Sky Ics contact colors? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Running SkyIcs since Base4 update 8. One thing that has carried throng all updates till the current 13ish is that on contacts / recent calls tab, clicking on the contact image opens up a quickview list of available numbers. These are black on black and hard to read, would be great if this could be fixed or back to stock colors. On the same note the rendering of the 'phone' icon when any contact is opened looks out of place (white box with a central black strip and a blue phone icon).
Is there any easy way to change the contact icons or colors back to stock?
Please see the link below for pics. Had been asked in q&a but no clear directions for the fix.

Wish I could help, but I'm having the same problem.

From what I can tell it's related to the phone.apk (dialer), when I flashed the KOBALT theme the issue went away as the contacts and phone are themed with a transparent background. I didn't like the dialer as it didn't have the contacts tab in it as with Seanz's rom, so I over wrote the apk's to get back to the dialer and the problem returned.

Wish I had the know how to did into the dialer and stuff.. guess we need to wait till the dialer is fixed in the stock ROM. My understanding is that the same issue exists on the stock.. many folks have tried flashing multiple ROMs hoping to fix this but all ROMs based on the latest leak had this issue. Wonder if anything can be ported from the T Mobile S2 Ics from today.

Have Contacts Show While Dialing?

Does anyone know if the Phone.apk/Contacts.apk can be changed to work how older versions of the Dialer worked, where as you dialed, contacts would show on the screen, so you could quickly find the contact. In the newer versions of Froyo/GB, it looks like it only allows you to dial the number but contacts don't show up.
Try using Go Contacts/Go Dialer. When you dial it shows the contacts as you dial like the old version of the dialer used to do
You could also try TouchPal or Dialer One, both will suit your purpose.
I really want this too. Seems insane to remove from the stock dialer.
It would be a great feature to see incorporated into new roms.

That was never the stock dialer.
For instance on galaxy s devices its part of touchwiz

It was stock on my Nexus One... it showed whatever the default contact pic was for both incoming and outgoing calls. On G2x stock dialer I just have the Bugdroid.

Request: Old ICS apps for official ICS!!

Hi,
I hate the look of some of the official ICS apps..can someone help to port the 'old' ICS apps so that they can work on this? For example:
1. Messages (it was white and clean and beautiful, now ugly)
2. Dialer (i enjoyed swiping panes, and the dpi scaled right...now at 280 dpi it's distorted)
3. Calendar (the app was beautiful and ESPECIALLY the widget..lovely)
Nobody shares my sentiment??

Edit: Temporary solution found! I'm now using the market messaging app, with SMS POPUP as my notification source, and the screen turns on for the popup! Better than nothing, though I would much prefer the stock way of turning the lockscreen on and have the message in the status/notification bar. Thanks for your help all.
Just to reiterate: problem with the market ICS messaging app (otherwise perfect) is that when message is received screen doesn't turn on. Notification arrives normally and I get the ping, but I have manually turn screen on to see it. Tried making it system app but didn't help. Any other ideas appreciated, thanks!

[Q] ICS ULCE2 dialer w/o visual voice mail button

I have done some searching and haven't found any results so thought I would put it to the masses...
I am looking for a stock theme dialer without the visual voice mail button as I don't have that service.
I was able to find one when running MHX GB superlite 3.1 that only required to be flashed in cwm but haven't been able to find one for the ULCE2 leak.
If anyone has come across one or is able to modify the current dialer let me know
I have included a screenshot of what I am hoping to find.
Thanks in advance.

ics aosp mms.apk

Hey guys, i've looked everywhere on here and rootzwiki for the ics aosp mms.apk.
Its the white version, not the inverted one. Im running leedroid 2.1.0 and I found another white version off of another website but after installing it, it won't send mms like the inverted one.
I had the regular white version before and it sent mms, but had to wipe my phone recently and lost the file.
if anyone has it and it sends mms, please upload it. thanks!
White aosp mms.apk from CM9 yesterdays build

It sends mms on cm9... idk about a sense rom.... u should be fine
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
haha well, i still cant send mms. idk why. Last time I just installed the white one and it worked fine without having to tweak the apn or anything.
when i try to send mms, it lets me set it up but when i hit send, it vanishes

What about when u hit back cap key after hitting send... does it show up then? Or is it like how the inverted mms is? It must be a compatibility issue with sense... idk
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
its acting just like the inverted mms. The message vanishes as soon as i tap the send key.
this is sooooo strange!

AOSP messaging app needs to be edited to send mms on Sense ROMs. I'm not sure what the trick is, but you can try one of these apps from Google Play..

so im a dummy haha, i installed the mms from cm9 and then i went to systems/apps and cleare the data and it works! I tried it with the black inverted version and it works too! I can send mms with both!
The only weird thing is that on the white version, the keyboard has a smiley button and I can install a modded ics keyboard that has a noseless smiley (smileys without the nose) but in the inverted version, the smiley button is an enter button and I cannot change it regardless of installing the noseless smiley button or not.
but its not a big deal, I can send pictures!

Where are you finding the inverted one?
Sent from my H1S using XDA Premium.
The inverted one is in thread called tweak machine in themes and apps section, it has all inverted AOSP apps.
Will try the ones linked to on market, the AOSP MMS app, inverted or not is my biggest headache by far on the One S. Send or recieve pics doesn't ever work on CM9, doesn't work on leedroid, modaco... gets stuck on "sending" for me, haven't seen that the message disappears since on a sense ROM I believe.
I got it, thank you!

Your idea to go into manage apps and clear data works perfectly! I'm now running AOSP inverted MMS on completely stock 1.84 rooted and it sends pictures no problem. Thank you.

Top one has ads, bottom one is claimed by the author probably not to work with MMS's, seems many ppl just don't use MMS (as opposed to SMS which works very well in AOSP app) Maybe that explains why so many ppl claim that AOSP MMS works for them. Are we the only guys here with a girlfriend with a medieval phone who needs MMS functionality?

Open your app manager and select the "all" tab, scroll to mms.apk and select it, then tap "clear data". Reopen your mms app and send photos. It's that easy.

Yeah sadly this doesn't work for me, might be a solution to get it working on Sense ROMs though. What is the version of the app you're running?

gave this a whirl and adb pushed the Mms.apk from aokp milestone 6 to /system/app/Messaging+CRC_1.apk (i think thats what its called in sense for some reason haha) then went and wiped data and the emoji support is working in leedroid
Got MMS working on CM9 20120716, dunno if it was new upstream CM changes or that I changed APN settings to match what was in an old screenshot I finally found from stock HTC rom, but it works fine with AOSP app as well as the inverted 4.0.4-eng-travp264.20120602.222408 from tweak machine 1306. Attached screenshot with APN settings for Three (3)Sweden if anyone needs... Only one APN, not two as default in CM9.

Stock Email App - Reply/Forward/Delete buttons super faded, barely visible.

Hey guys,
has anyone of you seen this before? Stock email app, the reply, delete, forward buttons on the bottom of email work fine but I can barely see them, they are super faded to the point I need to put the phone 5 inches from my face to see what's what. Any ideas?
