works here with Dark & Blue Market 3.0.27 :

1. Download and rename ,for exemple, SignedBlueDarkMarket.apk in Vending.apk

2. Rename this 2 files with RootExplorer or SuperManager :

/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk TO com.android.vending-1.apk.bak

/system/app/Vending.apk TO Vending.apk.bak

3.Open RootExplorer or SuperManager :

Copy the file Vending.apk in to /system/app

Copy the file Vending.apk in to /data/app

4.In folder /data/app rename the copied Vending.apk TO com.android.vending-1.apk

5.Reboot your Phone !

6. Voilà !

@B-boy™

Hello mate...

As i found here, i saw you know about Decompiling...

So i de-compiled the Market 3.0.27 and i made many many changes in a lot of xmls i wanted...

The only thing i couldn't find is where is xml to change the text in second header from Capitals to Small....

Also the same thing in "categories".... I want to change them cause i don't like capitals... F.e to change the text "GAMES", "BOOKS & REFERENCE" to "Games", "Books & Reference" etc...

So if you could help me i would be greatfull...

Thanks...
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Check Res/values/strings... you should see them in there and can change it to whatever ya want.... there are a lot of strings in there so just breeze thru them all real quick until ya find the one(s) ya want.... :)
[Android Themes] kalagas:
I tried that before but in strings.xml all text are with Small letters not Capitals...

The think i am searching is for sure inside some .xml files or in Smali...

I have changed in all xml files i found the value "textAppearanceMedium" or "textAppearanceLarge" to "textAppearanceSmall" but no luck...

I got it to work on the Samsung Epic on my first try. So did you erase the original market entirely? After you download one of the apks (i did the dark/red one to match Overstew's MattedRed's theme) move it to /system/apps rename it 'vending.apk'. I had to reboot my phone to get it to appear. Works flawlessly on my phone

Hello, one suggestion. The text "more" (Polish translate "Więcej") i opinions is Black.
[Android Themes] xxxdominikwrobelxxx:
Somebody know how have theme market in system/app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11411546

and actualization this topic themed market?

Always have FC market.

system/app - themed 2.3.6

data/app - themed 3.0.27

I think this mix can't work? :D
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
you have to rename the Vending.apk that's in System/app to Vending.bak.. then move the com.android.vending.apk from data/app over to system/app, set permissions to r/o and reboot... that fixes the fc issue..
[Android Themes] xxxdominikwrobelxxx:
Ok thanks. And how about black text "more"? Can you fix this.

Hmm strange, I have black-blue version and when I click to buy application I have F.C. o.O

(apk. in system/app)

Somebody have F.C.

[Android Themes] B-boy™:
That text is dumb... on my droid1 it is white but on some phones its black.... as far as the fc issue, I'll look into that in the morning....
[Android Themes] B-boy™:

[Android Themes] emreyalcin2000:
thnx working great
[Android Themes] YvesSaintYuki:
Works great on DX running Liberty Gingerbread v.09.. Didn't have to do anything but wipe data cache and flash it.. Great job on this.. Loving it.. Wish I can Black out every app on my phone..
[Android Themes] ThunderRootedDragon:
Reserved...I'll give this a second try on my TB...first time yielded a missing market icon via flashing a zip.
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Use the signed apk method... I've had numerous TB users confirm itvworks great.... the update.zip method works, but some roms have issues with it tho.... keep me posted tho.... ;)
[Android Themes] ThunderRootedDragon:
Sweet...Thanks for the advice. Should I install the apk to the root or place it in a folder?
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
It installs like a normal app.... so it'll prompt an install after ya dl it.... if it doesn't, use a file manager to initiate the install.... in the OP I have directions for Apk install.... use those and you should be fine.... I even deleted both vendings from system and data, rebooted, installed the Apk and had no issues but it installs to data so I went ahead and moved it back to system/app....
[Android Themes] ThunderRootedDragon:
Thanks for the help.

