long time no see...

Well, as you all can tell I'm not living around these parts much anymore. I still check in from time to time, but primarily as a listener not so much a talker...

The fonts are not too difficult to change as they are all hex colors in the res directory....with a couple of very notable exceptions that must be found in smali :-/

My style for the market ever since they moved to the new "blocks" format has been to retain much of the default colors so as to be consistent with their intuitive UI...green for apps, blue for books, etc. My personal preference is to keep the color codings, although I know that there are others who like to change more aspects. Mines more like a modified stock I think.

No, that is not normal. It did happen in months past but we found an error in apktool that introduced bad character data in plurals.xml. That fixed the fc's....or at least so I thought. It's entirely possible that there's some other very small error with apktool that's causing a similar issue. The way I was lead back to plurals was very carefully stack tracing the logcat.

:-)

I mentioned it earlier, but most of them will be found in res/values/colors.xml. But there will be at least a couple instances that are controlled in code.

Lol...I didn't even know that there was one. It finally got pushed to me late yesterday. I haven't taken a look at all, and don't even know when/if I'll have the time to. I wish I could right now...but work calls... :(

Howdy Paul :) Hope all is well. My N1 is *still* going strong but I finally retired it as my main device and picked up a galaxy note :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
hey mate,yeah,it's alright.cool,galaxy note is a nice one.I am waiting for the galaxy s3.

btw google play is almost the same like the last markets.but some pngs changed their reference/function or the folder.the smalis and xmls are nearly the same,so these are easy to edit.just released my first google play 3.4.7 colored blue.

now I am working on the latest xda app...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OP updated with 3.4.7.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sticktaylor:
Pendo, Google updated the Play Store to 3.5.15 & I downloaded it yesterday morning. They made a few changes in it but I didn't play around with it for to long, the stock Market just doesn't look right anymore to me so I uninstalled it & installed the transparent 3.4.7 version. :D

Here's the new Market/Play Store v.3.5.15 - DOWNLOAD
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Ugh!!! I can't win for losing, lol. I actually had a few hours earlier this morning so I skimmed through the last couple months of stuff and then ported 3.4.4.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Thanks for the update my friend. I've been checking your thread daily since getting the ota.

You just can't catch a break can you. Luckily here in the UK we get the updates late so I should have a good week or two to enjoy your latest market.

I hope you're well and life is treating you good.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
op updated with 3.5.15
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shockwaverider:
Thanks again for the great work Pendo, it looks fantastic as always. I'm not sure what I managed to eff up on my end, but for some reason when I flash this it has a black background rather than transparent. I flashed a transparent dialer mod to see what would happen, and had the same result. Is there an obvious solution that comes to mind?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hmm...nothing immediately jumps to mind why that would be happening. I suppose your rom could've been compiled such that it only displays rgb565? It must be something system related if you have problems with other transparent items.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shockwaverider:
Not sure, but this gives me a starting point to look. Whatever it is, it's self-inflicted, since transparencies were working a couple weeks ago on the same rom, unfortunately I've done a lot of edits in framework-res in that time. Thanks again!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
what for a wonderful market again pendo! thank you so much for your great work. the stock market is boring but pendos transparent market with very nice other graphics is a must have for everyone! :cool: :) :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nitin1978:
Nice work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] firoz3321:
I am using 'Sebastiaan15's Runny AIO V6.0.7' ROM and though i Flashed the ZIP file it didnt work :(

I trid replacing the Vending.apk with RootExplorer but didnt work either :confused:

does that have anything to do with the Sense Rom compatibility ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PMGRANDS:
Nice! Thanks man...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GadgetFreak:
Have you thought about a green version? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vampir4997:
Try extracting the apk from the zip and just installing it. You may need to resign it after you extract it. Signapktic on the market works for signing:-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sticktaylor:
Here's the updated Google Play Store version 3.5.16 - DOWNLOAD
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MistakenUtopia:
It looks really damn nice! I wonder if it will work with HTC EVO 3D?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Lovely, thanks :-)

I'm actually out of town working a trade show atm and won't get a chance to work on his til sometime next week.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GadgetFreak:
It does...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
is it possible to disable autoupdate from market app? i don't love stock market and every update i lost the nice transparent market from pendo :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
updated to 3.5.16 :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
pendo, wonderful market again. thank you very much! one little bug: in menu "my apps - installed" i don't have a transparent background. it's black. all other sites are with transparent background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Ok, thanks...I'll take a look. Even though the apk itself didn't change that much, I put a lot of work into this one. I'm probably rusty, lol, but I spent most of the day yesterday fiddling with it. I ended up changing A LOT to get it all working on ics as well as keeping everything intact for 2.3 (or so I thought, lol). Lots of little name changes and since I don't know my way around api-11 and up a lot of time was just spent cross referencing the parent attributes of the styles for api-11 and api-14.

