[Q] MIUI SMS Background

[streety12]

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my MIUI.

I can't change the SMS background , I have a few themes which include new sms conversation background but it does not change. It's always white. Even with my WP7 theme where my background should be dark . Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Hey,

Found some info over the weekend on 1 of the miui website threads about this...
they've changed the name of the sms backgrounds in the latest version, I'm on my phone at the mo' so to save writing an essay il post my sms mtz file.

I think you only need to change the conversation list bg to window_background_texture.png

but I changed all 3 (see inside file for comparison)

hey,

open your theme.mtz or backup.mtz from the miui folder (change file extension to .zip)

look for com.android.mms in the zip

this file has no extension you need to add .zip to open it (com.android.mms.zip)

look inside \res\drawable-hdpi and change the following .png names:

conversation_list_titled_bg.png > window_background_texture.png
conversation_list_titled_bg1.png > window_background_texture1.png

then put everything back in its orignal state/ format and apply via theme manager.

Thanks for the specific explanation !
Btw, when I try to change some app notification tone (for example: Whatsapp),
and I choose from Theme, it's empty, there used to be the theme's tone list,
is it have to do with the change too ? is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks again !

look inside \res\drawable-hdpi and change the following .png names:

conversation_list_titled_bg.png > window_background_texture.png
conversation_list_titled_bg1.png > window_background_texture1.png

This will break the background in the conversation list screen.

Make a copy of the conversation_list_titled_bg.png file, rename it to window_background_texture.png, then add this to the archive.

Make sure you have both conversation_list_titled_bg.png and window_background_texture.png files in the archive.

Hi Srinukota, welcome to the forum.
This thread is six years old, and probably for an earlier version of miui.
What device do you have? Rooted? What version of MIUI?
The more info you give, the more chance someone might know the answer.