Doesn't work for me...running LGS 1.4 with imo's kernel, if that makes a difference. Market still works and icon looks the same in app drawer and when opened. In ended up with 1 Vending.apk in system/app and nothing in data/app. It would be so kick ass to have this (little mods like this are great) How can I start from scratch? Erase the Vedning.apk in system/app using root explorer and reinstall?

Am I missing something or after installing your apk nothing else is done with it. Should I locate it to ensure it was installed correctly?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
It should work on liquid.... try this, use root explorer and go to system/app and delete any Vending.apks... then go to data/app and delete any com.android.vending.apks.... reboot..... then install the Dark Market Apk you chose and open it after it successfully installs.... it should work fine... then, you prob should go to data/app again and MOVE the com.android.vending.Apk to system/app and rename it Vending.Apk.... ya might wanna set the permissions too to read only by long pressing Vending.Apk/permissions /unchecked 'write' on the top row/hit ok or set/reboot.... try that and check back....
[Android Themes] ThunderRootedDragon:
Ha! Worked like a charm...Verified! I am running the BlueDarkMarket on my LGS TB, courtesy of B-boy! Thanks for the super fast responses and help.
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Awesome bro!.... glad ya got it working!... :D. And no prob, I try to always respond quickly unless I never get notified of a post..... ;)
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
OP updated... the colored versions had red notification icons.. that's fixed.. 1300 downloads on the colored markets and nobody mentioned it... lol.. fixed now tho...
[Android Themes] jonlutz217:
i guess i have a big problem?.. i dont even have a "system" file on my phone? (droid x) i have a data file, yet there is no vending file there either? in fact when i search vending or market the only files i have are the themed apk i downloaded from this thread and a backup of the stock market from titanium back up?.. i did get it to download though, i unistalled the market via titanium and then rebooted my phone and the the apk finally installed. BUT it would force close every time i tried to install or update? i tried wiping market data, i tried rebooting, and last i tried fixing permissions, none worked. anyone got any idea? I really want this to work...
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
you won't see the system files with Astro or any other normal file manager.. you gotta use Root Explorer or Root Manager (I think that's what it's called)... That's really the only way you can successfully manipulate the files as I stated in the OP... try that and keep me posted...
[Android Themes] jonlutz217:
you were right, so i picked up file manager. but now im getting pissed aha. i didnt have anything in data, like you said, so i went to system. I had to vending files, one from when i had previosly installed your market i guess and then the stock market. So i erased yours and then renamed the other with .bak. Then i went to install your market like you said but every freaking time it says application not installed now??? no matter what i do. any ideas?
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Sorry for the delay.. on vacation... ok, whenever you edit a system app you gotta reboot for the changes to apply... whether its renaming or uninstalling,etc.... so if you rename Vending.Apk to bak and just try to install mine, it'll error out since you didn't reboot.... try this, DELETE any Vending.Apk or bak in system/app and any com.android.vending.Apk in data/app... reboot... install the Market Apk you chose... it should work fine just like that but it'll be in data so I recommend moving the com.android.vending.Apk from data to system, rename to Vending.Apk, reboot.....
[Android Themes] djnarcotics:
Okay I installed the blue market just fine but for some reason why I try to purchase uber music I get force close tried a free app and it worked anybody know what gives
[Android Themes] djnarcotics:
Just confirmed it force closes when ever I try to purchase An app off the market free Apps are no problem just paid Apps
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Make sure your Vending.Apk is in system/app not data/app...
[Android Themes] offhome:
Good work. Very very nice.
[Android Themes] Virnik0:
I do have only /system/app/Vending.apk, not /data/app/com.vending***

and I do have MarketUpdater disabled. Still, your market FC once I'll try to buy an app.

EDIT: I have found out, that Google has updated Market 3.0.27 with some minor fix, so even when b-boy uses 3.0.27 market version, it gets updated. I have taken Google's Market 3.0.27 and modified it with some minor pictures to test it out, and yes - that version not only don't get updated, but it even do not crash while user'll try to purchase an app.

