The new Conversations.apk from the Xperia Play dump works on my X10. It has a new notifier that shows you how many text messages come through, in a nice orange bubble, in the dockbar at the bottom, and in the app tray. The bubbles with the text in also change colour, depending on the theme. it works with the theme manager here . You can also search through text messages, and delete several of them in the menu. However, there are a few bugs, the attachments button doesnt show, and there is a streched icon by the day of the week, and the dates also come out wrong. hopefully, this will get fixed. I have attached some screenies, and the .apk .
I am currently using Wolfs v6 Rom. I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278122 - the all in one 2.3.4 ports collected together- and i also flashed the theme manager which works with timescape. I then installed the Conversations.apk normally in Explorer, and it worked.
Hope this helps!
erm...where is the apk?
It would be great if you could attach Conversations.apk so we don't need to download the whole dump
just uploaded it now, had to find it again, i lost it:3
I think its. for msgs
Didn't work for me... I have no Messaging now at all
maybe this one works from ARC LT18i_2.3.4_Build_4.0.1.A.0.266_Global
Edit: Nope, this one from ARC not working either.
Did you install Theme manager from that link you gave us?
I see that there is Xperia_Play_Launcher.apk
maybe we have to have this?

Have you tried flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278122 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17917386&postcount=1 . Before i did this, it wouldnt install properly.. But now that i flashed them , it works..
themes are working...!!!!
but still needs some work with send button and divider.....
SemcEmail.apk with the new notification in icon also works fine
i already have fb timescape launcher, can we have a minimal zip for conversation.apk working ?
Can only send messages through the contacts application, not directly through the messaging app because for some reason it won't add a recipient.
Haven't seen any bugs other than the ones already reported. I'm using wolf's 6.0

Do anybody know of a better mms app other than the stock and handcent. I'm running DC.3.2.3 Rom the problem is that the stock mms compress the picture way to small. Handcent takes too long to send out the pictures as if it donot want to send. Gmail works perfect just cannot sent to a phone number.
Any suggesting
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You can always try ChompSMS it's quite popular and very similar to Handcent.
This is the issue that really bugged me, I hated that the stock app couldn't send a file bigger than 14k and didn't like using chomp or handcent. If you are still looking for a more elegant solution, I might have a possible solution. I replaced the mms.apk file in the ROM I was about to flash with the vanilla one (attached) and after booting up it worked perfectly. I like the black background and when I attach a picture it doesn't compress it to crap. I just opened the zip file of the ROM with winrar and deleted the old mms.apk in the sys app folder and dropped the new one in its place. I realize this solution is less than ideal, and there is probably a better way with adb, but I figure soon enough you'll flash an updated ROM anyways.
Try pure messenger, almost like the sense one, almost.

@Nerovingian
Thank you! That was the exact thing I was searching for awhile ago, but people were pointing me towards handcent and chomp (which were overkill for what I wanted). I was looking for white on black background mms app. I don't like the stock because just about everything else in the evo is a dark theme. The mms was obnoxious black on white and was blinding if the lights were out where I was. I hope your app is kosher and will behave itself (if you know what I mean)....
I understand what you mean. If you have any doubt, there is am excellent post in the Android development forum that has all of the vanilla apks. Just search for vanilla topics and you should be golden.
Thanks for the tip
I was always under the impression that the apps compress in order to comply with file size limits per different carriers. Am I mistaken?

what did i do wrong? I'm running fresh 1.0.1 with amon recovery.
@supwidachew
It worked for me. I went where the original was and renamed it to mms.apk.old. Then I went to the other mms.apk and installed it. No copying. It had some message about replacing something and I just said ok. In the settings of the app, white text on black was checked but not working. I unchecked it then got out of menu and killed the app with a task manager. Started app again and went into settings and checked the box then backed out again. I think I might have done this maybe three or four times before it finally took. I haven't tried sending anything yet so I don't know what's different with that yet.