I never was able to get the settings menu transparent on ics. Also, in ics there are no icons for the settings menu...just text. Not sure if I can change that (well, easily anyway...it's certainly possible to do in ics).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
thanks for your work and time pendo! your market is the best. if it is not possible to change black background on "installed" site it's not really a big problem.

one question. i have seen that PaulDiddy have disabled autoupdate on his blue-market app. can you do this also on your transparent market? i don't need always newest market but i need your wonderful market ;):):)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikeauto3:
Hey Pendo, thank you for the market. For some reason I can't install ur market on my Toshiba Thrive tablet. Do you know why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I've made a few updates to the file linked in the op....please let me know if the my apps page is transparent.

Good 'ol PaulDiddy...he's really stepped up his efforts lately. I used to help him a little bit when he first started. I used to do this, but then they changed the way they update and it broke my edit. I'll try to take a look at his method sometime....no promises to integrate tho for now. ;)

There are 2 possible reasons....one is that your market is named something different so flashing mine is simply adding an additional apk. Packages.xml would still be listing the other apk as the source file. Or another reason might be that my updater script doesn't actually work on your device and therefore nothing's getting flashed.

If it's the latter, then simply extract Vending.apk from my zip and copy in place with a root explorer (set perms to 644 or rw,r,r). If it's the former, then all you need to do is find the name of the apk and where it's stored. An easy way to do that is with an app called DevTools by PandaDev. There's a feature called Package Browser....that will tell you where the source file is stored at. Look for the package com.android.vending
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GadgetFreak:
The market on the EVO 3D is named Phonesky.apk now, instead of vending...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikeauto3:
Thanks for the quick reply, my problem is that ur file doesn't want to install. In recovery, it's giving me an error. I know is not the recovery because, I installed a theme with no problems.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Oops! Sorry about that...I had an extra updater script in there that was/is being experimented with. It's fixed now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
so rename it to Vending.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vampir4997:
How can i stop the market from updating after installing? I froze maket updater with titanium but it still uodated
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vampir4997:
Nevermind figured it out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
hi pendo! in this case do you found some other bugs? i will test your great market as soon as your downloadlink is available. thanks for your time and work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No...it's my own kludging around that's the problem. Transparency is working fine for me, but many of my theme elements are coming from the style sheets for api-11 and api-14. I actually kinda have to theme the same app several times....I haven't even touched some of the tablet layouts.:o Anyway, while trying to fix the background transparency on the "my apps" page I've managed to black out the background everywhere lol...at least for anything below android 3.x.

I'm starting to get pretty discouraged about being able to leave work with ANY daylight left though so it'll be a while before I can really sit down with it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
all right :) thanks for your feedback and no sweat! if it's done then it's done :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
just some smalis,it's easy to do.If you like,I can upload them here or send them you by mail.

it's a pleasure for me to help you in order to thank you for your help and advice.

also released the latest market...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hello friend :)

Good job on the smali hack! I know for me at least, I really feel like I accomplished something when I figure out a smali edit...no matter how small it is, lol.

I appreciate the quick tip, btw...just send me a pm if you can. BUT....to all those who are requesting this...I don't know for sure when/if this will get merged in with my changes. I'm already falling further behind at work just from typing this, lol..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK...my market is back live again....but that's mostly due to the fact that I still haven't had any time to properly investigate (which involves reloading a 2.3 rom)

Also, I've had at least a couple people say they aren't having issues with it. I know transparency is fine for the higher api thmes. Anyway, since it's at least half working, lol, I wanted to make it avialable again. I'm working this weekend, too, and I'm not going to have the time to even say Android, let alone working on anything.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
okay now it's time to give you a little thanks ... with a little donation from me to you for your great work and time. thank you pendo! your update works perfect. now all sites are with transparent background. sooo beautiful :cool::D have a nice weekend.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
thanks.just sent a pm to you :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Totally unnecessary...but your profound gesture is certainly appreciated. :)

It is a nice feeling to know that even after theming the last 18 versions of the market (yep...going back to 2.2.6), that people still continue to enjoy using my work. :cool:

Thanks....haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I will. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] athoz:
Looks great and I am going to test it, i hope it is not heavier than the default play.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
Pendo you have the best themed Market there is...Thanks again for your continued work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
No update patch?

+1 on Mr. DSL comment and thumbsup to Pendo.

Edit: ok I feel pretty dum now to have written everything below after reading the last couple pages of this thread...sorry!

I'd like to know if your modded apps could also include the "no update" patch as Tsjoklat is doing here?

My understanding is that they currently don't and that it makes it impossible to use any older versions than the latest without having them to auto-update isn't it?

I also do not like the new system that shows all the apps that you ever installed on your phone since day one.. and would prefer to still use either 3.4.4 (still named Market) or 3.4.7 (first and very fast 1st Play Store) versions.

