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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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
Could u Captalize the "M" in the first pic and change the text to white?

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

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.
I was wondering how would I go about theming an Apk. I already know about UOT Kitchen but I not sure if there is anything there that'll single out a specific apk(Launcher Pro for example). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move the APK to your computer then drag it into winrar. Once in there, you can drag any of its graphic files out to edit. Once your done editing, drag them back into winrar to the exact spot you took the particular graphic file from. Give me a minute and I will tell you which directory you can find the graphics at.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
The graphic files can be found in Res/drawable. There are sometimes several.drawable directories so check them all because you will probably need to take things out of each of them.
It really is this simple. No need for any.special tools other than winrar and a graphics editor.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Apk files are almost like zip files and rar files, except they aren't compressed.to save space. You can open and extract them the same way. For theming you don't want to extract though, just click on a file and drag it out to edit, then drag it back in when your done.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Check the drawable hdpi, skip mdpi because that's a lower Res for older or cheaper phones.
go ahead and not listen to the previous posts. that advice will get you in trouble. do not use winrar, and if you edit a .9 png without patching it, the apk will force close.
you need to decompile the apk in apk manager, make the changes you want to the images. some xml edits may be required aswell. once your done, recompile.
stick with 7zip if your going to open an apk. winrar can cause issues.

If its a system app first you'll need Root.. and Root Explorer..
Open root explorer go into "system/app" and you'll see "email.apk".. make a copy of it and store it somewhere you'll remember.. Fire up whatever Rom or theme.. go back into root explorer.. find your "email.apk" hold down on it and select "move".. go back to the "system/app" folder and place it there.. If there's another there copy over it if you dont want it or else just rename it to whatever(email1.apk for example)
LOOK CLOSELY
You'll see that the permissions are not correct. They need to be rw-r--r--
To change permissions
Hold down on the apk
Choose "permissions"
Select all three boxes going down on the left side.
And the one AT THE "TOP MIDDLE"
REBOOT
enjoi
PS: If the app doesnt show up on reboot.. its not compatible with the Rom or Theme

Good question... You can do that but you'll still have to set the permissions correctly.. Tell me which Rom and Theme.. Im sure your at a PC right now if you want to extract the APK use 7-Zip. It's far better than Winrar.

APK manager. It's harder them what people think they are talking about, and it gets write complex, BUT with practice and patience it gets easier.
I would suggest using Gimp to edit your images, and add people have stated, the .9.png are the trickiest. I made a thread in the DX2 theme section, Peperm1nt explains it well, as does Kevin3228.
Good luck, if I have time later I'll link tutorials

As for the recent... u want the button just removed in its entirety? If so that's easy..

In this picture on the far left - where it says Calculator, Calendar .... (this is the pop up that shows when you hit the "recent" button on your softkey bar.)

One problem if using black background in notification area is some apps notification text is also black.
Any idea how to fix it?
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
That is the only "bug" that I haven't been able to circumvent. It seems that some apps don't adhere to the colors defined in "status_bar_latest_event_content.xml" for notifications. Not sure why this is. If anybody knows, I'd be happy to take a stab at it. Otherwise, the only alternative is to use black text on a light background in the notifications area, which I really didn't like, and isn't very true to the ICS color scheme. I, fortunately, only have one app that has this issue, (Amazon MP3) so I just "live with it."
And you could theroetically install this theme on any GB-based non-Zeus rom, but in my experience, you'll probably have issues - particularly with the "power dialog" screen. For this reason, I would only recommend installing it on Zeus v7 & v7.01. (maybe v6.4 as well?)

Here you go... Flash the attached file in CWM and let me know what you think. Again, it's not my preference, but it should resolve the issue you are having.
Lets say if i flash this onto my Zeus 6.4©,if anything goes wrong like the theme is not good on the rom,how do i remove it and also did someone try this on 6.4?
My main agenda is to help, not gain thanks.