I have same rom as you but clockworkmod recovery. I didn't flash it, I installed it like any other apk downloaded (not from market )
Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
So this is indeed better than the HTC Messaging app? It doesn't compress pictures horribly? and it still works? Does the sense widget with numbered notifications still work? Does the lock screen message preview still work? Does the status bar message preview still work? Thanks.
ahhh, ok. Let me install it and see how that works.
Allow me to elaborate on my process. I replaced the apk in the ROM file using winrar before I flashed the ROM (see picture to see where I replaced the file) using clockwork recovery, so I haven't tried to install it like a normal apk or through any other method. Since it is the vanilla apk it does not do the lock screen notification where sense shows it, although it does show in the notification bar while locked. Additionally, it does not compress the pictures horribly and I have tested sending and receiving, both which worked. I have only tested my method on Baked Snack 9.7, so I apologize if it does not work on your preferred ROM. Perhaps someone more experienced can offer a better method like using adb?

I'll try tomorrow and let you know. Nandroid is my friend.
If the icon you have on the home screen is the one that was dragged from the app drawer, the answer is no. At least in my setup it wasn't and not an option in settings either. There wasn't a mms widget either
Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
I tried sending a 44kb sound file with the vanilla mms app. It refused to push it out. I tried installing handcent and chomp and try each of them and they both failed. I found where the mms app installed itself and deleted it. Then I renamed the old "mms.apk.old" to mms.apk,rebooted, then the file sent okay. Damn, I was kinda liking the other app too. Hmm, I wonder if I can have both the vanilla and the htc messaging apps installed.... I'm gonna try it now.

Nope, they want to over write each other. I gotta choose...

This does not have numbered notifications on the widget like sense. It has a notification icon in the task bar, it does not do task bar preview like sense. As far as lock screen I dont know.
BLACK BACKGROUND with WHITE TEXT ----- EASY TO READ ----- Download now !!!!!
Guys,
I downloaded a BLACK themed Gmail App from a website. After installing it, i found that the emails are a little bit harder to read as the characters were in Grey colour on Black. So i Modded the characters to WHITE, which is easily readable.
I have tested it on my Sensation. Working fine. The file is attached.

Wanted to report a couple of issues i ran into:
1) When viewing certain emails (like facebook notifications to be exact), the font color wasn't changed properly, so it was white text with a white background, and therefore, unreadable. But other messages were fine.
2) when i rebooted, the normal themed gmail came back? Really weird, why would that happen?

For the Point #2. It happened with me as well. As i said, i did not develop it, i just changed the grey coloured text to white, which makes it easy to read, so i am not sure what really the problem is because it reverts to basic gmail app.
But there is a solution, whatever ROM you are flashing, just replace the original Gmail.apk with this Black Gmail app(Remember to rename this blackgmail app to Gmail.apk"), and flash the ROM, You wont face this problem anymore.
Well one of the things I hate most is the ugly white in the MMS.apk..Of all the silly options like weather in pulldown etc thats included in CM9/AOKP I was hoping we could at least get a black background option but I guess its more important to see what temp it is outside or to toggle your swagger on/off.
So if you're tired of the ugly white MMS.apk thats clearly neglected then I have the mod for you. This is a transparent modded MMS.apk that is build off travp624's new Mms.apk which combines the best of cm9 and AOKP.
I hope you enjoy this..Just flash the zip in recovery or manually push the apk.
Thanks Section
killabyte at Rootzwiki for his guide because without it I wouldn't have been able to do it.
travp624 at rootzwiki for his new MMS base to use..He did a great job of combinging the best options of cm9 and AOKP.

