[MOD] Messaging.apk with "Blacky" smileys - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi,
Here is a light contribution to Motorola mods.
Following instructions about how to decompile, modify, recompile and sign an app (apktool and sign+ are the used tools), I did the mod of the Messaging.apk from Razr M that was previously posted here, including Black smileys previously found in xda thread (but I can't rememeber which one )
[UPDATE] 'just found where to download them out of xda forum here
[UPDATE 2] 'just found the post where I initially found the black smileys here
As not all original green moto smilies are changed, this shall be considered as a "test" version, but it is fully working on XT910 (Razr Maxx) as I only changed the content of res/drawable-hdpi.
[UPDATE 3] I finally finished to replace all smileys. For those that were missing, I did some of them modifying the original ones. I also modified the app icon, and, I changed the app name into "Mms_black_emo" in lieu of "mess_test"

For those who want to do similar job, note that you must change both ic-control-"emotion" and ic-list-"emotion" files. The 1st is for the preview when using "insert an emoticon" option and the 2nd is the one that is visible in your sent message.
To install it:
go into system/app
backup the original mms.apk (or messaging.apk) by renaming it into mms.bak (or messaging.bak) using a file explorer (e/s file explorer is OK for that) with root access in case of something goes wrong
copy the app in system/app folder of your phone
change properties to RW-R-R
reboot your phone
enjoy
Please note that I let the smileys a little bit larger than the original green ones as I wanted them to be easily seen in the app.
For information, Gimp is the soft I used to rescale the original pics.
Have fun !

The original app runs on ICS. I don't know if it is the reason of your trouble. For information I am running stock ICS ROM with root.
