White on black stock messaging app mod wanted

Just about as simple as it sounds. The evo theme is dark, but the mms app is obnoxiously black on white. It's kinda blinding in dark rooms. Yeah handcent can do that but that's way over kill for a texting app for my use. I'm using the fresh rom, btw. Thanks.

Download ChompSms and you can customize all the colors and even make it themed like Iphones sms system. It's a nifty and FREE little app. I donated to remove adds and its been well worth it. Give it a shot. Worst case scenario, you uninstall it.

I too am wanting to have this white on black or white on gray feature WITHOUT going the third party route of using chompsms or handcent. I like the simple features if the stock sense app. waking up early and reading missed texts is blinding lol.

I know you said you don't want another app but this is the messaging app from AOSP and it replaces the default HTC messaging app. Just flash it in recovery.

I would also like to see this I really hate how bright it is. The only problem with aosp messaging is you can't use the HTC messaging widget

AOSP would be the easiest, making the sense app black you would either need to pretty much completely rewrite the xml or you would need to theme all the Sense apps through com.htc.resources. All the HTC apps get there style from com.htc.resources, I was going to make them black in my blue theme but the HTC stuff is way to integrated into android.

Yep. Both of my messaging widgets work. But I'm on a different ROM (Myn's Warm 2.2), so maybe that could have something to do with it?

potentially but i think i may try it

Chameleon Launcher for All

I don't personally agree that app's currently free in the App Store in "BETA" should be locked to specific users. IF you want the BEST product, you should let as many people test it as possible.
So here you go, Chameleon Launcher for EVERYONE
ROOT REQUIRED
Install Chameleon Launcher Beta via the Play Store.
Run Chameleon Activator, and click Generate
Launch Chameleon Launcher and enjoy updates via app store
Enjoy

As far as I know, there were only a few widget's. I have no access to the official binary(unpatched) but all that was changed was a single byte in the entire app.
Grep'ing the widget catalog smali shows nothing about facebook(checking facebook, fbook, face, book, etc as terms).

It's a beta, I didn't write it, just felt more people should be able to test it. Hopefully the developers will watch the feedback here as well so they know too.

I believe it is not allowed to be posted in such a manner on the Play Store, so the developer is wrong to put it up as a selective beta.

i'm getting this error: application not installed
can anyone help me pls?
thanks

My apologies, I originally signed it with cm9 platform keys which don't allow you to install it(you would have to copy into system/app)
Re-download from OP and you should be fine.

When do you get the force close? log cat?
I've only personally tested on Moto Xoom w/ OTA JB, and my Galaxy Note(CM9).
Some clipping occurs on the Note, and on the Xoom I get force closes with the widgets if I add/remove them certain ways.

It works awesome on my htc one x! But looks like its created for tablets

working very well on my touchpad
but i think its not fully release . where is other widgets ?

[ICON] Social + Chrome

After people liking the icon I did for whatsapp heres a few for the social apps and chrome.
If i get a good response I may continue to do these icons.
Peace,
Luke.
:UPDATED:
due to it being pointed out that the icons weren't the same size as the OS I adjusted them to fit properly.

The chrome icon is ever so slightly bigger than the other icons on the home screen.

Shouldn't be as I used the same 128x128 file screenshot please?

Hope this helps.

UPDATED!

Thanks once again. Are you open for requests ?

AOSP look on Note5 (OS-wide)!

So, I don't remember the Note4 having this, so pardon my naivete if it did, but if you go into Settings > Themes, then go to the Theme Store, click ALL and scroll down a bit, you can find two FREE Material themes (standard and dark, I prefer the standard one). Looks very similar to AOSP across the entire OS (if you like that sort of thing, like me), especially when coupled with Nova Launcher:

What are you using to get the stock icons back? The theme changes all the background menus but not the icons.

He's using Nova Launcher to replace the default icons with the stock Lollipop ones.

Many Samsung themes are not downloading. Also Samsung themes remind a lot of miui themes.

I loaded the dark material theme... looks sweet.

Here's a few shots... I'm using nova launcher, so my dock looks a bit different than the TouchWiz dock on my homepage.

How does one move the app icon in the dock to the center? Is that something enabled by the theme? I can move the other stuff, but the Apps doesn't want to move from the right from what I can tell.

Nova launcher is how I moved it... can't move it with stock touch wiz launcher.

I'm running Nova now and have it moved. There enough features in TouchWiz now that I would use it, but Apps icon in the dock not movable is probably the only thing stopping me from switching back. Although, I'm not too keen on setting up a Samsung account just to get a Theme that looks like AOSP.

How to remove Emui ?

Hi, i will buy this device if it is possible to remove the bloat emui. Is there any custom rom ?

If you're rooted you can use System App Remover. It just works reliable and you can test first to freeze the apps you want just to see if it messes with system stability. If it does you can undo and if it doesn't, you can permanently uninstall.

System app remover works well

It's almost impossible to delete an important module or app as they're classified and can be undelete from recycle bin.

Do not remove apps you don't know the purpose of. If you can find the app in Play Store, most probably it is safe to remove.

Native weather app can be removed. It's not found in play store.
Dialer, contacts and some others cannot, even if replaced by others.

Even so with some modding, patient, time and risk all apps could be replaced.

Some Modaco custom ROMs have stock Huawei apps replaced with Google's to provide vanilla-ish experience.

There is nothing special with modaco roms, just bloatware less optimised stock rom

I do transparent clock and weather as it seems light, complete and good looking.

As a dumb American I appreciate that it gives the options of either Celsius and Fahrenheit temps, but the same option for km/h and mph wind speeds would be nice to have as well. Plus we use coal not wind power, so a plume of black smoke that moves at different speeds would be a better icon/animation than wind turbines.
