Hi everybody,

OP UPDATED :

I just wanted to share these beautifull Inverted Black and Blue Apps. I'm only a messenger here, and had the kind authorisation and support of

NCANDIANO

to post these here for everybody. Please thank him, and most important, go show your love on

ROMDROIDHACKS

Forum, which is really great !

I didn't made these, so I'll take no credits. Please thank NCandiano, and ROMDROIDHACKS :

Original Thread here : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/

The amazing TWISTED(X) Theme, made by NCANDIANO, will only work with KILLROMS , but as he's a real Gentleman, he made separate inverted apps only package, for us to use with all other Roms (should work on all J.B ROMS.)

What you'll find (Quoted from Twisted(X) Thread) :

Inverted (Black and Blue) GApps & Extras:

TwistedAppsOnly: http://db.tt/DX8nht1F (Contains for your pleasure: Updated Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, MMS, and Keyboard, Google Now, Email, Calculator, Google Talk, Phonesky(market))(This pack can be used with any 4.1.1 Roms. Google Now may have to be installed seperately, however.)

Flashable App-Zips: For your convenience. In the event you'd like to sample one or two flavors, this is the menu. Have at it.

Gmail: http://db.tt/1veBVDpY

Calendar: http://db.tt/nOxUy7b4

Contacts: http://db.tt/ezCjuaxC

MMS: http://db.tt/dXKhhsf2 (This is the Mms from KillRom, with QuickText)

Keyboard: http://db.tt/VbXsfbbI

GoogleNow: http://db.tt/jDLqcwM0 (You need to be on the updated Google Search from the market for this to work. See disclaimer above regarding if it doesn't take on the first flash!)

FOR BETTER AND NICER AND BIGGER SCREENSHOTS, WELL GO TO : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/

I particularly advise using these apps with the wonderful RASBEANJELLY ROM, which is already all Black and Blue : http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro

OR of course using the Original Theme with KILLROMS : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/

Instructions for flashable zip : wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot

.

If you want to revert to stock apps...then you'll have to flash again your Rom after having performed a cache and dalvik wipe.

Usual Disclamer : I'm not responsible for the damages that these could eventually cause to you phone. I suppose you're grown-up people, so you don't need me to hold your hand...blah, blah,.......BUT these apps should not harm your phone if you follow instructions...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Yay... Looking good. :D

Thanks for sharing.

Would it be possible for me to edit the text (e.g in Gmail) to white?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
I'm just sharing mate, and won't change anything to it, sorry.

You can talk with NCandiano though on DroidHive Forum, he's a nice guy, and maybe he would help, don't know....:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Thanks, I realize you're just sharing, but was wondering if someone knew how to change the color myself. Anyway thanks for posting. :)

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
That's strange....

Try this one and report ; you don't need to delete first the old one, just put the new one in system/app folder, it will override it, and the phone will reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waallen:
Oh, that's must be why then. I had moved out of the /system/app folder the original velvet.apk in my attempts. Now even if I move it back to the app folder, the stock google search app won't appear in the apps list no matter what. I guess I have to flash gapps again and then follow your procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
Yes, i think deleting first the file must "disturb" the system somehow...

Try with the Quicksearchbox in OP, and if it doesn't work, then try the Velvet one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.

Remember to check that permissions are set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
Link me to the ROM you're running. That apk is a ***** with different ROMs mostly because its new. I'll build a working velvet for you later tonight and post by tomorrow.

I am using the 9th August release of rascarlo ROM (http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro)! That's very kind of you!

You are right, I should've just renamed it. That was my bad, I thought that following the rootzwiki inverted gmail client installation procedure would work with those apk as well (mount /system for W permissions as root, delete /system/app/gmail.apk and then install the custom gmail.apk as a normal apk file).

For the record's sake, I've tried flashing latest gapps but I couldn't manage to make google search pop again. Maybe I should just do a clean flash of the rom again and try with the correct procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
What's strange is that i'm using too Rasjellybean 9th Aug , and i installed this without any issue.

So volapyk is right , this could be a permission problem.

