First let me say that I am not a dev nor can I properly edit .9.png files yet. These are just 'Tweaks' I made to the Stock Samsung MMS by switching png files. A few are quite nice while others,... well, I included them because someone just might like them. Right now these are installable manually which is faster than flashing. I do hope to have them in flashable form soon, however.
The installation instructions are step by step so any noobs can install with no problems. Use the paid version of Root Explorer. First delete or move you current Mms.apk to your external SD card (in case you want to reinstall it later). Then place the new Mms.apk in System/app, longpress on the file and choose 'Permissions', uncheck the boxes to match rw-r--r--. If the new app doesn't show up right away, reboot.
I have no probems sending Sms or Mms and get all my audio notifications although I know this is not the case with everyone. I don't have all the answers, so if you can help with any information on why certain people can't send Sms or Mms, please share it. And if you want to just say 'Thanks' to anyone, please use the 'Thanks' button
Thanks for their work go to Team Whiskey, MikeyMike01, KCB877, TonicAcid, and the devs of BlackFroyo!
I've attached thumbnails for you to see what you are getting! I've covered up my contact picture with various symbols (arrow, hat, etc), so these all include the contact picture. Look at the bottom when viewing the thumbmails to see what .apk version you are looking at. I'll place the .apk's in the first post.
Edit: I forgot to mention that these have the green Gingerbread icon. I will work on Black icons soon.

It does, but it is not exactly the same. BTW, you never told me where you got that one. Care to tell?

went through various themes and roms and patched a bunch together. I didn't edit any pngs as I stated before, I used different bubbles, icons, notification icons etc and put them all into one. I also edited the contact pictures out using ninja morph to get rid of the gradient and blank contact pic so it's black, I don't use contact pictures at all.
Also, if you want a dark icon look at the one I used for Loki 2.0, it's a dark launcher icon, still the smiley launcher like the green and blue, just dark. Grab the blue launcher I have too, it's not the bright one that was floating around, its the normal blue, matches well with the themes or the other blue icons like navi.

LOL! I'm asking because I want to credit those people! But if the chain stops at you, that's OK. I already made versions of my previous Gingerbread Dark Theme tweak with green, blue and black icons. I don't like the black one, though, so I'll look and see if Loki's is any better. Thanks!
awesome man, i knew i wasn't the only one who liked the stock mms app but hated those colors.

Yep, I was so happy to learn how to get rid of them. I first found that Captivate app by MikeyMike01 back in mid January and it wouldn't work for the Vibrant, so I took it from there.

Let me save you the trouble. This is for 2.2 roms not 2.2.1. I believe that jellette posted a blurry fix for 2.2.1 in the themes just make sure its the i9000 and not the 4g vibrant version

Those are nice Raymond! Nice work!
What is the color of the notification icon?
Also , I just renamed it from Mmsv1.apk to Mms.apk then copied and pasted, replaced the currant one, no need to fix permissions...at least on my end.
Thanks for posting these!

Sorry guys, no one has posted in here in forever, so I just poke my nose in every once in a while to check the downloads. Yes, it does fix the blurry mms problem, but not the current one on 2.2.1 Roms. For that there are two fixes, the first from the new 4g port, and then Jellete made a separate one.

Your welcome, duce! That is a good question and I don't know the answer because it depends upon the theme you are using I think. Right now I'm using clean tangerine, so my notification icon is orange. I'll guess that the default icon is blue, knowing Samsung, lol!

Just to be more exact, the reason a captivate rom would not work with this is because of AT&T. They have some message center that their particular mms app calls. Everything will work fine until you try to send something, then it will FC. I know this because the original mms that I made was the Gingerbread one made by MikeyMike from the Captivate threads. It was a phenomenal app with more funtionality and twice the size (in bytes) as any other mms.apk I'd seen.
Apk's can be really strange. The Galaxy Tab email.apk will work in either 2.2 or 2.2.1. So will the TouchwizGTG launcher from the Tab as well as many other .apk's. Then you come across some that don't work like the OceanWaves live Wallpaper. Just didn't want you to automatically assume .apk's from other Roms would automatically not work. You must test them yourself.

I'm still investigating what works with what. It would be easier if I would flash something else and test it myself, but I'm not willing yet. My health hasn't been that great lately. I can manage to edit simple .9.png's though, so that might goad me into redoing everything.
Would this work on gingerbread?

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue when using JKay on CheckROM RevoHD 3.1.1 + Siyah v2.2b15.
It works fine until I install the Shade of Dusk theme from the kitchen. When I use this theme the graphics on the AOSP lock screen buttons change from the nice rounded dark grey style to a grey/blue colour and an odd square type shape..
If I flash the theme restore pack from the kitchen it works fine again, also works fine using the Blue-Ocean Custom theme.
Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue, or can shed any light on this problem. I've attached a screenshot below to make it clearer.
Cheers,
Dan

Yeah, I thought of that too. I was just assuming that wasn't the case as it's quite ugly lol..

hey mate im just thinking it could be part of the theme..like i said on my previous post..maybe try it on a stock rom and see what happens
Decided to just install BigBang's ICS theme. Lock screen is 10x nicer now anyway ;-)
So, another related question..
When I a install and then attempt to run JKay Deluxe Settings v13.1, I get a popup telling me to install "Deluxe Theme v13" ..
Anyone know why this happens?
Thanks again,
Dan

But most likely it will work like second one.
I'm using the second for some days and don't have problems.
I think it's because it only changes the colours of the widget, it doesn't mess with the widget itself.
Hi there
Hope I don't mess it up ... if it doesn't have to be exactly that widget, ever tried
Simple Calendar Widget? (sorry, I'm not allowed to post Links )
It's the only widget that's worth it being on my home screen.
and you can change its colors and transparency and much more

Handcent SMS has a similar theme if I believe correctly. Maybe you can give it a try.

The Textbox color is white in their screenshots in Play Store. Maybe it have an option to change the text box color but I'm not sure though, as I haven't used that app much. But there is an option to change colors, maybe you have to tinker with it more.

I'd love to change this, but can't find the option though.
Call screen is ugly as sin. Very little has changed on touchwiz since my last device the s2. Can't even swipe between tabs? Really!?
I would GPE my device but I'm on Sprint..
Hangout dialer is pretty.
But have not tried it on my note.

I agree, here is the link to TBO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828 just click on the TBO icon and download the TBO updater app. then just click on the apk you want to install and follow the prompts. In there you find a bunch cool blackout themed app and apk's including play store and a couple of blacked out dialers.
I know the feeling too well so I took it on myself to change the dialer..
I wanted a full screen caller id and the ugly white removed so far this is what I have.

If you want I can share my files.:good:
Yea share please

to change the background image , I used Wanam to change the holo dark image. The option is under theme / system holo dark background
here is the SecContacts
just rename your original files to .apkbackup and copy my files to System/priv-app and change permision to 0644:good:
Nice work Gabesir. Looks great.
