Hi, I would love to get some dark apps for my device (HTC Magic/Mytouch 3G 32b). Unfortunatelly, all I can find is for newer devices with higher resolutions, and I am not sure that they will work, so I preffer to ask.
Or can someone tell me how to modify Gmail, Gtalk and even sms app if that is possible?
I have found this for example, but would this work for 320x480? :
GMAIL 2.3.4.1.... Blacked Out..
W-WW.droidforums.net/forum/blacked-out/128296-release-gmail-2-3-4-1-blacked-out.html
Did it work?
looking at the same thing, if I understand correctly the gmail app will work as it is stock but modified, the update.zip however may not. I want to try but worried about fudgin it up.
So if you tried, did it work? Anyone else get a dark gmail.apk or theme of some sort to work on a mytouch? (currentli running GY 1.4, flawlessly)
Got it to work, simple process. renamed gmail.apk in system/app/ to gmail.bkp, replaced with dowloaded.apk, matched permissions w/original, reboot... dark gmail. Some sort of root file explorer will be needed

Is there a way to get for example the normal text messaging or music apps to work on the htc hero? Or the motorola messaging app (with the facebook inbox and stuff) to work on it? i went through all the possible roms today and loved the motorola messaging app. i also loved the stock android one too. also if its possible to change the default phone app? and maybe the contacts? i love everything else about the phone. haha. i know some people will be like why did you get a hero? well i really like those apps alot and i love my hero for every other reason. i do know how to use adb and everything. i have tried removing the stock messaging app and putting the stock android one and it doesnt appear. anyone got an idea?
do you have the motorola apps? I would like to test these on Hero.
I have them and would gladly post some, but there is an .odex file to go along with it. if u want to deodexize i think tis called the file then ill gladly post them for you. i just don't fully understand how to do that. i do however have the stock android apps without the .odex in them and it still does not work on the hero after removing the defualt messaging app. anyone got an thoughts onto how to do this? it would be great to have a htc hero mixed with motoblur rom.
That would be awesome! I would atleast like the Happenings app/widget from blur. =)
I really liked the stock Contacts app for the G2. Once I rooted, I forgot to check out what its name was and now I can't seem to find it, even though I've tried several apps. I don't really like the default one that I have with the Virtuous ROM. Is there anyone that can give me the name or a link to the apk? I'd really appreciate it, thank you.
edit: after some digging i found that it is wycontacts (or at least it looks just like it). my question now is: can i install that app in virtuous or would i need to change rom?
I wasn't aware that virtuous had a different contacts app? Either way it still has default app. If you don't have "contacts" in your app list, just open up "Phone" and goto the contacts tab.
As for Wycontacts, I don't know what that is but it is most certainly not the stock contacts app on the G2. If it's in the market, feel free to download and install it. It won't mess anything up.
It's not in the market, and the .apk I found online (v1.1) won't install in Virtuous. I tried installing CyanogenMod 6.1 and it uses the contacts app that I was looking for. I wish I could have both that, and HTC Sense though.
edit: basically i'm trying to get this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623205 to work on virtuous. Is this possible?
I posted this on the CM Slide forum but I haven't gotten any actual help yet, I'm hoping someone here on XDA will be a bit more helpful
CM6/7 comes with the Gallery3D apk, which looks nice. However, it's slow. I hate opening it and sitting there waiting for the pictures to load, especially in folders with a lot of pictures.
It's even more annoying when I am trying to send an email/picture message and I have to sit there for a couple minutes waiting for them to load.
Does anyone have the stock gallery apk, or a good alternative? Or ANYTHING which will help whatsoever?
Thanks
So I don't know what this is, but the thread looked similar.

You could try that out, the file on mediafire there is Gallery.apk, but I haven't tried it out.
Thanks for the quick response
I actually did try doing that, it worked but it was very..unorganized, I guess. And no way to change it around to make it better
I'm currently using JustPictures...hoping to pull the stock gallery from my girlfriends Slide when I see her..but I was hoping maybe someone had a nandroid backup or something.
I looked in the stock Eclair ROM and it' says HTCAlbum.apk. I'll upload the .apk for ya, I hope it helps you out somewhat.
EDIT: AlbumStuffs.zip has 3 files, the .odex and 2 lib files. Lemme know if that helps out Now I'm interested in if this works.
Thank you!
I'm going to try it now, I'll edit this when I find out what happens.
*edit*
No good. I get Application Not Installed.
I'm currently trying to push to /system/app via ADB, hoping that helps.
Any ideas on what might work if this doesn't?
Thanks!
**edit 2**
ADB install gives me Install Failed Missing Shared Library, I'm guessing there's another file that goes with the HTCAlbum.apk, maybe an odex or whatever?
Would you mind maybe doing a quick search for anything associated with it, and upload if you find it? I'd appreciate it
Thanks again.
i would like the samething. i hate that the 3d gallery lags!!
well, I've tried pushing those files, fresh installs, and a few other unorthodox methods... can't seem to get the 2D gallery working from the HTC based Album. I'm not a dev at all, so I really can't do much else to help out here. Maybe a dev will glance over here while they are bored and looking for a project or something? Good Luck though, hope you are able to get this working.
You can't pull the stock gallery for several reasons. One, it's odexed, and our rom isn't, which might be why you get app not installed. Frameworks aren't compatible. Even if it was deodexed, it wouldn't work, since stock htc apps are tightly tied into com.htc.resources.apk and other htc and tmobile framework apk files which cm roms don't have. It is probably impossible to run htc system apps as standalone apps on other roms. Personally I don't have gallery issues running cm7, but if you do you will have to find a market alternative.
You can also select a tool like astro when attaching images when it asks you what you want to use to select an image, if you are having issues with the stock gallery from google.

SMS apps can be found here the one i'm using is the first one, works fine on ICS with this phone i believe it also works on jb but always backup your old sms.apk before install.
- then push new apk to /system/app or put it with explorer app, change permid to xx-x--x--
- reboot
- if problems just delete the apk and rename backup apk so it goes back to original name and location, check permits and reboot.
if want to be extra precautious do nandroid backup first but i don't bother usually unless i'm messing with phone or contact apks personally.

other apps are found in links, i haven't tested talk because i don't use it, calendar and email ones work great, widgets are way less of an eyesore.
credit for these goes to B-boy from androidspin, i am not the developer. just providing these because this phone seems to lack some of these options in forums.
B-Boy has a few other apps on his thread but i didn't post them here they were buggy and contacts didn't work, if anyone wants to try them and get them working and provide details here is the link: http://forum.androidspin.com/showth...Calendar-GTalk-Market-3-5-15-YouTube-Inverted
it's made for another phone so i dont think the contacts will ever work, youtube is probably possible to fix, i didn't try hard with them because they are outdated anyways (play is a version and a bit behind) but the black sms email and calender along with a black dialer skin i got from the play store, is making ICS trump the jb roms so far for me, especially with 0 random reboots and 1080p support etc. anyways, i figured some people with this phone would probably like some options so here they are, these are working for me atleast.
nice, yeah this with the new google 4.2 keyboards for ics... and you can almost turn ics into a stabler version of JB by the way the guy says the mms works with jb too hard to say about the other ones
Hey guys,
Does anyone have the APK for the standard HTC SMS app from 4.4.2 (or at least know what it's called)?
4.4.3 seems to have introduced automatic emojis in the SMS app which I'm really not a fan of, so hoping that I can roll back to the 4.4.2 app which will remove them. Have tried looking for the apk in /system/app but I don't seem to have found the right thing?
Cheers!
Never mind, found it. It's under /System/Priv-app/.
