I pulled these from the MintJelly rom. I'm using Wicked3 and they work great. Do not install like a normal apk. Make backup in System/app of the files you want to replace, drop these In the folder, set permissions and reboot

I've not rooted mine yet... I still have to find the best/right way to do it. The S2 was pretty simple, and my first. I am sort of tired of the stock MMS with the white, and the dialer. Thanks man!

Rooting is really simple. Download moto chopper and plug phone in and click a button.

Yeah, everything works fine except for the black text on black background in the massaging app. Thanks anyway! I'm digging the dialer

Black on black is usually a theme related issue.. I suspect that the OP is using a different rom than the guys with the black text issue.

We've seen that alot on Cm/AOKP themes where there is a 'real dark' mod in the rom also that gets enabled. The mms app isn't accounting for the fact that the theme is different than the default. Notach based that black dialer and contacts on the Euro variant of the S4. Where as the North American device runes AMDL stock the Euro runs AMEA and I'd venture that the changes that need to be made are in either framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk. Most likely some specific xml strings that need to be changed in twframework-res.apk since I believe the samsung messaging app makes touchwiz dependent calls.

Same black on black issue on MMS app on OEM AT&T Rom, and even when the Phone App was done just like the other 2, it never changes from White background. It's a shame as I was looking forward to this specific Mod, there's one thing I don't love about my GS4 and it's the white background on those Apps.

Warning

Maybe I haven't done it correctly but, after copying and pasting the file "SecPhone.apk" using ES File Explorer the phone rebooted and the message "updating android" came up for a few seconds. I tried to restore from the backup that I had done before and that didn't work. So basically it worked. I just can't go back to the default settings and every time the phone boots up that message comes up for a few seconds. Does anybody know why that happened?

The 3rd and 4th link go to the same file. Is that correct or am I missing something?

I installed the 3 files and everything works except the Black on Black issue with SMS. Has any one found a fix for that?

EDIT: Figured out the problem for stock at&t users and Black on black issue

I figured out the black on black problem. After you install the dark SecMms.apk Make sure to delete the accompanying SecMms.odex file. This solved the problem and will work fine on stock at&t Roms
Thanks a lot for the tip, as I've been trying this for some time and never figured that out, also, just to add something, after you delete the odex file, just restart the phone immediately as it will begin to give you error if you try to open the MMS app, after the reboot everything is GREAT, well at least as far as I can see.
