[APP-STOCK-AOSP]{100% Inverted} *Black*Mms.apk_GB__ICS_Updated June-19-2012

This was achieved through multiple xml edits. I have taken the 2.3.5/2.3.7/4.0.4 Mms.apk(with added SMS Split) and completely inverted it so it looks like the black version.
I wanted to share this with all users interested in a up-to-date Black stock Mms.apk from 2.3.5/2.3.7./4.0.4
Mainly the reason I wanted this updated to 2.3.5/2.3.7/4.0.4 is for the latest quality and reliable split (with a supported framework).
On some ROMs, namely stock, the SMS split option does not show in options but it does split and is turned on by default.
This APP will work on stock and AOSP ROMS. As long as you have root.
INSTALL:
DEODEXED ROMS:
Download Black_Mms.apk below and install like normal, through package installer or push to /system/app/
STOCK-LIKE ODEXED ROMS:
Flash the one you want:Black_Mms-2.3.5.zip, Black_Mms-2.3.7.zip, Black_Mms-4.0.4 through custom recovery (This zip will push Mms to /system/framework/, allowing preferences to stay intact upon reboot)

OP updated. Changed to SMS split Mms.apk. Getting a little closer. Some help with what I've done so far would help.

OP updated with 95% complete black mms. Just some text needs to be changed. Compose text is white like it's sposed to be.

What do you need help with? Do you have the source? I could look at it

OP updated. Black Mms now complete!

Thanks man, this is awesome.

I keep getting app not installed. Does this require 2.3.5?

Try pushing it to /system/app

Fixed. Its seems I just needed to reboot after deleting the stock mms app

awesome work! is there any way to add the "back button always shows convo list" option to this? That is one of the most frustrating inconsistencies in Android.

I'll give it a shot.

Awesome! One other minor issue: none of the settings will stick. They always reset, so I can never turn the notifications off without them coming back on after a few minutes...

Ok. Its cause your running odexed. Push the app to /system/framework/. It should be in the same directory as framework-res.apk. make the permissions the same.-->chmod 644 /system/framework/Black_Mms.apk.
This will create a classes.dex for it, allowing settings and preferences to stick.
Gimme a few, i will make a zip especially for odexed roms that pushes this to /system/framework instead of /system/app

You are non-rooted so its odexed. It will install but preferences wont stick. Needs to be in /system/framework

[APP][2.3.4/2.3.5] Cyanogen Mms.apk working on Stock Rom

I managed to get the Mms.apk from Cyanogen working on my stock deodexed rom. Settings works perfectly. All I did was compile against the stock sources, and voila, it all works.
I have only tested it on my Rogers i9020a Nexus S, running 2.3.4. Let me know if you have any issues.
I have attached both an apk for package installers, and also a zip for cwm. I highly recommend making a backup of your existing Mms.apk before trying this one, just in case.

Sweet! Thanks for this.
So you decompiled and recompiled? Can u explain more?

i grabbed the latest code for Mms from the cyanogen project on github, and i just replaced the stock Mms source with the one from cyanogen in the android source. i then compiled it, tested it on my phone, and it worked!

Oh ok. Nice job! Works great on Oxygen 2.2.1

Works on bugless and installed fine for me normally, thanx!

The Cyanogen MMS is more configurable. You can toggle between the standard white background and black background, you can change the font size, SMS split options, change the attachment save folder, custom user agent and other things.

After updating to latest bugless release installing isn't working anymore, it keeps going back to stock after a reboot. I used root explorer to delete stock and stuck the apk in system/apps and matched permissions and that worked.
Quoting myself is odd but I wanted others to see both of my posts together.

i'm pretty sure you have to be rooted to use this, as i don't think you can get at the Mms.apk when your phone isn't rooted. i could be wrong on that. anyone else know for sure?

it looks essentially the same as the stock MMS.apk, but when you go to Settings, you have the option of changing the background to black, and changing the font size, etc.

