Hey everyone
I'm pretty happy right now using the leaked 2.2 froyo, with Touchwiz + Launcherpro + Beautiful Widgets, etc. However, one thing i really don't like is the bubble theme in messaging. Is there any way to change it to the vanilla Android messaging theme? (For some reason my friends' Epic 4G has it in that format instead of the Bubble theme, and she didn't change it.)
I don't really want to use a complete SMS replacement app since I didn't like Handcent much.
Thanks for any help!
You can just replace it with the vanilla (or a variant) Mms.apk.
Oh, thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that... anywhere I would be able to get that file easily? or just download a vanilla android ROM and extract it?
Download cognition Aosp , look in framework and steal the mms.apk .
Use root manager set to R/W
Remember to backup the orignial in system/app before you swap it. Not sure if you have to delete mms odex but hey, give it a try.
hmm okay thanks for the advice, i'll just run a nandroid backup and then start experiment. i expect the stock mms.apk will break the touchwiz puzzle piece screen, too bad.
So, I just traded my Fascinate for the Droid X and it's great! The one thing I would say I miss the most is the email app that I was using from the Galaxy Tab. It looked great and when you turned the phone to landscape it had the two pane email list on the left and preview on the right.
I know that it couldn't have been too hard to port from the Galaxy Tab to the Fascinate, but doing so with the DX is probably a different story. I tried putting the Tabs email apk in system/apps using Root Explorer, but that did nothing and that is about the extent of my dev skills. So I was hoping someone may want to give this a shot. The apk is attached below. Thanks and good luck!
I haven't tried it...but did you change the permissions of the apk to mimic the others in that system/apps?
It should look like
XX
X
X
I did, that is usually the first thing i try. After i replaced the DX email apk with the Tabs email apk and then changed the permissions, the email app was no longer in my app drawer.
Did you reboot your phone after you changed permissions?
I did reboot after changing permissions.
Guys, I was curious if someone has modified the Samsung Gallery3D.apk to allow it to work on other non Samsung phones? I briefly used a Samsung Fascinate and was loving the optimized Samsung gallery. Much faster than the stock Gallery3D and also had other nice optimizations like a share menu that does go off the top of your screen.
This guy posted the APK here from one leaked Samsung ROM. When I try to use it on my Droid X, for instance, I get errors about missing libraries in the logs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019667
Unsure if this is even possible..
The missing libraries, do they refer to touchwiz? If so, you'll probably need to install all those apk's too - lot of bloat. Perhaps you could use ApkTool by Brut4All to decompile the 3dGallery and the touchwiz files, and merge the appropriate files into 3dgallerys apk?
Can you show the error messages?
Can someone port multiwindow options to our new precius JB P6200?

for the galaxy s2 there is a multi window mod. Maybe we coud install it also on our tab 7+. because it has the same exynos chip.
i could´t test this because for my wifi only tab 7+ is no jelly bean yet.
but if it does not fuction maybe a dev can port it also to the tab 7+.

+1 for this. Although apps like Overskreen, Floating Browser and etc exists, it would be great if it was integrated to one app(MultiWindow).

Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives?
Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives that people/Devs are preferring?
I like the Multiwindow function on my S3, and would really like to see it or something similar on a Galaxy 7" tablet. I want to use it to run a GPS routing App & a Music App at the same time, while running WaveControl in the background. It works great on the S3, but I feel that ~half the screen is too small to be used well for GPS. So, I have had a GT+ for a while, but sold it until I can find which of the two (GT+ or GT2) will get MultiWindow or similar.
I have seen the Overskreen, but that's Browser only. I've seen the floating Apps, but that seems to be specific Apps, and part of the main App gets covered up by the floater. So neither seems to be able to replace Multiwindow, unless there's a way to make any App a floating App.
Any thoughts/ideas?

All your options are really not going to happen, but one day, in the future, after we get full stable releases for more models of the 7+, someone will port over the multi-window stuff that is form the Note 2 / S4 that is in custom ROMs for the S3. Lets get stable stock ROMs for all the G+ models first
.Android currently is not built to handle floating window, its a real hack just to get a browser to float.

Alright, sounds good. I'm hoping that we do get multi-window when the stock ROMs are fully fleshed out. I was also trying to gauge what ROM developers were going for, whether Multi-Window or Floating Apps were more relevant to them. Supposedly there was one ROM that had Beta multi-window, but the developer seems to have dropped that in favor of the floating option. I just don't see it as a viable replacement, at least not yet.
Apart from my 7 plus tab I own a Samsung galaxy grand that has 1 gb of ram and a 1.2 ghz double core processor (like our 7 plus), and it has multi windows option out of the box (jb 4.1.2), which means that it's doable for our tab. It's a matter of editing the main flashbar.apk, and some framework files.
Easier said than done, yes, I know...:silly:
I just pulled the main flashbar apk and the multi windows related frameworks and permissions from my galaxy grand and pushed them into my tab (p6210 running pa 3.15).
I rebooted, the apk installed, and I saw on my task manager that it was on, good sign.
But (there is always a but) I had nothing to trigger it. On the galaxy grand there is a multi windows icon next to the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc icons on the status bar, but obviously no such icon on the tab.
To get one such icon one needs to edit some jars in the framework folder, and maybe the system ui apk as well. I could do it if I had plenty of time (because I'm still relatively new to those things) but unfortunately I don't have much time in the moment.
If anyone wants to do it just tell me and I'll upload the files here...

Thanks for trying! By the way, the ported multiview on my Sprint Galaxy SIII is activated by holding down the back button. Could you try that? I don't know if it will work since on the S3 it is basically a hardware button, but just in case.
I tried, without much hope because I'm on pa 3.15 and as you may know the multi windows app works only with the TW framework (pa doesn't use TW ui). And guess what, it didn't work. I tried as well to trigger the app with smart taskbar, multi windows manager and a couple of other apps but nope, no fun...
I had a closer look at my galaxy grand and in some drawable folders I found the multi windows icons and triggers. One would need to add these files to the G plus systemui.apk and framework.apk, and add/remove some lines to some jars and stuff.
It's doable and I probably could do it, but I won't, for the sole reason that I own a p6210 and that jb hasn't been released for that model yet, sorry...
If you know how to decompile/recompile then try this, it works on the S2 and it may work on the G plus:

But don't forget to do a nandroid back up before, in case something gets messed up...
Maybe this is working on our tab

Is sombody able to do this and give a report?
Edit: Sorry i overlooked the last post. :/

I just wanted to let anybody who may not already be aware that i have managed to successfully get multi window working on both the P6200 & P6210. I will link to my original hread below for those of u who are interested....there are a few minor issues but otherwise the mod is fully functional on the Tab Plus

Its not a full rom just a flashable mod but u do have to be on a DEODEXED version...it is completely safe just makes it easier to change theme & mod but as always please read the instructions carefully and be sure to backup your device before flashing. Since I'm assuming u own a P6200 then u will need the original MC3 firmware as well as chrisrotolo's deodexed MC3 zip installed before u flash the multi window mod. Yes, tethering works & the phone function does too BUT u may have to download another dialer from the play store(i'm using ex dialer & contacts) if the samsung phone app wont open
