MMS features increased MMS size up to 1MB, also a link for people who carrier max is 500kb, quick reply, emoji and all sorts more.

Awesome! Thanks. This was one of the reasons I used handcent/other 3rd part mms apps because I wanted a dark theme. This looks great! Just one personal thing that I don't like/want the contact pic next to every message in the actual chat (not the conversation list). Any way to add an option to remove that?

Also is there a dark version of the default jb email app? (not gmail)
I found some but they seem to be only for CM10 variants, not stock..

Just what I've been looking for! Running well on Muzzy's ROM.

Anyone know of a themed email apk to match this?

Can't get the mms app to work man... After I flash it it says "messaging app has stopped", when I restore the stock mms it works fine, then I delete it and reflash yours and I get the same error...

How can we get the holo theme to stay? Delete old email apk first then install this one?

alternative installation procedure

Installation Method for Nexus 4 (confirmed working for me)

Download apk and push or copy to system/app

Gmail 4.2.1 Dark Holo-r5
Instead of this and deleting / overwriting files, you can do:

push the desired apk to the /systtem/framework folder
renaming said apk to the equivalent apk in the app folder (ie Mms.apk, whatever gmail is in the app folder)
chmod 0644, chown 0.0 if required
restart

it should have the same effect, havent experienced any cons to this.

i think i saw this done at the original thread by jase, always wanted to ask why this works.

Now, if for any reason you wish to revert to stock/ previous, just delete the apk at framework then reboot then its done.

Thank you for making this mod :)

Works perfect on Xylom ROM 4.2.2 with Matrix v7 kernel, and I changed the icon to ICS blue, looks great. Now I just need an inverted people / contacts app.