Sweet! You are the man.
Unfortunately, I'm on a Skyrocket and the most recent AOKP build at the moment is b37. Figured I would try it anyways and neither pushing it manually or flashing the zip would work. I'm guessing there will be an update for my ROM here very shortly and I will try again.
btw, do you happen to know why it is that no one seems to be able to make the dialer or contacts transparent on CM9/AOKP? I've been trying to figure out how do to this for awhile and it seems like the only mention of this that I come across is in your Mixer ICS thread about how it's not possible yet. Do you happen to know what the issue is by any chance?
Okay, I'm on a b38 build of AOKP and this app is still refusing to install. Any ideas why that might be?
This is the ROM I'm currently on:

It is now an option in the settings menu for the app in CM9. It's under "soft keyboard type."
I made an hdpi version of this based on the new CM9 Mms.apk but I'll wait until MrDSL gives the okay to post it or let him post it.

Great Work !
Maybe possible some variants like 20% transparent only or stock line partitions instead of bubbles but in subtle dark form (grey-blue ics style) ...
Would love to have those ... even if it means donating
Another edit I recommend is to move the bubble arrow (pointing to the avatar) from bottom to top ... reason being for large messages or bubbles the arrow move down (away from avatar) and doesnt really give that feel ... if on top, they will always point to the avatar irrespective of message size !!
thanks MrDSL for this messaging transparent. i have been use your mixer theme too, downloaded it from playstore... nice theme also.! :good:

This is a mini theme I guess. It is a port of the sensation rom systemui.apk and the battery charge anim works just like the original
It is only the systemui, criskelo-res and quicksettings apks and it is 6 toggles on screen because I don't think the 8 toggles suits.
Suits best with a blue or stock framework.
It is not fantastic and may need some touch ups but is at a point I am happy with and ok for now
Attached is two versions one with carrier text and one without (for now unless I can get it to look normal with the carrier text)
the pictures show the difference.
This is working on 4.0.4 LRK Classic rom but should work on other 4.0.4 roms too but the usual make a backup and flash at own risk
Both are cwm flashable

Unfortunately I have not been able to get a carrier name on the no carrier version and be fully happy with it and with getting the lock, recent etc icons onto the carrier version, I can not get anything that is stable enough for daily use, so going to stay as is for now sorry.
Disregard the green text and date in the screenshot as that is from my framework-res. If you stock or blue framework-res the text colours will remain the same.

- No carrier version - 3G, H and H+ are perfectly located, but Carrier version icons are misplaced
- No carrier version - Clear is really tiny
Looking good mate, nice work.
However I've tried both of your nocarrier zips and single click in the search icon does nothing. I'm on classic rom v3. Anyway we can fix this?
Also if its possible to make the 'clear' text just a bit larger so it would center perfectly in the button.
Thanks.
ahh it looks nice..gonna try this

Hi, are you using the no carrier version? If so does your search button work on single click? Thanks.
working on getting the lock etc buttons on the systemui with carrier text so there will be just one version which has both things. Just having some stability issues with it hoping to niggle out so can use it.
I have fixed the data icons on the carrier version (sorry I mustn't of edited all the images needed my bad) will upload the fixed version later when get a chance.
As with the search button I have noticed before the theme it didn't open anything but I have just themed criskelo's systemui.apk so if anyone is using criskelo rom can they see if it works for them, as far as I understand in the code it is pointing to a search application to open but I am not sure if it is executing the command or just doesn't have the required search app installed. I will try and play around but can't gaurentee I will be able to fix that issue as it is there from the unthemed version (for me anyway), may have to remove the icon if can't sort anything out.
One more suggestion, the Wi-Fi logo look very low res, can you improve in that too? thanks

Hi friend, just thought I'd mozzy on in here real quick. Just so you know, it does not matter the name of the apk. As long as the extension of the file is correct (.apk) it should work. The reason why is when Android looks at the apk's, it does not care the name of the file, it only cares what the package name says in the Androidmanifest.xml that is INSIDE of the apk.
wildstang83, Thanks for the info. Everything work fine except for this clock thing. I have wipe/flash and even format SD card then re-flash the slimbean 2.8 and it still not working. I imagine this problem is isolate otherwise I would see it pop up in slimbean thread already. I cant post there yet because of the post count limit.