Im using it with v6.40 v20o and it works like a charm, no FC's, swipe notifications are working...
Only thing, it happens just like in the old themes for zeus, 2G / 3G toggle doesnt work. It does nothing if you touch it, but anyways holding touch on it gets you to the "set network" screen, which allows you to select only 2G. So... its not quite annoying (and also I dont know if this is a bug in the v7 zeus version)
PD: I think andrewbadge fixed the 2G/3G toggle in his Xperia theme.

Sure...
framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml (This is the file that dictates the color of text in the notifications - It needs to be decompiled before it can be manually edited)
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png (This is the background image for notifications - Be careful, though, as it is a NinePatch (.9.png) file, and must be recompiled after editing)
Be sure to send me a screenshot of the final result!

When you go, I'm returning...
status_bar_latest_event_content are 1 type of notification... but there are more... and the worst... there are apps with their own .xml included in the app... that's the reason why v7 has black notifications and v7.01 doesn't...
---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
If you discover how to make ALL the notifications (music, whatsapp, download, upload, etc) with white text... I will be the first to include it in my ROM with your permission and with all the credits to you!
Hi all!
Are you making a ROM? Want users to switch between Themes without downloading tons of zips and flashing them and ending up in a mess? Actually I made this App for my upcoming ROM("Quantum Radicle") for Micromax A89 and it turned out to work on all phones. Sharing is caring :cheers:
Here is the solution - Quantum Themer!
You maybe wondering how it works. The answer is:
Based on VillianTheme System! What I did was first tried to run the script on my Phone, ended up with 10-15 errors, fixed them! Now all this App does behind the scenes is Feed the Theme you select to the script and the script does the rest! But if you do see, the VillianTheme Template itself is nearly 600 KB and the App is just 650 KB
Let's get Straight into the list of features!
Features:
Works on all ROMs - Stock, Custom, AOSP, eh, you name it!
Preview of Themes before Applying
Custom File Extension for themes(Default is .qrt, if you do dig my App, you will find this being set in com.adhi.quantumthemer.ThemeSelector Class. Feel free to change it! But don't kang the App)
Single Button, no hassles!
In-built File Explorer
Theme structure is so simple that, even a "Starter" doesn't take more than a minute to understand
You can use it in your ROM. Just copy the APK into your ROM and provide your users with Theme Files, you don't need to ask permissions, just give me credits
Just include files that need to be replaced/modified, cutting down the size of your themes by a great margin
Scroll down and search for the download link, you'll tell me more
Framework, System Apps, Data Apps support
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, this will be "Copy, paste" from a VillianTheme Tutorial on "How to make Themes". You may skip to the last point if you know/understand how it works! I strongly recommend you to have a look at the Attached theme for reference. Open it with your favorite Zip Browser(WinRar, 7-Zip)
Check this thread out as well.
Inside the qrt file(Which is to be opened with a Zip Viewer), you can create a folder called "system" and "data" and include a Preview of the theme named "preview.png" or "preview.jpg"(All folders and files without Quotes in their names). The former is required, the latter is not required unless you wanted to theme a data app (strongly not recommended, unless you know the app will be there on every phone)
Inside the system or data folder, create a subfolder "app", and in these, make subfolders named EXACTLY after the APK name. For example, to theme the Browser, you need a folder called "Browser.apk", for Statusbar, "SystemUI.apk". It must be correctly capitalised.
Within there, place the files you require for your theme, in the relevant locations. So most PNGs will be in res/drawable-hdpi/. You can put in xml files too (those which are not in resources.arsc), if you compile them via apktool, and extract them with a zip tool.
If you do make it from scratch and zip it, don't forget to Rename it with extension ".qrt"

Now lets move on to "How to use it" as I have too much time to kill now, I'm including this
How to Use:
Just Install the App(System, User doesn't matter). Click on "Select Theme" button and then select the Theme you want to Apply. It will ask for Root Permissions if its the First Launch. Next, you'll get a preview of Theme which is going to be applied and then when you press the "Apply" button, the theme will be applied and a Alert Dialog Box asking you to Reboot will appear. I suggest you to Reboot your phone at this point itself. And after reboot, you will be happy to see the Theme Applied

