you can download the bionix rom if you don't have it , unzip and pull the .apk from the system/app directory.
Tried that. Didn't work. I used astro and tried to install the swype apk from 1.8. I get installation unsuccessful.

Instead of installing it, try moving it to the system/app directory with something like Root Explorer

I'm trying to do this too, which part of the Bionix apk do I actually pull out and put into system/app? I'm using Axura right now but I love the Bionix Swype theme
I'm pretty new to this whole Android thing
edit: do I just replace the Swype apk I already have?

is it possible to do it without metamorph? I don't want an extra app on my phone that all it does was reskin Swype.. I have access to the Bionix.zip so is it possible to somehow rip the Swype from there into mine? I have Root Explorer too...

oh i didnt realize you dont want metamorph on your phone.....its tough to believe that some people can live without it hahaha
anyways, easiest way to install your swype is place the .apk in C:/AndroidSDK/tools on your PC, then access your device through adb (command prompt) and simply type this command:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app (then press enter)
then bang! your new Swype.apk was installed over the one you currently have

great thanks, I will try that, does push just basically overwrite? Can't I just manually do this in root explorer? Or does adb push actually do something in addition?

it overwrites...i can prob do it in root explorer, but i would never tell you to do something i personally never tried, but go right ahead if thats what you would prefer
To the OP, if you are trying to get a specific theme only for Swype, then just use my metamorphs. The Bionix rom uses a Non voice input version of Swype if i remember correctly, and the theme is one of the old ones I found and had in my non v.i. thread. Currently, my metamorphs are for voice input only, but i promise, it's the simplest way to create, distribute, and apply these themes. Sure, it's easier to just replace an .apk with an update.zip, which would allow me to edit the libSwypeCore.so file to change the trail line color as well, but it is also a monumental undertaking in themeing software with REAL fragmentation issues. You thought Android was bad? BAH! I don't even know a rough estimate of the number of versions of Swype being utilized now... If I were to theme the .apk itself, then I would have to do a separate one for Vibrant, Epic, Fascinate, Captivate, GT-I9000, Evo, DX, DInc, etc, etc, until I FINALLY get ONE theme for ALL the versions of Swype. Metamorph eliminates the need for that. You can just install Metamorph, apply the theme, and then uninstall metamorph. You won't lose your theme

when you say theme is it only a swype theme that I'm applying? I don't want to change the theme of the whole rom just to change the swype skin
Just download this swype from the link below and use root explore and move it to /system/app reboot and your done! Its with voice.

I tried to install the swype.apk but it just keeps force closing any idea why? i recently updated to eugenes gingerclone rom but i miss swype and cant find a working version anywhere!
So anyway I can get asop mms apk to work with working mms? Cause I tried to with my LG thrill and failed with it. Nothing ever worked. I'd prefer the stock android messagsing app. But iI don't want to flash a Rom. I know I have to root. But I don't want to flash a rom just for that.
Also Is tthere anyway to change in the framework like where its like froyo everything is vannila like a theme I know it wouldn't be something simple but would be nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
You have to be rooted. The mms.apk is a system app so, to get the apk to install requires you to override.
Yes I know that!!!!! I have known this since I got my first android begenning of last year....... I was asking where to obtain one that will work completely with mms working as well

Sorry didnt see that. Just do a search. But make sure its from gingerbread otherwise it won't work since its from an older sdk. I did it on my captivate

I would also like to know how you installed, its my favorite messaging app
I'd like to know as well!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 Cognition
I accomplished this a while ago but I can't remember how I did it! I attached the apk I used, but I don't know if I installed normally or if I deleted the old mms.apk and used this one? Here's the code for getting rid of the old apk and replacing it with this one, which is what I THINK I did.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
cp mms.apk mms.apk.backup
exit
exit
adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works
EDIT: If you want the stock android messaging, with no themes or anything, look here for the apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220698
The attached file is themed black, which I think is cool, but the stock is there if you need it.
Awesome. I got it to work using root explorer. I HATED the sammy messaging app. This is perfect

how did u get it to work with root explorer? i renamed the sammy mms.apk to mms.apk.backup, and placed the stock android mms.apk in the same location. how to i access it now?
edit: nvm, got it working. just sad i can't change the font size now
Here is a modified stock AT&T Contacts.apk file without the permanent Yellow Pages contact at the top. The is for rooted users only.
Replace the Contacts.apk in /system/app using Root Explorer. Change it's permissions to RW-R--R--. Reboot!
WARNING: Do not use this for any custom ROMs, only for use on a stock AT&T ROM! Also, remember to make backups...
Funny, I never even noticed the YP thingy on the top of my contacts till now. How lame. When I clicked on it, I got a force close. I must have already frozen whatever that button links to...
Thanks, maybe that apk can be swapped out for the stock one in our custom rom(s)...

Awesome work!! This is verified working.
Niceeeee. Like to see dev work like this. Great work. This should maybe be in the themes and apps section though. Not a criticism.
How obnoxious of them to stick that YP in the contacts ?
Thanks, I tried posting in dev but it said not enough posts . I remove the yp app and mine force closed also when clicking the contact. It's crazy how much bloat ware came on this thing. I'd like to see a stock Samsung contacts.apk to see what else they hacked up
So just did this and now Contacts is missing from my app drawer and it wont launch from my launcher tray......... and I cant make calls the phone shortcut is gone.....

