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.

Good work but how do you replace the template?
Do what I do! See this girl?
No clue who she is. But under my girlfriends contact info, she's right there! Have fun with pictures! I've gotten my grandmother to look quite a bit hotter as well searching Google for pics. Good luck!

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.

Sweet thanks
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.
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.
Just found this app the other day and love it. It is a highly customizable clock widget. You can design your own clock or download one of the many prebuilt ones. Dev is super responsive too! App is still beta but is awesome! I have no connection with this app, I just wanted to share a good app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing man!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to play with this a bit.
Have you heard of ultimate custom clock widget? In my humble opinion it is the one and only app that allows you to have the most freedom and ease in regards to customization. It is amazing just thought I'd let you know in case you haven't seen it.

Wow i just checked that out and it has a ton of features! Checking it out but seems like it will take forever to design.
I like "Make Your Own Clock" because "Ultimate" overwhelmed me. If there was a way to use Ultimate on the PC and download the clock to my phone I could do it, but I'm just not that nimble on a 4.3" screen!
Sent from this here thing that can taptalk
The ultimate one is growing on me. I could easily waste a day or two at work messing with it. Lol.
Problem is it doesnt resize well.
Edit: actually it does. Just needed to read the faq.
I think either one of these plus screencast should make it a lot better to play with.

I'm glad you like it! It seems overwhelming at first but once you get going its easy. Plus its fun to import a skin from the thread and modify it and use them as a starting point for you. I thought that I'd come across rude after I posted in here cause afterwards I thought about it and I could it have been misconstrued as an attempt to hijack your thread. Apologies on that.
Btw a trick I use for finding new skins is searching on Google under the images tab. Adjust the time parameters to last week or 24 hours and you can find skins that aren't posted to xda enjoy and have fun. Hope to see some of your skins in the official skins thread!

Don't know if I'm missing something or not. But I am not seeing the widget in the widgets list. I created a clock and exported it. I see it on my SD card. But I can't figure out how to set on my desktop. I watched over half the video before having to start work also. Any help would be great. I would love to get rid of the stock sense clock.
EDIT: Nevermind. The widgets decided they wanted to appear last night.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for the greyisch texture on the right part of the settings app. Since its being used in some 3rd party apps I thought it should be in the framework-res.apk and I changed a whole lot of images, but that texture never was found.
Since its not the first time I ask this question, just FYI of course i have the holo background themed and the dark dialog files too. My Power menu is black, but I just cant find it. I also talked to some themers over in the transformer forums, but sadly I couldnt get the answer I was longing for -.-
Here is my framework-res.apk

Plz, if you can help me take a look at my apk and tell me what I am missing.
Thanks in advance

I've already told you the answer in our PM. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you, as I've totally forgot about it. I've doubled checked your framework-res.apk and it all looks good. I think you should try and re-texture/make the files i showed you black again from scratch and recompile it. I had the same issue when i was porting it over to Stock roms. As for the camera app settings its in the XML's suprisingly. In the value folders iirc.
I didn't know where to post this, so here goes...
I am a huge fan of the show "Person of Interest" and I've been looking for a theme for my phone that makes it look like the mesh phones from season 4. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything even remotely like that out there!
So here is my theme Challenge: use screenshots from season 4 of the show, starting with the episode "Panopticon" and create a homescreen series (3-5 screens) that are visually similar/identical to the ones seen in the show.
Good Luck!
Here are some images to get you started:

NOTE: Finding actual shots of the phones from the show is next to impossible, so you'll probably have to watch the episodes to get a better look. I've included what I can below... In addition, there are a dialer, and a general purpose screen, which could be used for a music player, or a weather forecast section.

The resource files I just grabbed from various places across the web, because they most resembled the icons and indicators from the show. And sorry, but I don't have a gdrive of the resources to share. The thumbnails of the device from the show I screencapped myself, so you're free to use them. I captured them from the episode "Panopticon"
Also, feel free to use the attached images, I grabbed them off royalty-free sites.
And Thank You very much for taking an interest! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thanks for the flattering, I've created that theme long ago and I kept it mostly for myself for over a year. It was really not that difficult to make, moslty is a background image, some Zooper Widgets and an icon text app that i downloaded for free from the PlayStore. To prove that I'm the creator of it I'll give it free to everyone here:

If you like it and you started using it, please share a photo of it to me via tweeter (@Fre4k4zoid) !
So I made a theme based on those pictures only to find out I can't post links here because I'm new (Always been a lurker). Made another theme and figured I'd take a shot at this since it's been sitting here for so damn long.

Go there to check it out. I Might add some more to it later. Right now the center button just opens the app drawer, but would like it to go to a second themer screen with some app categories. Maybe if people like it.
