@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

My answer :
Wasnt you happy when i was posting all my posts off topic from the theming of your themes ?
Did i help you or i just imagine your words below ?
Without my help, you would never be able to go deeper in your own theming which comes now to a real development via xmls and smalis !
I wanted sincerely to help you but hey, like you said, you seem to be more proud or ashame for that... i still remember how you posted in my threads with rage and crap **** ...
dont count on me ever to help you and wrong if you think that we dont need help from someone else... ​
======================================================================
If you come by my thread and like my work, i ask nothing more than a little thanks for the effort.
If you dont, then just give me credits if you use it.
Thanks for reading, i wish you a great day ☼​

Thanks for the feedback, working for me and reported by others as working too.
Download and place the zip into your sd card
Uninstall your existing whatsapp app
Use Rootexplorer to drag the app into /data/app or /system/app
Set permissions to all by long press on the app to pop up the menu
reboot the phone and you will see your whatsapp application installed in the grid.
Do you still have place on /system ( internal memory ) ?
Do you have already a whatsapp apk in /data/app ? If yes, it will overwrite the one of /system.
Did you move the app to sd ? ( a2sd scripts or whatever )

[Guide] Port jelly bean!

Start with a pure sdk system dump and deodex it - or use one of the dumps floating around here that are pre deodexed
you need to basically merge it with your latest ics build - I used my last compile of cm9 as a base but needless to say the closer the base is to aosp the better. You'll want to keep as much of the sdk pristine as possible basically just add in the things you need that are device specific such as:
any platform named hw libs from /system/lib/hw
your egl files from /system/lib/egl
your modules from system/lib/modules
wifi, bluetooth, and gps related files from /system/etc
you also will need your idc and keymap files and all the other device specific items out of /system/usr folders so your input methods will work - no idc files means no touch screen
the above error looks like a framework and lib are not getting along. Make sure the frameworks and all of the root /libs are sdk originals you can copy libs over to your sdk port that are not included however just don't overwrite any
make sure you properly modifiy the build.prop to match your device
copy busybox to the working folder into /system/bin and /system/xbin make sure every binary is executable! symlink /system/bin/busybox to /system/bin/sh and replace the sdk version of toolbox bin with the ics version
in ramdisk retain your device.init.rc but replace everything else with what comes in the sdk ramdisk - download the sdk properly and extract the ramdisk as cpio.gz extract it and use it as a base only adding the device specific .rcs that you need. If init.rc needs a few changes make them but as a rule you can usually just use your device.init.rc and keep the master clean. Be sure that init.traces.rc is in your ramdisk it's a new file for jellybean and it gives a crapload of errors when it's not there.
try not to load any wifi modules for initial tests - theres some changes that are screwing mine up if I set my modules to load on boot- it prevents a full boot.
Send your thanks here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28020178&postcount=36 Thanks randomblame!:laugh:

Ramdisk diff
This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device. Some notes that are not shown in the diff are that /sbin/adbd and init changed -- These are both binaries so they need to be manually taken from the jb ramdisk.

Files changed in /system/
This is a list of files that have changed in JB... Please check /vendor/{device vendor}/{device name}/ and[/SIZE][/SIZE] /device/{device vendor}/{device name}/ in the CM source to make sure they don't overlap... If any do, just keep your cm9 versions.

Yeah I think XDA is for helping each other and to try to develop, I mean not only develop Android thingys, but to develop ourselves, so please help each other in peace and respect anyone who tries to do something for our community, even if he/she is a beginner developer. Only thing I can wish to the OP is good luck and to never give up! Ask one of the more veteran Developers for help, it's not a shame, but never forget the respect to each other.

Finally someone said this... I am really surprised how everyone call themselfs good developers and they are in fact not good people at all. Reading some of these replies I can only say that you guys disappointed me. You should help the beginners and encourage them to develop something and learn more by I dont know , giving them links where they can learn things, pm them with solutions and other tips, or not telling them anything at all.

How much is your created port zip?
Our system can handle around 115mb
If is above,can you light the system by creating a folder,in where meta inf and system is,called data and put some apks from system/app
of course must give and the correct permissions in updater script:
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0777, 0777, "/data/app");

I don't think so, because every customization that you do will require root permission
and it will work when the phone is rooted, so when you un-root the phone
the customization will be gone.

Your customisation won't necessarily disappear, but the functionality will probably stop, with many mods requiring rooting in the first place. Anyway, why would you want to unroot after going to the bother of rooting and customising? The alterations possible are endless!

[Tutorial]What Are The Exactly Permissions To Replace Apps

Hey Guys i have often seen lot of Question regarding the same "How to set the file permission,sorry i am a noob please explain?"
well this we come across on all threads, i post this quickly.​
Reason being simple that we suggest some people to do as said below:
1) copy the file XXXX to your Internal or External sd-card.
2) push the file XXXX to sytem/xxxx folder.
3) set permissions to rw-r--r-- blah blah blah.
4) reboot your phone and see.
Then comes the question again from the same people as below:
Hey,
1) I have done accordingly, but really confused regarding File permission though please explain?
2) How to set File Permission?
3) what is rw-r--r-- blah blah i cannot get it? etc.
So this Simple Guide will defenetly help the people with the same.
Let me not go in depth regarding the same,Since this excellent Tutorial from Matt Doyle explain's in more detail about it
Understanding File Permissions- by Matt Doyle
In order to set the file permission all you need is to have Root explorer or similar type of File manager app been installed on your phone, with Root access.
when you open the File manager you see all your files and folder listed there, thats not our main concern, but something below each one of those file's or folder's, what we are really interested in like:
I take an example ofSemcAlbum.apk on my XP
Example 1:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and when you select Permissions in that pop up menu it appears as below.
Example 2:
as you can see in the pic above the permission is set to rw-r--r-- (644)
So in order to set the right Permission for a file, after you have copied the file to the relavent folder, all you have to follow is the below steps and also the Table guide below it.
1)Any File Manager app like Root Explore installed with root access (Do ensure to Mount as R/W (Read/Write)).
2)Find the File which you have copied to the appropriate Folder for which you have to set Permissions with the above installed file manager app.
3) Long press on the file to open a pop up menu as shown in Fig 1 above.
4)Set Permission accordingly ( been suggested by people for you) using the table guide below as reference.
5) Then reboot your phone for the same (Permission set) to take effect.
Table Guide for Reference
----------------------------------
No- Box is Unchecked, Yes- Box Checked
So, for example:
777 is the same as rwxrwxrwx
755 is the same as rwxr-xr-x
666 is the same as rw-rw-rw
644 is the same as rw-r---r--
I do hope this Guide will come in handy to all those people who want to set filepermission, but need some clarity upon the same.