I've rebooted multiple times. I tried again same deal not sure what the issue is. I'm on TPC's v2 ROM not sure if that would cause any issue.

I have it, PM me you email addy I'll mail it over to you. I would upload it but I'm at work right now.
I haven't tested this on any of the custom ROMs, only the stock AT&T ROM. I'm not sure what they did with their Contacts.apk file. If you upload the one from your ROM, I can see if I can make the same mods that I did to the AT&T one.
Didn't work for me either, and also copied it over stock apk and don't have a backup. Using TPC V2 ROM. Any one have stock Contacts.apk for that rom?

Using Go Contacts EX from the market for now. It's a little much, but works for good as a replacement for stock.
Looked over in the dev section- will probably be flashing a new ROM soon anyway

Awesome, worked perfectly. Thanks.
Ok, so here's what I would like to find/figure out:
My lady has an SGS 3 stock and I have an SGS 2 (running sho's 1.3.5). I'd like to have her using her stock messaging app and have both her and I be able to send and receive all the same smilies. Ideally I'd like to just drop the mms.apk from the stock sgs3 on my phone and call it good.
Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?
Please don't say, 'GoSMS is the $hit just use that.' a>I'm over 3rd party messaging apps and b>I just want to keep her device stock. c> that's not what i'm trying to accomplish here
I'm looking at just editing my smiley images, but wondering if there's a better way yet.
Thanks.
Dropping the MMS.apk straight in wouldn't work, since they're different devices. Your best bet is either GoSMS which you don't wanna use, or edit the smilies yourself.

Yeah, pretty much knew that but wasn't sure if there was a modded one floating around that would work. I'm going to try and grab hers, pull out the icons and mod mine using the APK Multitool. weeeeee :good:
Just get the SGS3 SecMms.apk, use root explorer and Extract All, Then get the SGS2 SecMms.apk from ShoStocks rom, extract all (you will need to rename the first extracted Sec.Mms to something like SGS3-SecMms other wise when you extract the second one from ShoStock3 it will overwrite the first extracted one). Now go into the folder of the apk's and find the emo_im_blahblahblah's and copy all from the SGS3 and place them in the SGS2 most likely same exact folder. Now use root explorer and zip the folder. Then go to zipped folder location, long press and rename it from Sec.Mms.zip to Sec.Mms.apk Next use root explorer and copy the NEW one you made and go to the /preload folder. Paste it there. Then long press on the .apk again and SET PERMISSIONS and make sure it is set to rw,r, r. Now long press again and select MOVE and go to preload/symlink/system/app and PASTE. HIT OK. Now reboot phone. Done. This should now have the same emoticons.
ALSO MAKE SURE THE EMOTICON FILE NAMES ARE THE SAME.
(YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SET THE PRELOAD FOLDER TO "MOUNT R/W" to be able to paste it there and move it).

I forgot to mention that. I tjink all the samsung stock firmwares use/used the same emoticons inside the mms.apk. Are you sure she isnt using some app or something else from the market? Maybe they have their own emoticons?

So for fun, I've added my own preferable versions of the existing png's, rezipped and moved to my phone. All is good.
Now for our next exercise...Would you happen to know how to add emoticons to an existing messaging app? For example, the sender has an emoticon that uses the text: <3 My messaging app doesn't know what to do with that, so I get the characters instead. The sender sees a heart. Does that make sense?
I'm sure I'd have to add/link some xml to a new png in the same drawable folder. Just not sure where that piece of code is/goes. Maybe you can just point me to a good faq or how-to so I don't have to take up your time.
Thanks man.
I'm almost 100% sure the messaging apps pickup basic things like a heart, but it might look different on each device. As for adding them, give me a little bit and ill look around.

Try Decompiling the MMS.apk and find the code for that emoticon and try editing.

Here are some apks that change the icons on your home screen and your app drawer.
Thanks to Pfaffinator for the icons.
1 go to system/ app and copy your entire app file then place it on an sd card for backup if you want to revert back to your original icons.
2 copy these new apks to system/ app. Your phone will ask if you want to replace your old apk with the new one...tap yes then profit.
3 I do not know how to make a zip file yet as I am still learning.
4 I will add more as I theme more icons.
5 DISLAIMER : I am not responsible for your phone if something goes wrong.
Here are some screen shots

If you flash super Jelly, use the super Jelly updater to download a blank zip. You then use an archive manager like 7zip or winrar to place the apk's in the system/app folder. I think it has to be signed for JB, not sure how to do that tho.
Thanks for sharing tho. If these are someone else's work can you give them credit? If this is your work, nice job!
Edit: saw you said you were theming the icons. Sorry if I offended by suggesting this was another person's work

Pull the apks modified. Either adb pull system > w/e.apk. or do it via phone via a root powered file explore. Place the apks on your sdcard. Mount the device place on your computer. That download a theme or a mod zip. And archive into that make your changes etc flash to test then release as a theme. Message me about if you already haven't ill get to you as soon as I can.

Did it force close once or does it work correctly now? If it doesn't work correctly and you made a backup on your SD card of your original APks you can just pull the NFC apk only and put it back in system app.
