anyone else think it could be an HTML file like some of the themed regular wallpapers? Think about it.. the HTML theme backgrounds change from time to time.. and the sms background changes when landscaped. It isn't impossible is it? something to look into, and I will keep hunting as well. By the way thanx for the png fix app! helped a lot.

I have been searching and converting since I unltrasn0w was released and I could finally upgrade to 3.0. Still no luck...I will continue searching, Lets find these backgrounds!

Found a default SMS in [root]/Applications/MobileSMS.app/Default-smsanswer.png

nothing happened when replaced it with a different version.

This is rather irritating. I've been through every image available and nothing.

I can only guess 2 possibilities:

Could it be in "accelerate". This is a behavior based on the accelerometer (being flipped to landscape/portrait). Perhaps it is an all white background built into "accelerate"

Which leads me to the next possibility;
There might not be a file at all. The ChatKit framework includes everything EXCEPT the background PNG.

So, if there is none, Where could we put an image?
Either way, I'm sure someone will find a way.

i think he might have something there.
it would make sense if they removed a background image therefore making it impossible to "replace" an image. the only fix then would be create a process of some sort that would add an image to the sms.

another thought is that...notes app has a background..and it also suppots portrait and landscape...soo..i dunno.

The notes app is a very good point. Why would apple change SMS wallpaper but not notes? Seems counterproductive.. Which leads me to believe there is something we are missing. A few posts up someone mentioned something about accellerator.. Can you provide the path to get to it? Thanx.

The accelerate might not be that helpful.

I opened /Applications/MobileNotes.app/Default.png , I then edited the image to test this out. no change. But there are 30+ images that make up the UI Which support portrait or landscape for "Notes.

You have to jailbreak and use a program to look at the files on your phone. If you're unsure about files etc, I wouldn't mess with it.

google "iphonebrowser"

Could the new notes that support landscape be the same as the sms bubble as so far as the application can manipulate the image so that it takes up the whole space when rotated? So for instance the line and background in the notes app when rotated get manipulated in the same way as the text bubbles do, thus leaving with no real background image?

one way to find out... edit them all with an X and save the originals and then rotate... see if they changed. I'd do it but im late for work already.

I'll do this when i get home.

It's interesting that apple included all these "default" backgrounds that don't do anything.

[0okami.digital]

I got some free time coming up to dig through some *.artwork files, but i need someone to explain real quick how to extract the *.artwork coming from Iphone 3.0. Just another place to search.

Also, could it be the SMSBackground.png was commented out somewhere? Can we look at the 2.2.1 and see how/where it specifies the use of the SMSBackground.png? strings? Just brain storming with little info, sorry.

or can someone zip up the mobileSMS from a 2.2.1 and post it up somewhere for me to look at?

Thanks.

Defaults do actually do something - when you launch the app, the zoom in effect, that's what that image is. I modified one and when i launch the app i see the modified image (picture of the app) zoom in and then the app appears but the modified image disappears. think of it like a "splash screen".
I got an idea for this coming up later.
