[APP] Skyrocket MMS for Android 2.3 Gingerbread

scarmon25 · May 3, 2012

After alot of work and help from many people I have completed it. This is a MMS apk for Deodexed Gingerbread ROM's such as Calkulins Stock Deodexed or Calks GB ROM.

Download attached apk
Move apk to system/app
Set Permissions to RW/R/R
Reboot.

Note: You may want to back up the original mms.apk. You can always get it from the Stock ROM zip if you need to.

Many many thanks to all that helped me. I learned alot from this little adventure.

Try the png's first. I'm not sty the computer right now so I can't remember the name, but it says simmering about chat bg.9. If nobody has helped you by the time I get home, I can tell you more. Hit up 12many,, he could probably tell you exactly where to look.

think dazed is right, there are often background png's (and sometimes not in the drawable-hdpi folder). most the time "bg" will be in the name so look for that first. otherwise the xml would be in colors.xml or styles.xml in the res/values directory

That is actually a smali edit.

Mms.apk\com\android\mms\ui\ComposeMessageFragment.smali

Line 16051 const v1, 0xd4d2d0

change that to what you want you color to be. that ones hex is 2b2d30. Remember in smali the numbers are not in hex.

Never worked with smali before. So gonna give this a shot. The code you gave me is that the code for white.

OK. So I decompiled and that file isn't there. I have a butt load of compose message files but not one that has fragment in it. Also just to make sure this is 2.3.6! Mms.apk

I attached a pick to kinda make sure we're on the same page.

I did. I went through all the pngs in the drawable-hdpi folder. I swapped all those and any others that related to it. Still grey background. I changed out an XML and got the white background I wanted but it broke mms for some reason. Couldn't send or receive.

Thanks a ton. I'm at a loss at this point. I have went through all the XML I could find and tried everything j know how to do. XML and smali edits aren't a big deal for me to do. Just don't know what to edit. They're so many of those damn files and of course they wouldn't name it like conversation background.XML/small. It has to be some off the wall ****. But as well that's ok . I appreciate all your help. My wife has wanted this mms and others did too a while back. Once its done gonna post it for everyone and finally get my wife happy. lol

Try the twframework-res. You control the mms font color from editing the twcolor02.

Would it be in the draw ables folder?

Also. I was able to get it to turn white by swapping the file Res/values/drawables.XML. but that broke mms. Just for information to help.

I believe it was under values/colors.xml. The list of "TWcolor_001, TWcolor_002", etc.

EDIT: Find the grey color you're looking for in an image editor like Gimp or photoshop and search the colors folder for that hex code, I'm sure it'll pop up.

sleshepic · May 3, 2012

also check the drawable folder for something like "listitem_backgound.xml" or "conversationitem_background" might do it....

i decompiled the TW framework. the color code for the background is ff2b2d30. I searched the colors xml and couldnt find that code. so i looked for anything close to it. still no dice. thinking i may have to go another route on this and do a different style. you wouldnt think changing the background color would be such a ***** to do but then again it is me doing it and my luck never seems to be the greatest. haha

It is not in the xml it is in the smali files if you are using apkmanager to decompile it will be in the projects\Mms.apk\smali\com\android\mms\ui\ folder

The color I gave before is the stock color white would be

Line 16051 const v1, 0x1
