Root Cyanogen Theme Verizon Messaging

[benwalburn]

This is just in beta, but I see it as an improvement already. I will update it as I learn how.

Future Goals:
-Change background and font colors
-Finish theming/recoloring images

Make sure to uninstall the original VZMessages app if you have it

I've been trying to edit the XML files, but I don't have a way to make the code show. All I get is some code and a bunch of empty boxes, symbols, etc. I need to know how to edit this in order to do anything significant.

I can try to help with the background/font colors. im pretty sure those are in the XML files

 

[benwalburn]

Yeah, but I cannot view the actual xml code. I need to decompile it or something.

You're more than welcome to help. Modify the xml as you see fit.

I really like this. But i would prefer a darker theme.

 

[j2cool2012]

I would love to help you guys with this. =)

 

[benwalburn]

I'm going to make a dark theme as soon as I can find a way to decompile xml. Blackground with white text and grey headers, basically. This is just practice.

I would gladly take your help.

 

[j2cool2012]

sweet. I can do dark blue pngs throughout the whole thing
Will have a screenshot as proof of concept later.

Uninstall the other one first. Then install the themed app.
