Help (Solved)Need Help with Decompiling LGUSMms.apk

Fellow Motioners,

I would really like to decompile LGUSMms.apk so that i might theme it and have a fully operational themed stock messaging app. I love the look of the inverted mms.apk that is posted in the forum, but I'm not crazy about the lack of mms. My goal is to take what we already have and give it that same look, hoping that mms functionality is not lost in my aesthetic chages. I've used APK Manager and APK Tool and keep getting the same result with both programs. The following is the error message I get:

java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

Does anyone know what this means? If so, what can I do to fix this? What am I not doing? I'm tired of being a "user" and would like to contribute what I can. Any help is appreciated!


P.S. I did some searching on xda and found a stock Gallery app that works just fine for me. Scrolls side to side and fits the dark color scheme I'm oh so fond of. Also an "Awesome Beats" style DSP Manager, which also works fine for me. Didn't mess with the camera apk though.
 
I'd like to ser the gallery app and beats app ur useing

I thought this was about apk multi tool, I just read briefly. I would also recommend apk multi tool though.

Lol. It is and it isnt. I'm having the problem i posted in the OP, but i also wanted to share what i found. I havent had the chance to get on my computer yet. But when I do, first thing I'm doing is downloading apk multi tool.


UPDATE: apk multi tool works wonders! i have the list part of LGUSMms.apk inverted, except for the names of who you're txting with. It's back to work I go...

Thanks again, 2Gig and omgbossis21.