So, is it something that could be done?

I've been using Tsjoklat's v3.4.7 for a couple days now and it does the trick, but would much rather use yours...

Thanks anyway for all your excellent work on this.

Another Edit:

I gave a shot at the smali file editing and modded your 3.4.7 Market from the OP and it worked!! -> clearing the app's cache and data did not trigger an update like it usually does.

So I'm attaching it here if you don't mind - please PM me if you want me to remove it from this post.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Pony Express:

Thanks given!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mamadbahal:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
pendo is it much work to get your market flashable with a ICS rom? switched from GB 2.3.6 to hydrogen ics 4.0.4 and now can't flash your market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
The easiest way is to find a flashable zip that currently works with your rom and then just using that as a template and adding vending.apk to it and rezip it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RotesMeerJogger:
okay thanks for this hint. i will try this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Couple of small tweaks added to the market. The first one is so all apps will show regardless of your dpi setting (this is an issue with the Galaxy Note among others). The second is that the auto update has been 86'ed. :cool:

Please read the note in the op about the renaming of the apk..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aalvico:
I can't check the box to agree with payments so I needed to go back to default one to authorize then install custom back. Except of that everything is working :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I tried to verify this but am not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the popup for paid apps that says an error occurred? If so, I believe I may have found out a little more about that error. I'd seen it several times before on my Note but only recently checked the logcat. It seems to happen when there is a change in the UID of the app. Free apps and updates will work fine, but when you try to buy an app that popup would stop you. The solution is....ready??? Don't do anything that would change the UID.:D Best ways to avoid this are to replace the app while core is stopped (ie in recovery) and also use the same apk name. Don't resign it either.

Now...also while investigating this report, I found the add credit card page had unthemed buttons so I fixed that and updated the op.:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tczhang:
Hi Pendo,

I believe you knew that 3.5.19 is out :) Can I expect having your gorgeous themed Play Store soon?

Thanks.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djase:
no Google Playstore 3.5.19 modded ?

i think this topic need to be locked
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smokem_I:
Why would this topic need to be locked??? He's only missed one update and that is the current version... Pendo has put lots into these mods that everyone else has either used or learned from... Even if Pendo doesn't respond there is no need to lock his thread! There are plenty of threads around that need locking and this isn't one of them.... If you want the new Play Store modded learn to do it yourself :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djase:
no more update ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
latest google play store 3.7 is available.but can't decompile it :( maybe pendo can help....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
i hope he can help i need some transparent 3.7.11

lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
and another question,master pendo:

my market doesn't look transparent and blue on some devices.what have I to change in order to make it running properly on the note,for example?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry y'all...

I know I've said this before, but now I'm *really* slowing down on the android stuff. Things at work have just been nuts....although I will say I'm pretty excited about it as it's a GREAT opportunity.

I'm still personally using my 3.5.16 lol. No promises, but I'll grab a new apk and see what I can find when I try to decompile.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Just decompiled 3.7.13 just fine.:) (at least no apktool errors)

It really should've been transparent, especially on the Note cause that's what I carry. But as android has expanded to cover so many devices across multiple api levels, I discovered that I needed to make some edits in multiple places...ie styles-v13, styles-v-14, etc. Although you could just copy these edits and they would "work" most of the time, they sometimes won't look nearly as nice as they could if they mod was tweaked specifically for that api.

Another thing that interferes with my theme is the t-mobile theme engine. Most of my theme is left untouched by t-mobile themes because most themes don't go as deep as I did in the Market, but somethings like buttons and a few icons will probably change. Nothing I can do about that..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
would you please provide your framework files which allowed you to decompile the latest play store properly?and maybe the apktool?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
http://d-h.st/lTC

There you go:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
thanks,mate.

but unfortunately I still crashes.

Hey Pendo how are you doing?

1st-off: thanks for all your good work again - your Market looks awesome and I keep bragging about to my gf with her un-rooted One-X ;-P

If you don't mind, I would have another general demand to formulate: would it be possible for you to mod the v3.4.7 for the 'no country/no device restriction' workaround? I've already did the no-autoupdate myself and been using it since April but I can't figure out how to apply that other mod.

The reason(s) why I prefer to use that older version is that [like mentioned here] v3.4.7 is the last available version that allows Titanium Backup to control the Market links in the application. I don't know if that's the truth or not, but nevertheless, I prefer that older version anyway because I do not like to have a place where I can see each and every apps that I ever installed on my phone listed. I don't need all the other extra crap that Google keeps adding in either...

Anyhow, that is my "please, pretty please" request to you. If you don't feel like it or don't know how: no biggie; I'll keep digging around and might find out how to do it. But if you do, it would make my day big time! - living here behind the Geat firewall, I gotta fight those restriction out...

Cheers and thanks again.
