Several.... mostly I like it becuase I can find other games from other countries on it whereas before I would scour the Google play via my PC to see all the games.... thats how I found several Japanese RPG's and King of Fighters 3 weeks ago...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Wow, it looks very cool. Thanks for the tip.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DennisDroid:
Can we download with this games from Japan? I mean games like Ridge Racer :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Your welcome, enjoy the black themed market.....:D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
No it will let you see the apps but unless your phone is supported it will NOT let you download the app, plus i have already tried to install the Ridge Racer apk and it will not work as it is on our phones, as its for a Sharp Aquos 3D phone from Japanese carrier Docomo..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
How about the carrier check (the one thing preventing us Verizon users from buying the Playstation games that are on there)?

For example:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
DANG..... well guess not, I tried your link above on it and it still says not available...... I'm begining to question to what extent the modded markets removal of region restriction is....... I have seen some japanese korean apps that show up on it but didnt show up before.... but the ps1 games do not allow....hmmmmmmm ... sorry ya'll dont know what gives...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fearbrain:
Where is L.D.B.??

I would like to report this to him.

The mod is not working here. Still doesn't appear country restricted apps like Play Music (Google Music).

I'm outside US/Canada and I wish someone can mod Play Store so we (outside) can browse music, books and video stuff.

I can do this but I need to start WiFi hotspot on my laptop, through Hotspot Shield, clear Play Store data, and then access to full market.

Will be possible to mod this restrition?

Download Instructions?

---Instructions (theme):---

1. Download InvertedPhonesky and InvertedVending.

2. Flash both files

3. reboot

4.open market and there is your black theme!

OR

extract zip copy Vending.apk / Phonesky.apk Into system/app and set permision rw-r--r--

Umm, I was too scared to flash the zips (i usually get bootloops or problems even when others are successful,lol ) and Im used to manually copying system apps so I did the 2nd step from the thread. But Do we really need both apks (Vending.apk and Phonesky.apk to have this properly themed?) I only ask, because the Phonesky.apk is not originally in our system/app folder of our phone. I would think the Vending.apk is where the theming was done.

Edit** I do see the changes and its a nice look for the Play store.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Do you need root for this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Yes, root is necessary...this installs either via manually using root explorer to copy paste the files in the proper root only folders, or you install via Custom Recovery
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have modified Post 1 with the instructions and download links... before you had to go to my friends thread to get the files and info... but now its there on POST 1...... to fend off any confusion
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thatsupnow:
Ever since I installed this market it always gives me an error when downloading anything! I don't know I've tried it on my other play too and the same thing its totally ****ed I'm not gonna bother with this until that **** is fixed or just not bother at all. And another thing when I flashed the invertedphonesky.zip it gave me bootloops
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Thats why I manually replace system/app's instead of flashing in cwm. I get the bootloops a lot.lol. But about the "error downloading update" message I only got that error on one app that tried to update(apn backup+switch). It just updated google maps and Adobe flashplayer automatically and I didnt get errors.

*Edit* Just tried downloading a couple apps from Play Store, & all were fine except Facebook for Android app. For Facebook app I get "Error" Your order is processing. It will be available in a couple minutes."??? Is that just, because I deleted all Facebook bloat from my phone or what?

Ios suckkss.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cippi21:
Did you try market unlocker... Download it choose a US carrier and then you can download google music, movies and all that
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have done this on 3 android phones now and all worked without any issues.... dont know why you might be having trouble.....I have done 2 phone via the Custom recovery and the other just manually copying over the files and changing permissions.... all have worked well downloading all sorts of stuff and no worries...hmmm......strange
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thatsupnow:
Yea I'm not sure what the deal is kinda strange I also tried the manual way on both phones too and still the same thing its all good tho I'm not too worried about it

i can install it and it opens fine, but when i open the app again it has a white background..!!

Can anyone tell me why that happens??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thowiee:
Is it work in ICS?

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyraxx84:
Maybe because this is an older version of the Store and it updates automatically to a newer version which is unmoded.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sdojoin:
Yeah.. Maybe that's it. I'm having the same issue. Would delete the original vending.apk solve this prob??:p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyraxx84:
No, it always updates to a "normal" play store.

In OP you find the original thread and there you can find newer versions of the black one.

Hi everyone!

Tried to look around but couldnt find a good and objective Tutorial about complete creating a full theme to our system.

Im a graphic designer and really want to do this but if someone could help me?

I appreciate a lot!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
So sometime in the last few days I started getting an error when I try downloading any free apps saying "error processing purchase". I've tried several different things to fix it and the only temporary fix is to uninstall the Market/Play Store update. The only problem with this is that after a few minutes it changes back to the Play Store and I start getting the error again. Any suggestions?