You can test it out. I have not themed fonts, only some pictures, but it works as it should.
[Android Themes] aypee3:
Going by steps as mentioned in op, when i try to install the apk, posted by you on my desire hd, it says- application not installed. why ???
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Reboot your phone... then try. If you deleted or uninstalled the one in system/app, you need to reboot.... then it should install fine....
[Android Themes] Virnik0:
Or rename it to Vending.apk, and place it to /system/app/ directory. Set ownership to root:root, and permissions to 644

These look great! Gonna try them tonight. I've been looking for multiple colors to pass out to my family :D

Sent from my BluMagic CM7 Glacier using the Blu Premium App
[Android Themes] djnarcotics:

what color is this one ?
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Not sure what this is, but I have 9000 downloads of the varieties of this version and only a few fc issues so it's not my Dark Market and some Google update or else everyone would have that issue... for whatever reason you are having issues, I'm sorry... but I just bought an app once again to confirm that my market is fine... but just as some roms will run amazing on my phone but have issues

On the exact same phone that someone else has, same with the this market....
[Android Themes] djnarcotics:

[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Try rebooting before you install it.... any system edits requires a reboot....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
hey i have a transparent red market & im using qiute a few of your images from dark & red market, but i want all red font on mine(which i know tie into the categories tabbed color) & i have no idea how to edit xml or smali. would you be able to help me change mine to all red tabs so i can have all red font???
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Do you have the apk manager or apktool installed on your PC?... once ya got that, it's not hard to edit the XML lines... smali is more difficult tho....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ya i got apktool but ive never used it... i dunno what or where stuff is in xmls or even how to use apktool
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
I only use the apk manager so I can help ya if you install that.. it's pretty basic. The xml's are mainly in res/values/colors.xml and it's just a list of colors and what they affect.. xml's use a basic hex code like #ffffff = white... #000000 = Black.. #ff0000 = Red... do a search for apk manager 4.8, 4.9 or even 5.0 on XDA and you'll find the download links.. just download one of them and save it to your desktop.. then once it's done, use 7zip or something like it to extract the files so that you have 1 folder named apk manager 4.8 (example).. let me know once you get that far..
[Android Themes] Wasteland_Vixen:
I tried rebooting after each change, disabled market updater... Im not sure what is keeping it from working for me.

---update---

I found your thread on this on rootzwiki and followed one users instructions to manually move the .apk to system/app and rename Vending.apk after changing the originals to .bak and it worked!

I can confirm that this method worked on my rooted Charge.

Sweet! Thanks! It looks great!
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
are you using one of my signed apk installs?.. If you just extracted one out of a zip that isn't signed then it won't install.. but the signed apks should .. usually that error is due to some part of Vending still being installed.. same thing if you have stock Facebook on and try to install my themed one...it'll say it's not installed since the verification keys we sign our stuff with doesn't match the one the stock apk has.. that's why we say to uninstall the old one first.. data apps don't need a reboot but system does.. check data/data for com.android.vending.apk and if it's there.. delete it.. then reboot.. keep me posted tho.. I do try to help as much as I can .. even if I'm not successful every time.. lol
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok got that done & ive already placed vending.apk in modding folder
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
hit the script icon on the main page then.. choose 22.. then #1 (unless you have other apks in the modding folder, too.) then #9 to decompile it.. once you get that far.. hit #11 to compile it just to make sure your apk does compile before wasting time making edits.. let me know when you get that done
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok error decompiling a bunch of cant find paths for 9pngs
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok not path...its cant find 9patch chunk file & renaming

& i hafta leave for work in 10 min will you be around in about 5hrs & do you have gtalk???
[Android Themes] Wasteland_Vixen:
I got it working, I also found another com.android.market.apk hiding, for some reason I had two and no Vending.apk, probably from my moving things around trying to get it working. Thanks!
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
i just had this problem puttin the dark pink market on my gf's epic i just deleted the other vending.apk & rebooted & worked perfectly
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
The 9patch error is bad. 9.PNG icons... no biggie, just use the stock pngs instead... then after you compile it, you can use 7zip to open achive on the apk and drag in the themed pngs.... I do have gtalk... hit me with a pm on here with yours....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
Where's the decompiled apk@

& what specificly does a bad .9.png do if you don't fix or change it?

