Hey,
I currently have geo's gingerbread on my nexus one, and I want the Mms.apk that's in CM7.
I mainly want to be able to switch to the black background and change the font size. I've looked online and found older mms.apk's but they would just force closed after being installed.
Can anyone help me here and point me in the right direction?
Download a cyanogen rom and extract it

I'm not sure, but I think this is what you are looking for (extracted from a CM rom)
I have extracted and pushed it, but it won't start and not even show in the app launcher. trying to search for it elsewhere.

I have been a keyboard junkie since i got my phone, hopping from one to another. Then i flashed my phone and found the glorious HTC_IME mod keyboard and have not turned away.
About 10 minutes ago i downloaded and installed one of the custom themes from gimpsters theme tool. I liked the color for a second because it fit with the theme of the phone, but i realized it was stressful to the eyes. I went and installed the Stock themed HTC_IME mod v27 just to get back to the basic keyboard, it turns out that now everytime i try to enter any text the keyboard FC's.
i not sure if im installing this right or if im installing a version not meant for my phone

You Have a non-HTC Device thats why.. you need to install another .apk called ClickerHi.apk.. find it here in the attached files..
AND REMEMBER TO TICK MY THANKS METER IF THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM!
BTW you need to keep both apks installed.. HTC_IME and Clicker_HI !!
I've actually installed both of those files prior to writing this post (i think twice to be sure) but no luck but thanks for the suggestion.
I just went back to the gimpsta theme site and created a keyboard theme that was a little more easy to look at. Weird thing about those themes is that they don't come with the clicker_hi.apk its just a zip file that has one apk inside it and for some reason they work and the officially released one FC's

I just flashed to Axura 2.2.7.1 a couple of days a go and it turns out that the HTC_IME was removed due tom constant FC's. I had experienced this issue prior to flashing so it was a glitch between my phone and the prior rom. I'll definitely give the 1.5 version a try and see if thet solves the issues.

Switched from cyans nightlies to MIUI for a bit and am trying to get my home screen looking the same..
Only problem I'm having is finding the CM nexus live wallpaper. I downloaded nexusmod from the market which is the same options but it doesn't work. Could someone pull the wallpaper from cyans rom for me? I tried finding the correct file but was unsuccessful - I'm not too sure where to look for the correct file and where to place it once I do find it.
Did you try using Nexuskang LWP? By default it should look exactly like the Cyanogenmod LWP.
EDIT: If that doesn't work and you still need it, I'm running CM7. I'll pull it for you & post it.
I'm looking for a deodexed JVB, extended menu and 5 locks screen. Without all the other theme mods.

Cezar has a ROM, Continuum v5 (here). maybe you could download it and extract what you are looking for. Or, just use the ROM
Because most themes IMO are ugly. I personally like the stock samsung with some small modifications. No one does that. I haven't found one rom from the developers that don't screw with the theme. Not everyone likes what you like. The best I can do is download something from the romkitchen with the stock theme and get smart little remarks when I try to ask for help.
http://www.dystopia-zero.net/xxjvb-stock.zip
There you go, dude. Completely stock except for xcal's kernel, 5 lock screen mod, built in ad blocking, overscroll effect and crt off. Also has launcher2, but it seems the icons in the app drawer are fuzzy, so if that bothers you, you might want to set touchjizz as the default launcher.
It also won't flash bootloaders, so you'll need to find the new 2.3 ones somewhere else. I recommend just flashing the stock jvb from samfirmware.com with xcal's kernel, then flashing this over it with CWM.
Maybe wait it out for Perception II? DG ROMs usually have a pretty stock feel to them.
MM do you know where I can find a tut on adding the extended menu and such. I'm interested in the dev part. Just hard finding anyone willing to help you get started.

The one I linked you to has the extended power menu. Doing it yourself is a bit involved.. you have to decompile the .dex/.odex executable with baksmali.jar and edit the code (.smali files), then recompile it with smali.jar and repackage the apk. I don't know if there are any actual tutorials that go in depth on the topic; at least I haven't seen any. It's really kind of a dive-in-and-do-it thing.
If you want to try adding common features like that to a bare rom though, there are a lot of precompiled versions floating around on xda where you just have to replace the .jar file in the proper directory. Just search for the feature you want and chances are pretty high that someone already made a standalone cwm flashable zip of it. Either that or you can try pulling it out of existing roms and popping it in to your own, provided they're based off of the same build of android.
You should check out MikeyMike's rom building tut. It's one of the stickied threads at the top of the general section. It goes over the basics pretty well.
thanks man. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This zip won't work with CWM 3
My Gingerbread ROM will have a very stock theme.

Oh, wacky.. thanks for telling me, I don't normally build roms for other people and I stick to CWM 2.5.

I am totally stumped here. I have spent the last 4 hours trying to modify stock Mms.apk to ONLY allow 160+ char split messages (but remain otherwise stock). There are other apk's available that fix the split, but they all combine other visual/theme mods... and I like the stock app just the way it is (other than the lack of split).
I don't know what I'm doing, obviously. Mostly I've tried modifying the mms_config.xml file, and the setting I have says it should be working... but it's not. :-( Any tips?
Just for test, I've set:
enableMultipartSMS true
maxMessageTextSize -1
smsToMmsTextThreshold 4
maxMessageSize 307200
(these appear to be the same settings used in the MIUI mms app that work properly there, but not for me!) :-(
Now I am able to send a message over 160char, and it DOES split it into multiple messages, however each message is still gibberish. Aggh... this is driving me crazy.
http://www.theslacker.org/~s3v3n/ns/ns4g/Mms.apk
This gives you the OPTION for visual themes, you can disable/enable the black background; gives a few other options.. but this is pretty much a stock APK to fix the splitting issue
I would try that out, but your post says Deodexed ROM is required, and I'm running Odexed.
Plus I still want to get to the bottom of how to modify the stock mms.apk. :-/
No ideas? Still stumped here.
Bump. Also want to know this.

Hey is this working for us any tricks etc If I change to 260 just gives me a blank screen? Using CM10.
Works on all ROM's but jelly bean at the moment, and I'm not sure why. Try editing the system file manually and see if it gives you the same problem. I'm running 240 DPI on all my ROM's because the screen looks much better to me that way, but when I flashed jelly bean and tried it didn't work for some reason.
With a quick google search I found the solution. The other apps are outdated. Use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marutian.dpichanger&feature=search_result I will flash CM10 now that I can change the DPI!! Don't worry about the foreign language preview, it runs in english.

Haha Bonus that worked!
By chance know how to recenter the lock screen mine is showing up as follows?
haha you ninja'd my edit. I'm glad it works! I'll try it soon. I'm having such good battery with CM9 I'm not sure if I want to switch yet
I'm getting awesome life with the cm10 don't think I'll go back to cm9:good:
Somebody edited the framework apk and got the lockscreen to be centered. However this was on the galaxy note, I don't know if it'll work on our phones. Flash at your own risk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30121522&postcount=546 Worst case scenario will be reflash the ROM, or restore to a backup.
Or you can download HOLO locker.. up to you.
