i cant change my sms background.
i posted on the forum at androidcentral nobody over there could figure it out. seems alot of people can and alot cant.
ive tried every way that is possible. I dont get the option to open gallery all i get for an option is HTC background. doesnt matter if u use settings from an IM or the main sms setttings.
anybody figure this out??
It has something to do with the gallary afaik. Try taking more pics, clearing caches, and even toggle between albums and events.

I would really like to find a solution to this.... I have literally tried everything. It was one of the things that wowed me about sense. Having the background on SMS the same as your wallpaper gave the effect that SMS was transparent and the transition from SMS to the home screen was beautiful.

I have the nero v3 rom by team whiskey and i really dont prefer the stock android sms app. Handcent is alright but i really want the stock touchwiz sms app. Is there any cwm flashable zip you could direct me to that is compatible with nero v3?
PS i dont want the full touchwiz experience, just the sms

It has bugs with pic messaging last I heard, why not customize handcent to look like it??

Look in my thread, I have a fixed TWiz MMS with GB style notification icons and shortcut. Picture messages aren't blurry in that version either. There's a link to my thread in my signature.

GO SMS is also a great option, its got a tad few less customization options than Handcent, but I think it looks much nicer.
Hey guys thanks for all the quick replies! Also i tried your slightly better gingerbread and every one that i tried came back with the system asking me to wait or to force close. Am i doing something wrong?

You should really ask questions about SBG in my thread. If you had another theme prior to mine, some are incompatible. download the Theme Restore I posted and flash that. If you can't get it on your SD card, boot into CWM, select mounts and storage, then mount USB storage. Then you can put it your internal SD to flash it. After you flash that and reboot once, you should be able to apply any of my themes without the force closes or boot-loops. If that doesn't solve your problem, please report it in my thread.
Go sms awsome

yep, GO SMS is just amazing, has a bunch of themes, android, iphone, htc etc.
pop-up options
its really idiot-proof
has all the options you'd look for in a sms app, and it gets updated like every week or every other week.
hi, i am just wondering if there is any app or themes that allow iphone like SMS previews on the lockscreen?
i dont just want to see 1 or 2 new messages i like seeing the sms previews
also if there is also a lock screen theme that can show facebook notifications that would be great to... thank you.
Take a look at widgetlocker.
It's a lockscreen that lets you put widgets or virtually anything on the lockscreen.
It's awesome actually and has many many options.

Thanks ... It helped with some Other Customizations for me
But its Paid version so might not be good for everybody ...
Do you know any other way ???
SMS preview "pop up" is available on many other messaging applications.
Go and handscent do this.

Yeah mate,Go SMS is worth it for pop-up sms
Go SMS is good for popups, but super bloated as an app. If you like that, go for it.

When I get a text with a picture, it plays as a video. Can someone help with this. Not sure how to make it just a pic. Thanks

Same happens to me. I have been able to save the picture sometimes.
But I would love to know how i can change this so i receive it as a picture.
Yeah. It's driving me nuts. Not sure how to fix this. I even tried other apn settings but no difference.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
I dont think its the APN settings because I it happened on my GS2 as well.
Very unusual, maybe its the way Samsung's messaging application shows mms?
Is there anyone who doesnt have this issue?
I havnt re-checked after reading this (I'm lazy) but i was pretty sure it IS a picture but viewed as a slide show for a few seconds, and therefore has a timed progress bar like a video...
My old non-smart phones were the same...

U have to wait for further update from Samsung. Maybe they change that in jellybean. Otherwise you can use Go sms app. Download it from Play store for free.
Since i updated my E3D to ICS. I cant lock my text messages anymore. I was using the hand cent text app to lock all text apps including the original messaging app but it doesn't lock anymore after the update. Any help pls

Idk about the handcent app since I rarely use 3rd party SMS apps but I know that in the stock app I can lock them just fine. are you needing to hide them or simply lock them when deleting a whole thread (which to keep your phone running smoothly should be done every 100 or so to keep it from locking up internal space) or what? I'll download the app and see what you mean if you wanna walk me through whatever you're trying to do. i can give you my gtalk if you want my help? I'm sure someone on here might have the same issue as yourself at one point
Sorry for the long reply. I want to lock my messages so anyone can't just go thru them n be in my business. It can be stock or third party. It don't really matter

So, i decided to try the pacman rom and so far i like it, but i've got one problem... when i go to app settings, such as messaging or facebook messenger or even gmail, i can barely see any text as text color and background are pretty much the same color... gmail is sometimes ok, sometimes not... others are always messed up
Anyone have an idea what to do?
Apply the default theme and reboot.
See if it still happens..
