Hi,

Thanks for your work,love the new icone :)

Works great with AOKP build #20

One question:where have the keyboard with the blue ics in the first post?

Thanks :)

PS:i just saw the new notification icone,just awesome! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you!The keyboard is by gsxr750. You can find it at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14555-da...ue-tangerine-orange-now-red-keyboards1-23-12/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manatee Burger:
I second this.

Also, is there a way to make the text area black when the device is in landscape mode?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gerson2407:
I can't download the alt icon. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Hey everyone. I'm taking your requests into consideration. I will have some up in a little while
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianford10:
Fantastic, love it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laird_Attwood:
Great work! thanks man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
I want to try this out, but how would I remove it if I want to go back? Can you provide an uninstall zip we can flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
As another user mentioned, you can just rename the stock version to Mms.apk.bak. In the event you don't like mine, just delete it and rename the stock app to Mms.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
it's in colors.xml. all black (no divider lines) would be:

<color name="text_hairline">#00000000</color>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
That was one of the first edits I made. For some reason it just isn't working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I've had to re-edit certail xmls, save, then go back and put them the way they were originally before compiling- not sure why it's being a pain. Hey would you mind if i used your alt app_icon for my red/blue mms? Full credit of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
If you could make the boxes disappear I would greatly appreciate it and credit you in the OP. I've gone through it with apktool and apk manager to no avail. The app icon is not mine to distribute. I would say its fine though, I don't claim images made by Google with altered color.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Sure- no problem. I'll be working til late, then time with wife/kids so it'll probably be tomorrow sometime :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. Its driving me nuts! I don't get why apk manager doesn't include all files in the keep folder. At the same time its strange that all my other color values have taken except the hairline one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b33zu:
I like this a lot but I think there needs to be some polishes on it. First would be the message icon on the upper left when your texting a contact. It seems a little unpolished. The other I would like to see as an option is to make the text white when texting but keep the message icons that are on the left blue. I kinda feel that with everything being blue it clusters it up. I'm not asking to change it permanently this way but to have an option to do this that's flashable. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b33zu:
Edit: I just noticed that there is the alternative icon option. That one is polished and worked great. So just make a flashable one with white text instead of blue and that would be sweet. Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
The image I prefer does look kind of un polished, it doesn't bother me, but I'll look into higher quality. I don't really understand the second request. I have a version with white text for incoming and blue for outgoing messages. Is that what you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b33zu:
Ya but I would like an option for all white text for incoming and outgoing. Please of course. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
You may want to look at a version that alternate the font color between the sender and the precipitant.

I am running one that the senders font is white and mine ICS blue. It really helps me differentiate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Okay. I'll make one with all white text when I get home from work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
See the alternating Blue/White here Scroll down a post or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afguy0127:
I installed this last night, and I am LOVING it! It definitely should've come like this stock. Thanks so much for a great mod, I'll be keeping my eyes open to see what else you come up with!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
****ing awesome theme man :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I want to polish this up then get some of the other system apps going
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Not to be too demanding, but is it possible for a blue icon instead of the gray or black ? I am using a ICS Blue messaging icon from another theme, looks nice next to the blue Phone and Contact icons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
If you'd like, you can link me to whichever icon your referring to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I looked at your code tonight. All you need to do is alter message_list_item_send.xml in res/layout at line 6 (<RelativeLayout<View) from

position="left_upper"

to

position="left_middle"

and then in message_list_item_recv.xml do the same from

position="right_upper"

to

position="right_middle"

recompile and voila!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v36sedan:
Is there anyway to install using an apk since I'm not rooted yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Hey thanks a lot man! That did the trick right away. Will be posting the versions without the boxes shortly. Thanks again :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tunefoo:
can you make a red version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Yes. I'll get around to that when I have more time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
Sorry if it seems like we are all asking too much but the one with all white texts and no box, can you put the alternate black icon? The regular black just doesn't look as good to me :/ and these all contain the MMS blurry fix, correct?

Edit: OK I guess you aren't doing the alternate icon thong anymore haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laird_Attwood:
Thanks for the update, is there any chance when you can to add the alternative icon to the packs as well again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Okay... I can do the icon I originally added. Its been requested twice so I can do that. I included instructions on changing it because I've been asked for several different types already and its getting quite confusing managing the different icon mods. I'll put up the second icon for you guys though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Looks great with the update! Just a suggestion, how about making the time/day stamps gray so as not to interfere with the sms text?

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 AM ----------

Awesome, I definitely prefer the gray icon, but love everything else!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

Thanks for the mms.apk without the boxes and the different text colors :),great!

