And I think if you look at the site it says Facebook 3.2 with the date it was updated... If clicking the link and having BlackFacebook.apk download is really that confusing then maybe we aren't a part of the issue at hand... DJ is right, we aren't robots. We have jobs and families and lives. There are more than just us that do this stuff that will be happy to accomodate the version # in the download link but Team Black Out will NOT be doing that...

i don't know what the issue is, just delete the old before dl'ing the new!! it's not hard and makes things so much easier. thanks for all your work team blackout. it's appreciated. hope to see an update to black maps, i tried doing it myself but it's pretty tough one to do. thanks again guys!!

[Android Themes] polobunny:
Haha yes I meant to say unlocker in my previous post, but dang Swype auto corrected me! :laugh:
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Nice but that will only help in my theme chooser situation, VRtthemes need an apk to work with. It wouldn't be another option on a stand alone BlackOut apk's. We cannot give out apk's that are paid apps.

Yes but the trial and unlocking apk both have to match signatures, we can't reproduce other developers signatures.

[Android Themes] polobunny:
Makes sense, but are you sure the unlocker looks for a matching signature in the trial APK? It might only look for a package name or something similar, I'm not sure. Just throwing ideas around.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I've encounter many issues with trial apk's with unlocker apk's not working when we sign the apk. Also ones that require log in from paying to unlock the app. Astro file manager and Helium backup are just two off the top of my head.

[Android Themes] imaconeheadXD:
Right but carrying on further, since it is possible to extract the apk from an asec, and a VRtheme would have to be flashable, would someone be able to put the code to extract the asec within the updater-script, then replace the images and code? Such as extracting the apk, moving the apk to the /data folder, then flashing the code? That way your team doesn't supply any paid apk, but it would still be possible to theme the app and release the zip. Although extracting from the asec in recovery may require busybox, that is almost a standard for all rooted phones. Do you think this would be a possibility?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Very slim, not sure replacing an a asec with an apk can be an updater script line after using the VRTheme code. I'll look at it a little closer because if I recall VRthemes have the stock apk inside it's zip. That we couldn't do. I'll check it out though.

[Android Themes] polobunny:
I thought it only had parts that were modified, but it's been a while I've looked in metamorp/VRthemes too. Kinda given up on modding everything all the time haha!
[Android Themes] imaconeheadXD:
Well what I would do is extract the apk first then start the VRTheme code and it should work. And luckily VRThemes do not need any apks within the zip at all, just the modified images / files, which is why I first suggested it. Thank you for taking my suggestions into consideration, just trying to help the best become even better ;)
[Android Themes] dafoxs:
Yes, and the unlock needs the same signature which changes after we edit it

[Android Themes] micmars:
You two...just because a new shiny, Xposed thingy comes along, here you themers just complain...when users just want to play with their devices and have fun...and destroy the beauty that hard working devs like you give to us.

To those whom question why a dev shows disdain for Xposed, here's why...it is so powerful, and yet it reigns over the entire operating system.

In the hierarchy of things Android, you'll see devs grouse about finding xml code that points to colors perhaps, or harder still, smali code that looks like actual structured programming inside of a given apk...but then there is Xposed, and it's ability to reign above all of these.

Xposed hooks the init scripts that run Android, causing the system to run the Xposed modules before loading the normal system files. In a word, if an inverted app resides in system, and that app is in conflict with an installed Xposed module, the module wins every time.

It is a brilliant method, and yet unfortunately it's use can sometimes put a damper on development, as now many just throw Xposed into their roms.

And thus a compatible Xposed for lollipop, while a welcome tool for many, may also be seen as a curse to those whom understand that development is hard work, creativity, and an eye for excellence.

I consider myself the exception in that Xposed hasn't screwed anything up on 3 devices. I am confident my luck will run out at some point though...Great explanation Micmars. That better explained why it breaks things sometimes...

[MENTION=5476501]Train88[/MENTION] [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] masters, tell me if I'm going right toward the black side of the force!!

