Hi guys!
So I got sick of the Handcent SMS icon (that blue thing) since it kinda sticks out from the sleekness of my TouchWiz dock's apps..So I decided to mod the res files and replace the icons with the icon of Samsung's original messaging app. I also changed out one of the notification icons provided by handcent with the notification icon of the default messaging app as well...
I did all of this using APK manager following the instructions of the WidgetLocker mod guide. I zipped and signed the apk with no problems but for some reason it just won't install from the phone or using APK manager.
I did everything exactly the way I did when I modded WidgetLocker..so I have no idea why Handcent is being stubborn at install now...
Any ideas? Anyone ever attempt this?
The text on the default messaging app is pretty big, so wondering is there any way of reducing the font size without rooting? thanks in advance
I have been looking for that option as well, but with no luck. I guess the only way to get smaller fonts is to push the Android Messaging apk to the phone to replace the LG Messaging app.
Install GO sms pro instead and you will be able to customize anything and everything
Hey guys,
Up until today I was using the stock messenging app. I use LPP and custom icons in the dock, and used ADW notfier to show me unread counts on the icons in the dock.
It worked flawlessly with the stock messenging app, but it's not working with GoSMSPro for some reason.
To be make it clearer... I added the messenging app to the LPP dock, then picked my own icon (text based, from the Generation X icon .psd template), and set the stock messenging app as the app to be used in ADW notifier. This worked.
Now I have set GoSMSpro as the shortcut on my dock, same custom Icon, and went into ADW notifier and set GoSMSPro as the app.
That doesn't work. It shows the count on the notification icon in the notification bar up top, but not on the LPP shortcut. I already tried the Chuck Norris mode, and put GoSMSPro on the whitelist, still no luck...
Anybody have ADW Notfier or a similar app working for GoSMSPro launcher shortcuts?
If anyone has ADW Notifier working, please let me know how.
If you have another app working for that, please let me know which app.
Thanks!
Sorry....but ADW Notifier has been a bit of a mystery for me. Got it to work briefly on my K-9 email icon but when I flashed to a different ROM it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it going again.
Am watching responses to your question to see if I can get some insight.
doesnt work for me either, so i stopped trying to get it work
it used to work only after i "changed" the color of the popup (i.e. click change but use the same color as it was before) but now that doesnt work either. hope somebody can tell me how to fix it. Until then, I've uninstalled it so that it doesnt run as a service
It still works on my custom icons on the launcher dock for missed calls and e-mails (Gmail app), just not with GoSMSPro it seems... I wonder if it's not supported or what..
i think.. GoSMSpro has its own service. I uninstalled ADWnotifier and GoSMSpro has its own notification bubble, not neither phone nor gmail does now.. haha
I noticed that in the notification bar (when i unhide it) it shows a count over the icon up there, but not on my dock icon... This if frustrating. I also disabled the SMS part of ADW to try recreate what you saw, but it still won't show.
Where are you seeing the count now? On a dock icon? shortcut on homescreen? Thanks!
on the dock over the GoSMSpro icon
I just opted to delete ADW and go with Go Launcher and now everything is fine.
Does the GoLauncher also show the unread count for missed calls and e-mails the same way?
OK, I use the widgets I paid for in LPP so GoLauncher is not an option. The main reason I'm using GoSMS is for the "theming." I'm using black theming throughout my phone with red accents to cut down on screen drain, and it just looks awesome. My keyboard is themed the same way, and I hated the way the stock messanging app chat looks, with the blue and green. Is there any way to change that? I looked through the phone files a little bit but can't find the pictures that draw the chat bubbles. And If I found them I wouldn't know how to change the font color... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I use go SMS pro as well but I use SMS unread count and have no issues with it working with go SMS pro
I tried that, but SMS Unread only works on a widget you create, I'd like for it to show the count on my launcher dock icon/shortcut.
It seems that ADW.Notifier just isn't compatible with GoSMSPro... Because I even tried putting a shortcut to GoSMSPro on my homescreen, and with it in the whitelist with Norriz mode on it still doesn't provide the count.
This is why I now just want to change the theming of the stock messaging apps chat bubbles. Theming and customizing the look is the only thing that draws me to GoSMS, but if using it interferes with my homescreen look/functionality I don't want to use it.
Found somebody who is going to theme the chat bubbles of the stock messaging.apk. Will give me the look I'd like and functioning dock icon notifications.
Thanks for your time guys!
So i downloaded the minimal text "dirty" icon pack and am trying to change my launcher pro icons.
The problem is that the icons are black and my phone uses cyanogenmod 7's gallery app to sort through the icon files...so the picture/icon background in gallery is black..and the icons are black...leaving me with a black on black and no idea what they are.
How is everyone getting around this? is there a way to change the black background in cyanogenmod 7's gallery app?!
Try selecting the icons through astro file manager
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Trying that i ran into another problem. When i select change icon>custom icon, the default application is gallery. I tried settings>applications>manage>restore defaults for launcher pro and it does not seem to reset what i choose the icons with. when i try to reset defaults in gallery the button is grey so it doesn't register.
Also i tried uninstalling Launcher Pro and re-installing it. No dice.
Got a brand new P20 Pro just last week. Haven't change the settings or anything so everything is still in default. It was all fine until a few days ago. The issue is I can't change the lock screen style to other styles including making it into magazine type where it switches the lock screen wallpaper everytime the screen closes and turns on when it worked well before. Applying a theme from the Theme app doesn't work even though it says all my settings has been set to the theme I want and that includes the icon. I need to change all the wallpaper manually to get the desired one. I have updated my OS and Theme app to the latest one so what is the issue and how do I resolve it? Nothing has been rooted or anything. Any help will be appreciated.