Also thanks for the how to for to change the icon,works perfect :)

Yes!That's awesome,can't wait :D

Thanks for your hard work ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
WOW! I just flashed the Blue outgoing white incoming w/box removed with alternate icon and I ABSOLUTELY love it! Best mod yet to my phone. PLEASE do the gmail app next. Your work is amazing!

the only suggestion I have would be making the time stamps gray, otherwise it is perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you sir. I'll take that grey time stamp change into consideration. So far the requests here have given results I'm happy with as well, so thank you guys for the input. I'll keep the two icons updated in the future, others will have to be added by the user. Swapping images is the easiest mod to perform
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keskincene:
Thanks 4 ure work its awsome without boxes and blue white textes. Keep up this good work

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
you have to be rooted to install. it's a system app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
:-) no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b33zu:
Thanks again the white incoming and outgoing is exactly what I wanted. Options are good. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Looking Good, Other APPS?

Are you working on contacts? I have tried all I can find and no-one can completely invert all the aspects of contacts. Sure, when you look at it is inverted but when you select one or edit you find the ugly child.

As you know contacts pop into what ever app your using that needs it.

Below is a pic from people left and MMS right.

Have a Look. Take the challenge? I'll be donation to who ever cleans this up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
I'd rather have the gmail app done up first anyway, I assume it'd be easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
There ya go :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
What? lol where did this come from? Does it work on the stock rooted LTE 4.0.2 build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
No, sorry- it must be on 4.0.3 and deodexed (because that's what I have, so that's what i made :p). If you are still stock, then you still have .odex files and your phone will not be pleased ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
yea I do have the .odex files. I like the stock build for now, which is why I'm hoping someone can come up with a dark themed gmail app for it :)

Could you theoretically just take the image files from your darkened gmail app and put them in my stock gmail.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
That's not how odexing works. You can't theme anything on odexed roms. Think of .odex files (which stands for optimized dalvik executable)as tiny "performance enhancers" that write a small cache file as to your last habits of an app. When you fire it up again, it uses the .odex file to boots the performance at the beginning. The difference is very minimal (almost placebo) and if you were to push any changes to gmail, it's odex file would not associate properly, and FC it. On de-odexed roms, every .odex file has been placed inside the apk as a classes.dex file. This makes it portable with the apk and not auto compiled by the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4747:
Any way that taking the apk out of the zip file and just replacing the stock MMS in system/app and rebooting (modded app worked fine after that) would cause me to lose any ability to connect to 3g or 4g ever since?

I know this wouldn't normally cause any issues, but I installed this way yesterday and have not been able to obtain service back since...have tried wiping everything, reflashing several other roms, removing battery/sim card, rebooting, NOTHING works, I can only use Wifi.

I have been on the latest AOKP toro ROM ever since it was released and have never had this issue. Also, it is not an outage, as I have been in several different towns since yesterday... this is horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I'm not sure, I haven't heard any other issues like that. Maybe its the blurry sms fix. I'll make a version without it and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
But i have an mms.odex and this mod works fine on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Odd. It shouldn't work. It might not work after a reboot or cache clearing though, so just a heads up. If you want to de-odex that one file (and are rockin' some Linux), open a terminal and run:

#!/bin/sh

# put the path to 'system/framework' here, i.e.:
BCP=../framework

ODEX=`echo $1 | sed 's/\.\(jar\|apk\)$//'`.odex
if [ -f "$ODEX" ] && [ -f "$1" ]; then
baksmali -d "$BCP" -x $ODEX
smali -o classes.dex out
aapt add $1 classes.dex && rm $ODEX
rm -r classes.dex out

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnrice:
possible to make a white incoming, ics blue outgoing, no boxes, but with grey timestamp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
The edits for color aren't PNG files. They are hex values that are changed in XML files. In order to edit them you need to decompile the apk and change the values in the color XML located at /res/values then recompile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
*edit- nbeebe24 beat me to it :)

It isn't a .png, it's two .xmls, specifically:

message_list_item_send.xml

and

message_list_item_recv.xml

look in line 14 for

android:textColor="@color/text_hairline" android:id="@id/date_view"

change

"@color/text_hairline"

to

"#BEBEBE"

yup. just realized that and deleted my 2nd post. lol. thanks. i'll go ahead and do that. do you know the value/code for that stock grey color?

Hey artvandelay, since you have knowledge of theme work, would you consider helping me with some of these requests?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
Still having troubles with MMS, Wont send or receive pictures, The app is installed as system, I've tried setting all permissions, Etc. All i get is the DL button when i get a picture, I hit it, Nothing happens OR it says "download failed"

When sending an MMS it just gets stuck with "SENDING..." And eventually times out. any help would be appreciated, I know it's not a problem with my phone seeing as i can send and receive them perfectly fine with the Stock ICS SMS App.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Happy to help if you need :) We should start one final thread and aggregate all our combined versions for ease of access.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Do you get the same issue if you adb push another themed mms from somewhere else? What ICS version are you on? Are you deodexed? Any info you have that might narrow down the problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
I get the same problem with all custom mms apps, Im currently running lord Clockans ICS rom on the Inspire 4G with the inspire mod audio fix, I can't say for sure if it's deodexed or not, You think you could talk to me on Gmail chat? Would be a lot more efficient.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450962 Link to the ROM im using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I'm actually getting ready to go home to the fam, but i suspect it's something to do with that rom. Make a complete nandroid, then try another well known custom rom. If mms works, it's the rom. You can check for odexing by going to /system/app in root explorer and if you're odexed every app will have an accompanying .odex file listed beneath it. Sorry- best i have right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
In this case, it's deodexed.