This time I had to edit some smali files, all new for me! As a side note, following the tutorial on the site, when I replaced a

const/4 v1 -0x1

with

const v1 -0x100

instead of black, I got a yellow background. Had to put -0x1000000 for it to work.
[Android Themes] Train88:
You have to change const/4 v1, -0x1 to const/high16 v1, -0x100....or if you wanted another way to do black it's const v1, -0xffffff (white would be const v1, 0xffffff)
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah it's changed a bit, you did fine.
[Android Themes] :
Just installed and seems to work fine, can't see any bugs. Looks great as well thank you [emoji1]
[Android Themes] Tonus1:
Great job, thanks for sharing!
[Android Themes] ezellohar:
I've tried const/high16 v1 -0x100 but got compiling error.... I wish smali was easier!

Anyway thanks guys, I'd never try this path if it wasn't for you! Next step, I'm trying to figure out how to create my custom swiftkey theme...I have looked into some custom themes of your, but I still cannot understand the logic...
[Android Themes] dafoxs:
You have to be real careful not to mess up the spacing between the v1 and the -0x100. Or try it with -0x10000000

Grab My NEW Wallpaper App

Uninstall the old one. this is now on my playstore.

2/13 added

[Android Themes] Train88:
Ah... yea, gotta try different ways sometimes for it to compile. What you did was basically set the BG at #10000000, which works for black apps, but if you made it clear it would be very transparent. You could just change it to like a 6 or 8 for clear [emoji12]

Swiftkey is pretty much like any theming any other app besides the code extension. I'd suggest trying one where you don't have to edit any 9-patch images first. Swiftkey makes that a bit more difficult than normal..
[Android Themes] ezellohar:
Thanks, will look into it! Tried also telegram, but even if I changed all setbackgroundcolor to black, it still shows white bgs...cannot figure out what is causing that.

Anyway, what does the "high" mean in 'const/high16'?
[Android Themes] micmars:
const/high16 means the values of interest are the upper 16 bits of the value, so in something like ffff0000, the high16 bit is the ffff, and it assumes then that everything in the lower chunk is a 0, and smali/baksmali used to make it so you didnt have to write those out, but later iterations now make it so you do need to, so for example black is -0x1000000, which used to be const/high16 -0x100, but in newer bak/smali iterations is written out as const/high16 -0x1000000.

[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
so I'm looking at the instructions & thinking..

Can I flash rom.. flash TBO.. then flash Gapps ?

Or do I need to boot once before Gapps ?
[Android Themes] jesssiii:
Me, I extracted BaNkS gapps zip, extracted the TBO zips I use (YouTube and Hangouts), added TBO to gapps in proper places, rezipped gapps and flashed with rom, clean install. Worked great. (I also added my font file)

VZW LG G2
[Android Themes] raycaster3:
Good gracious that was eloquently put. [emoji41]
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Well if by flash Tbo you mean flash the blacked. Out gapps, it'll be best to do that after the stock gapps. Zips will over write each other, so flashing stock afterwards could over write the blacked out one. It was generally recommended to reboot once before flashing the modified gapps, but seeing dirty unicorn with their pre packaged dark gapps, I'm not sure if it matters anymore.
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
I just said tbo since that's what the link pic is called.

Figured it might be a coined phrase my first time finding this.

Anyway I understand tyvm
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
Actually I do have another question.

Went to the download & it was a single apk

Can't flash an apk in recovery :-/
[Android Themes] zelendel:
Please stop and do some research about what your doing before you hurt yourself.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Um, what are you trying to do?

Before you start..try reading the entire op. There's the updater apk with all the themed apps and other things inside but please read the help section within the apk as well..lot of good info there.

Oh man tell me about it. Lmfao
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
Well so the instructions were clear. Don't be a goon & flash with anything from stock based play store updates.

So all I was looking for was the flashable zip.

Thanks all the same for.. well.. what's gone on thus far :D

I'll be sure to take a picture of the flaming phone for ya'll

/salute
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I didn't flame you, I just tried to help. Your call on if you want to try and use our apps. But reading before asking general questions is a good practice. Nothing in the OP says to flash anything. I have very nice instructions inside the updater. If you have questions outside those please ask. No flaming from questions outside what's already provided.

[Android Themes] dafoxs:
I did the Cal app for a friend. Figured I'd share it here. Its untested. Only in black

http://bit.ly/1LsCcLP
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
truth be told I didn't think you did.. I thought you were respectful.. but that's not somethin' I want to dwell on..

anyway.. now that I'm home on my computer instead of out on my phone.. I'll add some substance to what I thought I was doing.. & see where my holes are..

