Different Messaging Screen 4.0.4 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just upgraded my Note to N7000XXLRK_N7000DBTLRK_DBT
The one thing i have noticed is that the messaging screen looks a bit different, now with grey banners down the side and less of a text box to write in. also the keyboard seems a little more rounded. Is this normal for 4.0.4 not roms, or is this just this rom?
Many thanks

It is only when you first write your sms to someone...when you either reply or adding more conversation to your thread, the interface are as usual.

Dnt worry its normal look for messaging i am also shocked to see this but on every 4.0.4 its stocked

[LauncherPro Docks] Blue, Green, Red, come check em out!

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.
Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!
Sent from my Epic 4G
sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!
Thank u so much!

I guess I am a complete noob lol, how would I install the dock image? I have no clue and I didnt see any option to do it in the LauncherPro settings. Maybe I missed it or I need to put the file somewhere specific?
Preferences => appearance settings => dock background (let's you choose from your photo gallery)

Thanks.... I looked through the menus twice and totally missed that one lol.
Uhhh I have launcher pro...where are the links so I can add this to my Epic 4G...and how do I install it once I have them?...great I Idea by the way...and the black dock with white edges for a black and white themed ROM like Baked Snack would be cool...?

I only know how to DL onto a PC and then xfer to the SD Card. Right click on the image(dock that you want to DL) from the OP and select save as... , then copy the image/file to your phone/SD Card. Now while at the homescreen in LP hit the menu key>preference>appearance settings>dock background>custom>and then you should be able to scroll to the image in the gallery that it brings up

(Q) Standard android/AOSP SMS

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

[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

I hate yellow!!! Thanks soooo much!
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

the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.
Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

I know what you mean... I had this mod started ages before we had a way to make backups and restore... I hate the ui sooo much... haha... btw.... in my screenshots u see the matching dock and icons... I can throw you those files if you want it all to match... its with launcher pro...

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Using a file explorer that lets you mount and unmount.. copy the framework-res.apk into system/app and replace and remount. Then reboot
Does this work on v20p?

I haven't tried. But if the stock framework hasn't changed much from froyo to gb then it might.
Backup and give it a whirl

I have that on my S8500, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note but none on my Galaxy S1.
Its believed to be a software issue and there is a thread discussing about that, but some claim they dont have those reddish/brownish lines. I'll search the thread.
EDIT:
I cant seem to find that thread anymore, but it was all about this issue.
Thanks anyways ill take a look around for it its more like black and grey lines the messed up thing is its only on the lock screen so I don't know if my screen is going or what