Thank you for the help though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shaquiel Harris:
Same mms issue running gummynex latest. Almost got fired because I couldn't send my manager a picture of something. No Bueno mi amigo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Yea some help would be great lol. I just tried to make a darkened gmail app myself by taking some images from a 4.0.3 build dark gmail apk and while I did get it to work, only some of the mods took effect causing me to have a half dark & half normal themed gmail app, very strange looking so I just reverted back to the stock apk.

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Ok so I'm trying to edit the .xml files for the gray time stamp mod, but when I open the .xml it gives me a bunch of weird symbols and what not. how do I edit it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
You're trying to edit them without decompiling. Do that first, then edit and recompile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
just tried that and failed miserably. I'm using apk manager and when I tried to recompile it first gave me an error then continued and asked if it was a system apk to which I said yes, then it asked me a bunch of other questions. Long story short I tried loading up the apk on my phone and it didn't work at all :/ should I have said it is not a system apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
What you need to do is copy your framework-res apk and mms apk to the Modding folder. Open the apk manager script and choose option 22 to select the framework-res.apk. decompile that then choose the mms apk and drcompile that. After you've made your edits choose to compile the mms apk and choose yes for both prompts. Before you finish with apk manager you need to delete the folders that contain anything you've edited in the keep folder, plus the resources file in your decompiled mms folder. Press any key on the apk manager prompt and you'll get a compiled file in the Modding folder called unsignedmms.apk. that's the finished product
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Dang, ninja edited again! :-)

You need to register your framework with your c drive root folder. Im not at my computer, but i wrote some instructions in a post a few threads back about decompiling gapps. This way you will never have to register them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Thanks for the help guys. So in my projects folder right now, I have the framework-res and the modified mms.apk. When I go to compile the mms.apk with .xml modifications I get this error though:

Any ideas? What do I do with the framework-res.apk after I decompile it? Do I just let it sit in the projects folder?

Thanks again for all the help guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
If you follow this, you won't need your keep folder :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21843644&postcount=5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
That's only for decompiling right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It lets you compile without errors too.

k i just got back home an hour ago and proceeded to decompile one of the mms.apk to make the color code change...but i'm having issues with apktools. i'm able to decompile and edit the proper .xml files, but i cant recompile... i get this error in terminal >>>

lol whichever of us gets it to work first should post it for the other :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
You might need to update to either the multi tool or apk manager 5.0.2, as older versions don't support ics framework, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
I may have got it. Trying now...Fingers crossed!

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

WOOO HOOO! I got it! Thanks for all the help guys, I wish the time stamp was slightly grayer tho. Is there a different code I could put in the .xml to make it slightly more gray. Now it blends in with the white a little too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Care to share it so others may use it as well? Good job! You can always enter a hex value for a darker gray. Also, the two letters before the hex value mean transparency and opaque. Does yours start with ff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
See below for update gray time stamp!

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

What do you mean by the hex value?

I followed the directions posted on post 137:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21863658&postcount=137

How do I check what mine start with? I'm a little confused, sorry I'm still a noob :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It's all good-everyone starts somewhere. Hex color codes are alphanumeric and refer to RGB color values in raster images. 000000 is all black. ffffff is all white. You can use gimp or photoshop's eye drop tool to sample any image pixel and get its hex color. FYI, your mms looks great-I do see you missed the message confirmation checkmark, but it's easy. It's a png in drawable-xhdpi. Great work, man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
ahh okay I'll fix the check mark, thanks! So how would I go about making the time stamp say 1 shade darker gray?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
If you use gimp (by far my favorite, and free!) click the color box in the right toolbar, which will open a color wheel. Find you desired shade and click the box next to the hex code box. It will populate your desired hex code.

If you don't want to usE gimp (shame on you:)), then there are zillions of online hex tools.

Edit-never, ever type on xda from an iPad. Soooo many misspellings lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
ahh okay Gimp labels it as "HTML Notation" so ICS blue for example is this: 33b5e5

would I just paste that into the xml file where I had previously put: #BEBEBE

Thanks for the help! :)

Also, do I need to put the # sign in front of it? So I'd add it to the xml as #33b5e5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Exactly,yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Awesome, I decided to instead try using a lighter blue (to go with the whole ICS theme) for the time stamp. About to see how it's gonna turn out :D
