Transparent MotoMms

[Archangel]

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.

**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!

This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.

Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!

Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.

Did you try my inverted MotoMms in my inverted thread?

I did and it's nice but I'm more of a stock dark holo type.

Ohhh gotcha well if someone stops reporting me for putting up apps that are not specifically for the Moto X than I will post that here once it is done! LOL Just kidding, it will be either here or on the Ultra forum as that is the closest one for the Mini which is the phone I have.

OK, so I gave your inverted MMS another try.... And it has grown on me, sticking with it as I cannot stand the white background. Any chance of matching contacts? Thanks again for your work!

Any chance we could get this as an exposed framework module? My droid maxx doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.

I am really enjoying your work! I hate to pester but do you think you could give us choices of icon color too? i'm not a fan of the dark blue SMS icon we get stuck with when using either this or the blacked out one...it would be nice to have a few downloads that use a different icon color but keep the transparency or darkness....just a thought. none the less, great work and we all appreciate what you've done for us and our phones

Always!

 

[Archangel]

You all actually like the green icons LOL??? Okay I will load a stock trans and inverted Mms here. If someone could please load a stock Mms from your phone here so I can pull the pngs out of them, thanks!
