It's not absolutely necessary to run a custom themed rom. You could manually deodex yourself if you really want to. This involves taking the .odex file associated with every single app and repackaging it within the actual .apk as a classes.dex file. There are several tutorials on how to do this, but be warned- it is painstaking and tedious work. You might try looking for a stock deodexed rom, which would save you a TON of work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pesc96:
But you have to do it: You can flash a Stock Custom ROM with root and deodexed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394246

edit: On my GN it works with Apex 1.0.2 thx to the dev :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grossermanitu:
Rooting is OK for me. But I don't want to flash a custom rom on my nexus. I don't want to loose the OTA updates. And don't get me wrong my experiences with custom roms in the past were that they never worked 100% stable therefore were very time consuming. Is there any way to change the mms/contacts.apk without the use of a custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silare:
Perfect

Works perfectly on my Samsung Vibrant (with ICS Passion). Thank you, CurtJRees for making some of the apps I use the most blend in with the majority of ICS. I'm still getting over how awesome my phone looks. =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CurtJRees:
Actually Google state there is three types of the Holo theme, Holo, Holo.Light and Holo.Light.DarkActionBar

Holo itself is what I have edited these apps to look like.

You can read about Holo here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html

Thanks for the support everyone, Gmail and Calendar will be coming soon, had to take a small break for personal reasons but I'm back working on them now :D

Wow awesome job! The calculator looks amazing! In fact it all does!

edit- any chance of having different colour text for incoming and outoging text messages? (like this ... )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
I prefer the white text only. If you do make this, please make it a separate apk. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
I've made contacts.apk with the original contacts avatar in ics colors. Based in this Holo style of course.

Edit: Added matching mms.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colbyb25:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Yeah I'm all for options mate :) it'd be nice to test which I prefer most
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Nice job mate! I do like the option of having the stock contact icon :D

Does this transfer to the MMS contact icon too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
No.

But I already made the changes to the mms.apk and I will upload it when I'll be near a PC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
Its an Apk file, not a zip file.

Use the following procedure:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ieisha:
So I need to unzip and get the apk

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
No...

Have a look at the file's extension, it's called Calculator.apk , so no need to unzip whatsoever.

Just follow the procedure above as is.

Permissions should be rw-r--r--

how did you go about doing this mod? i would like to rebase this mod on current master how dould i go about merging them WITHOUT the source could i get the source code or can i just unzip the apk? i dont think so but could be wrong need a push in the right direction here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomSim:
Replacing the contacts.apk cause the Phone app to go missing from the apps drawer. This is happening for me with the latest AOKP rom for my evo 3D. I have attached the contacts.apk from this rom if you would want to take a look at it. Bright white contacts kills the eyes! Thanks for this! btw, this worked on the previous versions of AOKP but just not the newest. Permissions are correct, and the contacts app is working, but the phone link disappears from the app drawer and any existing links say "app not installed"

The MMS app crashes every time I try to use the app's built search tool. Any ideas on how to fix this? Has anyone else had this happen to them or am I alone on my own island with this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
That's a compile issue. OP, if you update your apktool.jar file and adapt.exe it will fix it. Of course , you'd have to start with a stock apk and apply the mods again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TBolt4Now:
Is this something I could do or did you mean this is something the guy who created the modded MMS app would have to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
that would be something the modder would have to do.

I PM'd the OP and yourself about the issue. I hope you don't mind.

Does everyone else have the MmsSmiley.apk? I looked in /system/app and i searched other places and can't seem to find it. what does it change anyway? Is it the smileys within the messaging app? thanks. everything else installed great and looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I use it all the time, just rename it to mms.apk. it just has the smileys in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I installed them fine. Did you set the permissions correctly after pasting then in system/apps?

And btw the favorites star in contacts to add a favorite is invisible till you press it cause you know its there. Figured I'd tell ya.

Is your phone out of update mode yet?

If not, and it's still in USB connect mode, then unplug from computer and plug in to wall power source. It will eventually realize that it's not connected to a computer, that it's never going to get any information, and eventually shut down and restart (about 3-5 minutes).

I was stuck in this mode twice when I first got the phone.

How to select External SD Card as the default place for data storage ?

I have a Samsung W I8150 which has a 2 GB built in memory. SO i have installed a 32 GB microSC card as external.

Now, when i download and install an app, all the data of the app is stored in the internal memory and it gets filled up.

How can I change the default location to the external SD Card in Stock 2.3.6 ?
[Xperia Play General] jajabinx35:
Seriously, since I've started working, I have had no time to play my console games. At night, I come home and I can't be asked to switch on my PS3, especially when I'm dying to go to sleep. So in the end I've decided to sell my PS3 as it is really gathering dust and that practically puts an end for the fun time I had with console gaming.

Now, I have had the xperia play for many months. At night, before I sleep, I have a quick game since it doesn't take too long to set up and that I can quickly turn the phone off and doze to sleep (a guy has to have some form of entertainment in a day right?) This has been going on for a while now, been playing these 'mobile' games not entirely in excitement, but just to appreciate why I have bought this phone. HOWEVER, everything has changed since the last week. I liked my phone a week ago but now, I completely LOVE IT!

Ever since the Onlive service has come out, I can play CONSOLE games on my phone and in quick succession. People may think I'm strange for playing console games on my phone. But in my situation, this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Seriously, I can't live without my phone and despite whether the rumours are true that the sales of the phone is down the dumps, this is perhaps the most underrated phone OF ALL TIME! I even get thoughts to buy a second xperia play incase Sony decide to stop producing these phones and I hate buying second hand phones!

