Thank you very much kind one! :D
[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
Is it possible to change the homescreen messaging icon to blue gray or black or can they be noved from a theme somehow? Thanks
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Yes, I can change them :)

[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
If you can make any of those three colors, I would greatly appreciate it. I added Black Bionix theme then your transparent messaging and all of the icons on homescreen are black or Gray. Then I tried Honeycomb Fusion and I am sure you know almost everything is blue. For The themes that are based on one color these would be perfect. I am sure someone will ask for red too I pulled an all nighter tryin to move them between themes. Don't think its possible. Thanks in advance if you throw a couple together. Man, the keyboard fix, transparent messaging, answering questions...you are on fire!
[Epic 4G Apps] pauldiddy:
any progress on stock transparent email?
[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
Surprised theImpaler has time to breathe! Time to fire up the PC for some "Thanks" if you can knock one or two of these out today. I have absolutely no idea how difficult it is so...when you can. I bet they get used a lot though
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
No problem, happy to do it :)

Haven't really had a chance to even look yet :(

Thanks man, I appreciate it :)
[Epic 4G Apps] pauldiddy:
just fyi,managed to set dialer and contacts also completely transparent and modified it to match my theme.also slightly adjusted mms.

check my sig ;)
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Very nice man!

Hey, no fair, that one b4 my Dark blue or gray one? Lol
[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
This is as close as I can get but when you get one of those two done its back to your transparent messaging 4 sure. Damn and you can't see the grey and green icon of course

Lol, I already had that one done ;) :D
[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
There we go...uugh

Just tried to flash emotionless beast and black notification. First it installed generic transparent. When I reflashed it deleted my messaging app and hosed swype and the rom. I had to restore nandroid and I'm good. Any advice?
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Ummm........ try another one? Because these work lol.
[Epic 4G Apps] The Root:
I'll download. Worst case I restore again.
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Yeah, try the original one this time or something :)
[Epic 4G Apps] The Root:
EB worked. Maybe it was the black notifications.
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Cool cool :) I'll take a look, see if I can find anything
[Epic 4G Apps] The Root:
Members. I'm dumb. I was already on EB theme, so notification was already themed. Bubbles aren't clear, though.
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I forgot to do that when I updated :o
[Epic 4G Apps] The Root:
So the background is clear, but not the bubbles? If so, that's ok. I love it.
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Yup :) Exactly. Glad you like it! :D

Here are some screens I took.

Only real complaint I have is the notification icon for new messages is yellow. I know this is standard in 2.2, but the black notification icon > yellow IMO. But that's no deal breaker for me, still keeping this fine addition on my phone :cool:

[Epic 4G Apps] qbking77:
Thank you for this!!! Its amazing... only thing is I like the green or black messaging icon over the yellow.. as you know ;) .... also, is there any way to highlight the unread messges when you look at all of them?
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
I could do something like that, and yeah get me the black notification png or something and I'll change it up :) Glad you're liking it though! :D
[Epic 4G Apps] Animas1020:
I got the PNGs for ya right here. Just pulled them from the MMS.apk that came with ACS Frozen ROM 1.0.1.

My wife would love to have a pink and grey one if possible. I flashed the purple for her but she doesn't like purple. She loves the pink that is used for the purple and she loves the grey that is used for bold blue. Is there any way to mod the colors for her? If you are busy and could tell me how to do it, I can give it a try.
[Epic 4G Apps] The Root:
Download froyo fusion and check the folders for mms.apk. Delete the old file on your wife's phone and then drop ther new mms.apk file into the system/app folder. Shut of then on and you should have a pink themed messenger. Not sure if it's transparent.
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
Awesome thank you very much for the help. I will do that.

Edit: Froyo fusion doesn't have an mms.apk in it. I tried to grab the mms.apk out of pretty in pink but it force closes. Maybe because it is not on gb?
[Epic 4G Apps] mike340t:
Is this possible on the Gingerbread MMS? I tried.. It works but don't look so pretty....
[Epic 4G Apps] markawashington:
Hey I read through a lot of this thread got tired.

Question is there a drop down notification transparent zip out there you made? i tried the transmmsnotification.zip guess that wasnt it ? or maybe it is and its not working for me?
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
Do you mean the whole notification bar? There are several themes that have made the notification bar mostly transparent. You may want to try black and blue glass theme. It is pretty slick and has a nice transparent notification bar.
[Epic 4G Apps] markawashington:
Just the notification bar no theme. I checked out the post thx.

