Quick notes have a clear background while typing, then default to a solid background in the color of your choice once saved. They become semi transparent when selected.

You can click the paint pallette icon and change the bg color to whatever you want, the text will remain white.

I need some feedback!

1. I'm wanting to know if I should keep Google now with the cards an off black so they stand out our go back to solid black?

2. Do you think if wet cut back on some of the apps that are rarely downloaded we could start offering the colors to more apps and also theme them more..like images and dividers?

3. If we found a developer that would make us a new app that acts like the playstore with individual app notifications. Would it be a bad thing to charge more for the app so we can pay a developer to do it right and maintain it for us?

These are things we think your feedback will help with these decisions. I don't wanna be that team that doesn't listen to feedback anymore. Also if you have an opinion on what we can do to make apps look better...it's now always welcome...doesn't mean we will do it but I've changed some things based on feedback even after saying no the first time.

On that note please don't bash each others feedback or get upset if we use it or not. If it gets too heated I'll just do a poll on the OP so it's fair. Otherwise what we decide is always the final decision. We have great tutorials on how to theme and invert apps. If we stop maintaining or supporting an app by all means take it over...ask another dev to do it...whatever..I'll even give up the code to it so it makes it easier for them. Our code is open to anyone as long as they give credit...KANG AWAY!

Thanks again everyone for your sorry and patients with TBO.

I would like to see the cards on Google Now made solid black. Also I think it's a fantastic idea to cut back on the number of apps and devote more time to the most wanted ones. More colors would be great. Finally I'd gladly pay extra for a newly developed downloader app. You guys all do such a fantastic job,and myself and many others greatly appreciate your hard work.

To start with - Team Blackout has and likely will always be my "Go To" source for Blacked out apps!

They're beautiful and they work!

For what it's worth - My 2 cents - Team Blackout is about Blacked Out Apps - I would hope that Team Blackout continues with the Blacked Out Apps.

Again Personal preference - The colored apps are of less interest to me.

You (or anyone else) can't expect to be all things to all people.

My thoughts are - If you find that your resources are getting stretched - Focus on the Core Apps and others that are consistently downloaded in high numbers.

Thank You for ALL the time & efforts that go into the Team's work! ?
[Android Themes] freak.hh:
To set the focus on the apps which more user are downloading and cut development of rarely downloaded apps could be a good point and makes the life easier for you ;) .

Also to sell some apps for a good price would be fair.

I think a lot of people are willing to pay for a perfect inverted app with regular updates.

Yup, downsize, optimize the big apps to allow for quicker updates, and a big yes on charging and keeping up with a better blackout app...

Also, any chance of updater scripts in the flashable apps so that when dirtying a nightly we don't have to reflash all our blackout zips?

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Unless it's a system app included in the Rom you shouldn't have to flash them each time. Otherwise there's no way to keep them from being replaced because the roms have scripts to delete them. I don't flash gapps on Rom updates but just for those who like to make sure everything stays and permissions keep in tact I'll do a write-up and provide a zip so you can make your own zip to flash everything at once. It's super easy to do if you know how to drag and drop files to and from a zip on your pc then your a master already. I do it for myself but I add in boot animations, notification sounds, font and some other mods to mine.

Thank you for that feedback. It gave me the idea.

DJ
[Android Themes] fly4awhtgye:
The blacker or clearer the better on G Now.

I like the idea of a higher fee to provide a better maintained updater app with notifications.

I like the idea of keeping the app list smaller based on download number and reviews and do a select few colors and more theming.

In particular, I believe Google Apps should be the core of Team Black Out. In my view, Facebook and Twitter have got to be high on the list based on the popularity of the apps.

I'd like to see the number of similar apps reduced. For example, TBO has themed so many streaming music apps. All are great, but sometimes users need to pick a 2nd best option if first isn't on TBO's radar..

Finally, to keep paid Updater app users happy, some releases need to be kept off of XDA and Facebook initially. Similarly, some releases should go Beta only once T-Bot's looked and tested them first. There has gotta be an incentive for users to get the app or be a T-Bot.

Great work on everything. It's amazing what you and the Team did in such a short time!

