First time you have to wait a little, but every pic you have seen once, will be there instantly next time you start the app

Samsung stock sms app for optimus black

Hi,
This is my very first post on xda. Woohoo!
Anyways, I've never liked the stock messaging app on the optimus black, but I really love samsung's stock messaging interface with the blue and yellow text bubbles and the dark bg. Is it possible for me to install their stock messaging app? Or can I theme my stock messaging app to look like samsung's?

I'm very new to this, so can you explain it to me step by step if you don't mind?

Hey guys! Can anyone here can modify and fix the droidsms apk that can be found in the market? It has sent display bug and i can't change my display picture although the sender display pictures is okay. Droidsms sms apk looks great for having light blue and white bubble. It's way better than handcent sms apk.

Maybe someone can make it, if somebody provide mms.apk from samsung device (hdpi)
and also screenshot of it will be help

Yes. I don't know, how much you know, so if you need a more detailed explanation, just tell me.
But you know, that you need a rooted device, okay?
I explain, how to do this without xml editing, because it's easier and if you're lucky, it works fine without.
First copy the sms application from your phone to your computer.
Then replace the '.apk' with '.zip'.
Okay, now you should be able to open the app with winrar or 7zip.
Navigate to the drawable hdpi folder. There you can find all images. (Some are located at no dpi and land dpi too.) Now do the same with a samsung sms app. (You can get it by extracting it from a samsung stock rom.) Simply replace the images with the images of the samsung app.
Maybe you have to change the names, because the new images must have the names of the old images.
And it's important, that you choose as compression methode 'none'. (The default option is 'normal'.)
The last step is, to rename it again to '.apk' and replace the old sms app on your phone. But do a backup of the app before.

Hi everyone, before trying to install any stock camera apps..
Backup your all current photos and videos that were on DCIM, otherwise you will lose all data in DCIM
You can recover those with some software, but you can't get open them
Suggesting you, as I have faced this problem..

Eh, but you know, that we're talking about mms app, not camera?

You could also just try to extract the mms API from Aurora and push it into whatever rom you're using provided its the same base
just sayin....

dont need aurora rom. it have released on themes section line samsung s2 theme by same developer.

CM/AOKP Mms.apk?

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.

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 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

Have already tried that, doesn't work for some reason..
What about the .xml files in the same folder? Might these need a change?

(Q) How to get other Colours?

Hey guys,
Short question.
Is there a way to change the Theme colours?
For example.
I use right now the Theme Sunny and the orange is no really a dark orange, like it was in FW 4.1, it's more a bright orange.
Also the other Colours are like this bright.
How can I change it?

You can pull the themes via ADB, decompile it, edit the needed files, compile it again. And push it back to the System
However for the last part you need a rooted phone