[THEME] Droid RAZR keyboard (no support)

IMPORTANT: I stopped this project (lost interest, no time, etc.), so therefore I will NOT be supporting anyone and will NOT be answering questions. Thank you.​
This is a themed version of the Droid 3/XT860 keyboard.
I can't guarantee any results, anything you do to YOUR phone is YOUR responsibility. Though replacing one app will not brick your phone, you never know​XT862 [Droid 3] Blur Odexed System​
Download and unzip XT862_Blur_odexed.zip
If you still have the stock Blur latinIME.apk then just replace that with the new one.
Set correct permissions (rw-r--r--). You're done so reboot.
But, if you did replace the stock keyboard, put the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex in /system/app/
Then put libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib/
Set correct permissions for all files
Reboot
XT862 [Droid 3] Blur Deodexed System​
Download and unzip XT862_Blur_deodexed.zip
If you still have the stock Blur latinIME.apk then just replace that with the new one.
Set correct permissions (rw-r--r--). You're done so reboot.
But, if you did replace the stock keyboard, put the latinIME.apk in /system/app/ and put libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib/
Set correct permissions for all files
Reboot
XT860 [Bell] Blur odexed System​This has not been tested​
Download and unzip XT860_Blur_odexed.zip
If you still have the stock Blur latinIME.apk then just replace that with the new one.
Set correct permissions (rw-r--r--). You're done so reboot.
But, if you did replace the stock keyboard, put the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex in /system/app/
Then put libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib/ (<--- I Don't have this lib in the zip, can someone upload it for me?)
Set correct permissions for all files
Reboot
If anyone has a rom based on the Droid 3 [XT862] (MavROM, DarkDroid, Liberty etc.) then follow the XT862 Blur Deodexed directions and replace all three files.
Other variants (XT883, etc.) follow the XT862 directions
If this doesn't work for you, let me know.​
Note: These zip files are NOT flashable
And as always, backup your files​
It has become apparent that this is not working for many people, and I don't know why because it is working perfectly for me. Anyways, I advise you not to try this unless you have a backup of your original files and if you can get your orig. keyboard back.​

This spot is taken......

Can't get this to work. Does owner and group need to be root? I changed that also but still nothing. And i can't get my old keyboard back either, so i'm stuck with using the slide out. I'm really a noob at this, but shouldn't the LatinIME show up as a installed app? If it is, how do i add it back?

[WANTED] Flashable Stock 4.0.4 Launcher Zip

Could anyone kindly make stock 4.0.4 (preferably, if not 4.0.3 is fine) launcher ZIP file for Nexus S 3G that would replace third party launcher on custom ROM?
Thank you!!!

Could anyone help me out? I'm stuck in FC problem because of a custom ROM and I already re-flashed multiple times in the past few days so I would really hate to do that again...

Extract the launcher from a 4.0.4 Rom. Replace the one in your system with root explorer. Remember to set permissions correctly.

Well as of now, I can't proceed beyond lock screen... so I can't copy any files using Root Explorer. It force closes several different apps constantly like Launcher, Wallet, Book, etc... I have to pull the battery.
So I was looking for a flashable zip that would replace (get rid of) the custom launcher.
That's what I did though.
I was using nuhetri-reloadedv 3.0.1 ROM. It asked me to choose between APEX and Trebuchet launcher... it worked fine for couple reboots.
Then it just force closes everytime. So I reflashed it and did what you asked, but it still force closes........ So I'm back in backed up stock ROM for now...

I have an earlier version of Nova if you want. It's a flashable zip.

Inverted ICS APPS

Totally Inverted APPS (I take no credit for this)
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-apps-4-22-contacts-and-mms-updated/
Here's a link to inverted apps for ICS. I haven't seen this here.
I CWM flashed the Contacts and MMS right in.
I'm running CM9 Beta 2. After install, I had to do a reboot because for some reason the home screen and app drawer wouldn't populate. After that seems to be runnning fine... and very smooth.

*facepalm*

super sweet, thank you sir. these combined with the reloaded statusbar mod = freaking awesome experience

excellent, these were updated to remove the phone apk errors I was getting on the newer CM9 beta 3 and AOKP builds.
edit: can someone move this to the apps section?

Have you tried to use the "phone" app since flashing that modded contacts app? Since they didn't include it with their zip file, you may find that it says it's not installed anymore, even though the APK is there.

Anyone know of an inverted gtalk that works with cm9 b3 or aokp. All the ones I've tried have borked my phone and can't even re install the stock one without start all over with clean install.

Make a backup of your current mms apk first then uninstall and then boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, and flash the inverted mms apk and reboot.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

No, the inverted apps work ok with the exception of the contacts app, when you flash it, your phone will tell you there is no phone.apk when you try to use it. You can still make calls and get to the dialer through the people app, but it won't come up on it's own anymore.

That's what I thought. I've learned to live with all the bright white. Thanks.
