hey Litderose.. do you think you can change the "plus" sign for the add contacts icon and the other contacts icon? i'll attach some screenies

I think change ONLY the "plus" sign is easy (open the apk with 7zip, find the png, and change it...).
BUT add a input field... I REALLY not a dev ! I can do just basic mods...

Litderose, j'adore ton MOD mais si tu pourrai ajouté le Hack de la touche "Entré" a la place de celle des smiley, ce serait génial ! :)
Si tu veux j'peux te passer l'apk hacké pour le themer ensuite ;)

IN ENGLISH
Litderose, I like your MOD but if you can add the "Enter" key hack, it would be awesome! :)
If you want, I can send you the apk hacked for theming after ;)

Marsou77 : hélas ! same answer than above, I can change a background, a color (if simple) but what you're asking is not in my skills :(

@ehmjay : please attached the version with the icon you requested.

I made another version with white font (instead of blue) when black background selected, and a new icon for news message (not ehmjay's).
attachment.php


HOW TO
As requested, here is a (very) little "how to".

How to change background, icon, pictures ?
=> just open the apk with 7zip and drag the requested icon, background, pictures you want to modify.
This is very easy.

How to change the font color ?
You need an apk tool for that. I use Apk Manager but this app is no longer avalaible.
So you may use Apk Multitool, which is the new name of Apk Manager.
First, you have to copy your apk in the directory "place-apk-here-for-modding" of ApkMultiTool.
Then, launch ApkMultiTool, set the current project (option 23), decompile the apk (option 9), go to the directory "projects\Mms.apk\res\values\" of the ApkMultiTool directory and open with notepad the file "colors.xml".
It's here you can modify the color of the font. Colors are coded in hexa code (see here for codes).
Save and close the file.
Now, you have to compile the apk (option 11), say no to the question "Is this a system apk". Say no to the next question too.
In the directory "place-apk-here-for-modding", there's a new file "unsignedMms.apk". Open 7zip in two panels mode, in the first panel, open "unsignedMms.apk", in the second panel, open a copy of mms.apk.
Then, copy the file "resources.arsc" of the "unsignedMms.apk" to the mms.apk.
Closes files, push your mms.apk in your phone dir (system/app) and enjoy...

How to change anything else ?
Hum, I'm not a dev, I haven't an answer for this question. :confused:

Cheers.

Change colors

I have modded this app so that the bubbles would look like that of iPhone's. I want to know how to change the font color in the outgoing messaging tab so that it would appear black. Please help.

Black/White and Sober

Here's a new version without blue ICS color.
I changed the icon for new message :
attachment.php
attachment.php

(unpressed icon/black background | unpressed icon/white background)
attachment.php
attachment.php

(pressed icon/black background | pressed icon/white background)
I must say i'm not really satisfied with this icon but i didn't found a better one...

I also changed the icon for contact selection :
attachment.php
attachment.php

(unpressed icon/black background | unpressed icon/white background)
attachment.php
attachment.php

(pressed icon/black background | pressed icon/white background)

The notification send icon has been changed by a white tick :
attachment.php
attachment.php


And finally, I also change the ugly new message notification by this :
attachment.php
attachment.php


Remember I'm not the dev of this app, I just modded it...

Cheers.

For installing, just copy the apk in system/app.
No, it won't delete your sms for sure.
But always do a nandroid backup in case of...

i will share as soon as i know how to change the font color of the text in the outgoing messages bubble.
Have you looked in the file "colors.xml" in the res\values\ directory ? (after decompiling).
Maybe it's one of these :
<color name="timestamp_color">#bf000000</color>
<color name="timestamp_color_grey">#ffcccccc</color>
<color name="unread_bgcolor">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="unread_bgcolor_dark">#ff333333</color>
<color name="read_bgcolor">#ffeeeeee</color>
<color name="read_bgcolor_black">#ff000000</color>
<color name="conversation_title">#ff000000</color>
<color name="conversation_title_black">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="conversation_text_read">#ff737373</color>
<color name="conversation_text_unread">#ff3a3a3a</color>

Click the favorites button with the star icon on top. Click "/". Then choose system, the app from that directory.

ES does not allow root folder search even in root mode. Sad, but true.

Sent from a Microsoft Excel pivot table.

Oh there you are.. THANKS! (Big thanks)! I have accessed the /system/app now.. I will wait for the mod of rho57, it looks sexy. :D

    I was looking for a mod of the CM7 SMS/MMS app to have the messages displayed in bubbles.
    It has been done by P4qui7o in the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 forum.
    Original thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616499

    ALL CREDITS GOES TO P4qui7o !

    I tried it on my Temasek's rom and it's working well !
    Here is a screenshot :
    screenshot_1335219706122.png

    To install :
    1/ MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
    2/ Copy your mms.apk for backup
    3/ copy P4qui7o's mms.apk to the system/app folder with a file manager (ie : ES File Explorer)
    4/ reboot
    5/ enjoy !

    [EDIT] Don't forget to set the permissions to match the other files !
    => rw-r--r-- (thanks Ajsh !)

    [EDIT] I decided to customize a little this app, just for matching with my ICS theme.
    So, black background has been changed, color of title is ICS blue now (instead of green).
    mms.apk attached.
    The result :
    attachment.php

    New version with background header, bottom hearder matching with background for both black and white background (see screenshoots).
    The black background is darker too (I prefer...).