If you face any problems with this App, do the following -
Debugging:
1. Check whether /sdcard/vrtheme exists and contains four or more files/folders.If it doesn't, copy all the contents off vrtheme.zip in the assets folder of the Quantum Themer App.
2. Mount System as R/W before Applying Theme manually.
3. Copy /sdcard/vrtheme/zip and /sdcard/vrtheme/zipalign to /system/bin and CHMod it to 777
4. Type
Code:
sh /sdcard/vrtheme/i*
in Termianl Emulator or ADB and post the result here..

It wouldn't work on your Phone
You can try making your own Theme, its fairly simple
How can I make this work if, for example, I have a SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk modified and I want to apply it on my phone using this app? It's possible?

Just download the Sample Theme and you will get it how it work and how to apply! :good:
A friend sent me to this thread. Once I read your description I got sooo many ideas in my mind! I am a big fun of VRT and this app could help me a lot if it's as I imagine it. Your idea is great.
Just one question for now, previews should be .flv? If yes, will it work ok if I make a slideshow-like preview?
Preview is a PNG static image!
Your post sparkled an idea in my mind too! Thinking of adding a Video Preview + Description

You should add a package ofsome themes like ICS/JB in the OP.
Testing and reporting right away.

I just said that because your preview was an .flv file and I got confused. I didn't have time to open the .apk or the .qrt. I guess it was a misunderstanding.
Oh, and I'm glad I gave you an idea! Would be cool to see video previews. :good:

Because the resource files used are device independent, a file available to MOD on one phone may not be available on the other!

Some ideas:
Would be great if you can add more than one preview pic, in just one is hard to show all things themed.
Other thing is would be nice if themes with their preview remain on the app to just choose one and apply it, I mean like CM themes so you don't have to browse in folders and choose the qrt file each time you want to apply a previously loaded theme.
And finally that the app automatically make a qrt file of the backup that the app make when you apply a theme, so you can easily apply your backup if you didn't like the theme applied.

I have some ideas, and it would be great if you could implement those things.
First of all, it would be cool to have a folder where everyone would put those .qrts, a folder in /system (/system/QuantumThemes) maybe for us to be able to create packages of more than one .qrt and once a user flashes this package, those .qrts will be placed in this folder.
Second, another idea would be: when you open Quantum Themer it will automatically show themes from this particular folder(/system/QuantumThemes) without having the users to browse for themes in the mess of an sdcard. This way it would look more like a theme engine.
Third, how about categories or sections like: Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Toggles), or more specific categories like Status Bar Mods/Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Status Bar Mods/Toggles) those categories would be created and named by themers or ROM developers. There would be basically folders placed inside the /system/QuantumThemes and your application would just.
So, to give you a whole view of what I am thinking...
A user installs the Quantum Themer. The user flashes a CWM mod package created by someone. The user opens the Quantum Themer app. A window with all of the categories opens. The user selects a category. The category opens revealing sub categories. The user selects a sub category. The sub category opens revealing all installed mods for this sub category. The user selects a mod. A small or full screen window opens showing a preview, maybe a small description(taken from a file /.qrt/description.txt) and an Install button.
Well, that's actually a lot of things...
I thought it would be good sharing with you since you said you want to keep this active and update it. :highfive:
Hope I helped and I definitely hope to see such a great tool becoming better.

Thanks for your detailed feedback mate
1. I think /sdcard/QuantumThemer is a better place as messing around with system is not good for our device and there will be memory limitations in low-end devices. However your idea is cool and all your first 3 points were based on categories, I can take it as one great suggestion. Setting default directory to /sdcard/QauntumThemer is not tough either. I'm already working on a separate layout for displaying Description, preview and if possible a Video Playback.
2. Yes. Instead of laboriously setting up arrays for selecting Categories->Sub Caegories, a central folder on SD Card will be neat.
Thanks for your suggestions people!
