I found several inverted apps that work for this phone, but can't find ones for Gmail or Chrome that work. Does anyone have black versions that work?

I'm using TBO's inverted GMail on my M8 right now and works perfectly....haven't tried Chrome yet but I would be highly surprised if it didn't work for us^^

A search will find a lot of inverted app threads on XDA. You might want to try the Team Blackout inverted apps. I haven't tested them on the M8, but they work well for me on another handset.

I searched and found those threads (and installed the TBO app as well), but was unable to get an inverted Gmail app that worked for me.

Can you point me to the Gmail.apk you used? I've tried the Team Blackout version on Viper ROM and Renovate ROM and in both cases, after uninstalling the original Gmail app and installing the blacked-out apk, when I try to open it I just get an instantaneous force close before the app even opens. "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped." Reboots don't change anything either, unfortunately. Also tried with and without XPosed framework installed. Any ideas?

I'm guessing you have the right file but it's designed for AOSP, like the ROM I'm running. You listed 2 Sense-based ROMs so that's what leads me to believe it...that and that the download links(that I've rfound) are usually within an AOSP ROM thread.
I got this one from the Dirty Unicorns thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633324
(I know it's not for our phone but it's a similar phone and the rom is kit kat...I didn't have any issues with it)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.
Good post. Good idea.

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?
Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.
All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero
When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

The VVM apk is not working w/Thunderstick rom, can anyone confirm this. Each time I install, I get the error that a "built in" version is already installed..I know there isn't..oh well..Guess am back to Gingertis 3D
So my biggest gripe with my phone from day one is the moto messaging app. Now that we have root I am trying to install the vanilla asop app.
I have tried pulling the app from my og and installing in /system/app and setting permissions right. Upon reboot the app is installed however when you try to run it it just FCs
I also came across this link http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/ which I believe is the same mms.apk used in cm7 right now. I tried both sets of instructions, using root explorer and adb. Both give me the same result as before with FC.
Thoughts? Ideas?
I have tried with and without the moto messaging app installed as well.
bump? Anyone have any idea?

This should work with any hdpi resolution device including the nexus one. I know it works on cm7 that is what I use.
The full all apps flashable needs to be updated though. Should be able to do that today sometime.
Just installed the Google+ and Google Reader apps and they look really great, thanks!
Do you have a twitter or something where you push notifications of updates? Or should we just keep regularly checking the website?

I flashed the latest all apps zip and it appears that the only app that flashed correctly was the music app. I tried to download the Google + app off your website, but it came up as a map file. I also tried extracting the zip and installing the apk and changing permissions. And through all this all I could get was the music app to take. All of this is on CM7 Nexus S 4G.
Edit: nevermind I went back to the original thread and saw that the original apps need to be removed first.

I have no clue what you did because there is no music app in this. The files will download as apk now. you can also just rename the .man files to .apk.
Yeah that is odd. Don't know why the music widget changed. I just ended up extracting the zip with root explorer and installed them one by one. These look great. Following you on twitter to see what you do next. Keep up the great work.

i cant get any of the flashables to take. every .zip (talk, market and the whole set) says it installed, but nothing changes. not sure why. NexusS4g. i can install the ones that you've got there as apk only but the two system apps dont work.
For the system ones you will need an app like root explorer and copy them into the system/app folder and change the permissions then reboot. Make sure you delete the old ones first. If you are not familiar with the permissions it should look like this.

Thank you for the effort. The inverted translate has a small issue. In the top left corner there appears to be some writing that sits on top of itself. It says translate twice and you can barely read it. Has this been reported?
I installed the latest nightly from last night (CM9 12-12-12), the Gapps package from 4-29-12, and the Gapps fixer. I have things like Play store, GTalk, and Voice Dialer, bot no GMail, Maps, Youtube, etc. Am I supposed to have those too? I keep searching and it's not easy to find a list that I know specifically pertains to the TouchPad's CM9 implementation.

But download what, exactly? I'm only thinking of those off the top of my head but I know that there are a lot more. The problem is, I need a list if I'm going to do that as a work-around and so that's partially what I'm asking for (that or help getting the Gapps package to install completely). The Gapps fix does nothing no matter what I wipe or what order I flash.
I checked with my brother and he did not download those from the market/Play store on his touchpad. Neither did I, and I was the one who put Goo manager on it. I'm trying to set this up for a coworker with all the apps as if it were the first time ever turned on and I don't want my account loaded on it.
I already knew I could download individual apps from the market. Thanks for your help though.

Those apps aren't included in the ics gapps. If you open up the zip file and look in the /system/app folder you'll see what apks are included in the gapps package.

good probabilities that it was 4.1
im pretty sure that both roms require separate installs of gapps..because no gapps are built in

I dont get what you are looking for. If you have the Play store and were able to sign into your account then you have everything the Gapps offer. Gapps are mainly Google services that let you sign into your Gmail account, sync your Gmail account, Use the Play store, etc. There are some apps within the Gapps file which are system apps but like others have said, everything else you mentioned is in the play store. Gapps don't include those apps.
Hi, I have one question about Google and Google+. How to remove the files in our custom rom before flashing the rom? Ya, we can delete it using root explorer but I love to know which apk/files contain the twos apks. Thank's.
Google+ isn't necessarily an apk in the gapps package so google+ won't be there in the custom ROMs and I'm not sure if Google Now is a thing that can be removed as it is an exclusive feature of Android 4.1+ . Not sure though. :|

He wants to disable google search, i don't see any way to do that except not flashing gapps at all which isn't desirable. I'd be glad if you can help him disable google search if possible.
If it is a TW ROM then just pull the apk's out of system/preload...

I guess it all depends on the ROM - I have two different devices, on one the Search is a system app (system/app/Velvet.apk), on other it was installed via Play market (data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk).
Generally if the apk resides in zip file, it can be removed before flashing (I usually clean ROMs from all apps I don't need on my PC using WinRar), the only problem could be finding name of the apk file to remove.
Yes you're right, the name of the app is where the problem resides as I did check the frameworks folder of the ROM. It's ROM specific isn't it, and tampering with an app like google search can surely cause some unforeseen errors too. I don't see any reason why google search has become such an undesirable app for the poster!
Not sure how it works for stock-based ROMs, on my N7000 I have Slimbean, which comes without Search - it can be installed from the Market separately if someone needs it
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda premium
Slimbean has gapps of its own, customised for the ROM which are available on their site. The gapps on goo.im which are prescribed by some other ROMs come with the feature of google-search.

in this case it should be enough to remove "QuickSearchBox.apk" from the zip file before flashing
This removes Google search altogether or just the search box on the home screens which cannot be gotten away from the settings options in certain ROMs?
