well. I figured out how to make it transparent. I almost have it. This is what I have for that line.
const v1, 0x1
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/mms/ui/MessageListView;->setBackgroundColor(I)V
it compiles fine and loads fine. just no background. what did i miss
I think I may have got it.
now its just pure black im on the right track just cant get it to go white.
ok, so I found the file in the skyrocket mms apk. looked through it till i found that same line. copied the color code and then put it into the mms i am trying to mod, compiled and loaded.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Three days of work. thanks go out to all of you that helped. thank you soooo much, i leanred alot in this experience,.
