Is there a way to remove or at least block the android smileys in the default messaging app? I want to use it, but those little androids are pretty ugly to say the least. Thanks!

They look absolutely retarded. So funny I actually installed them on my GB setup.

I want to know it too. The Smilies look awful...
i know it's personal taste but i can't see what the big deal is with these things. i personally think this is the first time they look alright.
Of course, some people may like them and others may not. I personally don't even understand what some of them mean, so a simple sign like would be a lot better.
Still waiting for someone who knows how to change them

I would also like to know .. but i guess it doesnt bother me too much.
I love Android, but those stock ICS smileys creep me out. I'd like to know how to replace them with something normal.
U have to modify them in the framework
Which apps are you guys complaining about and for which roms?

creepy
They don't bother me, but the only way I see to remove them is with root access, deleting some files at the message app directory.

Can you do the theme from phoenix rom for heinz 57 (with 2fast's permission of course). It looks so awesome but i just cant seem to stay stable on phoenix for the life of me.
What issue is it that you can't get stable with? As gas's rom was built from the same thing mine is. Along with the fact he has even went to putting some of the same stuff in it.
The only issue as of right now is swype which I know what it is. I just have to get that far.

Oh no, I understand, but see, If you had the no how to change the stock colors then you wouldn't need to ask. See everything is available via search. But instead you just posted and asked. Notice how no one else posted to help you? Its not easy to theme. There is a lot of research and sweat and blood.
Since you were trying to take the easy way to begin with, I figured I'd give it to you super easy...Install GO SMS. Its easy. You like easy. Win.

Tweaked, you can't help those who are too lazy to help themselves. Sorry man, sometimes these things are a lost cause.
Allow me to help you help yourself while always helping everyone here at XDA. Search for APKtool and/or APKmanager. No one is going to explain any further how to theme since there are more then enough threads/sites/information out there already. Eventually you'll either learn it or just live with the colors..I would always say turn to GO SMS but I can see you have taken a distaste for doing things the easy way. Well here's the hard way my friend. Enjoy

You first need to decompile the apk. With apktool then inside the drawable hdpi folder is your images. Change them as you want. As far as changing the text , that can get difficult. Some of the RGB values might be In styles xml and colors xml. It's been a long time since I did it but I think some text values get pulled from com.HTC.resources. as well. Just play with it till you figure it out. It's the best way to learn. Once you get it how you want recompile ,sign and push to your phone to check it out.

Ok here is what you do. Get the android SDK, Java, JDE and JRE. Install all of them with admin rights. Then Get Apktool. Decompile the apk, then look through over 500 lines of XML coding and changing the color codes one by one, recompiling after each change and flashing to test until you find the changes you need.
If that confuses you then Use another sms app as advised. Go sms beats the stock hands down.

Alright, I know app editing and repackaging isn't one of the quickest or easiest (especially with a whole graphical overhaul) process, but I was wondering if someone, if either bored, or looking for something to do, could make an ICS themed Spotify app. The current one really looks horrible in my opinion and id rather have the cool blues over the nasty green. Just a though. I wanted to attempt this myself, but I honestly suck at editing graphics. Idk. Let's see some ideas! I know there would be at least a few other people that would love this.

Hi guys,
I love MIUI, specifically the text messaging interface(with the drop downs, etc), and the way it looks.
However, it runs like ****.
Zeus, however, runs amazing on my phone and I frequently get over a day of battery life and almost NO slowdown when using wificalling and games(drawsomething).
Is it possible to maybe combine the two roms to get the MIUI text messaging interface on zeusrom?
Is this something easily doable?
Thanks for your input!

yes..but you need two Infuses.
1 running miui and the other running zeus.
then place the phones on the transporter platform of the Enterprise.
then beam them together into 1 phone.
the only drawback is the new phone has 2x the mass of each single infuse.

No its not... due to cm7 and miui have a completely different framework(no tw)and interface. There system apps require their fw to run.. it would take heavy modifications to make this work, and that's not saying it would be completely functional.

Sorry rasufe. Not currently possible. And neither of us are gifted enough to bring these two together.
Dman will have to take the miui base and inject his specialty into it. Last i heard, he doesn't run miui.
Thanks guys,
I thought that I could just edit some paths in some files and replace the .apks etc etc
I have no idea what im talking about but it seemed like a good idea at the time !

That's probably going to be your best free solution. Has quick reply and a ton of theming. Another choice might be handcent, tho I don't remember being impressed with it on my Droid X.
Sorry if I sound like a jerk, I just see a TON of people not use the search option on here at all or even the market.

You may be unfamiliar with Android but usually there is an app in the Play Store that can do whatever you want whereas in iOS that may not always be the case. Need a new gallery app? Search the Play Store. Need a file manager? Search the Play Store. Need a calendar app? Search the Play Store. You should get my point now.

Handcent is the best hands down IMHO
I would agree with Handcent unless you use group messaging, then your going to want GoSMS. I wish SOMEONE would release a non bloated app with group messaging that does not suck
I guess I should have given more details to my question, yes thanks for the replies and no I dont need to be spoon fed lol I have used all of those sms apps but I was wondering if anyone knew of a a custom mms app like the stock one that had quick reply built in.

CM10 is pretty good, I'd still be running it now but I was having issues with battery life. I'd lose about 15-17% or so overnight with my phone in deep sleep. I'm on AOKP now and stop far it's better on my batt with the majority of the same features, more even. It does have the sms mod too.
Paranoid Android has the same features too, as do the majority of AOSP roms. I personally like PA and Liquid Smooth, and on my phone PA is the more stable of the 2. I for some reason just didn't like CM10, even though that's what PA and Liquid are based off of..... anyway, the jist of it is you ought to just test em all out, cause what's stable for one person may be extremely unstable for another.

Turns or I was wrong, AOKP doesn't have the popup, but neither does this one. It did give me an idea to which seemed to work for me. I just extracted the mms.apk file from a CM10 nightly and installed it.
I'll Dropbox it in a minute since Tapatalk doesn't let you attach anything except pictures.
Use a root browser and find system/apps/mms.apk (or secmms.apk if you're on TW) and rename it with a .bak on the end. Put the new file in the same place and make sure it's got the she permissions. Reboot and you should be golden.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You will re-name it to whatever was originally in that folder. I believe all AOSP ROMs it is called Mms.apk and Touchwiz is SecMms.apk.
Far as the permissions, which it sounds like what might be causing your problem, depending on the root browser you are using(I use the one in ROM Toolbox) the format of the permissions you will want it to have are either "rw-r--r--" or "read" for 'Owner', 'Group' and 'Others' then "write" for 'Owner' only and "execute" for none. Or the final format would be 0644
Those are the three different ways that permissions are displayed.
---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------
I was just thinking, if the whole permissions thing is still confusing after my last post there, I might have thought of something that will do it for you fairly simply.
Replace the apk file as mentioned. Reboot. Then reboot again, into recovery tho. Then go to advanced and click on fix permissions.
A) Not sure 100% if this will work, B) the two reboots may be unnecessary, you may be able to replace and reboot directly into recovery and have it work.
Thanks man ill give it a shot.

Sounds like paranoid should have it.
What ROM are you trying this on? What file browser are you using? And what steps exactly are you taking that's giving you the errors?
I am using cleanrom 3.0 and esfile as my file manager. I first add. Bak to the original SecMms.apk. Apk and then add the file you gave me and renamed it to SecMms.apk and reboot, the permissions are the same as my original message app. Once the phone boots back up it will get to the loading conversations screen then it tells me that is has stopped working or something like that I am lost and thanks for the help.
