Help Changing SMS Color theme?

[chrono1g]

Is it possible to change the "chat bubble" color(s) in the messaging app? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that touchwiz 4.0 supported this feature.

It did. Now it doesn't.

The recent firmware update did away with the SMS schemes and just left us with the default. *cry* (...but why?? )

People who don't like that can go with Handcent SMS or GoSMS Pro. I especially liked the latter. Unfortunately both stop Missed Message Flasher from working - and I miss far too many texts/calls to do without that wonder-app. So I'm stuck with the painful Samsung-dictated default.

Originally it was possible by a method explained In this guide but as previously said it's not possible if you've upgraded the firmware.

The original Message app on 2.3.3 had the extra colors, 2.3.4 onwards' Message app took them away.

I use Handcent and this has a 'missed message' feature, you can set it to remind you that you have had a text message, as many times and at what intervals you like

Personally I like GoSMSPro. Many themes, reminders and a feature I couldn't do without called Quick Reply. Quick Reply REALLY needs to be built into the stock Android messaging system.

On another note, Emoji support is nice too so I can send/receive them with all of my iOS friends.

Did the quick reply automatically work for you? Whenever I click in the box "Type here to text" the keyboard pops up, and I start to type, but nothing shows up on the screen... Like it just doesn't work... It wasn't a huge deal breaker for me, but like you said, it's an amazing feature and I wish I could figure out why it doesn't work for me

Works just fine for me.
