*scratches head* I'm...at a loss here. Although I wonder if I can decompile MMS from a different phone...*tries*
 
AHA! Jet, did you decompile b08 or b08c mms? I made a breakthrough, here. For some reason my machine can't compile the b08c mms.apk. But b08 works without a problem!

That brings me to my next question....

Can I use this b08 Mms.apk in a b08c ROM? Or would it break stuff.

Mine is B08c and there is a difference between the two... its the only apk that they modified in the B08c update package that we extracted... It may work but they definately changed something in it

Hrm....This is kind of baffling why...Well while I'm testing different stuff...I'm gonna download a different b08c...OH maybe I should try the stock b08c in case I touched something and broke it...I'm at a loss why b08 works but not b08c...but hey I'm making progress....OR maybe my computer just needed to be rebooted...its possible...stupid compaq...

Try this... decompile the B08 mms and edit it... recompile it... and then place the new resources.arsc inside of your B08c one... they didn't edit the layout or anything so the xmls from both should be completely the same...

Hmm...I think its magically working now...Don't know HOW...but let me try another b08c ROM just to make sure...

Tell me about it....now that I have it working I can theme this APK finally...

Good luck... now all you have to do is experiment... which is the hard part... :-\ ... from my experience nothing ive edited so far works or looks right on the first try

Well, if I can successfully pull this off...I'll let you know what values I edited and where they were...because there are a TON of xml files in this app

Yeah I know... I looked over it a little... its not as hard as it looks though... some of them refer to a central xml for stuff like font size and color... change the central one and you change them all...

When you're doing colors...are you doing hex codes...or editing a central file to call for colors...?

You can do either... if whatever you're trying to edit references another xml like this...

android.textappearence=@styles/********

(The syntax I just used isn't correct)
Then you go to style.xml in the values folder and modify the style that is referenced (I represented it by the stars)... if you want you can declare your own style in style.xml and make whatever you want to change reference it

Otherwise If the color is declared directly in the xml like this:

Android:textcolor=#ff33b5e5

Then just edit the hex value

And if you see something like this:

Android.textappearance=?********

Then it is referencing a predefined color in the framework-res...

Sorry if this is confusing and I may be a little wrong... but so far this is what I've learn from my experimenting

That will be very helpful for me...I changed the color of the timestamp but nothing else so far will take, so the android.textappearance is probably what's screwing with it...also, I may have found a batch color operation for GIMP if anyone else uses that for recoloring...I'll post a link if it works...

Took me forever to figure that much out when I first started... There wasnt a single tut anywhere that could help me.... also another thing I figured out or atleast I think I figured out... the ff in the hex code controls opacity.... 00 for transparent and ff for opaque... idk if you know hexadecimal or not but the numbers are 0 through f

Yeah, I haven't played with hex colors in forever...but there's a lucky website to remind me of what i want...

colorpicker.com :D

Also, I'm gonna test the batch image color thing for GIMP...Will post back in a bit...

Note to self...Do not try to open 880 images at once....Lets try 10 at once instead....

LOL!!!! I did 40 once and they were all high Res so eventually my computer ran out of ram and crashed

Lame...it won't do batch colors because the images are all either greyscale or indexed...not rgb...

You can manually change it... but that would defeat the purpose

You can try using Fast Tone image viewer... I've used it to batch resize and rename before... it has alot of batch options... haven't looked at them all though

Ill have to look into that...I've themed probably 140 images now...gimp and i are starting to not be friends..
