Hey everyone, I just released the first revision for the app. Let me know if there is anything else that you want added. I am currently working on adding divider lines between messages when viewing a conversation, but it's a bit more complex that I had expected...
The original instructions still apply, and I haven't had any "Application not installed" errors since I built this new version. The download link and screenshots in the OP are for the new version. Try it out!

Root explorer won't allow changes to permissions and on yes file explorer I can't seem to get to the root directory. Only the SD cars directory.

Try repairing permissions in recovery mode, and make sure that the explorer you are using has super user access. Aside from that I have no idea

Root Explorer works fine, if it has root.

If you went into settings and gave it root access, then you should be able to long press the file and go to properties etc and change the permissions.

So it looks like there are some changes to Mms in the past few nightlies, I plan to merge these into the Dark Holo version soon (it's finals week, hooray)! Also, we hope to have a fix for the crappy picture message quality. I might even be able to add a line between messages, but we will have to wait and see. Do you guys want a dividers between messages, or do you prefer conversations without them?
It looks good how it is.
Have you thought of using the 4.2 MMS.apk as a base. There are first alphas rolling out soon.
I'm using one right now and would really like an update to 4.2.

Does that mean people thatre still running stable will have to stay behind a rev?
I'm sure the answer is going to be "try it and see" but... differences?

33Updated to version 2! New texts have a blue highlight as well as the bold contact name, and the keyboard now properly shows up when the Quickmessage popup appears.
Hey everyone! I was fed up with the white screens of the default messaging app burning my retinas, especially when reading late night texts. I wondered, "Why can't it just look like any other Holo app?!", and then I decided to theme it myself. All of the white is gone, replaced by the gradient found in other Holo apps (such as Settings). White text on a dark background is much easier on the eyes, especially in dark environments. I chose not to put blue on everything like in the Inverted versions. There's nothing special about this theme, and that's the point
I only use this on CM10 (which has the Quickmessaging popup and expanding notifications), and I have no idea if it will work on other ROMs. I assume it could work with AOKP but I don't have the time to test it. All of the changes that I made were built on the Mms.apk included in the CM10 10.0.0 build from November 13th.
If you are on CM10 and don't know how to install system apps, here's what to do:
- Delete the old Mms.apk in the /system/app directory using any file explorer (CM10 now has one built in that can do this)
- Move the new Mms.apk into /system/app
- Change permissions for the newly moved Mms.apk to -rw-r--r-- (To do this, long press on the file and go to "properties", then change the permissions there)
- Actually install the app - Just tap on it and hit "Install".
- Enjoy!

I had the same problem.
Once you set the permissions and have Mms.apk in /System/app, reboot (I went to recovery and wiped cache/dalvik), boot to system and Messaging should be back in your apps list.
(The shortcut on your home-screen might be gone)
Looks great, much easier on the eyes, and flows with the rest of CM.1
MMS still crashes. I'm on CM10.1.

For people who are having issues with MMS, I've tested this one by Jase and it works perfect. CM10.1/4.2.1