Edit: I think I figured out something to fix the issue, clearing the app data for the Play Store didn't help but clearing the app data for googleservicesframework seems to have fixed it so far.

Funny, my brother has got the same problem. We are already trying to solve it..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:
sorry - never seen this error

do you use this account for other devices too ?

(that's what the guy in my last link had)

google seems to have real problems with google play ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Yes I use it on multiple devices. I thought renaming market updater.apk would keep it from changing to the Play Store but it didn't work.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdeli:
Ok, this solution helped us.

We signed in with an amazon acc.

(Dont think this has something to do with it, but who knows)

We deinstalled AND deleted googleservicesframework.apk, market.apk and our marketopener.apk. After rebooting we checked again if nothing is left.

Then we copied googleservicesframework.apk , market.apk in our system/app/ folder and marked the permissions on both to:

xx-

x--

x--

and installed them.

At last we installed the marketopener.apk out of the download folder.

(We got an error that market.apk stoped or something)

After restart, we were able to sign in with an existing google account (without another android device) and to download free apps.

[edit]

I had these problems because of multiple devices i think.

Do u have an error message that "google talk authentication failed" ?

Then check the first link b63 posted again. It helped me..just do everything exactly as discribed.

[/edit]
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
I don't have a MarkertOpener.apk, just MarketrUpdater.apk
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdeli:
That app is only for opening the market. You need something to open the market.

I downloaded my files from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTkegVrnAvA

"3. Download android market files"

We simply followed that video (except the deleting we needed).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Well, I think figured out a possible fix, I just need to give it a while and try downloading some more free apps. Force Stopping and Clearing Data for GoogleServicesFramework.apk and PlayStore.apk seemed to have fixed the issue so far. I've previously tried clearing app data for the PlayStore alone and it did not work, it seems like the GoogleServicesFramework did the trick.

I've been having the same issue and I'm running CleanRom ICS 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6 on my Evo3d though, I haven't tried any apk mods I'm pretty basic and far from dev material but I've tried the clearing catch and data a few times already and the last time didn't work at all ... I thought about your edit post multiple devices and went to my devices in the Play Store on the web and it showed my HTC Hero as last device used (had flashed a Rom and signed it with google) from the day prior, I ended up deselecting the device, then on my Evo went to Set Up and removed my google account and signed back in so it shows as my most recent device in the Play Store now ... So far so good, I haven't been getting the error or any at that.... Not trying to troll, long story short, just wanted to say thanks

I retract this statement, It did it again, I did have to fix my permissions and that did the job

When you check devices under the Play Store do you notice it is only showing the most recent device you "registered"? This is happening to me so that once I do the reregistering into the Play Store on one device (e.g. my KF) then I get the error on the phone and vice versa.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Hey guys, I got t-mobile and it's time to upgrade. Now I already have an HD2 and loved it since launch but I think it's time to move on, and this seems to be the most updated phone they are offering. So how is it?

Does this phone have any os options like the leo or anything neat about it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
About os options we have boot2geko(very pre-alpha),blacktrack 5,android ofcourse(ics and gb)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Okay so I have to give up all the openess of the Leo then? Which I guess is fine, I only really used android. Was fun to test all the other ones and see them work. :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
If you are into development then go for galaxy nexus

But if you want the beast then buy sgs2:D

But make sure you are buying i9100 and not other i9100G or i777 or some other

You can also wait for sgs3 or other new phones
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
I've had the Leo since launch, I am kind of tired of it. It's showing it's age lately with newer stuff and it's starting to have hardware issues from massive use. Why that model number?

I "wanted" one of those samsung notes but tmob doesn't get them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
If you get t-mobile one then you won't have international sgs2

i9100 is international one

So get this unlocked international one
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
If he plans on staying with T-Mobile USA as his carrier, than if he gets the I9100, he will only be able to get Edge data speeds on T-Mobile's network.

OP, you should probably be aware of that. This is the reason T-Mobile USA has their own variant of the Galaxy S II, which is the SGH-T989. (which, incidentally, has a separate forum)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffee4Eck:
I switched from HD2 to SGS2 and i love it... My Sgs2 run perfect only what i miss are the many customs roms... But indie and rgui make perfect roms... :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Glad to see someone else made the change, I feel bad since it's been a bad ass phone but it's just getting old.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Yes I plan to stay with them because as it is I pay I think 60ish a month for unlimited everything. So I am happy with that setup. I still laugh when verizon trys to sell me because we get a discount with them, for the same deal on there network it's 130 dollars a month after the discount. WTF.

