(App) Transparent Market 2.3.4

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

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
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?

[REQ] Transition animations

I was wondering if any kind soul could make it possible to provide flashable zips to change the transition animations on our phones. I know that Adrynalyne had some cool transition animations on some versions of his SuperClean Rom, but I would like to continue this. Also, in particular, if it's possible to have a screen rotation animation I would love to have that also. Thanks!

The only way would be to either have metamorf files (which someone posted here a very long time ago) of the different animations or have multiple zips that only include framework-res.apk. The animations are controlled by xmls located in framework-res.apk/res/anim. I myself for my personal theme have created a nice cocktail of the various types of animation xmls used tasefully for various ui events and actions.
good day.

There is an app on the market. Ani something....I'll find it. I have it on backup

Saw that app, and a couple of fascinate users comment that it boot looped them. If that app swaps out the "whole" anim folder within the apk and if you're running comm rom or the newer sbrissen mods it will surely boot loop you. 7 xml's pertaining to the lockscreens have been added by sbrissen to that anim folder and if those get deleted by an app replacing the whole anim folder within the framework it will certainly lead to trouble.
good day.

Works fine for me. No boot loops on CommRom 2.1.

that wasnt necessary

Actually there is a way to patch basically any apk or jar file on the phone through a flashable zip. I have been doing exactly that so that I can maintain mods between upgrades.
An anim patch would be very easy to apply without breaking anything. But as chopper the dog stated, if you mess with or delete others then there will be issues.
Anyhow if interested I can put together a basic anim patch for testing or I can share a readily available anim patch for cm7 (mtd, possibly miui as well) as proof of concept. From there you could modify what you want patched to your liking and the updater-script for (rfs) if needed.
Of course this is something that only myself have used, so it would come with no guarantee's. Would be interesting to see how compatible it would be or better yet how far it could be taken. I have replaced resource's this way without issue.

It would be great if you could get this tested by a few brave individuals. If you want, you can use my thread or make another one. I personally need the stability of Comm Rom for everyday use of my phone so I won't be going to CM7 until some of the signal, SOD, and calling issues are addressed. The AnimMod app works great but I would like to see a larger compilation of transition animations to choose from. We could even stick these zips in the theme sticky . Also what about screen rotation animations? Is this possible? Thanks for answering my call to god!

Those SOD issues were a blessing in disguise.. lol
Not completely familiar with screen rotation animations. A quick search states there used to be what they called fancy animations in android 1.5 but no longer added after. I could be wrong this is my first android phone, so I don't know the history. Anyhow there are some slightly rotating anims in the patch.
Ok, so this is what is going on..
An apk is just a zip file with an .apk extension. So what I am doing is utilizing a zip binary that is copied to a temp location along with some very basic commands. With these commands its basically injecting the structure of the res folder in the patch, to your framework.
Therefor you can use this to inject basically anything as long as you follow the structure. As stated before I have changed resource level items such as colors without issue. Just be advised if you change out any id's from public.xml and many others it will end in failure. This can also be modified to patch any apk or even jar files. It can also be modified to make a cwm zip of your current rom, data apps etc... The list go's on!
So in a sum, the zip will copy a zip & zipalign binary along with the script and patch files to /tmp. The script will kick in and as an added bonus (incase anything go's wrong) will make a backup of your existing framework-res.apk and create a cwm zip and place it on the root of your sdcard called notta-anim-patch-restore.zip. This zip can be flashed to restore the previous state.
Then utilizing the zip binary, will inject the patch files zipalign and ovewrite your /system/framework/framework-res.apk. In this case a set of animations. I hope this is a satisfactory explanation.
As with anything you flash, you do it you except responsibility. Also I have personally tested this one ukb 2.1. This should work with any touchwiz fascinate rom, well anything with a system location at "stl9".

[Eclipse Template] GO Launcher Theme Template

This has been replaced with the theme template tutorial. Click Here for more
What is this?
In the old days, there was the GO Launcher Theme template. Then came the database crash and loss of the template. Since then GO released the java program with theming capabilities, but that didn't do much. Look below for example:
|GO Theme Template | GO Theme Program (Java)
Change Prebuilt icons | Yes | Yes
Add icons for any app | Yes | No
Change folder pulldown | Yes | Yes, but not well
Why don't I just use the template then?
My eclipse template makes the template compatible with the newer version of the SDK (Eclipse Android ADT required), and makes much easier to use.
You can do really ANYTHING with the template, as long as it's in the launcher.
Download
You can download the zip from my 4shared here: (4Shared is dead for me, 0.49kb/s )
Or from the attchments: Download here
Great, I've downloaded it. But it's not in eclipse?
That's because you have to IMPORT it. To do this, go to File > Import > General > Existing project into workspace > Select archive file > Browse > Open it > Select the project > Finish
Yay! It works! But now what?
You replace the images in res > drawable-hdpi with your own, edit the package names in assets > appfilter.xml and compile it using File > Export > Android Application. Follow the wizard

Going to test this out! Looks good though, hopefully no errors when trying to build it!

would be so nice if this would work but it says error it doesnt have a default.properties

Nice! Will give this a try. I prefer Eclipse so much more.

no stress its cool, if you click with the right mouse on the project, than on properties and check some settings and klick on OK it will generate one.
the question is now
HOW GO LAUNCHER ADDRESSES Apps, are there special names or WAHT ???

I'll come back in here in a little while, and put down a serious crash course.
And im serious on this one-
-- I want to see some golauncher questions first, before I just go off on a rant of what to know.

nobody knows ????
for example SOUNDHOUND
com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier.png
is the name used in MIUI
com_soundhound_android_appcommon_activity_soundhound.png
in LauncherPro
so how would it be in Go Launcher, because I see only 30-40 Icons and isn't there a possibility to add more ????

I'm making a how to now, but I reccomend that you use the template that will be in there, as this template isn't working when you compile it. I'll try to sort it.

No need. Just right click on the project & click refresh. It should work then.

I'm a little confused. Are we supposed to use the file that can be downloaded in this thread or the file from the link? The file from the link seems WAY complicated compared to something that can just be tossed into eclipse like when I made an ADW theme...
I too am getting the errors when I try to import the template from this thread into eclipse. First of all, when I choose 'select archive file' in the dialog box, I'm not sure what file I'm supposed to open. I've gone through every folder and whatever file I click on, it tells me 'no projects are found to import'. Can somebody please steer me in the right direction. Thanks!!

Thanks Quinny899,

The easiest thing to do is to download widgetsoid 2x from the market, add a switcher widget to your homescreen and do the following:

take the .apk and replace HTC_ime_22 or something similar @/system/app and reboot.

It's a zip file...

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task

nice:good: i made my first theme

Thanks, this is something..

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.
