Black and Blue Themed Google Play Store 3.5.15

For those who want a little color in their market, here is a black and blue themed Google play market. This is not my original work, all credit goes to B-boy. All I did was take his themed market and re-package it for use with the galaxy nexus.
Flash in CWM as you would with any zip. Make sure you save your original copy of vending.apk somewhere else just in case or make a nandroid back up before flashing, enjoy!
Remember Google Play will now be renamed to Black Market Store!
Hit thanks if you like it please!

It doesnt work....flash in recovery but install aborted....

Hi all
work with Foxhound 0.2
Sent from my MZ601 using Tapatalk

No problem installing at CNA 1.5. Matches nicely my black/blue theme. Thanks a lot..

Im using Foxhound 0.2 but i just saw i have instead of vending.apk the market as phonesky.apk
What should i do to install it?

Hmmm wierd what are you running as far as rom? It should work no problem with any rom, if not try to extract the vending.apk from the zip and install over your current market. You may have to rename it according to whether your running a vending.apk or a phonesky.apk

How does it affect updates and such ?
will future updates work normally with this ?
if a major update comes by will it override the current theme ?

Yes you will get regular market updates,,,,when the market itself updates thats a diff thing all together it will default back to whatever the new plain market is until the theme is updated.

Hmm... putting my credit card info into an app that has been changed by a third party developer with no official google affiliation, contact information, or publicly available identity...
*clicks download link* I have a good feeling about this

Cool. Downloading now.

[APP / THEME] Inverted Jelly Bean Google Apps / Black & Blue

Hi everybody,
OP UPDATED :
I just wanted to share these beautifull Inverted Black and Blue Apps. I'm only a messenger here, and had the kind authorisation and support of NCANDIANO to post these here for everybody. Please thank him, and most important, go show your love on ROMDROIDHACKS Forum, which is really great !
I didn't made these, so I'll take no credits. Please thank NCandiano, and ROMDROIDHACKS :
Original Thread here : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
The amazing TWISTED(X) Theme, made by NCANDIANO, will only work with KILLROMS , but as he's a real Gentleman, he made separate inverted apps only package, for us to use with all other Roms (should work on all J.B ROMS.)
What you'll find (Quoted from Twisted(X) Thread) :
Inverted (Black and Blue) GApps & Extras:
TwistedAppsOnly: http://db.tt/DX8nht1F (Contains for your pleasure: Updated Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, MMS, and Keyboard, Google Now, Email, Calculator, Google Talk, Phonesky(market))(This pack can be used with any 4.1.1 Roms. Google Now may have to be installed seperately, however.)
Flashable App-Zips: For your convenience. In the event you'd like to sample one or two flavors, this is the menu. Have at it.
Gmail: http://db.tt/1veBVDpY
Calendar: http://db.tt/nOxUy7b4
Contacts: http://db.tt/ezCjuaxC
MMS: http://db.tt/dXKhhsf2 (This is the Mms from KillRom, with QuickText)
Keyboard: http://db.tt/VbXsfbbI
GoogleNow: http://db.tt/jDLqcwM0 (You need to be on the updated Google Search from the market for this to work. See disclaimer above regarding if it doesn't take on the first flash!)
GoogleTalk: http://db.tt/waeB0yuJ
Email: http://db.tt/rJ4R5xbd
Calculator: http://db.tt/sYd5V5o6
Market(Phonesky): http://db.tt/H2T9fhVz
FOR BETTER AND NICER AND BIGGER SCREENSHOTS, WELL GO TO : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
I particularly advise using these apps with the wonderful RASBEANJELLY ROM, which is already all Black and Blue : http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro
OR of course using the Original Theme with KILLROMS : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/
Instructions for flashable zip : wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot.
If you want to revert to stock apps...then you'll have to flash again your Rom after having performed a cache and dalvik wipe.
Usual Disclamer : I'm not responsible for the damages that these could eventually cause to you phone. I suppose you're grown-up people, so you don't need me to hold your hand...blah, blah,.......BUT these apps should not harm your phone if you follow instructions...

Yay... Looking good.
Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible for me to edit the text (e.g in Gmail) to white?

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

That's strange....
Try this one and report ; you don't need to delete first the old one, just put the new one in system/app folder, it will override it, and the phone will reboot.

Oh, that's must be why then. I had moved out of the /system/app folder the original velvet.apk in my attempts. Now even if I move it back to the app folder, the stock google search app won't appear in the apps list no matter what. I guess I have to flash gapps again and then follow your procedure.

