Hello,
I bought an XPERIA U for my gf, she likes the phone, but as many girls she dislikes the theme/colors of the icons/apps.
The SMS icon is "ok" but when you go in its very sober and dark, and she wants something bright like in iOS, so I browsed the appstore and found SMS GO PRO, which is doing well.. But this app sends spam text messages now and then. So i'd like to find a way to have this standard text messaging app to do bright, by applying another theme?
or do I need to put a custom rom on it? for it to be bright?
If no custom rom is needed, which theme do I need to install (i'm very noob on this for the moment). I get my nexus 7 24th of september than I can play a bit more with android ^^
Thanks in advance

Try Handcent Sms mate
I wouldnt suggest you playing with ROM's just for a "brighter theme"...
Search for ilauncher apk, it resembles the iphone launcher.

Root phone and get themes from /system/vendor folder... Decompile one of them and replace pictures... Compile and copy to /system/vendor... Think this is enought for you. (maybe you will only need open apk with winrar or 7zip and replace pictures in res folder of theme)
BTW. Icons will be the same as in original theme.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere but I tried many keyboards where I can use them to type emoji anywhere but I dont like them I would like the original ICS keyboard or the samsung keyboard with emoji (because I have an S 2).
Hasn't anyone thought of addin it in the encoding in a way if I recieve any emoji in msgs or any other app it would appear instead of boxs ?
Am planning to fill this gap after I learn coding until then we will see...
Anyone ?
I'm not a dev or anything but I think the main problem is that even if you can encode your keyboard to support emoji, anyone whose phone doesn't support those wouldn't see them properly. So it's not really practical for devs to make the effort to mod one of the default keyboards if most people won't use the feature anyways.
I think this is going to have to be a challenge you'll have to take down on your own if it bothers you that much.

Extra emoji support
I believe the messenger app has an option of supporting additional emoji in the conversations. It's just a matter of checking it. It worked wonders for me, since I text an iPhone friend very often.
Sometimes the option is not there though.
Hope this helps you

On the GS3 it's a little bit different, I'm posting the how to in a bit
Hello! Brand new here.. although I've been lurking for quite some time as a guest. Here is my first question: Is there a way to disable the text messenger application is this ROM? I want to use Handcent in place of this bland application.. The disable button is..disabled. I want the lock screen to go to the Handcent application like I can enable it to do on the stock ICS ROM. Thank you.
Hey guys I know there is a bunch of other apps out there to get Emoji on Android. I love Moto Blur (yes I know I may be one of the few, which keeps me from going custom ). So I wouldn't even mind if its another app that implements them into Stock but I would prefer the Stock SMS app > all. I'm looking for this due to the fact that my mom,gf, dad, multiple other people have Iphone(yes the cursed device) and love to send Emoji's to me. So any help would be awesome thanks!
If you are rooted, there is an app called Emoji font changer (or something like that) in the Play store. You follow the steps on it and it adds the Emoji font to your device so that it can read emojis in all apps (including stock SMS). The only downside is that they are in black and white, so you don't get the bright and vivid appearance of the iPhone ones.

Re:
Thanks I found a app on Here actually that i ended up loving with a integration of Emoji input and viewing call Sliding Messaging.
Hello guys, I have both a question and a request.
I recently downgraded to stock (tired of lag in CM's roms) but the Emojis are too damn ugly!
CM's emojis were colorful and had a nice design, Stock's emojis and black and white and some of them you can't even recognize.
The question is: Is there a way to change Stock's Emojis into CM's Emojis? If yes, how?
And if not, can someone make this possible?
I mean, is not the end of the world but is nice to have good emojis :silly:
Thanks in advance.

Actually I think is a little more complicated for me, as I only use emojis in Instagram (and Whatsapp, but they have their own emojis)
I'm currently using SwiftKey Keyboard. I don't think it has a way, right?

i used the cf auto root and NH7 so still 4.4.4
im looking for some suggestions from the experienced users of either app or themes based on my needs.
im vision impaired and deaf so sound is whatever but vibrations are great if customized. as for vision, i work best with the dark themes. mainly like everything is a black nackground with light colored text. even google chrome. i can do it on my pc but not phone and i did try firefox but altho it worked, not very stable to use. i do tend to lean towards go launcher bc of editing how i like and still simple icons. nothing fancy or whatnot. but another app would be like a note pad where background is black, font is white but you can change the size of the font. ive tried blackbook app but its perfect if i could just change the font size. can anyone suggest any dark themes or apps that could benefit me? im not to ready to update to lollipop yet but if its the only way to get certain things i need, i will but for now i would like to try to stick with android 4.4.4. thank you in advance to any help and advice!

Hi , have you tried to change your font size ? Go to settings/device/font/font size and you can change your font size. Or you can change style also while your there 5 fonts that come with the device. Or you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 download and install this APK and you have 500 different fonts to choose from.