Can i use those black app for 2.3.* / cm7?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Awesome, only one thing I wanted to actually comment on, the open beta will be a testing ground for feedback on theme changes vs bug reports. Like Google now changes or even if an app had issues theming a certain area we would like to know if this would be acceptable or should we scrap the project. The reason behind this is we have some updates that never see light of day because of minor issues...like Facebook there's a white background that's now not inverting but doesn't take away from the app. Kinda shows what we are dealing with on a daily basis so people know we are not abandoning the app completely. The way we are doing it now isn't going to continue, we did that just to give out something while we were on break. T-Bot's will go back to the way it was, test before we post.

The premium updater will definitely have more options and features as the free. Wallpapers, icon packs, theme chooser themes, boot animations...etc like now but way more added.

Definitely good feedback and also helped with this decision.

Thanks buddy!

Ill speak for myself. I probably won't be updating some of the lesser downloaded apps. Its getting harder to do this and not worth the time for a handfull of downloads.

Hi DJ, could you please post the zip you mentioned when and if you create it? I know (hope) how to use it but I am not sure if I can create it :D
[Android Themes] :
I think the paid playstore type of app is a great idea and would hopefully lighten the load on the team and help maybe get rid of the repetive "I can't find this" and "how do I install this"

From a strictly personal view I really miss your holo blue apps but googles themeing is bloody awful. So really team blackout should sack google and take over the whole playstore.

On another side note how do we apply to be tbots?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Sure I suggest using 7zip because it's simple and easy to drag and drop files from zip to zip. Also I haven't officially made it with the correct scripts so If your just updating your rom and already have those apps installed it should be fine. I will work on the scripts and post the official one once I finish fixing the beta's.

Also note themed apps don't like to be installed after a factory reset "Clean install" so they might fc or not even show up. The stock versions have to be booted up before the theme versions will take in the system. That only applies to system apps and most gapps.

I like some slight off black to maintain card feeling.

As others have said, cutting back on number to focus on a core set of apps would be beneficial to everyone involved.

I have no problem paying for this. I'm afraid you will catch some flak from some people who feel entitled after paying for the original app, but you definitely have my support.

I agree cutting back the list of apps that a lot don't use would be better for the team and the users. I personally like the blacked out and inverted/holo apps the most. I would gladly pay more for an updated tbo app. For those who already bought the app and will have an issue paying for another app well..... you can't make everybody happy ;)
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Not sure we will start over with the updater, thinking we might just replace the old one so you don't have to pay again. But for new users it would be like $3.5. Just wanted feedback on if that's a wise choice or not.
[Android Themes] buckhunter:
I think its a great idea :thumbup:
[Android Themes] jugg1es:
I like the idea of cutting back to concentrate on the more used apps and gapps (especially gapps) I've not had the app that long (just before all the issues with it) it hasn't bothered me in the slightest though. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a fresh updater especially if the above was true. Just my tuppence worth.

the difference between bravery and foolhardiness is in the outcome

Just adding my 2 cents to a new paid updater, you guys do these apps pretty much for free. Sure you're not reinventing some new concept but you are filling a huge void left when most app designs have turned away from dark themes. Still wondering why apps don't come dual or multi themed to begin with... anyways, people have been redoing apps or theming them and selling their versions on the playstore for up to 5-6 $. (Plume?) And that's awesome, I have nothing against anyone making some cash for their time and effort. Long story, short... put out a paid updater app and charge whatever you want. If people don't like it they can kick rocks and use stock or try to find all these great apps in 1 place. I personally wouldn't do requests and simplify. You guys especially dj and dafoxs have been busting ass and stretched to thin. Anyways keep up the great work and loyal users should have no problem paying out a few bucks to keep their devices blacked out, clear, and classy. :thumbup:

I have no problem with giving bigger payments (say $10) to TBO, but I would like to give my opinion and say that it is best to avoid making each app a paid app individually... that would simply deter a lot of users.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah that's not what we are going for. Just something to offer a developer incentive. This is all hypothetical too, just wanted to get feedback. Most likely if you already paid for it you won't have to again. We would most likely ask for donations if need be. But that's last resort.