Yes, i think deleting first the file must "disturb" the system somehow...
Try with the Quicksearchbox in OP, and if it doesn't work, then try the Velvet one.

Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.
Remember to check that permissions are set.

Link me to the ROM you're running. That apk is a ***** with different ROMs mostly because its new. I'll build a working velvet for you later tonight and post by tomorrow.

I am using the 9th August release of rascarlo ROM (http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro)! That's very kind of you!

You are right, I should've just renamed it. That was my bad, I thought that following the rootzwiki inverted gmail client installation procedure would work with those apk as well (mount /system for W permissions as root, delete /system/app/gmail.apk and then install the custom gmail.apk as a normal apk file).
For the record's sake, I've tried flashing latest gapps but I couldn't manage to make google search pop again. Maybe I should just do a clean flash of the rom again and try with the correct procedure.

What's strange is that i'm using too Rasjellybean 9th Aug , and i installed this without any issue.
So volapyk is right , this could be a permission problem.
Vaalen , have you tried the velvet apk too ?
And before reflashing default gapps , have you wipe cache and dalvik ?

Flashable Zips- Black Velvet Forthcoming
I added the apks into flashable zips. They're generic zip flashers they'll work in any recovery. Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash. It's not always just the name with the QSB apk, so I'm going to put together a Velvet.apk when I get home later, in the meantime these should make for easier installs for those who don't want to be messing around in the system/app folder. I'm PMing you the links because XDA won't let me link (not enough posts,) If you would update the OP I'd appreciate it.
**Black and blue UI, Framework, and Inverted Notifications Shade are only supported at the HIVE for Axiom ROMs at the moment.
Enjoy your JellyBean!

OP is updated with your flashable zip NCandiano, again a huge thank to you. As i said i just wanted to use these apps on other roms, and pulled these from your beautiful PZ Theme, and with your permission posted here.
But i didn't think you'd come and offer us even better ! That's great mate ! You deserve your own thread for your own work buddy ! I'm just a user who appreciate and share your work.

Flashed MMS apk and gmail apk. MMS apk works great except when you click a thread on the main screen the area you click doesn't highlight. Is this how it should be? Also gmail apk only screen that is dark is the main home screen. When you click to read an email it is white. Normal as well? Thanks!

Updated modded play store for GB?

I'm running CM7.2 on my Evo 4g (Gingerbread).
I changed my DPI to 200 and ran into the Playstore app incompatibility problem. I've been using a modded Playstore (version 3.5) and would love to update my Playstore app to the latest version.
In my searches, I've found links to updated modded Playstore apps, but they are all listed for JB, not GB.
1. Does anyone know of an updated modded Playstore app available for download that works on GB?
2. How exactly would I install it? (I usually use TitaniumbackupPro or Astro File Manager when installing apps)
Thank you in advance.

Go to goo.im and search for the latest GApps for GB
Extract that file and find the "PlayStore.apk" file
Put that on your sdcard
Navigate to where you put it using some file manager
Tap the icon for the PlayStore.apk file and it should give you an option to install
Install it
Enjoy life

SO... you're wanting a PlayStore apk that will work with your DPI settings? Or is the above answer what you're looking for?

The above answer was NOT what I was looking for (sorry Cnexus).
I am looking for an updated Playstore APK that will work with my DPI settings (running 200 DPI and want to spoof 240 to the Market). I'd like it to keep the original sig, so I can still make purchases thru the Playstore app. Basically, I want to keep my DPI at 200 and yet still have full Playstore functionality.
I have a modded Google Systems Framework (GSF) downloaded from the "LCD Density Modder Pro" app... does anyone know if that GSF would continue to work with the updated Playstore apps?

I looked into this, just in case some dev was kind enough to put up a new GApps with the DPI mods... a search on goo.im shows that the last GApps for gingerbread was in 2011. Not exactly the most recent.

[NON-XPERIA/XPERIA][AOSP] Method for downloading Xperia apps from Google Play!

Method for downloading Xperia apps from Google Play!​
Add in build.prop (or change from ro.com.google.clientbase=android-google)
Code:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sonymobile
Add com.sony.device.xml to system/etc/permissions/ - set permission for xml file as the rest of files there: -rw-r--r--
Reboot and optionally clear Google Services Framework data before that (wiping /data works definitely )

Just did the same and now I am able to see apps in play store, perhaps put wiping of /dalvik /cache in op as suggested, for me wiping play store data did nothing
