Root Anyone use this

[ZeroShot]

found this mms mod looking for hacks for my admire. my hero with cm had these setting and id like to have them back. i want to try it but was woundering if someone could test it first.

heres the file
Free Samsung SCH-R720 Admire Modified Android Mms Software Download in Hacks & Tweaks Tag


heres how to install

This is a modified mms.apk file that can be used on the optimus s. This will make the sms background black instead. I personally like it this way better than stock.

You Must Be Rooted (use at your own risk)

Directions
Save the mms.apk linked to your desktop
drag it to the root of your sd card
open up root explorer which works like any file explorer
find the sd folder and copy mms.apk
then find system/app in androids file system
hit the mount r/o button
find the original mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak
then paste the file you just copied from your Sd root
Once pasted change the permission on the new mms.apk to match the file you just changed to .bak (just long press the file to get permission option)
Done

Once installed you will notice that it still shows as white even though the check box in settings will say black background is set. Go into the settings in the sms app and unclick black background. Go back into the app and recheck black background. Then go back out again and back in and it should be black. You will have more options for customizing the app also.




let me know if anyone trys it. thx

I was going to but I don't know what to use to install it. Plus I know there's people on here that have more the one phone.

This is just a theme or mod for the MMS.apk file.
Myself, having neglected some of the description, I highly do not recommend replacing your current install file. Instead ask somebody to recreate the theme for your ROM. It will be much safer to use that way.
