Stock msg app - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this sounds stupid, but I really liked jb samsung stock messaging app, I miss it since on cm10.2
In cm there is only white theme. I installed 8sms, but it's slow and fonts can't be bigger.
Is there any chance for samsung stock msg to work in cm10.2?

It most probably need Touchwiz framework, that CM does not have. Use some theme - to make it black. Like this one for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.template.theme.ThyrusHoloBlack&hl=sr

I have installed it
Will check it in next days... but still the small font remains...

I tried it and don't like it, too dark

[Theme] Galaxy S for Fusion!ROM2.2 [OLD]

This theme is for rbrucemtl's 'Fusion!ROM2.2', but currently only 5.1 and lower (although not tested on all of them). So will not work on the latest version. I do not plan on updating it, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions of this ROM. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
For you 'FroydVillain' users Alex over at www.villainrom.co.uk has ported this over - http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=2627
All, bar a few of the images have been ported from the Galaxy S ROM. There are a couple of my own minor additions in there also. They have all been resized and 9.png'd so took some time to get them right.
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing and I am not planning on updating it further as what I have is enough for me, but If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest
So... attached will give you a rough idea of what is themed. I have also themed the Desk Clock, and included modified notification icons for the Market and Messaging apps. I haven't included the icons you'll see for the apps, as haven't had a chance to update them all so thought better to leave them all out rather than have them half complete. However, I can suggest the 'Gala S' theme for 'ADW Launcher'. That will theme all the apps to the Galaxy S icons.
To achieve the look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'Hero-GalaxyS-0.1.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or the CM Settings:
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then as you will see in the screen shots I am using the 'TouchWiz' Launcher. I have not included this but you can obtain it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735632. All credit to the guys who made that possible. It runs very smooth and is actually pretty damn good.
Please note: Samsung Widgets are not included.
Enjoy! ...and don't blame me if it breaks your phone. You should know how to nandroid by now.

Notes for Hero-GalaxyS
Not working for CM6 Nightly. loop boot.
Hmmm, I guess the framework is not transparent across all 2.2 ROMs. I have updated the thread to specify that this now only be for 'Fusion!ROM2.2' as that is what I am using it on and have not tested it on any other.
looks a greatheme, but boot loops on froyodvillain, hopefully some one can port this to it as i really want this theme.
Awweessoommee I will try on CM Nightly just incase it was the guy ^^above^^ that just had problems with it if not is it alright if i try porting it ?? oh and wow didt know it was possible to make the icons background on hero
EDIT: oh and which launcher do i need to use from the link?? the i9000 or the i5800 ??
EDIT2oohh i just remebered i made some status bar mods for galaxy s but could never try them out because i dont have the phone :L
EDIT3:Confirmed boot loop on nightly build :/

I think it's due to the framework, although both are 2.2 ROMs some of the devs modify certain files in there or they differ from they way it's built. So the theme would have to be made for each ROM. Sucks really.
On another note, it doesn't really work that well on FryodVillain as for some reason they have removed the options to change the text colour of the Clock, Date etc... so you just end up with a black clock in the task bar and some black text in the pull down menu. I'm not sure why they did that. I guess to make it as less like CM as possible :S

Both the i9000 and i5800 work fine on the Hero. Although the i5800 has a better fit on the icons and text in the app drawer. Both have the same features, so it's what you prefer really.
It will prob boot loop on any CM at the mo. I think once a final version comes out it'll be much easier to get a theme ready for any ROM, but in their current states, with constant updates it's difficult to keep up
Still the files are there ready to play with for anyone who may want to.
Sweet Thanks
Any chance of the lock screen ?

Not yet. None of them have been ported and I don't think they'd work until the whole ROM was ported over. I think some people might be looking at it but don't think it's gonna happen

i don't think it matters which nightly you theme because cynageon i dont think changes any of the framework so you wont need to keep updating the theme evry night when theres a new one :L
*Sorry i have had 3 posts of just me*
lol, that's cool.
With regards to the Lockscreen, I am not sure that can work either as it integrates with other Samsung apps, Phone, Messaging etc. However, as of yet I can't even find where it is in the ROM dump . If you get anywhere with it or the widgets let me know
Hope you dont mind, but ive asked on villain rom if anyone can convert it fo froyodvillian.

No not at all
I did originally do a version for FroydVillain, but they have not included the CM options to change the colours of the Clock, Date etc... so with the dark notification bar it looks a bit odd, not so much for the date but the clock looks like a blank space. Maybe someone there can edit the relevant xml file to change it or find a way to add in the CM Settings into the ROM.

[Q] TW dpi change JB

Here is the thing: i' ve been trying to change the TW UI in my note so it can arrange more icons and making it more suitable to the eye (those ugly huge icons). The problem is with xposed framework I changed all the apps I want but with the UI it's only compressed. Is there a way to get a phablet or tablet UI for TW? BTW I'm running Tonofu rom, is stock holand with some minor tweaks. Thanks in advance!
I think there is an xposed module for that. Check it out.
Seen it not try it

its working for me.. I don't know y it isn't working for you..
What I really want is to have smaller icons and more than 5 in dock. But I don't want to let TW loose.
5X4 stock launcher module and Tablet UI module does not work for me too, with 5X4 phone boots fine but does not add extra row but with Tablet UI it gets stuck on glowing samsung logo...even clearing cache and dalvik does not help...