Yes being stuck on just edge would kill me, I use my phone for skype A LOT.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
If you don't want to be stuck on edge, then you DON'T want this phone. (GT-I9100) This phone simply doesn't have the hardware to get the right frequencies to get a faster mobile data connection on T-Mobile USA's network. You are probably looking at getting the T-Mobile USA Galaxy S II variant. (SGH-T989)

While many general questions about the phone may apply to both models, you really should be asking your questions in the SGH-T989 forum. I linked it above.

EDIT to add: You may ask why I'm referring you to that forum... well, the hardware on the two phones are COMPLETELY different. They receive different frequencies, and they have different SoC/chipset/GPU. So firmwares, kernels, rooting methods - all different.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabilondo:
Since yesterday I switched too,from HTC HD2 to SGSII.I bought the ceramic white version of GT-I9100 and it looks awesome,I`m very happy with it.The HD2 is still working fine(it has hundreds of flashes I guess..haha),but its getting old.Now I coming with a question,where I can find a tutorial of rooting,installing custom ROMS procedure for SGSII.The HD2 forums has tutorials to start from zero.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Check the stickies in the General section. There are tons of links in a roll up sticky post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
I think you shouldn't buy the T-mo variant as there is a lot less development on those variants as most of the devs have the international variant which is the I9100.

But then again that's what I think.

Make you'r decision carefully.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
But the dude said he is staying with T-Mobile. So AGAIN, if he buys the I9100, he will be stuck with Edge speeds on T-Mobile. Which he also said he doesn't want. So if he wants a Galaxy S II that works with high speed on T-Mobile USA's network, he HAS to get the T-Mobile USA variant.

Edit to add: OR I've heard he could get an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and flash T-Mobile's modems to it. But why the heck would you want to do that? Those two phones are essentially the same (hardware-wise) anyways. And it's still not the I9100.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
I completely get you'r point, but if he is a flashaholic then going for the T-Mo one wouldn't be a very good choice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Perhaps not. But it's up to him. We can only give him the facts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamelot.sk:
I do not recommend you sgs2. I want to sell mine and buy galaxy nexus instead. For sgs2 there isn't fully working aosp ROM and it seems it never will be.

I think the signal is less consistent/good, but it's definitely still possible to get the great LTE speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RiPpeR_dUdE:
While benchmarks are great, they don't necessarily reflect real world usage. I enjoy seeing 50 or 60Mbps on my phone just as much as everyone else, but at the end of the day in most cases, you'll never actually utilize that bandwidth under normal conditions.

The difference between 20Mbps or 30Mbps and streaming of videos is completely irrelevant, as you only need around 5-8Mbps for full HD quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
I believe my speeds are just fine :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
time of day is a big contributor to the fluctuation in speed we get on our phones. location and of course whatever the eff at&t does to the network also make a big difference. to be honest, the leak is great, but i feel as though the official OTA (whenever that may be) will be so much more crisp in all areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
LTE speeds are about the same on CALC4 vs UCLA3 for me.

I'm on the north end of LTE coverage in KC, tower to the south is HSPA/LTE, tower to the north is HSPA only and a slightly stronger signal. I've noticed that the phone spends more time on HSPA on CALC4 where as on UCLA3 it bounced back and forth between LTE and HSPA. Seemed that UCLA3 favored LTE, even though it was the weaker signal.

[Atrix 4G General] Comp1demon:
I have an atrix 4g at&t phone. I bought the unlock code to unlock it. I figured it would be helpful for using it on t-mobile and worldwide.

My question is this. Is the laptop dock locked to at&t, or is it that if my phone is unlocked and I am on t-mobile can I use the laptop laptop dock online? I want to get a dock now that they are cheaper.

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
The dock is locked in no way.it it's simply a screen, keyboard and mouse pad. It connects via the phones modem, wifi or data.
[Atrix 4G General] psychephylax:
While the Lapdock is not locked to any particular carrier, you may find that when you plug your Atrix into the laptop dock you will not get online via the phone because it will try to verify that you have tethering enabled on your account. There's a workaround for that using RootExplorer/SQL DB Editor however....

I don't have t-mobile mobile data on my pre-paid sim so i can't do a lot of testing for you.
[Atrix 4G General] Comp1demon:
So if my unlocked at&t phone is using a tmobile sim with a plan that allows tethering the laptop dock should work online?
[Atrix 4G General] drchan121:
yes as long as phone has data and you have a active WIFI or Tethering plan the dock will work it is not tied to any provider
