[Q] Getting rid of smiley faces? - HTC Amaze 4G

I'm on Nightmare Sense 1.0 and I have a question.
The smileys that appear in the stock messaging app, is it possible to prevent them from showing up as actual cartoon faces? Like I just want the standard colon with a half parenthesis. If it means that I have to sort of dissect the Mms.apk, then so be it. Those smiley faces are driving me nuts.

Remove the nose from the smiley..lol

right now, I'm using Zenexp but then I put Aloyosus (probably spelled wrong) either one and the sense clock shows up and the clouds come out squares.
I dono about you, but the clouds in my sky are all square. Maybe you should try moving?

what do you mean? I know that whichever rom I use its the same thing over and over. Like example; if its a rainy day, you see white small boxes dripping down the screen. Don't know what it can be. I must have deleted something that's causing this. If I go to the actual weather widget to pick a city the effects are fine. its the effects on my home screen that its happening.
Did you wipe before flashing a new rom? Sounds like if your problem carried over to Aloysius maybe you forgot.

Its the lwp patch from aloysius conflicting with the htc weather wallpaper animations. the patch breaks weather wallpaper. you need to add this file to /system/lib/egl in the aloysius thread to fix it. its not a flashable zip, open the zip, extract the egl.cfg file and push it or use root explorer or an equivalent to paste it.

[THEME] Black Status Bar Theme For Droid2

Hi,
Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.
Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

Ok thank for not taking the time to just write it. Your read me just says if you want it white them replace the services.jar LOL ok so i am not a programmer and can only guess tough guy that the text wont be white? I just wanted to know if it will affect anything else. SOOOOOO many times i see people "make" their own theme and swear up and down that something wont affect another and it does, so again thanks for the vague instructions and really helping out with nothing. I tell you want your theme isnt worth it i will just move on to a better one thank you!
Is this the services.jar I posted for you?

Its called SeePU
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/seepu_eyqj.html
costs a few bucks but well worth it. don't mind the haters in the comments, this app has worked on every android phone I've had and with every ROM.
new version.. 0.7
some new icons/updates
looks awesome!! thank you!!!!
im going to be moving support for this theme over to the VZW 2.4.5 (and eventually newer) roms. version 0.7 will be the last one for the default droid 2 rom. ill leave it around for those who want it. version 0.8 for vzw 2.4.5 coming soon.
what do you think would happen if we did this but replacd your icons with the stock ones?

why not just make a black status bar then?
really id just need the white text but im really not confident in my ability to do it and the majority om these talk about deodexing and i just dont understand enough about the OS to do much outside of a simple step by step.
what would you like in white? just the clock or what?

The letters and clock mostly. the images are all in a dark grey that would be tough to see so it would be nice to have all the icons(3G, vibrate, silent, battery, signal bars, text message and email) done in a white/light grey as well. I understand that is a bit tougher to do. I could make the images if I could rip the current ones off my phone and just use photoshop to change the colors then repackage and install. but I dont know how to rip, repackage or install. so I just wanted to use his method with icons I would make, assuming this is possible.

if you give me the images i can prolly make an installer for you, but you should maybe enhance your knowledge on this stuff first before you try to do it as these things can be dangerous.

It is possible however you would have to have a theme to work with first. You would then decompile the APK using a tool such as APK manager or you can open the apk directly using something like Winrar or similar. You can then navigate to the folder of "drawable-hdpi" which inside the "res" folder. This is where all the pngs are held.
well i was gonna release v0.8 for the green 2.5 vzn rom by angdroid, but i like the looks of that fission rom that they are working on.. maybe ill do 0.8 as planned and do 0.9 for fission once they are done with it.
fission seems nice and clean

Nope! I think that I will leave it till someone comes up with an app. I am sure that it won't be long.
Thanks for the help anyway.

If you just want to add a few frequently used apps, you can try Wizz Bar from the Market. It doesn't do all your looking for, but I find it quite useful for adding my preferred apps there.

I was wondering how you set your notification bar smaller? Mine are way too big and changing display mode and text size does not do anything.

But in any case, could you share the steps on how to get that look? I'd like to study it first in advance. I just got my mate 10 and it would be a waste to root and void the warranty unless I can assess what Im getting in return.