Sent from the Trans-Epic Express
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
it won't compile if the patch lines are corrupt or missing.. some .9.png's do not require to be patched and some roms even have bad .9's so we have to replace either all the pngs or the bad .9's with good, stock images first.. you can download the regular market and use 7zip on both apks and choose "open as archive".. go to the drawable-hdpi folders on both of them and just drag the images from the stock apk into the themed one.. then decompile and try to compile.. if it works fine, then you're ready.. and then once you get done, you can do the same method with 7zip and drag the themed pngs back into the new Vending.apk you make..
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
Ok ok... Is the decompiled apk in the mod folder or the projects folder

Sent from the Trans-Epic Express
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Projects folder... as a folder tho.. you'll see the Res folder.. inside that will be the basic folders plus values folders...colors inside of values is where the color edits are for what you wanna do....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok downloaded the stock market, & im assuming that all i need to do is replace the images that errored out on apk manager try a decompile again
[Android Themes] roscoenr:
Start with the first one that threw out an error and work your way down 90% of the time it is the first few one causing the problem. Once out throws an error the rest do.

Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Sorry.... driving now so I'm in and out... Roscoe knows tho... the way I do it is just drag all the stock images into the themed apk before decompiling.... but there are a few methods... as far as my Kameleon apps, they only self theme on themes that have altered system text colors... I made them to go with my themes since I have 9 and doing everything 9 times takes way too long... so I made the Kameleon Series to save me time.... so its not some new invention by any means... just some redirection of xmls....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
still its pretty bad ass tho & i know alot of people over @ the epic 4g forums would ish in their pants if they seen this lol, & i only had 10 bad .9's so i will just replace those with stock & it should decompile just fine?
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Did it error when you decompiled it or when you were recompiling?....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok so my market has images that errored that arent in the stock market

btn_dropdown_disabled_focused.9

btn_dropdown_pressed.9

btn_dropdown_selected.9

what do i do with these???
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
decompile... still havent done anything but huntdown the images that errored
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Does your vending.Apk have the mipmap mdpi folders?...
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
it sure does

Edit: minimap hdpi... not mdpi
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Try deleting the mipmap folders and the drawable-mdpi if its in there... it errors with those folders in... then try to decompile it....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
the market i have doesn't have any mdpi at all...its only for hdpi & it has minimap hdpi
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Ok delete the mimap folders then.. from the apk.. then decompile it.... you can add them back in when you compile it I believe....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
you believe... that dont sound very convincing...lol & the images in my minimap-hdpi arent the ones erroring??? & they arent .9's so it should be just fine lol but your saying that minimap will error out images in diff folders?
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
well ill get to this later i gotta goto work...:rolleyes: add me to gtalk if ya gotta chance, its sooo much easier than posting on a thread lol
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
is anyone on???
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
guess not lol but i got the next 2 day off i think i can maby even learn smali
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Sorry man.. my gmail wasn't syncing so I didn't know ya posted.... I'll hit ya on gtalk tomorrow... typically, PNG errors happen when ya compile the apk back up. Whether it's bad patch lines or a misnamed PNG... but they don't error when you decompile ... my settings apk and Google reader had resource errors and I have had PNG errors decompiling but it was cause they were dependant on another Apk ... once I loaded the right framework or 1.apk they decompiled fine.... confusing stuff.... and the only smali on this market is the app name text... if yours is black then it never got edited....
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
ok that kinda makes sense im a lil toasty right meow lol its bed time here but ya welcome to the world of 2MORO!!!!

Try Beautiful Widgets with additional weather animations (paid). You can choose between couple widgets (size form 1x1, 4x1, to 4x3) each witch different skins both for clock and weather. Sinks are being updated all the time.

With "weather unlock" animations You'll be pretty close to HTC clock.
