Just bought a Q-mobile for my mom.

Due to weak eyesight, I need to change the background colour, and text colour, and bubble colours, on the provided SMS app so that I can have white text on black background.

I have done a google search and found a lot of 'root the phone, get the apk, decompile, change, recompile' soutions, but isn't there a simple, straight forward solution to do this?

If not, do i need to install a different SMS app?

And do the luanchers do this as well? Allow you to change background and foreground colours on stock/builtin apps?

I think you can't do anything without having root access, just install 3rd party sms app from playstore which full fill your mom's need most sms apps provide different themes. You can change text colours, background etc.

If you want simple app with light and dark theme then you should try this, its very simple and light.

Looks perfect, thanks!

Can you suggest a similar phone/dialer and contact app? Simple, llightweight, and allows me to change background and font colours/themes.

Also, when I install that SMS app, what happens to the stock SMS app? Is that automatically disabled?

This app has two modes, if you wanna use it in standalone mode then disable stock sms app by going in settings--app--go to all tab--find your sms app and disable it then turn on standalone mode in 8sms

8sms has two modes: default and Stand-alone mode.In default mode, please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your device as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages. Instead, Turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your device. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
In Stand-alone mode, please disable or remove the messaging app that came with your device otherwise every new message will be stored twice.

Well i usually don't use custom dialers/contacts but with a quick search i find this

Found that app too, but the problem was this: "This is a trial version with 7 days trial period. When the trial period expired, you will be asked to buy PRO version. You can still keep trying if you haven't decided to buy."

Not sure if it has ads, or nags, or so after the seven days are up. Anyone using this app that can clarify?

I've been using EXDIALER for the past year or so. Mine also had the 7 day thing so I installed the .apk file of the PRO KEY and the app worked fine and is still working fine now as well.

I have the .apk file so you can PM me your email so I can send it to you as long as you're okay with that.

What happened after the 7 days expired? You couldn't use it anymore?

As for the apk, I will need to root it, correct?

After 7 days it keeps pestering you to buy the Pro Key.

No rooting required. Open settings, applications and then tick the 'Unknown Sources' box.
Then open the .apk file in a File Manager and install it.

Did anyone get the 4.3 update for Xperia SP?

 

[wQr hSN]

He’s surely the gaming industry’s most well-known crystal ball-gazer, the man whose views US blog Kotaku once reported on almost 20 times in two months, and, like most analysts, he gets his fair share of stick on gaming forums. His name (drumroll, maestro) is Michael Pachter, and - despite what snotty message board detractors might say - the majority of this Wedbush Morgan employee’s predictions regarding the games industry actually turn out to be right on the button.

Naturally however, there’s an element of risk involved in Pachter’s line of work, a chance that some predictions will go slightly askew, or even prove quite spectacularly wrong. Many of his more wayward prophecies have been swept surreptitiously beneath the carpet of recent history, so GamerSquad decided to go quote-hunting in a bid to find some of the Pachterisms that not only missed the goal, but flew clean out of the stadium for good measure.

Want to see what we mean? Then let's get started:



PREDICTION 1: Sony to walk this gen, Nintendo to finish a distant third
[/B]

PREDICTION 2: WoW won't wow gamers


[/B]PREDICTION 3: HD graphics will be essential


[/B]PREDICTION 4: Bully heading for low grades


[/B]PREDICTION 5: "Father of PlayStation" being groomed for top job? Not quite...

For how much you got it? Is it OK as secondary phone considering the situations of karachi

Could be a problem with the AC adapter.
