Instructions on how to flash the fonts:
1) Pick a font you like, download it.
2) Go into clockwork recovery
3) Nandroid (optional but always a good idea)
4) Install the fonts zip file
5) Reboot and enjoy!
Screenshots are available on the original thread. Please support fachadick if you can!

I've been using apks and the font change option in settings than actually flash fonts.

I used iAPK to do a batch install of all the fonts.
Transparent Market 2.3.4
Adb push to /system/app/Vending.apk
Make sure you delete the com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
You can also flash this if you put it in a flashable zip compatable with your clockwork; just take a zip folder you previously downloaded and delete the app or apps that are in the app folder of the zip and copy the Vending. apk to it and flash.
Here's a link to a buddy o' mine's thread, that has Black transparent facebook, gingerbread keyboards, and such.
The name's Fernando, all his stuff is compatable with the epic you just can't use his flash script, but you can have your own made, or do like I say in post #13
[UPDATE 3/5/11) 2.3.4.1transparent Gmail markets_transparent facebook_ more
Transparent gmail 2.3.4.1
Gmail.apk
Install like the market in the first post
Your my hero, lol, thanks for bringing this to the epic forum. .. also you gmail link is the vending.apk, as soon as that's fixed ill be set.

Works for the ACS Full or Standard Rom. Download and copy the file to the zip folder under /system/app. Copy to SDcard and install, will replace the apk already in the rom.
Awesome!! The market looks so cool. Please fix the link for gmail apk. I can't wait to see that one too. Thank you so much for these

Less Transparent, Inverted Gmail.apk
Hey Deciple -- I've been using a slightly less transparent version of the new Gmail and wanted to share. It makes visibility a little bit easier in the mail screen:
Installation is the same as above: goes in system/app/Gmail.apk
I'm pretty sure the opaqueness (or opacity) in this apk is controlled by a transparentish png.
But here's some screencaps of the Gmail apk you posted versus this more opaque version (on my setup).
Credit goes to the folks at Inversion Conversion on Droidforums, not me.
I think we should have a Transparent/Inverted apps section too, cuz they look soo much better than the stock.
Is there any way to do this with root explorer? Or any chance someone could put these in a zip or a little more instruction of what the op was talking about...adding to a previously flashed zip? Sorry to be such a noob, but I deleted both and can't figure out how to get them back

Ya - you can do it with Root Explorer.
With the Gmail.apk: download it, save to sdcard.
Open Root Explorer, navigate to sdcard
Long-click Gmail.apk, Copy.
back out to root folder, go to system, then app
(this is what I do.. just to create a backup)
Find existing Gmail.apk, rename to Gmail.bak
Paste the new Gmail.apk in that folder.
Find it, Long click, select Permissions
Under "Read" Check all 3, under "Write", Check ONLY user, under "Execute" uncheck all of them.
4 boxes checked, total. So it reads: rw-r--r--
Then exit, reboot if you want, and you should be set.

Once all is running fine, you can move that Gmail.bak over somewhere to your sdcard to reduce space taken up in your /system/app folder.

Hey yeah that looks good man, I personally like the clear glass look, and I use a dark wallpaper too so I have no problem seeing my messages, however you do propose a valid suggestion and I agree that we should have a transparent /Inverted thread.
I can throw some inverts on here .

Ok.........What you do is , If you ever downloaded a flashable zip, that has a market in it or any other app for that matter,that you know is compatable with your version of clockwork, then you open it up with 7zip, then you should see a folder called meta-inf and system. Open the system folder and there should be another folder in there called app. Open that one and delete whatever's in there (after you've presumably copied and saved the entire zip If you want to keep what's inside)and replace it with the app or app's you want to flash.
Awesome Market...... But i have 3 small issues LOL If i knew how to fix them i so would. So i hope you can help :-D

1. +1 I have no green in anything on my phone, white would be great.
2. -1 this is cool its to show you that there is more in the description, fade effect.
3. -1 I think the comment area when you more should be white BG so its easier to read and rarely used.
@Deciple I was wondering if You could make a gmail version same as you have it (Transparent) but make the text another color than green (not a fan of green), Maybe White main text and blue "from" text, just like in the stock Samsung email app.
Managed it problem solved
HELP!!! After i deleted com.android.vending.apk in /data/app/com.android.vending.apk no more market at all. Tryed to flash it and still nothing please help
Try to adb push it like it says in the op.

