Was messing around in the MMS and basically stumbled across a little something something in there :D and got in thread clickable avatars to display.....I tried for hours to get outgoing on the right and incoming on the left....Wasnt happening... And after asking Ldrifta a few questions ended up sending him the edits and I/we ended up with this. Oh and also couldnt get the "New Message" button or its header to drop to the bottom of the screen. Really thats all I'll be doing that is if I can get it too. We both tried and wasnt happening.


Big thanks to Ldrifta. He got the text box and text background to shrink and change the background. Thanks homie.


Now the goods :D

permissions shouldn't affect anything, you can literally push the mms to system and see the changes take affect immediately before any rebooting or this or that... :D how you think were able to test these edits so fast? LOL each one was done 1 by 1 and had like 20 tests per item (for me anyway LOL)

4 steps for me..

edit
compile
merge
push

o and BTW (Thanks to ShinySide) here's a little taste of the #2 version of this mod :D

kinda shrunk a few things lol, still a WIP

I have 100s in the trash bin ahaha

I have no clue what's causing it. I blame #2 for the easy way out :D

Btw contacts...... Sucks.... Majorly Ahaha

Just pull the mms out of whatever rom or theme you have handy ;)

Sadly, no go.

If I put LDrifta's mms from 2.5, works fine.

Flash or push Shiny's, not installed.
Flashed first, pushed many times afterward, flashed again.
Open app drawer and watch it appear and disappear.
Reboots all around, before, after, inbetween...
Just not working, Fuzzy's from KY Jellybean did the same thing.
let me ask you this...

if you open any type of file explorer app on your device go to the system/app directory, see if you have 2mms's, 1 being Mms.apk and 1 mms.apk lol

when using adb to push it IS caps sensitive

Nope, they replace each other, same case.
If I use your Mms.apk, it works, if I flash Shiny's or push his, no messenger in the drawer and all icons on the homescreen are gone. push yours back and it is in the app drawer again and I can put a shortcut on the homescreen again.
