I'm trying to change the status icons using ROM Toolbox Pro, but its saying my ROM isn't deodexed. I'm not sure what this means or where to find this. Does anyone have any idea?

Basically it just means the apks have been recompiled so that all of the data is contained in that one file rather than an apk and odex file, this allows you to easily make theme changes, etc.

I want to keep my Nexus stock but I really like the text message app from cm. Is there a way to use that one instead of the stock message app? I'm assuming I just have to remove the stock app and then replace it with the cm one right?

Yup. Replace and set permissions. Reboot

Replace it in root explorer.
Yes, just use any file manager with root access and replace it and then give correct permission (rwx-r--r-- I believe)
Also I highly advise you to make a copy of the stock app and place it somewhere in the phone, just in case.
ALSO if you're odexed, this might now work as it also needs odex file and if you are odexed and replaced the app, you might get into the bootloop I think. Never tried it on odexed ROMs, but I think that's what happens

I'm using stock. I'm not sure if stock is odexed. How do I get the app? Do I just unzip a cm update zip?

Did you do flash any ROM? If not, you have odexed ROM. Make sure to make a nandroid backup before doing this as I believe you might get into the bootloop.
You can easily get the app by doing that.

All ive done with the phone is unlock the bootloader and root it. So your saying that I should install a CWM and do a nandroid? Won't installing that wipe my phone?

No. Before you screw with anything in system, make a backup. If you break something, a simple restore will fix it.
The cm message app is system/app/messaging.apk. Extract it from the cm zip and follow the directions above to install it.

You won't go into a boot loop, only thing that will happen is either the Mms.apk won't show up in the launcher or it'll FC. Sometimes, using the newest one from nightlies will cause FC. One has been posted in the apps section that works and has what you're looking for. Its better to use any root explorer app and copy it to /system/apps and fix permissions. And like someone said, make a copy of your original Mms.apk and Mms.odex files to your phone..

If you're just stock rooted, you'll have to go in and re-install the messaging app after every reboot because the stock uses the .odex files to create the mms app, but there is a stock, deodexed, rooted ROM here, and you can just load the CM10.1 MMS into it and it'll work fine. That's what I did
Or you could check out Glowfly on the play store.
It's a pop-up notification app with quick reply support.
Made the same recommendation in a similar thread in the Themes and Apps section. I'm not affiliated with the devs. Just wanted to show support for a good app.
anyone know if this app changes the orienation of your photos from landscape to portrait? This seemed to be a bug on all roms using this apk on my old Galaxy s2.

I want to port the lidroid toggles from Simplicity to USSRv7. How would I do this? I have the lidroid res, system ui, and framework res apks.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Change the file extension of lidriod-res.apk to zip
Unzip lidriod-res.zip
goto res/drawable-hdpi
Copy the toggles pngs only
Past them to your unzipped res/drawable-hdpi
zip back up and change extention back to apk
put in flashable zip and flash with system mounted
I just replaced my lidroidres.apk with the one from the ROM I wanted and it worked! Thanks though

Yes just replace lidroid-res.apk to change toggles if your rom uses lidriod in its ui
Any problems just unzip the lidroid-res.apk of the toggles you want & past them into one from your rom
Hey if someone could link me to theme chooser, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the CM one. Also, what would be the necessary build.prop tweaks that would make it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't believe you would be able to get it to work without the CM framework and system files. It would take more than a simple build prop tweak to get it to work if at all. Unless you want to build CM from source you're only other option is to flash CM to use theme chooser.

You can extract the apk from a downloaded version of CM using 7zip if you really want the apk. You can install it but it won't do anything without the framework to support it. Some of the custom launchers have themes you can download from the playstore that might be an option for you if you want a new theme. I would browse in the theme section for advice.

Sorry I'm a noob but is there a way to incorporate the CM framework into my ROM? (Are you talking about framework-res.apk? If so, can I use that on the JWR ROMs?)

Its been over 2 years since I built or modified a ROM but its not as simple as just dragging and dropping framework-res and systemui versions you want into a ROM. There may be other custom ROM's out there with theme chooser if the dev used CM source to build his ROM but tehn why not just use CM? The easiest way I know of to theme a phone is to use a custom launcher and choose a theme off the play store or use an app like UCCW and again look for themes for it in the playstore. UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget) isn't the most user friendly app but it gets the job done. And make sure you back up your phone before making any changes using launchers or theme apps for if they modify systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in any way those changes can't be easily reversed. Always have a backup of your stock ROM.
i have a question for you guys.
i have a N9005 with stock latest rom which is NE4. i am rooted. i tooked secmms.apk and secmms.odex from /system/priv-app and actually decompiled it using apktool for Android itself. i edited the mmsconfig.smali file for certain mods.
the question now is, how do i actually recompile it back? i have secmms_src and secmms_odex folders. how do i recompile it back to odex format for my odex stock rom?
thanks with regards.

Compile it into one single whole apk file and then odex it.

Ya but how to make it to odex?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This may help you but make a back up first.
Find a deodex SecMms.apk and modify it as you need.
Then rename it to Modded_SecMms.apk and put it in system\priv-app or wherever it belongs to, do not remove original one (SecMms.apk, SecMms.odex)
Flash Universal Odex Script
Then odex your file see how to do it in that thread
Remove original non-modded one from system folder with its correcsponding odex file
Rename your modded file to its original pack name SecMms.apk (you shoud find both Modded_SecMms.apk and Modded_SecMms.odex)
Check permission to rw,r,r
Reboot
I guess this is the only possible way.

Try this app you can Oxed the SecMms.apk (and more system apps)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org
(After its done you may need to set the permission on the SecMms.odex manually.)

Does anybody have the stock LGhome apk and or the correct files for the stock gallery? I seemed to have deleted them on my stock backup ROM and can't find the correct files anywhere.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
@carnivalrejectq It's late and people are already sleeping but the fastest way you can probably get it is from a custom stock rom. Or you have to wait for someone to provide it.
I'm on Boost Mobile. I can't seem to find the correct files. I've plucked the gallery files and used root explorer to place them in system apps before but it didn't work. EDIT : Case solved. Close thread if needed. I found both and got them able to work.
