[THEMED APPS] ICS Holo Style Messaging Contacts Calculator

[CurtJRees]

I found some stock apps a little too different to ICS's stock Holo theme so I decided to fix that.
These will only work on deodexed ROMs.
All icons by Zer0_Cool

Mms (with/without Next Line Mod):

All credit for the Next Line Mod must go to mikko3024 since it was his modified Mms.apk I themed.


Contacts (updated with fixed bottom actionbar and new icon):

Calculator:

Simply place the required apk file in /system/app/
Oh and make sure to backup the old apk file just in case.

UPDATE
I've seen some users having problems getting some of my apps to work.
If the app does/doesn't work for you could you post a comment telling me, please list the app you tried to install and the ROM you are running.

I copied this to system/app with root explorer and rebooted. But then had no mms app in app draw.

Edit: I am using nova launcher in case that makes a difference?

 

[Masix]

Thanks! This looks really nice. Also good for battery!
I can still see the app in my app drawer btw (Apex launcher)

 

[CurtJRees]

I haven't tested it with Nova Launcher yet.
Did you set the permissions to rw-r--r--?

Yup. Also tried restarting Nova Launcher.
Could it be my Rom?
I am using MCR Ir10

It might be, I've only tested it on the CM9 KANG build

This uses the blue color from ICS. I love it and want to install it, but I get an error parsing the package...

I'm stock everything unrooted on Verizon - is that the issue?

****... I placed it in system/app and rebooted and i also find it missing from my app drawer..

Im on stock everything , exept it is rooted ...

To anyone who is stock, this will not work on stock rom, as you have to be deodexed in order to use themed system apps.

Thank you.

First time I'm tempted to forego the warranty and root the phone. Assuming that's all that's needed?

Sorry I'm not familiar with the term 'deodexed.'

No.. You need custom rom also .. The one whcih has all deodexed..

Deodexed means :

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

I have only rooted phone, with custom rom, but i cant use it also... As artvandelay440 said, stock ppl cant use it

Cheers

edit : I rooted phone, because it is easy to unroot it .. but im keeping stock rom still ... i want ota upd and rest.. And to be honest, im bit tired with flashing.. (one of the reasons i bought GN)

No foregoing warranty... If needed just unroot and you'll have your "warranty" back! =] And you need a deodexed rom... so you need to install a custom rom... such as GummyNex, AOKP, or CM9 builds, etc.

[appie72]

Ooow! This one is nice mate! Finally a black one without the white lines between te messages! Many thanks!

 

[McDeadagain]

Too bad there is not a choice for those less adventurous to just change the color scheme.

Ah, well - looks good on your phones!
