Oh hell yes . I've been using your inverted apps for a while now, started on the OG Epic 4g, now with the ET4g. Congrats on your new device!
I assume you'd have to uninstall the app first and then install the inverted version?
And how do I uninstall gmail? Would I just delete the .apk in root explorer?
Really glad to hear you got this phone. Thanks again for your work

Deleting the apk and putting mine in it's place with root explorer should work. I always use adb to push it there. It will have to be installed this way for now, at least until I get an updated flash-able zip for this phone.

Damn. That didn't work for me and I can't get gmail to install at all.
A titanium restore of gmail didn't work either. Tried grabbing again from the market and when I try installing it, it says "application already exists".
Argh!!! How do I fix this?
EDIT: It came up with a reboot. Phew!

The newest version of Google+ has a different setup for the main stream, I am in the works of flipping that over then it should be good to go. I am hoping to get it done in the next day or two.
I assume the rom has to be deodexed to flash any app that downloads in the form of a zip? Such as the Google search bar? Or can it be install with root explorer?

Facebook app looks great. When you first install it, everything is great, and the news feed is inverted. But once you exit out of the news feed, and reenter it....the background goes white again.

I have never tried to install them on an odexed ROM so I am not sure if it will work or not.
Yeah the feed is pulled straight from m.facebook.com so unless facebook wants to invert there mobile page that is the way it has to be.

Looks like Google+ and Docs are going to take a min. Don't know if it is a root/ROM/ or phone issue but neither docs nor Google+ will sync anything once they are installed. Just sits on connecting...
I have tried decompiling and then recompiling without changing anything and I still get this issue. If anyone knows a fix to this I would love to know what it is.

I downloaded an app's .apk from the internet and installed it onto my phone. Now that there's a sale going on in the marketplace, I tried to uninstall the app so I could buy the paid version of it. However even after the app was uninstalled, the Google Play wouldn't let me download the app. Any ideas on how to download the app? I already tried to clear the cache and data for the marketplace to no avail.
Thank you.

Hello!
I noticed the YouTube app recently got an update which allows for pre-caching of subscription videos so they're available when the device isn't on WiFi, and although this works on my GNex, the feature is unavailable on my Nexus 7? I was wondering if anyone has found away to re-enable this feature, and if so, how?
Thanks!

You're on Paranoid? I don't have a N7 but I'm using Paranoid on my Gnex. I noticed that the preloading options are display mode specific. I don't know why Google would do that but if you put it in the phone style UI it will give you the preloading options.
EDIT: Also, I believe YouTube 4.0.8 still allows preloading whatever the display mode. Probably what dude linked above. On my Gnex I had to stick 4.0.8 manually into /system/app, set permissions and reboot for it to install. But then the Play Store constantly reminds you to update it to 4.0.23.
just released today, get it here! link below...
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.

Still not exiting back to last place (got to go through the list from the top) but it is ok. Now if we could sort the way we want (download date, alphabetical, paid, free, etc.), I think I'll be set.

Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

It may be installed in /data/app on your phone. Or it is visually named something else. When I went searching for vending.apk all I saw was phonesky.apk. I identified it by the PlayStore icon next to it. I'm not sure, but I think devs can name it anything they want with no ill effects on functionality.

Anyone have issues with swype beta installer after i log in on the choose version screen i get continuous loading and never recognizes a version.. anyone else? or have fix for the issue??
I have the same problem.
Swype Beta unusable for me in 4.2.1 it is always force closing... I am now using Keymonk keyboard and it is a great contender vs. swype! Almost might be better! Two handed swiping so much quicker and I am sure it will only get better! Get the free version here
no problems with Skype here, rooted & running Xylon 4.2.1 009. Suggestions would be uninstal, redownload installer & Skype again. If rooted i would also suggest wiping cache & dalvik, even fixing permissions. You could also paste the Skype installer & apk direclty into your system/apps folder and see if that changes anything (have to be rooted).

Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, try to uninstall the app then reinstall through the play store.
Sorry, if a mod could move it that would be great. I did reinstall it, still tries to download. I can force stop it by force stopping downloads, but as soon as anything else starts downloading it just restarts the attempted download of Facebook too.

I'm seeing this on my droid RAZR m as well. Its Verizon, I'm wondering if this is carrier specific. Still trying to to figure out how to make it go away. I don't have FB at all.
Is just an internal fb update.... Facebook 2.3
I saw it earlier and got a lil worry so i looked it up and found this forum!!! so i did what i read... Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here just send it to trash and it fixed it! but then i my sister showed me the same thing and we just waited, finally it downloaded all of it (around 15 MB) and gave her a facebook update screen! saying it was a new version (facebook 2.3) that enables you to mark as spam posts and other stuff!!! NOW i feel like a [email protected] for reading about it and erasing it... hope it comes back on the market as a regular update and that some of you read this and just be patient! :fingers-crossed: GOOD LUCK AND IF SOMEBODY HAS A APK VERSION OF IT ALREADY PLS REPOST!

I had the same problem . I yesterday externally installed Swype kepboard and this problem seems to have arised since then. Not sure however if i can directly blame this on the Swype. Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.
This is what i did & it seems to have stopped popping up since then. Hold the Download till u get an "App Info" option. Then click disable instead of Force stop. It has'nt restarted for me since then .

From your Browser, open the menu and select Download.
BTW, I also couldn't find a link to Download on my Spectrum but I do have it on my Transformer Prime, so maybe something that LG left out.

Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.

The scary thing here is it really is a genuine facebook update; see the links I have included below. They are going around the Play store for this and future updates. Which is scary enough on its own because a smart hacker could mimic this in the near future to inject malware. Also, in my case the update failed and now I can't use the version from the play store or this one.
I have complained to Google play about this because they are violation the developer terms; I also provided "feedback" to Facebook! I would recommend others complain to both also to let them know how their customers feel.

Please let me know if this link doesn't work; I haven't used Google Drive to share openly before.
