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 :

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...).

Hey looks promising. Thank you. Is it possible to have such one for Stock Roms?

Looks promising, thanks for sharing. But for some reason the app doesn't show up in my drawer. This is what I tried:
1. Copy system/app/Mms.apk to my sd card
2. Remove the system/app/Mms.apk
3. Copy your shared Mms.apk to that location
4. Reboot

Completely lost my mms/sms app. Restoring the original apk also doesnt fix it (still nothing in app drawer). Reflashing my rom fixed the issue, but I still would like to use your version. Any ideas?

Also notices that I could install the original mms.apk as user app, while I get an "Application not installed" error when I try to install yours.

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 ;)

hey marsou77... the option "enter to send" already exists in mms app settings.. you just have to check it.. or if you want you can always use 3rd party keyboard like smartkeyboard with that option

    @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.

    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.
