[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
(Stick with the other fixes for now..or the one above the line. Just had my first nightly reboot ever. And it crashed the working store! Got it up working a few times.. but not with a 100% success rate!)

Easiest and safest way (but ugliest way) to get a working black store is still:

Choose DPI you want. Download 'Google_Play_Store_Multi_DPI_Fix.zip' and 'GaboWinter_PitchBlackThemeApps_Remix2.3.zip' to a place one the phones internal sdcard (or external if you so prefer) Check them both out with winrar before and after putting them on Sdcard!

Reboot to recovery, flash Google_Play_Store_Multi_DPI_Fix.zip. Login on phone go to settings apps /all apps and clear google play store, and clear google framework. Reboot.. clear google play store again.. start it and see that you see all your installed apps, and can search for Navigon Europe.. If you can congrats you now have a working white store! (where you can probably change DPI freely)

Now to make it black, reboot back into recovery and flash GaboWinter_PitchBlackThemeApps_Remix2.3.zip let it optimize the (10?) apps. Login and go to the play store.. and you chould with 99% certainty have a fully working black store in the DPI you choose earlier, just to be safe. Don't change the DPI or clear the store again.... It's probably just a week and a half left until next release ( written friday 15/6 ) ... and the most important step of all.. don't read anything below this line unless in a really experimental mood, just ignore it!

OK! Finally found an easier.. well cleaner at least.. way to get a black store up and running at 184 or what ever you run! Reproducable and backupable!

Make a backup first to be sure!

(Not sure if you need to install the default white theme or store first, I guess it's best, at least to get the black talk.apk working, if you have problems with that. And you have nothing to lose by trying it. If you still have black store problems!) <-More on that later down.

(If you used my Ghetto-fix from the faq or MyLifeRocks10's fix you want to extract GoogleServicesFramework.apk from the main 2.3 rom zip, under /system/app/)

move that and Gabo's themes http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27396060&postcount=46073 to a place you remember on the internal SDcard

[if already using my ghetto-fix or MyLifeRocks10's multi.dpi store fix. First boot up the phone and rename (with a rootable explorer) /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk to the same but add .bak after it, and copy the new one to it's place, and change permissions to rw r r reboot into recovery else skip this step]

Then flash Gabo's Pitchblack Theme, it optimizes itself only, and therefore for some reason stays on even after a backup.. (tried fix permissions and wipe dalvik and clear cache on my earlier attempts with only the black store.apk, but it didn't stay when making a backup!?)

If you used my fix or MyLifeRocks10's, and already had a working store.. but with a nasty fix.. you should by now see your store still working, at least in the same DPI as you had it working on before. But with 'clean' files.

*Tested, but not with 100% success-rate, from an empty broken black store (If not start with flashing Gabo's default theme. Login to phone and check that everything works as it should, take a look if the store works fine in white on the DPI you want and are using, else clear store and google framework, and reboot, check the store again, if needed clear store again, check store. If not working try it in 240 DPI. If working then go back to recovery and flash Gabo's Pitchblack Theme, and let it optimize itself. Login to the phone and check the store. Hopefully you have a fully working black store in front of you!) As said, didn't make it 100% reproducable on my phone, and not surviving a backup!*

(Please PM me if it works or not the *untested stuff* I'll try it out tomorrow.. But can't stand another failure or another restore today!) Tested But not with 100% success-rate

Do this only if you are a neat freak when it comes to your phone, and have too much time on your hands, and a broken black store.apk

Else go for my ghetto-fix in the faq for a black store.. or if you are satisfied with a white store do MyLifeRocks10's fix in the faq.

To know if you have a by AOKP standards fully working store search for 'navigon europe' as a 'benchmark' between working and not fully working store.

I just wanted to get this fixed once and for all, without ugly files! And couldn't sleep until I figured it out!
