Hi everyone, this is the first time that I will be posting here in xDA, and yes I admit it that I'm still a noobie. I just want to ask if is it possible to convert my STOCK MESSENGER to a GO SMS Pro Theme?? Basically I have here my Xperia SL, and what I did is that,
--> I purchased a GO SMS Pro Xperia Z theme at Google Playstore
--> I used a Root Explorer and extract all of the contents of my Stock Message app which is "Conversation.apk" through /system/app/Conversation.apk
--> I used Root Explorer to extract the .apk of "Go SMS Pro Xperia Z theme" app through /data/app/com.jb.gosms.pctheme.metroxperia-1.apk
--> and I deleted the folder "res" of this Go SMS Pro Xperia Z theme using Winrar and replaced it with the "res" folder from the contents of the extracted .apk "Conversation.apk" (which is the stock Messenger app of Xperia SL)
--> And when I installed them, it failed.
I know this is such a hilarious idea, but is it possible? It's because I like how crispy the interface of the Stock Messenger of Xperia SL. But I like it to be also in Go SMS Pro because you have control over the LED light in GO SMS Pro when you are receiving SMS messages, not like the Stock Messenger which also has LED light notification but you have no control over it. I tried to use 3rd party apps of LED light control from Google Playstore, but they're just crap. XDA Gurus, Masters, Experts, Scientists, Weird, Grand Masters or Rabbi, please help me
First. Put your phone down before you brick yourself permanently. Graphic files can not be changed out like that. You have to decompile the apk and then change the images out with like images and then recompile. As this is a paid theme you will break the sig for it and it wont install anyway. Best bet is to learn to properly make your own theme. Or even better ditch go sms all together.

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.
I installed Khal's MIUI ROM successfully. But there is no Desk Clock on the Home Launcher pages. I used the "search" button on my phone and type "clock" so I can found it and use it.
But is there any method to make a icon on the Home Screen for quick use later. Please help me. Thank you.
Is there any solutions. If you don't know just let me know, or you guys look down on me.......
You can use MIUI clock widget and just click on it to launch the clock app. Alternatively you can use a different launcher.
You can try going into manage applications & clearing the cache and/or data on Launcher2
im pretty sure the clock app is in the tools folder on the home screen. my phones at motorola getting fixed so i cant look right now.
@CrystalShield no one looks down on anyone here. well at least they shouldnt. we have all had problems and it never hurts to ask. thats why we all come here, for community support
@easye420: I am sure that when I install the ROM of Khal of MIUI in this link. There is no app call "DeskClock" on home screen. I can list them here.
Page1: Gallery, Camera, music, Settings, Root Explorer (it's mine) , [Chinese something] and Theme manager.
Page2: Some Google Apps, facebook, memory, overclock, fast boot, twitter, and FM Radio.
page3: Wireless tether, Voice Search, News and weather and some of my apps (because everyone know our apps will stay at the end the these)
But I also use the "deckclock.apk" in /system/app to run the Clock. But i want it stay on my screen. I try use Shortcut, but when I click the shortcut, it "open App Manager" (like when we try to Run a APK file in ASTRO) and I also need to click on "launch" to run the app. It isn't what we want when we try to make a shortcut for an application, is it?
@3rdstring: I did, but it restore to original (still don't have it on Home).
Is there any solution for me.
By the way, Thanks all you guys very much. English is not my first language, if there is something impolite or immodest in my words. I'm sorry.................
And I am also newbie of this forum, so I don't have enough 10 posts to post and ask in the Development Box. That why I disturb you guys here. Sorry about that.
Reinstalling the app works. I just move the apk out from /system/app and install it as if it's another use app.
I have the same problem. Copying and installing doesn't work as the app has 0 bytes (!) and I always get the parsing error-obviously
If someone could upload the original with its proper size that'll be lovely.
Thanks.

I removed the DeskClock.apk from /system/app. But when I use the "search" button and type "clock". It's still there (and of course it still can be used). I have no idea about where the real app is.
It's really weird for me.(of course because I don't have enough knowledge)
This is what i do to get deskclock app to show on the screen.
1)Using root explorer copy the deskclock.apk from system/app to sdcard.
2)Using root explorer again delete deskclock.apk from system/app and in data/dalvik-cache look for [email protected]@[email protected] and delete it.
3)Restart ur phone.
4)install the deskclock.apk from sdcard and the app should appear on your screen.
Use launcher pro. Its faster, sexier and will show all your applications!

+1 to this. Of course the stock miui SMS app is great if there is a rom available for your phone. I love it.

I have tried Go SMS too, but the flood of colors, blingage isnt what I want...but I do like the folder structure it has. All I am looking for is an sms app that displays sms msgs in folders and I can move a message from Inbox to a Save folder. Also if I can see msgs I deleted in a Delete folder, giving me an oportunity to move any to a different folder, respond or simply clear the delete folder.......
Hi all,
I need an MMS.apk for my G3 which has the following features.
1. With an option to "Select All" when sending messages to a group rather than manually selecting all members in that group.
2. Sent time shown instead of received time even if the mobile was switched off.
3. Option to send scheduled sms
4. Scroll bar to move up to the start/desired place faster in a thread.
try go sms pro
it even has themes and its fluid.
also it has many more option to play with

I agree, I am also using GO SMS Pro now.
My idea is to minimize memory usage as much as possible by installing an extra application for the same use.
I use Kisadworx custom rom now. I can un-install MMS.apk and use GO SMS as default one however if we do factory settings the phone hangs.
Hence I asked for a modded MMS.apk so I do not need to install and play with other applications.
well there are many apps as such
u can also try chompsms
it has a ios look and is simple to use
i once remember using a mms.apk of joyos which was extracted by someone
it too is simple and straight

Well, I may try those.
Hi can I ask? I want to make custom ROM from stock ICS for Xperia Tipo.. what app is safe to delete and what doesnt?? I hope anyone can help me with this.. I already search on google but I found nothing relate to this..
well there are some apps which can not be deleted at all
like google partner setup, systemui(status bar) and others
some apps like software update are not needed and are safe to remove
some other apps like phone app, messaging contacts and launcher etc can be replaced by an alternative app
like launcher can be replaced by a good launcher from play store
if you come across an apk you are not sure about, just google for its function
if it is not vital, then remove/replace it
is there any answer like list of it?
