Change color scheme of messaging app? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is there a way to easily change the color scheme of the messaging app? I flashed the mod to disable waking on sms, but it changed the color scheme of the messaging app. I'd like to get it back to default if possible.
Here is a link to the mod:

idk if this is the answer. but these are my 0.02 cents. open your txt messaging then click the menu button on the left. then settings. then you can change the bubble style and backround. Hope that answered your question?

[Q] Default Picture in Messaging App

I recently installed Resurrection Remix 2.4 and have an issue with the messaging application. They have updated the messaging application and now the default icon for contact is a blue droid. It hurts my eyes even at moderate brightness. Is there a way to go back to the grey droid as the default picture?

Replace the icon in the messaging app's res/drawable-hdpi folder with another one you do like.

An easier way is to place the application onto your homescreen and change the icon with your own picture, if your launcher supports that feature (such as Apex Launcher) But that will only change the one on your homescreen and not in your app drawer.

Probably the easiest is to install a 3rd party SMS app like Go SMS Pro or Handcent.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the icon in a .apk.
If you mean the app icon you could use a launcher like nova,download an icon pack and change any icon you want.

I think he means the notification tray icon. If not... that's what i'm thinking of. Almost never know whether it's an e-mail or text that i received, except that text messages give you that shortcut right on the lockscreen.
Go SMS

GO SMS Ugly Icon!

Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Go SMS Icon on the default Samsung lockscreen, I use Go SMS for default sms and I'm running Nova launcher so have changed the go sms icon to ics icon. But on my lockscreen the go sms icon cannot be changed, is there away?? I have tried a few ICS lockscreen but none work to how I want, either double lock screen or look awful!
Can someone shed some light on best way.
Thanks

AFAIK, the icon cannot be changed on the default lockscreen. Only the application. The only way I can see to change the icon would be to edit the Go SMS Pro apk and change the icon file to the one you want. This however will need to be done again after every reboot.
Another way would be to create your own small application with the Icon you want, and have that just directly open Go SMS Pro.

Thank you for the reply... Hmm that's a shame as I do like the default lockscreen just the Go SMS Pro app looks awful on there!
I'm not sure how to create my own icon, was hoping that I could copy the stock messaging icon and replace the Go SMS one in root...
Oh well will just stick with Holo launcher now!
Thanks.

i think you can decompile the apk, change the icon sign it and install it and it will have the icon you replaced by default. but its not such an easy process.

Hmm think I might skip that, probably end up causing more damage than its worth!
Thanks though..

If you install widget locker, you can customize the lock screen using any combination of icons-to-apps that you want.

my thought exactly. or any replacement lockscreen that supports it.

notification ui color change

Is there a way to change the color of the notification ui?
I open the "stock android" app today and it changed the color of my notification ui from Grey to blue without messing around with it.
Is there a way to change the color back to the original in the settings somewhere (I've been searching for some hours now, changed theme and all, uninstalled and reinstalled nova and changed nothing) without installing an app for the notification ui?
I have nova launcher installed FYI.
@EmbleerFrith
I think you mean the quick settings background. It changes according to the background you set on your launcher in theory. If you open MiFavor launcher without making it default, then change the background on it, THEN hit the home button to get to the stock Android launcher, it should fix itself. I did that before, and it seems to work
Honestly I'd love to change the whole quick settings UI altogether, but I have no idea how to mod systemUI
I have noticed that it only changes if I change the theme of the phone and only then
Yes There is
Yes there is a way. You have to decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk and do some smali code color changes. I have mine set to one color all the time.

I think it changes according to the wallpaper color set in default launcher.

can you make a guide or something? Maybe theme the B09's (or B35's) systemUI and share it somewhere? This would be a nice addition to @raystef66's ROMs, as an add-on
