How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

You could just use some of the stable ROMS out so far... CM7 from cybik is working well and CM7's dialer is pretty badass.
Can you take some screen shots of the dialer?

Cm7 w/ blue bionic theme
See now that is a nice looking dialer. Thx for posting screenshot.
I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

Well hurry up already...
I have been running cm7 for two weeks as a daily and have no issues. I also use this phone for work and it is the the best combo I have used.

Hey everybody can someone please tell me how to change the background in the sms app.
I'm asking for a friend and I don't have the phone with me to pay with to help him so I have no idea.
Thanks all
Open the sms app, settings, background style, the different backgrounds available show at the bottom, you can scroll all the way to the right and click on the last one (black square with + in it) to pick a background from your files or take a picture

Only available on the latest XXBLFB rom from samsung
anyone know why certain threads in stock SMS have the contacts name appear in blue rather than white? cant figure it out for the life of me.
also does everyone else sms start at the bottom (earliest) thread rather than the top. i have to scroll up every time i open the app.
Been wondering the same **** lol
I've noticed the same. Except which ones are blue seems to be totally random.
I figured it was a small unfortunate glitch.
maybe facebook contacts? i dont have this problem nor a facebook so, maybe thats why?

Starred in Android? Favorites? Phone contacts?
its totally random and now that i think about it, i haven't seen a blue thread in days. I wonder if its coverage related?
Did anyone flash Mad Industries ICS Blue toggles from the VZW dev section? I thought thats what did it because I noticed this after I flashed that Mod. On my phone the 2nd, 3rd and 4th threads in my Messaging app have it but all others are regular. Then if I delete a thread and a different one moves into one of those positions that name becomes blue. I dont really mind it and if it is that Mod that did it I dont care even less cuz that ICS Blue toggle mod is the shiz!
The blue threads aren't the ones where the last text in the thread is yours?

It's texts you haven't responded to, or have a draft outstanding. Take a blue one and start a response, it goes to white. Delete your text good back to blue

yeah its definitely not the last one you responded to. that doesnt seem to make a difference for me. i did notice that over usage time everyone of my threads turned blue even days old messages with no activity that were previously white. then upon restart of the phone its back to a mix.
i notice i text someone,text someone else later you click the text icon and it shows the people you have texted so you can text them again, the sms came with liquid is not doing that i have to select them again from phone contacts,so looking for a differnt one thanks

well i replaced it with handcent, i have never seen the stock sms do that that, handcent does what i want
Stock SMS has always done that. Are you sure you are going to the messaging app and not contacts app? I can assure you what you want is a stock feature on Liquid and all CM/AOSP roms. If not factory reset and reinstall...or wait for slim to come out later today.

To much stuff going on with it. Can you send a long text, more then 160, does it split it or only send the first 160 or won't send it at all?

Handcent is full of problems but unfortunately I have to use it to get threaded conversations with my iPhone friends.

there is an option in the settings to split large messages that i left unchecked, and then i sent a long message to verify...it works as advertised.

I use handcent on every platform from froyo to jellybean...and I still love it.. zero issues with mine and I'm on slim rom 4.1.1...
There is alot of options for main list..and dozens of options for different looks for conversation threads..you can choose from android to iphone little popuos in the text..or a simple text feel..handcent can suit basically anyone needs as long as you soend the time tweaking it out...it becomes awesome..just remember to backup the app using titanium backup...so when you change roms..your settings are still there. I hate if I had to change all my fonts and font colors I made..lol

If i'm texting my iphone friends in group text i can send one singke text. If i try to send a second without exiting the program then it sends a blank text to them all. I also have alot of texts that take forever to send. Stock messaging app is great for single texts to an iphone user or if i want to send four of the same text to my friend individually.

So, i decided to try the pacman rom and so far i like it, but i've got one problem... when i go to app settings, such as messaging or facebook messenger or even gmail, i can barely see any text as text color and background are pretty much the same color... gmail is sometimes ok, sometimes not... others are always messed up
Anyone have an idea what to do?
Apply the default theme and reboot.
See if it still happens..