So overall what I'm trying to say is. If the Xperia Play does stop in production, I can only hope to get a phone, which has a gamepad and the onlive system is released on it! I can't believe that I can play console games, mobile games, watch movies, read books, make phone calls on one device. I really do hope the xperia play does well, if it fails.....and I lose or break my phone. I've really had it lol.
[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
cheers man!

Just think about me, i love this phone as much as you, AND i can't access onlive 'cause it's not effin working in my region (wake the ef up italy!).

Still, i'm in your exact same position. Get back home, everyone's asleep, i just dive in my bed, earphones, and pop in some good old Link to the past, some secret of mana, some Fire emblem and that's all i need for my gaming life :D

I used to have emulators on my pc, but then i got an arrow to the... sorry, i mean, i had a whole bunch of emulators on my laptop but i just uploaded them on my xplay for me to enjoy!
[Xperia Play General] will8578:
I have to totally agree aswell, iv had a tmobile pulse then a wildfire then a blade then a desire, im not really a gamer but i really liked this phone, 4inch screen, 1ghz processor, and to make it even better i got one of ebay for £130, £20 less than what i paid for my desire, and i love this phone so much, games are excellent, dont really care about flaws cause they dont bother, i even like the SE home launcher lol, nice to see a positive thread rather than a negative one.
[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
damn i'd love stock SE launcher IF it had panorama view. One of the occasions in which i use the phone the most is when it's hooked up in my car, and have to navigate in portrait is hellish, but it's even worse when i need to send an sms and i use google's voice recognition, the window pop up in portrait making correcting and typing while driving practically worse than doing it without speech recognition :D
[Xperia Play General] ricosuavez35:
driving and typing is unsafe and illegal here ...unfortunately people dont care and it makes driving much more risky for everyone
[Xperia Play General] AtomicKoala:
Its not working in Italy? Thats ridiculous. Its in the EU, and theres not that much to translate.
[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
yeah it's illegal here too, illegal and stupid, that's why i don't use stock SE launcher :P From the first time that google voice recognition got his italian translation i've been using it like crazy. That's another thing that's way implemented in android and most of the times goes almost unnoticed (at last, here)
[Xperia Play General] rubbergnome:
I'm in Italy too, I confirm it's not working. I mean, I can play demos and stuff fine using an apk got here on xda, and translations aren't a problem of course.

[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
You mean, landscape view? 2.3.3 only supported a landscape lockscreen and you had to trick it into showing even that but 2.3.4 does support landscape. It only does it with the slider extended, but it does do it.
[Xperia Play General] b1g1an:
Nope, it does it when its in the dock. Its triggered by the magnet that's in the dock so you could fix a small magnet to your carholder to trick it into working.
[Xperia Play General] ps3taker:
I don't use it every day like this but i love it too for making all of the above possible.
[Xperia Play General] abstractbeats:
I think it's the best phone of all time too, and I quickly came to realise, it's the device I've always wanted. Tekken 3 in my pocket! And of course I can customise the phone any way I want, play music and video, put my social life on it, go on the internet etc.

If the Play didn't exist, I'd just have whatever inexpensive to own Android that can browse the web smoothly and can run video at its own screen resolution. I didn't upgrade my previous iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4/whatever because I realised the only game I was playing with a touchscreen for longer than a day was Scrabble / Words with Friends.

I think the law of diminishing returns has set in with the newer phones... Given the need to have a small screen to fit in your pocket, (honest question) what is the purpose of future phones with more processing power for that small screen, if not for games, and physical controls are what makes games fun. 5 minutes on Sonic CD with and without the gamepad proves that... At least, what is a purpose worth tying yourself to a more expensive contract for? (£150 handset price + £10 a month giffgaff sim for a phone this capable was so cheap!)
[Xperia Play General] johnylim:
Im agree. This phone not the best for it specs, but this really the best for all off it purposes, it fit for our daily life.

We can do all thing for convenience with only 1 device, the XPlay.

- Clear screen

- High quality stereo speaker

- Good music quality

- Great camera

- Very good 720p camcorder

- Fast Internet

- Best mobile gaming experience.

etc, etc... so much good stuff in this 1 device, i will never regret buying these phones, will never change to other phone again except Play successors.

the only lacking stuff is a HDMI out port.
[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
This phone is awesome. I came from the Motorola atrix and that is a powerful phone. I still like it. But i realized that i actually don't need that much processing power. I make calls, txt, music, surf the the net, light youtubing... and games... i almost never touch. And i am a gamer.

So what's wrong? Touchscreens just suck! I cant stand playing on it. And i don't like a lot of these new mobile touchscreen games. I got the play for a really good price and I'm so glad i did! I have more fun on gameboy advance games then anything on the android market. Plus the play with its "subpar" specs does everything the atrix can do at roughly the same speed. Dual core is unfortunately such a waste on phones right now. They aren't truly optimized yet.

I would love to see a successor to the play. But who knows if that will happen...
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Yeah I agree. Touchscreen does suck! It's like your thumbs cover half of the screen and to be honest there's just no enjoyment playing on a touchscreen.

It just feels so nice playing with physical buttons.

You have that extra space between your hands and the screen.

Oh, and I love my Xperia Play, my first Android Smartphone it's just got everything I need.

I don't know why but the screen is a beast. Okay, it may not use the Bravia Engine but still it's so crisp,clear and HUGE! bigger than an iphone screen

Best purchase eva ! :)