[Epic 4G Apps] ThunderOKC:
Is it too late to put in a request? Something with Digital Red and Crystal Black, sort of like that?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13748666/snap20110313_165327.png

I like it like that, but with Digital Red outline for me or other person. Maybe the same for both me and other person ...or... Digital Red outline for one and as shown in picture for the other. I'd like space in between the bubbles. Total black background. White color font, including white date/time per message. Possible? Price for custom order?
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
I haven't seen theimpaler on recently. I too had a request for a modded mms but he hasn't been on or responded. What ROM are you running? Have you checked out any of the red themes? Some of them have modded red and black mms apks. May be worth looking in to. You also might want to ask a dev if they might be interested in helping you out.
[Epic 4G Apps] ThunderOKC:
Okay. So, if I find one in any other themes, and only use mms.apk, it won't hurt anything? I am using SFR1.2 EC05. So, I look for themes compatible with those. Hope I can find one.
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
Should work, you have to push it to system though. Check out either MattedReds or HoneyRed. The Matted Reds has the 6 lockscreen mod too.
[Epic 4G Apps] ThunderOKC:
MattedReds look interesting. I will try that one. Hope it work when installing. lol

Instead of whole theme, I can pick and choose which apk to install?
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
You can try extracting the zip, removing what you don't want and then zipping it again then flashing. I have gotten it work doing that before.

If it doesn't wrk that way, try downloading one of impalers mms mods, extracting, and then removing the mms.apk and putting in one of your choosing then flash the zip.

[Epic 4G Apps] ThunderOKC:
Well, I am using the MattedRed theme, which I love (and hope to be able to do some adjustment to XML files), and it also have mms theme. I forgot about testing it, so just now I clicked on a picture from Gallery to send and clicking on Recent. Same issues. The Recent is showing CALL HISTORY (inbound and outbound). I'm starting to think its not the mms.rpk issue or theme issue. I actually believe its SFR1.2, but I dunno what to do, because I don't want to make the developers angry at me. *sighs* I don't want to revert back to 1.1, because I've spent many hours with the 1.2 and MattedRed theme and other customizations to get it to where I like it.

So, since I believe its the SFR1.2 itself, just exactly where? Still within the mms.rpk pack? I dunno. What I do know is the Recent button (command) is directing to CALL HISTORY, which a simple fix to direct it to SMS HISTORY. Thoughts on that?
[Epic 4G Apps] imann:
I don't know, never really paid attention to the recent button.

[Epic 4G Apps] siirus09:
May be a stupid question but, when using this MMS app, as it is transparent will you see the apps you have on the screen in the background, or will the transparentness simply show your wallpaper?
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Your wallpaper will show.
[Epic 4G Apps] siirus09:
thank you, sir! :D
[Epic 4G Apps] theimpaler747:
Not a problem! Let me know if you need anything else!
[Epic 4G Apps] Systom:
I understand that clearly as it's stated, but I also did a search as everyone always says to do before posting or asking anything and I found another thread with someone claiming it works for EF02. I'm actually surprised no one else is requesting this for EF02--though I'm reporting it anyway just in case.

Nice work anyway to the OP and all involved.

[Epic 4G Apps] shane6374:
Are you decompiling the apk, then editing the bubbles with leaving the 1 pixel chunks on the edge solid, then recompiling with the edited images?

Thanks.. just flashed the first one, now its a battle on wether I should keep handcent or not, now that my stock messaging is IMPALED and *Fresh* ^_^
[Epic 4G Apps] shane6374:
You still have to recompile the image if you edit it at all.
[Epic 4G Apps] Shinydude100:
Theoretically, I'd say you can get away with not having to recompile, so as long that you keep the image names EXACTLY as they were on the original and follow the pixel rules.

truthfully im kinda nervous about xml, smali, de-re-compiling...

soooo that being said i guess im going to do sum "crunches" on the "total gym" aka dreams tutorial pages 2moro. Bc if i plan on joining ACS(which i do...) i will need this knowledge/power (with the help of Chuck Norris's new "total brain gym" only 5 easy payments of heart,sweat,&love...)

You can't change the image without having to recompile it plain and simple. This is about the easiest changes to make to a theme outside of the normal png images.

Seriously though, if someone would be willing to teach me how to port this, I'd def do it.... Anybody?
[Epic 4G Apps] greenmuggy:
are you rooted, do you have clockwork? if so its super easy to get these on your phone they are all flashable thru clockwork it should still work on gingerbread as long as you use some kinda root file explorer to delete your current messaging app called mms.apk(atleast thats what its called in froyo) & then you should be able to flash any one of these thru clockwork

Ya, I'm running EPICUREAN v7, I'm rooted, and have purple clockwork. But I heard these don't work for EG22 yet... Just wanna get the plain transparent MMS.

Hate to be such a bother, but I'm using Root Explorer to try and delete the original MMS.apk, but it says it's read-only and will not delete. Not sure why..... Any ideas? It's the apk under /system/app, so I'm pretty sure that's the right one, right?
[Epic 4G Apps] greenmuggy:
ive never used root explorer... i use super manager its free & does way way more you should check it out... but you dont necessarily need to use either of these theres an app in the market called root uninstaller & it can make backups, uninstall the old one & also it can install the new one as system app(click on the android guy with the magnifying glass) & press n hold on the app you wanna install(you can extract the mms.apk from the cwm flashable zip & put it wherever on your sd) & youll see the options & itll need a reboot to fully install app as system

No look at the dates these apps are so old. With the latest ICS roms they have a theme chooser engine so you could download a theme apk from the plat store and apply it.
