If you reboot it will probably disappear

Looks pretty nice, thanks! :good:

Could you possibly increase the maximum lines of the textbox (when writing a sms in the conversation view) from 3 lines to something higher like 5+, so we can see more lines of the text we are currently writing without scrolling around in those tiny 3 rows of text? Maybe it is possible to change the number of those lines in a new settings entry or something, so everyone can set the prefered number of maximum visible lines.

This is a great apk. The stock white burnt my retina. I tried Mysms and this crap app deletes messages when scrolling up and the font is tiny. The stock just needed the same colours as the nice menus, like this.

I didn't test it in depth, but works, but there are some little things that could be better. Like the outgoing text could have a different colour than the received and the stock messenger has lines separating the text/profile picture.

Also, since the theme is dark now, it would be nice to have the unassigned profile picture being darker as well.

Kind of like this:

Otherwise nice work.

I need the one with divider please. :(

Is the OP still active? Just want to have this mms.apk with conversation divider. For me, it looks much better that way. Or could someone teach which file to parse to add the divider. Thanks!

    Updated 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:
    1. Delete the old Mms.apk in the /system/app directory using any file explorer (CM10 now has one built in that can do this)
    2. Move the new Mms.apk into /system/app
    3. 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)
    4. Actually install the app - Just tap on it and hit "Install".
    5. Enjoy!

    Version 2 Posted

    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!

    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.

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