Vaalen , have you tried the velvet apk too ?

And before reflashing default gapps , have you wipe cache and dalvik ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
Flashable Zips- Black Velvet Forthcoming

I added the apks into flashable zips. They're generic zip flashers they'll work in any recovery. Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash. It's not always just the name with the QSB apk, so I'm going to put together a Velvet.apk when I get home later, in the meantime these should make for easier installs for those who don't want to be messing around in the system/app folder. I'm PMing you the links because XDA won't let me link (not enough posts,) If you would update the OP I'd appreciate it.

**Black and blue UI, Framework, and Inverted Notifications Shade are only supported at the HIVE for Axiom ROMs at the moment.

Enjoy your JellyBean!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
OP is updated with your flashable zip NCandiano, again a huge thank to you. As i said i just wanted to use these apps on other roms, and pulled these from your beautiful PZ Theme, and with your permission posted here.

But i didn't think you'd come and offer us even better :D ! That's great mate ! You deserve your own thread for your own work buddy ! I'm just a user who appreciate and share your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Flashed MMS apk and gmail apk. MMS apk works great except when you click a thread on the main screen the area you click doesn't highlight. Is this how it should be? Also gmail apk only screen that is dark is the main home screen. When you click to read an email it is white. Normal as well? Thanks!

Updated OP: New Web Address

So the Hive is now apparently krackflashers.com. You can find my OP there and I've added a zipthemer mod for the ics blue Triage softkeys you can pick up. Please add to the OP when you have a chance good sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waallen:
Thanks for taking your time to build those flashable files! I've only tried the QSB one and it has installed properly (wiped cache and dalvik from CWM recovery mode). Google Search works correctly but as soon as I turn google now on, it force closes and it does so until I clear its cache/data from the settings->apps menu. I'll keep it like this for now and try it again the next time I have a chance to clean install my ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Run L1ke H3LL:
If you install these make sure you have a recent nandroid to fall back on if you don't like it. Re flashing the ROM is unnecessary as stated in the OP.

That being said I didn't like the apps and obviously went back to stock. I didn't like that the icons on the home screen were altered and I didn't like that the email app had some meme face show up in the sender picture area. Not professional. Also Google Now didn't work for me and it would not allow me to use jelly Beans expandable notification feature. Fix those things and I'll flash them again. I like the concept just not the execution. Sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
I appreciate your opinion. These are my apps and as the OP said, they were built for another ROM. Aokp, cm10, vanir, and AOSP based ROMs all treat quicksearchbox differently, as noted in previous posts. As for app icons those can be easily traded out using your launcher, or 7zip if you're in a pinch. The meme face is due to be replaced shortly by a more "professional" blue android. Again, another ROM, another forum, and another joke gone by the wayside I suppose. When I get the bugs worked out I'll let you know. Thanks again for the feedback, I've been at this for about three weeks and its a work in progress.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
They're built on a toro running an AOSP ROM with AOKP ROM control kanged in. Google now is touchy, but it runs perfectly on patient zero.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bostonbassman78:
I'm very new to all this so I just wanted to be sure it will all be good and what's patient zero sorry for the noobness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
If you're new, make nandroids. Make a full backup in recovery so if you flash and it doesn't work, you can just restore everything. As you go along you'll find a nandroid every once in a while is fine, unless you want every text conversation etc. There are apps for that too. Going between new ROMs for example AOKP and CM10 you should never restore system data at all, it'll muss things up for you. Patient Zero is just a ROM I'm running right now from my favorite developer. Good luck flashing and pm me if you have any more questions. I'm new to developing but I've been a crackflasher for years :).

I'm on CM10 and I can't seem to replace Google Now to the inverted version provided. I did all of the following:

1. Downloaded the Velvet.apk posted a few posts after the OP and replaced the Velvet.apk in system/app and fixed permissions. I rebooted and nothing was changed. Google Now launched like before and everything was still in stock colors.

2. Downloaded QuickSearchBox.apk and copied it into system/app (Velvet.apk was still there as I didn't delete it like you guys said) and fixed permissions. I rebooted and nothing was changed. Google Now launched like before and everything was still in stock colors.