So the OP I was going from.. reading my instruction from & had decided I had a decent idea of what was about to go on was this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41545802&postcount=1

Which contains the phrase "Before you start read this:"

So I thought I was essentially going to be downloading a blacked out modded Gapps to flash in recovery.. that's what I had taken from the second portion of that quoted post..

So my plan was rom.. my gapps.. blacked out apps.. boot

If that is no longer true.. & the first part of the post is all that matters..

Then I would think I'd flash my rom & gapps.. let it boot then install the TBO updater without updating anything especially Play Store type stuff..

Are neither of those scenarios at all correct ?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Hmm, reading the OP you are correct but it is an assumption we have gapps...nothing states that in that OP [emoji6] .

But

I guess a better explanation is needed. Keep forgetting the forum is open to more newer users. I'll fix the OP to explain better.

It's this in a nutshell....

the updater holds everything...

you download and install themed apps one by one from within it's menu....

some install like normal apps

some flash in recovery..."we had to do the flash if normal install had issues"

The instructions in the OP are so you won't have issues before continuing but I think a general explanation will help.

That better?

DJ
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
so is it advisable to say..

do my clean wipe

do my rom install

do my gapps install

boot

install tbo.apk & update apps available via the updater

then enjoy ? ^_^

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how to set it up from a clean install before the "uninstall anything play store has done" comes into play.. I'd rather avoid that & set it up with a clean flash..
[Android Themes] Nimueh:
Why not just install the TBO.apk before flashing the new Rom?

Install app, grab the apps you want to flash/install, save them in the same place the Rom you want to flash is saved. Then wipe, flash Rom, flash Gapps, flash TBO apps that are .zip - boot, set up new Rom, install TBO apps that are .apk = done :)
[Android Themes] gippy2:
Working fine.... Brilliant.. [emoji106]
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
well.. truthfully that's too much for my fool self.. haha..

what if I didn't install gapps & just installed the rom.. booted then ran the tbo updater.apk ?

all this madness might be far more indepth sort of modding than I'm prepared for too.. I was just thinkin' it'd be simpler :D

like a clean install of a rom.. then single flash.. or single install & let it set itself up..

sad to say that's all us new 1 click root kids understand ;)
[Android Themes] Nimueh:
Well then you 1-click kids might need to look into becoming 2 or 3-click kids :laugh:

Just install the TBO update app and have a look around in it before wiping/flashing anything ... I'm pretty sure things will become clearer to you if you do :)

All you basically do is install/flash a couple of apps after downloading them from within the TBO app ... I'm sure even a 1-click kid can manage that :D
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I think you might be a little too worried but being new to this I totally understand your wanting confirmation before digging in.

Simple enough

Clean Rom/gapps install isn't needed with our apps..Just install and go unless there are notes saying otherwise.

Just make sure no stock versions are installed...system ones that we have zips for you need to only flash the zip and uninstall updates..No deleting needed. The zip will replace system apps.

Some things you gotta try it and just see what happens. Install the updater and see what you can figure out. My kids are using some of these apps with and without root.
[Android Themes] jaladhjin:
honestly I'm kind of a lunatic when it comes to clean installs.. I actually like doin' it.. I like the idea of everything setup perfect never a mistake made during the current session :D I even clean install Windows.. probably more times in a month than most people do all year.. just because I'm kinda nuts like that.. I'm aware it's a crazy compulsion I just don't care :D

So you say make sure no stock versions are installed..

To me I think.. what's the easiest way I can make sure no stock apps are installed.. without just goin' in with a file manager & deleting things from an active install..

& I come up with..wouldn't it be easier to just flash my rom.. flash my Play Store only PA Gapps Pico then boot & install the tbo.apk & install those before Play has an opportunity to attempt to restore my Google profile & install any stock apps..

Would that work ?
[Android Themes] WreckTangle:
Hmm, just checked the apks and they do differ in files and colors. Pushed the clear version to my own phone and noticed it stays black indeed. Will check clear versions over the course of next week.

What rom are you one, what Android version?

Have you tried the signed install?
