Dark Dialer - Contacts - Mms (T-Mobile Style) 07/23

gadget! · Jul 17, 2013

Ok guys, go easy on me. This is my first real attempt at theming anything major on the S4.

Last updated 07/23/2013 - Fixed colors in mms and mms send button text.

This is for the Verizon S4 VRUAMDK

For Dialers that will work with ME7 go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438904

This is for Deodexed roms...
Note: Several users have had success installing this on odexed roms by simply renaming or deleting the odex files for the apps installed:
SecContacts.odex
SecPhone.odex
SecMms.odex

I hate the white dialer and have noticed from the many posts here I'm not the only one.
I didn't want totally blacked out apps but just didn't want white.
So here is what I came up with:

Dialer themed after the T-Mobile S4
Got rid of the cartoon looking blank contact (there may be some lingering that are pulled from framework files)
Mms emos changed with mostly yellow smileys.
Mms Widget themed (semi-transparent backgrond)

Probably more, I have been working on this for 3 weeks now. I thought Sense was hard to theme.
Touchwiz makes Sense look easy

Thanks to prsterero and Gunthermic for helping me find some of the color locations.

Enough banter...

As usual, I am not responsible for any damage or problems you may have. I recommend a full nand backup before flashing any mods.
Due to the nature of custom roms there is no way for me to know what has and hasn't been customized. This and all of my other mods should only be flashed after doing a backup in case things don't work the way it's expected.

These mods have been tested on several roms before posted but that is no guarantee that they will work on every rom out there.

This will replace SecPhone.apk, SecContacts.apk, and SecMms.apk
It will not modify or alter your framework-res.apk or your SystemUI.apk

This is exactly what I wanted.

Flash in recovery, I assume?

No go.

Booted into TWRP, flashed, wiped caches, rebooted and phone process kept fCing. No phone, contacts, or messenger icons in drawer.

Back to TWRP, fixed permissions, same result.

Flashed revert, and all is fine.

I'm on stock, rooted MDK.

Off to bed, I'll check back in the AM.

Thanks!

This is exactly what I've been looking for as I'm on stock rooted odex. Once someone confirms its working for them I'll give it a go.

Themeing

I don't mean to thread hijack here but I was wondering if you could point me to a good resource with instructions on themeing apps?

What you have done look fantastic, and I can't wait to try it out. There are just a few small tweaks that I would like to make but to want to ask you take your time to do them (personally I prefer the green android smiley's). I would love to figure out how to do this myself. I'm pretty much starting from ground zero here so a "for dummies" guide would probably be in order.

Thanks again for the work you've done and for sharing it with us!

Looks great!

Question: I'm only interested in the phone theme because I'm using the aosp messaging app. If i remove secmms.apk from the zip and flash, will that theme just the dialer and contacts?

I would also like to see a version without the messaging app. Other than that, flash worked like a charm on Cleanrom 1.6.5. Love the dark dialer, but am not a fan of the blacked out messaging app.

I added an MD5 to the OP, check to make sure yours matches.
I have only tried this on "Jelly Beans" but the phone, contacts, and mms are based off the stock rom.

I know others have flashed it and it is working for them, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on stock rooted.

Again, I am running Jelly Beans but just to make sure the upload was good I downloaded it from the link in the OP and flashed and all worked fine for me.

That would work.

Just remove the Mms apk from the zip file and flash, that should get you what you want.

Thanks, MD5 checks out.

I remembered I have an xposed module applied to the phone to enable call recording, maybe that's the conflict? I'll try removing that module and flash again.

Awesome

Thanks for this, I am running jellybeans and this looks awesome.

On another note: what is the signla bar and 4G icon theme that you are using ?

Added Phone and Contacts only zip file to OP

jscarano · Jul 17, 2013

I tried this and it worked great but when I apply RIT Icon theme it fc's the phone like crazy. Sucks that it wont work with it.

edit: I guess I found a workaround. I just flashed revert and then flashed the dark version and it seems to have fixed it.

gandhidog · Jul 17, 2013

Tried flashing this with interesting results...

I'm running sacs v4, which comes with the call recording mod. I flashed the dialer/contacts zip and it looked great, but it removed the call recording. No problem, I figured I would just flash the call recording mod that works with themed phone on top.

Booted up, and no service! Then I get an error message saying my sim card had been removed! Nope! Restored a nandroid, and haven't messed with it since. If I get this to work then I will let you know gadget. The theme looks really great, I love it but I prefer call recording to aesthetics.

Stock Rooted

Anyone try this on stock rooted (I believe that Odex)?

iwearthebelt · Jul 18, 2013

I'm stock rooted odex. Gonna make a backup right now then flash this and see what happens. I'll report back asap and let you know how it went.

I don't think this will work on an odexed rom.

iwearthebelt · Jul 18, 2013

......and that's why you make a backup. Had a feeling it was for deodexed only but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. Didn't work on odex, removed phone, contacts & messaging, but didn't replace. I've really gotta install a deodexed ROM.

shindiggity · Jul 18, 2013

So I flashed and my phone, contracts and messaging app were gone? What did I do wrong.

I think it's because im running black everything out mod.

thelandon · Jul 18, 2013

Works great on Hyperdrive RLS 6! Love your work gadget!