I like the clear look for these apks. Does the gmail version allow for the automatic download of the pictures in the email?
Is it possible to use these apk in a mdpi 320x480 device like htc magic/mytouch 3g?

Same Problem here!
Had to restore my recovery.
Tried a lot of different things. Like ad push, adb install.
Vendig apk was under /system/app, but wont show up as runnable app.
Can someone with this phone please do me a favor and snag the sense 2.1 battery widget apk downloaded from personalize > widget > get more HTC widgets > battery. I'm trying to get it running on the HTC Thunderbolt on the gingerbread rom which runs sense 2.1 but it is unable to download widgets from HTC due to the server not responding to the alpha build we're running. Thanks in advance!
If I remember correctly, if you have it downloaded and installed, the file will be in the /data/app folder. Just navigate there with root explorer (or any other file manager) and it'll be called com.rosiebattery or something similar. Thanks again in advance.
Here it is http://db.tt/1xPxIJG.
But next time ask it in general

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could explain to this noob (me) how to mod the dockbar layout of stock twlauncher? Currently running UCKK4 (KK2 kernel by corn)....? I've tried using tw4, which is very cool, but found its stability to be inconsistent on my cappy. Mainly i would like to 1 or 2 small details re: the stock dockbar... 1. Replace "email" button with "gmail" 2. Add "messaging" icon to dockbar (having 5 icons instead of 4, and actually like the look of app drawer icon on right side)
Also, was wondering if anyone has working mods for KK4 extended power menu & modded batt icon with 9 toggle? Tried flashing ones i had but wound up having to reflash stock.
Any help, pointers, tips, etc are greatly appreciated. Also, my apologies if I've posted this is the incorrect area.
Thx, tjp419

You can find some TWLauncher mods here. You ll have to port it. The source is available there. I suppose someone might have already ported theme to the Captivate.
thanks for the that link! ok, so have to ask, can you explain what it means to "port"? still a noob, lol, sorry
yahh, don't start with ports, being a noob, start with small easy stuff.

Hmm porting means editing the APK so as to make t work on a particular device. You need to know some Java, smali/baksmali for it. You need to decompile the APK, using a utility lke APKTool/APKManager and make edits to the touchwiz code to make those mods for the captivate.
For the request #1, you don't need mod.
Simply do the following
1. on the app drawer (hit applications)
2. hit menu -> choose "view type" -> select "Customizable grid"
3. hit menu -> choose "edit", then you can drag and move around icons.

The easiest way to get that would be to flash a KK4-based ROM with that already baked in. Illuminance comes to mind because it's one that I used most recently that had it, but I know there are other ROMs that fit the bill as well. Just do your homework first so you don't end up in an unhappy place

OMG, you are my hero! This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out... figures it would it would be an easy fix and right under my nose... though, i would still like to learn how to mod & theme apps in general, not just touchwiz, think it would be fun...
On a different note, have a new question/issue... my contacts keep reverting back even after i edit them (add #, or email, or address, etc); randomly, some contactf will go completely missing; also, in the notification bar, i get a message that says "sync error, too many deletes." In settings, under accounts & sync, i have it marked to sync google & facebook contacts. And lastly, curious if anyone else has had these same issues..?. If so, hpe do i fix this?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Thx, tjp

Ok, here we go ! It's a mod of the LG messaging app that adds 2 often requested features:
No autoconvert to MMS after 3 messages
Sending to unlimited contacts
To install:
Simply copy the included apk to /system/app/Mms.apk, and make a backup first just in case.
Notes:
If it doesn't work, clear the cache, the Dalvik cache, and also clear data for Messaging under Settings->Applications->Manage Applications (it won't delete your messages).
Hope this is useful to people!
HOW TO :
Do you theme your Mms app? Got a custom ROM going on and want to do this yourself? Well here's how!
Download Apk Manager from here.
Get your Mms.apk from /system/app/Mms.apk
Open up Apk Manager and choose option 22
Select Mms.apk as your project
Select option 10 (decompile with dependencies)
When it asks you for your dependency, drag and drop framework-res.apk into the window and press enter
When that's done, go into apk_manager/projects/Mms.apk
Under /res/xml open up mms_config.xml
Go to: <int name="recipientLimit">10</int> change this to -1
Go to <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int> Change this to 100
Save and close them all and go back to apk manager, option 11 'compile'
Copy your new Mms.apk to your phone! Don't forget to back up your old one in case you make a mistake.
Excellent mod. Do you know where to look in the ICS MMS apk to reduce the size of the message input box and/or move the "attach" button to the menu?
