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?
If you are using a theme, try to revert back to default theme and see if the problem persists

Agreed, most likely a theme applied color scheme

I am using TB for my backups and restores as I'm flashing roms quite a bit. The only problem I have is that my standard email (not the gmail app) accounts are not restored. This happens if I go from stock to CM or Axura.
I think i am probably just doing something wrong, but I don't know. Can anybody advise.
I searched before this post but didn't find the answer.
Email is considered a system app. It won't save unless you want to save that, but it can cause FCs.
I personally use K9 Mail and it sticks for the most part. I prefer K9 mail over the stock Email app.

Can't thank you enough zephiK.
I just installed and configured K9 and it is way better than the default email app. Many many thanks.
You the man
Glad I could help Another tip is when you open up K9 go into Settings -> Display -> Theme.
Set the theme to dark and you'll save some battery by using a black background

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.

Hey, after a few searches, I know this has been brought up elsewhere, but I'm just looking for updates.
I just changed over to handcent so I can have emojis, but now I'm realizing that the app doesn't work with one of my favorite features: the lock screen shortcut notification for sms/mms messages. What I'm looking for is some way that when you swipe that circle with the unread count for sms that it brings you to handcent (or whatever other 3rd party sms app) instead of the stock messaging app. I figure there has to be a way..
You're talking about on ICS TW(Stock setup) right? I don't believe that would be able to be done without a MOD of some sort.
I think you can do what you want, with a bit of a different look, using something like widget locker or some other lockscreen replacement app.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, ICS TW for now (synergy to be exact, not that it matters in this case). I really like the stock setup for the lockscteen, but I'll check out widget locker. I guess the best solution would be if someone made emojis work on rooted stock, but I'm not sure how much work that entails. I've only seen it available on AOSP

GoSms also has emoji support. But you'll run into the same issue with the lock screen.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're both talking about, however I haven't used Synergy. Are y'all talking about the four lockscreen shortcuts or a widget on the lock screen in addition to the lockscreen shortcuts?

If you talking about the missed sms count to swipe to the left, dunno.
As for the sms icon/app you can change it under shortcuts where you toggle it on and off, you can click it and change it to your sms program.
Yeah, the OP wants to change where the missed message count brings him when he swipes it.
Long shot, but is there an ASOP messaging app we can use? And would that be able to be recognized as "stock"? I know ASOP has a mod for emojis

I did this on my old RAZR so maybe it's similar. What I did was rename the stock MMS to .bak then moved my preferred MMS app to system/app folder and renamed it to the stock MMS rebooted and it worked. Worth a shot, I'm on eclipse or I'd try it.

If it breaks anything you just delete the file you moved and thanks the original back to mms.apk
I have an inverted version of the stock MMS app (4.0.4-eng.tvap624.20120702.011632) and I can say that the notification that pops up on the stock lockscreen is unique to the Samsung mms app. This means notifications using any other mms app will not show up as a swipable event on the stock lockscreen. Inverted stock is a great version of the mms app. I just renamed secmms.apk (I believe) with .bak, put in the new app, renamed it as the original, set permissions, and rebooted. I have emoji support and messages on an all black background. It's nice.

thanks for the info. where did you get the inverted stock mms app? does it work 100%? I think this will be the best option for me since handcent has been slow and crashing. is the emoji support complete ios6?

I know, I'm actually using Handcent right now for emojis (didnt want to pay GoSMS just to send emojis).
It seems like lockscreen support is probably a complete no go unless someone somehow mods the stock mms for emojis (no idea how intense that process might be).

Lol, I never noticed you had to pay to be able to send them. My bad.
I've been trying out different ROMs and AcDis apps, but nothing compares to the stock Active Display. One feature I liked of the AcDis-like apps was the ability to change the foreground color. Is it possible to change the stock app's foreground color with an xposed mod or app? Thanks.

I have been messing around with xblast and managed to change some of the colors. Not the clock color but some of the info you get when you press down on a notification in active display. That's a powerful xposed module.
Yeah I would love to be able to change the colors. I'm sure it could be done with xposed but I have no clue how to code. If anyone took this up it would be appreciated!
Might be able to come up with something...
Is there any way to change the active display pulsing time / duration? It's great, but the time difference between the Active display going off and coming back is six seconds for notifications, which is little too much for me.
Thanks for you help, let me know if you need anything from me. I'm on an unlocked Verizon running stock system, faux kernal, and TWRP.

Hey folks.
So I have this weird problem where my wallpaper won't centre properly. It looks fine on the preview but when it's set it looks zoomed in and and a little off centre to the right.
I'm rooted and using Nova Launcher Prime as well but these issues were there before that anyway.
Anyone have any thoughts or a work around? It's only mildly annoying and not a huge deal but I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I'd like to get it sorted.

How are you setting the wallpaper? Are you going into your actual S6 settings, then wallpaper? or are you long pressing the home screen and using Nova to set it?
I've noticed this too, wallpaper sets like it should on lock screen but on home screen it's zoomed and moved down..
Also I noticed this is a problem with a nova launcher..
Samsung screws with the cropping to implement the dynamic perspective feature in the default launcher.
Add a border of 10% around the image you want to set and then try again. May need to play with it a bit depending on the launcher. Works for GNL. For example, if your image is 2000x2000 pixels, add a border to make it 2200x2200. I use the "Fit" feature of this app to do it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor
I think I found the issue. I turned off wallpaper scrolling in Nova settings and the wallpapers seem to centre correctly now.

Had a similar problem using ADW Launcher, and disabling the wallpaper hack (system>adv settings) fixed the problem. I believe it's off by default but I restored a backup after a format.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to ThatChinskiGuy for pointing me in the right direction.
