Wow this looks great! I was using a diff version of a MMS just like this from another person but really love this one especially since I don't use contact pictures so having the little Android guy is much better than a grey portrait.

Just curious if you had plans to remove the grey divider outlines in the individual text threads?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Looks great!

Would you be able to fix blury MMS for T-Mobile US? I love the themed app but my mms are buried
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Sure. Will you point me to the fix? I'll see if I can add it in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigystylz:
wont install with root explorer for me either, Just says this application was not installed.. dunno if i am doing something wrong or??? really looks good from the pics. i am a little dissapointed that it wont install for me :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
You don't install it, you just copy it and replace the original. If you do that and still have issues let me know. I'll upload another version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmerlos:
Here's a link for instructions on how to add the mms fix for T-Mobile

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigystylz:
so i delete the old mms.apk i have in there?? i am jsut making sure still kinda new at this lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Im on a stock rooted build of 4.0.2 and all the .zips in here have worked fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
sorry- should have clarified. If your mms incorporates any aspects that are dependent on other apks (like framework or systemUI), then you'd have to be deodexed. An example would be the 3 dot menu at the bottom. It's dependent on framework, so if that was themed, it wouldn't work on odexed roms. The best option would be to release a themed app with no reliances on other apks. (like nbeebe24 did)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xx13xx:
so every time I push this apk my phone loses the ability to send mms. the app isn't crashing, its just not sending thru. I am on 4.0.3 codename android, Permissions are set correctly and i am not installing in root explorer. I kept the old messsaging apk thru rename (.bak) and even after restoring the originial messaging i get no love. Have had to do factory reset and rom reinstalls like 3 times this morning trying to isolate the issue. Any help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th3taman:
Thanks for this one, installed and looks good! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Today I'll be posting another version without the blurry mms fix for those who are having problems to test. I suspect that's what's causing problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
No problem! Just added the blue check mark mod as well. Here is the updated screenshot and .zip. Enjoy!

Okay, here is the link to the very first mod I did without the mms fix: mediafire.com/?vqdcvp8b48s2ckc. It needs to be pushed to the phone since I'm not at my computer to put it in a flashable zip. Please test and let me know the results.

Thanks BMWPower06 for the additional mods. I'll add them to the OP when I get home

Has anyone tested my original apk for mms issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnrice:
as i made my colored mms apk based off your apk. i had issues not being able to send mms and receiving mms pictures as video. very strange. so i reverted back to stock mms.

I just installed your orginal mms apk and im having the same issues. when sending mms, its stuck at "sending" status and never completes sending the picture. just thought i'd let ya know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Okay, thank you for the feedback. I'll look deeper into this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I'll see if i can test some too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
I don't want to seem ungrateful cause I sure cannot write this stuff. But all the inverted MMS and Contacts apps out there are still a bit sloppy or unfinished

Its OK if you just read and reply in portrait mode, but touch a contact and/or edit one, or reply to a text in landscape mode and its a mess.

The root cause is the contacts app does not have all its screens inverted. White screens with almost white fonts. Black cursors on black screens.

As far as texting or replying in landscape, it may have been just overlooked?

Are not the developers testing all the functions of an apk? If so why is it not mentioned or noted that some things cannot be inverted or at least a "Coming Soon".

I have and will donate but I see some laziness or lack of information as to why these ugly shortcomings remain.

I think before we go into worrying about staggered messages with different font colors and icon colors we should get the darned app fully inverted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Then please start coding. Family time comes first. Yes, there is still stuff to polish, it just takes time, and will eventually get done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
lol honestly if you don't like it then don't use it. I had a couple mods I wanted to do so I did them myself and personally I think its perfect now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
I knew some of that was coming and I said don't get me wrong. And I am using them but understand the comebacks.

I used to write GUI and this android thing is way out there for me and I have looked for a beginners tool that does not require a degree to get started but do not know what I'm looking for. So point he way if your not too mad at me. I have the time believe me.

I'm just shaking the bush a little. The apps are fantastic but the quirks come at the wrong time I guess.

I have an Andrew Jackson donation for the one who takes care of the glitches mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gerson2407:
Now this looks fkn nice! Thanks for your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gerson2407:
I've updated to his latest apk and my mms is working just fine. What version of android are you running? If this helps anyone at all, I'm running 4.0.3 on faux's kernel. I also have those new leaked radios I found in the development section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
OKay, for those of you still having problems, I have yet another version for you to try. I believe this one should fix the issue. Flash it and let me know please http://www.mediafire.com/?0br555urimdfn7j
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
The thing I noticed is that the some apps call to other apps for their images. When I think I changed something, I'll push it to my phone to test and it'll remain the same. For example, to get the menu button in the Mms apk blue I had to change the colors in the framework-res apk. Doing that wasn't even a global change, as some apps still have the grey menu dots. I'm still learning myself, and I will say it is pretty confusing sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
testing now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
Is it me or does the keyboard feel a lot better and easier to type with? Is there something you added or used to get that "feel" of that keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
The MMS_Fix.zip WORKED :DDD THANK YOU SO MUCH :'D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
No sir. Didn't modify the keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Nice! That was a quick version that doesn't have the animated notification active. I'll post the closer to finished product in a few. I'm also thinking about pulling the all white and all blue text versions. The blue and white text is clearly more popular. What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
Honestly, I just like the all white text version, With an unanimated Statusbar Icon... Thats just me though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Here is the text entry screen in landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laird_Attwood:
Isn't that the same as default mms.apk

