[APP] Mms.apk Contact Box Fix for CodeROM

[mikko3024]

I patched a copy of the Mms.apk to remove the green bars behind the contact photo.

Tested with CodeROM NexusAce and CodeROMv2, should work CodeROMv1.

Note:
Skins feature is disabled.

Instructions:
1. Download the modified Mms.apk (Attached file)
2. Make a backup of your old Mms.apk in /system/app (Use Root Explorer).
3. Mount /system/app as R/W
3. Copy the modified Mms.apk to /system/app
4. Set the permissions to ---rwxr-x
5. Chane the file owner and group to 0 - root
6. Reboot
7. Hit the Thanks button if it worked

Update:
- Smaller file size.

Maybe i can help or give you an idea:

1. The Skin Option in menu is activated via the preferences.xml included in the MMS.apk file (you can copy from XXKPE, and try to install the MMS.apk, however whatever skin you select it does not change) which i think you need to do the next part.
2. The actual implementation of the skin is under the coding of classes.dex, which i dont know how to decompile.

thanks for this, can't get past this one though...
I found out that there must have been a miss declaration of an image res file in the class.dex or in the Mms.apk's before compiling. Its calling progressbar_indeterminate4.png instead of quickcontact_badge_small_unpressed.9.png or quickcontact_badge_unpressed.9.png from the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file.

Mikko3024, how did you get by the problem? was it via the XML files?

The problem is in the classes.dex of the apk.

I copied a properly working classes.dex from another version of the Mms.apk and patched the res files to match the appearance of CodeROM's Mms.apk. But the new classes.dex either does not support the skin features or there is something in conflict.

As mentioned by vertcam9, preferences.xml activates the skin selection in the settings part of the app, but does not apply any changes whatever skin is selected. Proper classes.dex is necessary.
