Black / Blue Stock Dialer and Stock Messaging wanted. For some reason Verizon/ATT and maybe more decided to make these so white! Other variants, like in Canada, of the S4 are like the S3 black / dark blue.
Agreed I miss the style on note 2 and s3 etc. This white dialer and messaging is annoying.

The stock messaging lets you change color for message screen but the conversation list stays white.. gag!
Yeah its retarded. Can't wait for custom roms. Come on beans and scotts

Maybe I'm missing something but clean rom appears to just be a stock rom with very mild to no tweaks, so why would we be wanting his to come for these mods?

I'm hoping its just something as simple as taking the apps from the other carrier s4's and just making a flashable zip. From there the makers of clean roms can also just substitute the other carrier dialer/messaging app instead of having to actually theme them.

I was digging for new themes for our JVP/JVQ GB Roms and found this.... I'm going to be trying these ASAP
Note that these themes are NOT GUARANTEED to Work on all roms,,, Flash at your own risk. Naturally make backups
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11340201&postcount=2
Good find, thanks.
I believe the themes have to have the same number of lockscreens to work on our vibrants.

I have heard this also... I just flashed the deep purple theme and all worked well except the phone app was gone for some reason.... it only had 5 lock screens though... mine had 9 originally
It will work fine unless you chose a lockscreen that you don't have coding for, then you've just bought a ticket to bootloop city

can you elaborate on that? I flashed the LEGEND X theme and I got in a boot loop. i had the puzzle lockscreen on before the flash
I have no idea how to check for this before hand but say if you were on the puzzle lockscreen and then you flash a theme that edits some .xmls then you might have a situation where the lockscreen is looking for an .xml that doesn't work it anymore (or maybe is completely missing) and BAM your phones figurative brain explodes and sends you into bootloops. That's my understanding anyways so anybody feel free to correct me.

I think everyone that tries one needs to report back if everything worked or not and we need to start a list of which ones actually work for us.
I would use the standard android lockscreen since its in pretty much all themes and roms. To avoid possible bootloops or worse.

I downloaded handcent from the playstore YEARS ago and have never wanted, nor needed to change applications. It's VERY customizable in every way shape and form.
How about the stock Rogers 4.1.2 JB version? Here is a deodexed version.

You must be really picky!
for some strange reason now works without problems BTW i change the ROM too
Just curious if it was possible to take the dialer, contacts, and MMS apks from a custom ROM and replace the stock ones. I'm just trying to get a new theme on the stock apps.
I know I can just download a messaging app or a dialer app, but I want to try and use stock. It has all the functionality I need, save the theming.
Yeah just have to make sure its a TW ROM. I'm in the same boat as you. Like stock n take certain things out of roms n add to mine

You got that right about the images lol. Also having so many random things tied into framework and twframework makes finding things a pain. It's taken me days to black out mms, contacts, framework, twframework, and the calculator haha.

Changing the hue (if you didn't select only a portion of the image) will change the borders as well. If they aren't solid black, then the image will be jacked up. You can also re-trace over those borders with a pencil tool set to 100% black "ff000000" and that should work too.

OK, thats good.
Are you then recompiling the APK so your .9 image is batched? If not, that's what your missing.
So that's what I'm missing, would you mind explaining how to batch the. 9?

Well the process of recompiling the apk will do it for you. You can then pull that image of of the compiled apk, in the dist folder, and put it into your original to flash in recovery, or push using adb.
There is also a tool somewhere out there that will process the .9 without using apktool, I don't remember what its called tho.
