Custom Android MMS/SMS application from source code?

Question

Okay here's the deal:

I want to download the full source of the MMS/SMS application that ships with Android phones. I want to be able to modify it, and add a little custom functionality to it.

I am developing using Eclipse, and I'm on Windows 7. I have noticed that there is now a Git for Windows, but I am pretty lost in it and not sure how to integrate everything with Eclipse.

Basically, I want to just get it to the point where I have all the source code visible in Eclipse and be able to see the app run JUST like the built-in texting/MMS app that is already on my phone. Then I'll know that I can modify it and proceed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

There's a mirror of the SMS/MMS app on GitHub here. Just import that to Eclipse and customise away.
