emoticons because hard to see on blue bubble

[Theme][CM9-AOSP] MMS Blacked out and Animated [4/24/12]

Recently I noticed the latest CM9 Mms.apk included emoji support. While I don't use it some people I know do..I hate the white and plain look of stock. So I blacked it out and added some color.
Thought I would share..This should work with any CM9/AOSP variant. It works fine for me on LiquidSmooth.
Just flash in recovery.
I want to thank killabyte over at Rootzwiki for his guide because without it I wouldn't have been able to do it.
I also want to thank whoever did that images for the animated sms notification. I know I got it months ago from the Galaxy Nexus section but cant find it now to give credit..If you know etc pm me..
saved for me....

Transparent MotoMms

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.
