Inverted holo messaging app - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not rooted and i want to continue using the stock messaging app but I would like to have a black background and holo blue text, to match the rest of my ui. Any way of doing this without rooting? Many thanks, Nath.

I downloaded a inverted MMS.apk, I haven't installed it because it asks if I want to apply it as an update to the stock app. I have no way to backup with root. Also I haven't rooted as I'm finding it very useful having a working banking app.

[Q] themed icons

HI guys I have a simple question. I noticed that if you have a theme with moded icons for a certain app and if that app updates via playstore, that app's icon will revert to norrmal. And no matter how many times I flash the theme the icon wont revert to its modified icon. Any solution for this would love to be able to fix this

How can I change my system font to Roboto Light?

If I need to root, that's fine. Is there an app in the Play store that will do this? I see quite a few Font Installer apps, but I know that not all of them work correctly on different phones and OEM rom's.
On my Nexus 4 I had a Roboto Light zip file that just told the system to use Roboto Light (as opposed to actually overwriting fonts). Can the same method be used on this phone?
Thanks!

I use Font installer by JRummy. Has tons of fonts to choose from. Have to be rooted. The weird thing about it is, that when you find a font u like, and install it, the phone will reboot, and the font will look the same as it was. You have to go into settings/display/font type, and if u look at roboto, it changes that one to the one u installed. Just choose roboto, and it will be the font u downloaded with the app....
Great, thanks! Is there an easy way to undo this if I want?

The app makes a backup of the stock font that can be restored .....

The stock 4.4 launcher is great but it lacks one feature that is it cannot create folders in drawer.

KK launcher is a modified version of the official android 4.4 launcher but folder is the drawer are still not implemented, hopefully the devs will do it!

Nova isnt nearly as good looking as the stock launcher. It has many more customizations though.
KK Launcher seems better but is it a modified version of official launcher or is it completely coded by KK App team?
Anyways thanks to both of you guys for the replies

[Q] Removing Google apps off KitKat

Hi All,
I'm looking to remove many of the google apps off my rooted nexus 4. I'm currently running stock KitKat 4.4.2 straight from OTA update.
Many apps such as google drive, google+, hangouts, play games etc I won't be using, yet they are taking up space in my phone.
How can I permanently remove these off my phone? Can it be done? through CWR? through ADB?
If this is not possible, do I need to flash an AOSP custom ROM? I've not opted for this route so far as it's a pain to swap over apps and themes onto a new ROM and I want to experiment with eXposed framework too.
Thanks
If you are rooted just use titanium backup or you can just disable them and they'll disappear from the app drawer

I recommend disabling as removing can coz some minor issues if it breaks rom

Why have you posted this twice at the same time? Root and use titanium or a root explorer to remove system apps, make sure you know what you're doing as removing some system apps can break your rom.

simply delete .apk and .odex in /system/app and /system/priv-app

This. Just make sure to backup everything first, as there can be unintended consequences. Most apps are safe to remove though.
