Handcent SMS Themed

The only thing stopping me from installing this is every time there is an update I'll have to reinstall it and lose all of my settings.

I went from his original custom apk to his updated one without uninstalling first. You only have to uninstall if you switch from official to custom and vice versa. If he releases an update you shouldn't have to uninstall.

Cool, I'm using it now. I just wish that I could set everything to look stock.

The only reason I like handcent is the pop-up feature actually sends my messages if I put the phone to sleep (unlike popup sms), and the icon is better on this one. I couldn't change the icon with bettercut on helix launcher.

Anyway, if someone can figure out the settings to make this look like the stock messaging app, (colors, what dates to show, etc.) then I would gladly give you my thanks. And I guess a google wave invite since that's the only thing I could really give away haha.

One more thing, if you could, can you change the color of the box of the person that you are sending the text to, to match the color of the message box?

Ohhhh, you're talking about quick compose. See I don't use any of the popup or quick compose features so I haven't noticed, but yes, I'll fix that and have an updated version tomorrow. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys!