3. I flashed QuickSearchBox provided by NCandiano in CWM and once again, when it booted up, nothing was changed in Google Now. Everything launched and appeared like before.

Any input?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erapmicks:
thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCandiano:
Which cm10 are you running. Link me to the ROM I may be able to work on it tonight, if not tomorrow morning. I haven't spent much time with it and would like to get a velvet-compatible version up and your ROM would be a good place to start considering your experience with the current file.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
Tried quicksearchbox on slim 2. Renamed it to velvet.apk and replaced ROMs velvet.apk. worked, but gnow didn't displayed text. For instance the weather card was showing the sun but not the temperature. Rolled back my old apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
Always doing a nandroid is the right reflex and procedure. Now reflashing your ROM to go back to stock apps is not unnecessary it is just as effectiv and faster.

Anyway thank you for your feedback.

I will update and improve the OP to make it nicer and most important to make instructions clearer.

AND NCandiano has prepared new goodies for us ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
Thats strange cause it should work well or not at all....

I noted several times that sometimes gnow doesn't update information immediatly and so some are missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
I'm not sure but if both velvet and quicksearchbox apps are in your system/app folder that may cause the issue.

That's why i advise to override the default one or flash it directly without adding or deleting anything in your folder.

Try to wipe cache and dalvik then reflash your rom and then wipe cache/dalvik and flash the file (or overide it).

If that doesn't work then NCandiano is right. Gnow is touchy with some rom.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
The OP is a little confusing (or I'm just having a hard time reading).

The first link for the theme is obviously only for one specific ROM. The APKs are good for any ROM. But what about the flashable ZIPs? Will I be fine using them on an OTA JB ROM? I'll be making a nandroid backup, naturally, just wondering if they're compatible to save me the hassle.

I had GMail Dark Holo before but a recent update undid the theme.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
Hy everybody,

I can flash my X10 mini pro (U20i) with the sonyericsson tool and with the flasher.

I installed some firmwares but I get the same all the time.

The phone starts up to the start screen.

There I have to move the slider on the screen to unlock the phone.

But I cannot move it with the touchscreen.

And it seems the phone reboots after a while automatically.

What do I have to do to make it work?

I guess it can't be that all firmwares have the same problem.

And I read out the exact model of the phone with another tool. So I guess I used the right firmwares.

Markus
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you used the right firmwares depends on where you got them from :)

If you downloaded them from the x10mini dev section, they won't work, because the x10mini has a different touchscreen :)

So tell us which links you used, and maybe we can point you in the right direction
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
I tried this one e.g.:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125587

Because its a combination of flasher and firmware.

But it behaves like all others I used.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You can get it back on original firmware using SEUS or PC Companion?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
When I flash it with the rom the original software (pc companion in repair mode) tells me it does not work either.

I would like to go back to 1.6 the telefone came with.

but it seems I can only get the update to 2.1.

And I tried with some xperia models like Xperia X10 mini pro and Xperia X10 mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Hmmzzz, weird... you sure you have this phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
Took 2 pictures of my phone (with my other xperia mini pro :) )

Wondering why the button son the side look different...

Un the inside it says U20i.

Please tell me what model that is..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Yes, that looks like the u20i, so that can't be the problem.

Were you on 1.6 when you tried flashing the custom ROMS you tried?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
the buttons on the side look different because that isn't a closed X10 Mini Pro, it's a Mini :)

if you can try getting a logcat during boot - we can see if something isn't loading properly then

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
I did not check what version was installed when I reflashed it.

I thought it will work exactely the same way as with my other phone.

But I guess it was never changed so 1.6 should have been installed.

How would I get a rootcat while booting?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wizkoder:
How could I get the logs from a phone that does not start?

ADB is android's debugging tool on the pc.

If you want a log of what happens when the phone starts use: adb logcat > log.txt with your phone connected via the usb-cable.

The log.txt will contain just about everything that happens after the kernel is loaded.

If your phone is stuck before the ROM gets loaded, try to redownload and reflash the kernel.