[Q] My Icons & Text on my Phone became blurry, Pls Help

I'm using samsung galaxy note n7000 and i have been using custom roms on it. I just change each time from Paranoid Android to JellyBam each time there's and update. I decided to try out RootBox Rom (nightlies). I don't usually install nightlies but i did this and i noticed my icons where blurry. Normaly i use 260 or 280 dpi and its very clear, sharp and crisp. i thought this problem was from the nighlies version of the ROM so i switched back to PA. the problem was still there. I installed JellyBam 8.2.0 and this problem still remained.
Please Help, I don't know what to do
the phone looks a little ok when its at 320dpi but still blurry. not sharp as it used to be then its worse if i switch to 280dpi or lower.
the photo below is on 280dpi

to me they look ok, it might be the background due to which they seem bit blurry. you can try using icon themer from play store or icon pack and use them with any launcher. I am using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.mnml&feature=search_result
you're on latest nightlies??.. I'ts a known bug on cm base rom and I think it has been fixed, flash the latest rootbox nightlies or chnge to other rom...

i'd post a different pic. this ones looks ok from the net, u need to see it from my phone.
its not just the icons on the launcher. also when i launch an app, u'd notice the blur.. I've used this phone for long and it has not been this way.
im running a stable build not nightlies.

Google Keyboard Material Dark Bug

Has anyone seen the Google Keyboard using the Material Dark theme, white out the borders like so?
Only when using a CM theme. Do you have one applied?
I have had this happen multiple times running stock 5.1 rooted (LMY47D). Its been happening once a day or so for the past week.
This is on the stock VZW 5.1 ROM. I'm rooted and the the only thing I've touched is the build.prop to tether.
I've had this issue, it comes and goes. I've experienced it on stock rom, rooted rom & a custom rom. It's definitely a Google keyboard bug.

Have you tried going into Settings>apps>all>Google keyboard and uninstalling updates? This might isolate if it is truly a bug.
I know that I haven't. I like Google keyboard b/c of it's simplicity.

This won't uninstall the keyboard, just the latest update. I use the material light theme and haven't encountered this at all.
I am aware that it won't uninstall the keyboard, I like dark theme though.

Dialer keypad color issue with MM OTA?

Installed OTA yesterday. Anyone else not able to change dialer keypad from the mental hospital white? I would prefer a dark dialer keypad, which was available in Sense 6. The only option under personalize is default (white). Initially the same was true with the keyboard, but after changing themes in the new theme settings, I got other options for the keyboard that were part of those themes. Still only default for dialer keypad, and no theme change would change it either, so regardless of theme chosen I still only get white.
I looked around the forums and saw that some had the same problem with sense 7 ROMs running on M8 and M9. There was a workaround by uninstalling the dialer app, and then updating it or simply reverting back to sense 6 dialer, but I've no option to do that under the app (just force stop, no uninstall).
Kind of at a dead end in figuring it out. Don't care for the bloat of 3rd party dialer/phone/messaging apps, but might have to try one. I'm not into rooting or mods on my main communication device, and so this phone has never been anything but stock (except for apps available in the store, naturally). I did have Apex launcher as my app launcher at the time of OTA, but that should not have thrown a wrench into the update (at least I don't think it should have). My next step is to factory reset to see if that resolves it...which I'm not eager to do.
Any thoughts?
Use the themes app and download a new keyboard theme.
Not all themes come with keyboard recolouring...

Thanks for the reply. I tried that. None of the themes had any affect on the dialer keypad -- still just white --, even the ones that showed in the preview to do so. The keyboard was changeable with via applying themes.
Hmmmm, if it is a Sense 7 based Sense 6 ROM , it won't work, AFAIK the only official Sense 7 ROM is Stock Rooted, soon will also have Bad Boyz 4.0.
Try the stock rooted, then report back please!
I'm not running a ROM, I'm newly OTA updated with Marshmallow, so I'm stoock Sense 7. I guess I'm wondering if what I described (only white phone dialer keypad) is normal behavior for Sense 7. Like I said, I can't change the color of the phone dialer keypad from white, either in settings or themes. If this is correct behavior for stock sense 7, that's OK, and I'll explore other options by way of a phone app.
Again, thanks.
It doesn't seem like normal behavior, I'm on Stock rooted MM...that is literally just changing the theme for me.

Got it to work. Don't know what the problem is. Some themes that show a change to the dialer in the preview do change it when applied, some do not. Now to find a way to edit the theme and retain the change to the dialer.
Thanks for the help.
Same problem same solution. I've only got one theme that was actually able to change the dialer colour to black "darkside" but I hate everything else about it. Could you suggest any other
