[Q] Messaging Icon - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know how I can apply this messaging icon without using a ROM that has one. I want the stock look and feel but just with the icon changed. Or at least does anyone know where I can get that specific icon?

Hahaha thats neat, I feel good knowing that I'm not the only one that noticed the different messaging icon from the boxes and previews. Though it'd be cool if you could change the look of it to that; looks a lot more elegant than the stock one, I'm interested in this.
For the longest i wondered why my weather widget was bigger than the one in all the preview pictures of the phone but then i realized it was resizable..

it bothers me so much.. but I deal with it.. there are themes with this new icon but I really don't want much/anything changed but the messaging icon itself

Hmm, heres an idea, it will LIKELY work I'm thinking, ask the devs for their messaging apk, and replace your messaging app the one from the custom rom using root explorer. Im betting it will work! Its at least worth a shot id say.

hmm.. you're right.. I never really thought of that! It wouldn't hurt giving it a whirl.. while making a donation in return.

Yeah, worth a shot, just back up your entire rom/app beforehand though. in case it doesn't work.

did u try to put out our mms.apk from root/system/apps on ur pc. open it with winrar go to this directory res\drawable-hdpi and just replace the .png file of ic_launcher_smsmms.png i think... and after that put the whole .apk back to your phone. the only thing u need is root and rootexplorer or es explorer, which i used
for it worked that way and it was preaty easy... give it a try

yeah but where would I get that icon to begin with...
EDIT: i did what you told me (i found a ROM that had the icon I was looking for) but it looks a little low res for it to be a good icon.. any ideas on how to work around that one?
EDIT II: I figured it out.. edited the apk but when I go to install/reinstall? it says "application not installed" and I have no idea how to edit it in Root Explorer.

There's no widgets included? Could be residual . Needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Love it! Anyway to tweak it? Such as having the app drawer scroll like LauncherPro? Maybe extending spaced between icons a bit? I'm having some apps have word wrap issues.
Looks great on my Captivate!

A Thought - For the upcoming roms [Time Clock]

Like many of you guys, I really appreciate the benefits of a nice big clock widget. And I find the time on the application bar to be very redundant. I would like to see an option for that to be disabled in any of the newer upcoming roms. It will save precious space
Here's what it might look like

Personally I like having the time there. That way when I'm doing something like browsing the web I can still see what time it is. Comes in handy when I'm on my lunch break.

yeah, there will definitely be instances when you'd want the time there. i think an option to display it on and off would be very handy

This is an option on cm6. I really can't wait for that to hit our phones!

I have been rocking a white notification bar since day 2... I got the date and notifications text black... Whenever I edit the clock it fc loops..
I'm going to start looking into this..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It would be great if the time display in the menu bar could be dynamic. When in an app have it display, when on the home screen, have it hidden.
What power widget is that? Definitely more useful than the android one.
I got the gauge battery and the switch pro widget. Highly recommend it. There are many different configurations.

What clock widget is that? I've been going crazy looking for it.
Thx!
it's fairly straight forward to remove yourself if you like. If you check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614 There's a walkthrough. But be aware on the SGS the line item numbers for the clock and alarm are different than what he shows in that thread.

[Request] Matted Blue Theme From Fascinate

Saw some one using this while browsing around the LauncherPro forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834208
If anyone is willing to port it that would be great. Probably one of the best looking themes I have ever seen.

Rough crowd.
use launcherpro, and then you have to find the wall paper and the widgets and the icon pack and use bettercut to replace the icons.

So yea. Basically I replaced all the images, but each time the phone boots up everything force closes. =/
Well that sucks.
I would love this too,I played around with it on a fascinate today,and there is more to it than just a skin,it replaces animations too,things fly onto and off of the screen.I'll be able to record a video of it monday if it isn't already ported by then.
I tried just flashing this on my vibrant and it gets stuck in a reboot loop,so that won't work. I'll look at what it changes later tonight.
is this thing dead...or somebody wanna work on it?

if you port it, make sure to give credit to the original creator from the evo 4g...i just ported it to the fascinate (although it ll be a lot easier to port for you guys as i already split it to tw and framework, from the evo framework )

lol i totally forgot about trying to port this. yea it shouldnt be too hard tho. i kinda got busy trying to make a working MOD for the data cap throttle,but with no success...the culprit has got to be somewhere within the added touchwiz components.

[Q] i hate being laughed at

i would like to get rid of the contact pic when on the phone and in messaging. i dont have facebook installed so i have zero pics assigned to contacts. so what i get is the standard dude with a big smile. the same with messaging. i would rather not have the contact pic next to every single text.
i am running the latest aokp with nova. and i do not want to put in a full blown theme because i really like the one that came with it. i have seen a few topics that talked about phone apks and such but it seems like that too would take me away from the theme.
what can i do? thx.
Don't know how to do a whole batch but for each individual contact, you can Edit then tab on the pic then select remove picture.
i just tried it. that only works if there is a pic stored for the contact. what i get for options is take pic or choose from gallery.
thanx anyways and thx for the fast response
go through the other ICS ROMs. and find the one you want,(the message apps) theres bound to be one you find just as good bro. you can always extract just the messaging.apk (or converstations.apk) and move it over to SYSTEM/APPS on your phone, with a root explorer on R/W. rename your current messaging app to Messaging1 or something and keep it just in case you want to go back.
as far as i know theres no way of takeing off just the ICS Avatar Guy. hope i helped!

thats what i was afraid of. what i need to do.... is learn to code. not the easiest thing to do though when ur 37 and a legal mmj patient. seems like if i knew what i was doing... i could go in there and at least make the size of the thing smaller on the phone. it fills up half of my screen and is blown up so much it looks really pixelated.
thanx for telling me where the apks are located. i might just start diving in and see if i can screw it up.

You meant you want to remove the entire empty template?
yes
edit: trying to edit within es file explorer is impossible i guess. i can get into the apk and see all of the xml files... but there is no way to edit the margins and/or image size. ill keep hunting. might just start dloading roms like cgromo90 advised.
i just remember this being a non issue when using touchwiz. trying to get back to that while still keeping the badassedness that is aokp.
What about using a different messaging app out of Google Play? Or try the CM9 nightly.
CM9 has the same messaging apk
The messaging isn't as important as the phone.
The more I think.about it... the more I think I need to take a pic of something simple and just use it for all of my contacts. Or.just download a PNG of the android robot.
I looked in it for Sammy rom, but couldn't find a simple way of removing it.
Might have to dig into smali for that one.
this is ewhat i ended up doing. it got rid of the avatar and is much much better to look at. not perfect, but i guess i cant have my cake and eat it too.

Question regarding spacing between icons

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.