(looks like mine (using different keyboard and have blue softkeys)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I'm confused as to what you guys are talking about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Swype bu tit don't matter. Does yours invert with the stock keyboard? I'm thinking its just overlooked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
That was mentioned to me a couple days ago as I remember. I forgot to take a look at that since I never enable auto rotation. I'll look at that after some updates and when I get home from work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Op updated with Blue and white text version with time grey time stamp (thanks again BMWPower06). The versions uploaded have the MMS fix included. I'll include it in the other versions after I get home from work. Sorry for the partial update, but Enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
thanks for the beautiful app :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Yeah, this is also present in the stock messaging app. I'll try to take a look and see if it can be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
You're welcome and thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnrice:
i switched to a very similarly if not identical dark theme'd mms apk based off the 4.0.3 mms.apk by tgwaste over at rootzwiki. mms send/receive is working. i'd switch, but dont wanna fix something that is now working. nbeebe24, it seems you figured out the issue with your mms.apk, good stuff!

oh and i'm sure nbeebe24 is gonna get working on the landscape mode (white/stock background) when he gets the time. again, good job on updating though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Can you link me to the one at tapatalk please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I found the fix for the landscape issue. Seems google has never actually had this feature (every android version has this landscape full-screen thing), and it took some digging into the developer API portal to find the correct attribute. I'll be incorporating it into all my themes- nbeebe24- hit me up if it's something you'd like here (I don't want to tell you what to do with your themes, lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Most definitely. Thank you for all your help. Its good to have people come together to improve on things
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmaddox1:
I wish the DHD community was as nice as the Galaxy Nexus community is.. Damn, Almost makes me want to save the money for an unlocked Gnexus..

Thank you guys for working together instead of arguing like immature brats all the time, That's really what makes these themed apps so appealing, Hard work was put into them by multiple people, and put out fast, with great support from the devs for bugs/etc. Thanks for the app ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
agreed. GNex community is a lot better than some i've participated in. I've had a lot extremely knowledgeable people help with some wicked hard stuff and am very grateful.

-nbeebe24- PM sent with fix :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
You're the man! Really though, hats off to you. You've been sharing knowledge since you've entered this thread and I really appreciate not being told to just Google it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Agreed. This community is a great place to be a part of. Its a non stop learning experience and I love it. I want to absorb all I can so one day I can share something really great with everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Any time- open source rocks. I had to hunt through the google xml repos for the correct attribute, and as far as i know we're the first themes to incorporate this :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Nice! So when I apply what you've sent me will the text automatically invert so its not black on black?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Maybe. If it does, just use

android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverse

as the text color- it's easier than manually changing every value to #ffffffff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Okay cool. I just tried adding the mod and get the error:...not well-formed (invalid token) any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
maybe attach a screenshot of your xml code? It sounds like your attributes might not be properly synced with google's android API levels.

-i compiled yours without any errors and attached it. not sure what happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I'm not sure either. Here's a screen shot of the errors though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
that looks like some bad syntax somewhere. Does your hex editor auto color to show broken syntax? I use Sublime Text 2 for xml editing and it changes the colors when syntax is broken. Make sure you have all your <,>,:," placed correctly. It should give you a code line where the error occurred in the log. (maybe line 22, if that looks correct?) Anyway, i attached a working copy in last message to get your OP updated, and now i really gotta get to bed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I'll check that out. Since you posted the apk already do you mind if I add it to the op while I sort the error out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Go for it. Glad to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thanks man. Whoever reads this should thank this man
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
Hey all, been lurking this thread and love this mod. Thanks to all involved.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but when I try to use the search option I get a force close. I never use this feature so it doesn't bother me but I just wanted to point it out if it hasn't already been mentioned.

Again, thanks to everybody involved for this. I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
What do you mean? When you press the search key?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Good find.

Using the magnifying glass on the text message list screen to search for something causes a force close. Any idea how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
It doesn't do that with mine at all

Edit: okay after testing that out I realized it does fc. I'll look into that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It does on my theme too. I'll get to take a look at it later tonight. Thank you so much to all the testers lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Looks good, love the different colour for ingoing and outgoing... Could you add a gradient option please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. I'll see about that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Thanks Guys for the inverted inversion.

I am a PI and remaining covert and texting is major in the business. I had just received a text the perp was very close and to get ready and put the phone down and it went into portrait and lit up the cab!

Lucky me I tossed my note pad over it and got the shot undetected. THANKS.

Side note: Yes the search force closes or says stopped working when I hit the execute arrow.

Also, The empty pic place holder you use is very nice but too bright for my profession. I went into the res folder and changed it to the common dark one you may have seen in others. I take the phone in the hall bath with the lights out to test.

Keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dezvous:
How feasible would it be to create something like the image I've attached?

I love dark themed apps and you've done a great job with yours, but for me, there's just too little contrast throughout. What I love about the stock light messaging app is that even though it's subtle, there's a great contrast between the application and messages as a whole.

I've attached an image with what I find more preferable, the different messages and parts of the app (like the contact info at the top) don't blend together as much as when everything is basically black. Here we get some subtle dark grey tones here and there to mix it up while still remaining dark. And the stock green icon as well as only incoming texts in blue does enough to not make it seem like blue overkill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. While I appreciate your insight I have to disagree slightly. My favorite color is blue, so the theme satisfies my personal preference. I actually don't get why there is still green images floating around in some apps, to my eyes it clashes. You're more than welcome to modify mine to your tastes though :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It sounds like what you want to do can be accomplished with just a few hex color edits- very simple stuff. I really (really really) have a lot of debugging to do, but if i have time, i'll throw together a version for you some time beginning of next week. (you may have to remind me) Or, you could try it yourself ;) I do agree with nbeebe24 about the design, but to each his own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dezvous:
I'm a graphic artist but I have little to no experience with android app design/deconstruction or anything like that.

If you would so kindly point me in the right direction on how to get in there and edit some hex code stuff and then recompile it I would be happy to have a go at it myself. I just have no idea where to start. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
nbeebe24-per your request.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I pushed to my phone. Still black. Will you pm a screen shot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Yeah, it will be black because the background behind it is black and with transparency enabled, the box will show what's behind it. Did i misunderstand?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Oh okay. I was looking for full transparency. So the wallpaper is visible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
looks ****ing awesome now i need a gmail just like the MMS! i certainly appreciate it! could you possible make a gmail one day :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Just finished my ICS themed Gmail app. The thread will be up in a couple of minutes!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
I really like the phone/people app.

Is it transparent? All the little blue Android guys, are they your wallpaper or is that the background of the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. Its the actual background of the app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MakoVince:
Guess Im one of those people, any chance you can make a non-busy version of the people app? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
nbeebe24 You Da Man!

I have been ranting and squalling across 4 forums for the contacts to be refined and you got it.

Thanked you in the OP. I don't see a donate button eh?

As for MakoVince wanting a non-busy, hang in there I am making those cosmetic changes myself and will share if allowed.

It will have darkened empty pic place holders and a plain black background. Its not that I don't like the raining androids, I think its a very, very cool look, its my profession that has me wanting things as dark as possible.

THANKS AGAIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v36sedan:
download for the new contacts.zip keeps failing

Edit: nvm. Finally got one to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
nbeebe24, i'm really close to fixing the FC on mms.apk search function, but i need a stock framework-res.apk from the official google image so i can decompile with it as a dependant. I can't download from dev forum, because that OP had his link at megaupload (r.i.p.), and google is being extremely slow. :( Any chance you have one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dom18:
Just last night I was getting the MMS apk from you on this page now BOOM we have Contacts and more!

Amazing work, and as other said in previous posts, I cant wait to see you work your magic on Gmail or any other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I don't have the stock framework. As soon as I got my Nexus I rooted it and flashed a rom on it. Will anyone in this thread (with a rooted stock build) post their framework-res apk please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
4.0.3 please :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Is that even possible? My understanding is that there is no true 4.0.3 release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
me too, can we get one without the busy background =D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Thank you. I appreciate the support. Its easy to throw in a black background, but then that'll make me feel like this is just another black one. I won't add a donate button until I have something with images I have created, and is truly unique. I wouldn't feel right asking for money because I changed some colors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Meh- Swype fail. Meant to type 4.0.2. Why do they have to put the 2 right next to the 3 ? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Edit: Updated the file to one with a working search function version. Empty pic place holders a little darker.

I Call this my Gloom & Doom. Lots of Blue Toned down with dark grays replacing them. I'm not done yet. Just done for today.

Just expand the apk and replace your current one. Renam your current first so you can revert if you no likey.

I am a PI and need to avoid lighting up my face while attempting to remain covert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
O hai there, functioning search...... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
You got it? What was the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It has to do with what program i was using to decompile. Apparently, apkmanager 5.0.2 breaks it when decompiling. Updated to apk multi-tool, reinstalled newest framework, decompiled new copy of stock mms, made changes for my version, and recompiled. If you need, I can try yours too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Oh okay. Thanks for the find. I need to upgrade to apk multi-tool as well. If you'd like to apply the changes to mine you're more than welcome to. You've been a huge help already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahqball:
The first post instructions kind of confuse me (sorry for noob-like question)

Can we simply download relevant zip, extract Mms.apk and replace in /system/app?

Or is this flashable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Actually, now that i think about it, you'll have to decompile a fresh from stock version of mms, push changes, and compile after updating to the new multi-tool. Simply decompiling an existing copy won't work. Sorry. man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I understand that. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I've added a version to the Contact/People theme with an all black background to the OP. Hey artvandelay, will you link me to your Mms apk please?
