Some things pointed out in this post have prompted me to reply. Sorry Raycaster3, but you can't put out a blanket statement that someone does or doesn't have time based on your experiences - there are plenty of people that have things going on in their life or other priorities, etc that you can't account for. The fact that you have accomplished so much and were able to contribute is great - however it's not fair or even polite to attempt to call out others on this. I don't intend this to be a personal attack on you, I just feel your comments aren't fair.

Now, before everyone starts screaming sour grapes, I will say I did not "take the test". I also didn't reply saying I was to busy, nor have I ever asked to be a T-Bot in the past. To be honest, it's never occurred to me to ask prior to the recent posts. I've helped DJ with a random app or two over the past year, mainly in response to a bug or issue I mentioned with a specific app, but that's all, and very very minor.

I'll also mention, having to participate in an internet scavenger hunt of sorts wasn't really my idea of how to gain access to being a TBOT. While I do understand some of the underlying reasons behind DJ putting it out there that way - a bit of weeding out process I suppose - it's not something I was/would be interested in chasing down for admittance. But, that's just my opinion, and we all know what they are worth. Not to get into details, but I do work in the field, and do enough coding every day - that in fact for my personal life, I just want to be a "user" :). I'm sorry if that sounds selfish, but it's true. I very much appreciate all DJ and DaFox, BBoy and the others do, am a donater, as well as participate productively (imo) in the thread, and have for some time. Not wanting to become a TBot, whatever the reason - shouldn't be thought negatively upon, imo.
[Android Themes] :
Brilliant news and I hope you consider putting another tbot competition up, maybe set us an assignment to rest our skills or something
[Android Themes] marcran75:
Just want to start off by saying the I love all of the work put forth by TBO. That being said I have to say that I am getting a bit turned off by some of the comments on here lately. This is the only thread that I subscribe to where it seems to be common practice to speak about other users in a negative light. I understand the questions can sometimes be redundant and repetitive but a higher level of restraint needs to be displayed IMO. Sometimes I feel as though I'm reading comments from a bunch of high schoolers gossiping about each other. There, I spoke my two cents. Hope I didn't piss anyone off.

Your absolutely right. I was about to say WOW, WTH ARE WE DOING HERE.. these long ass post are out of hand. Just like in high school, I get past the first sentence and say screw this. This is just ridiculous.

DJ tried to do something nice for all and it turns into a, who's got the biggest balls contest.

Cool it and let's get back to business

Not so much scared off, but in my case I use a lot of other mods. Kind of a deal breaker there. I'm fine just being a TUser.

Ok, let's get back to the normal topics here.

Defending why you didn't or couldn't participate is clear.

But this has shown me a ton and also you can see even being a T-BOT isn't easy.

So mission accomplished.

You all gave me the exact feedback I was looking for...not one post was a bad post. I provoked it all to teach myself and others. Time isn't easily managed to be able to commit to testing. I haven't received one email, one tweet, one pm about being a T-BOT since. But we also have two qualified New testers...Well three, Piggysmalls is now a T-BOT too.

So look at this as a test for everyone. I am absolutely happy with you all for being honest and not throwing yourself into something you know can go bad. Much respect for that.

I will probably not do it again but might have a small assessment before adding more T-Bot's. It's only because we spend time theming theses apps and them not being tested isn't getting them on line any faster. Some of our vets T-Bot's are moving up and also need a break from us hounding them to test. The more testers the less you're obligated. So happy happy win win...:) :)

Now, I did clear hangouts but I gotta fix a few things...I wanna do Google apps as open betas from now on. It's tough when they update them back to back. So getting a ton of people testing it will help. Thinking of doing my own black gapps but after I start the university.

You all rock XDA and I really think we all learned a lot from this so thank you guys!

[Android Themes] Train88:
Last I heard it couldn't decompile more than just gapps...I forgot exactly which one(s) it had problems with, but I think it was Pandora, Slacker, or Spotify. I only know bc someone was trying to put modded images in one of the apps I updated.

Might have to look it up now that it sounds to be improving though :)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Vts works fine but I agree with DJ. I like regular apktool and multi tool. Vts is a bit too busy in my opinion. It works though, 1 nice feature is the color editor built right in. I'm still more of a fan of notepad++ and color editor. Probably just because it is what I learned on...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY- eliminate white backgrounds and any form of ics/holo blue.
[Android Themes] :
Main reason I use vts is it shows you the colours when your editing xmls. Makes it a lot easier for us noobs
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
More tools being made and development carrying on to improve android is cool with me. The more options out there the better for everyone. I know very little about smali but I hear vts' smali tool is great I know devs that swear by it...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY- eliminate white backgrounds and any form of ics/holo blue.

Soooo...anyways... Did anyone actually try the CallApp dialer from the beta spot in the premium updater?
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
I tried it and everything seemed to be themed. Didn't really like the app itself though so it's no longer on my phone.
[Android Themes] raycaster3:
...raises hand. :)
[Android Themes] davietr:
I tried it and everything looked and worked well. There was nothing wrong with the app during the time I played with it.. I just prefer the normal dialer UI along with DJ's KlearKat.
[Android Themes] Train88:
Was just wondering cuz I updated it a couple hours ago... I haven't been able to pinpoint any real changes though, so I'm glad to hear nobody saw any major issues
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Oh. My experience was based on the older version. Didn't check for the update :P
[Android Themes] Train88:
Well I just merged my edits into the updated app bc it doesn't appear to have changed anything from last version... But I think the one in the updater app wasn't final. The new one is in testing, and I doubt it's in the updater unless DJ pulled a fast one but I know he was busy doing updates last night as well lol
[Android Themes] bigmike6200:

By change the updater app, do you mean the ability to download and install clear and/or color versions? That was only in the old updater app. But yes, it automatically gets the updates. Unfortunately if its the old app, it won't be of much use to you

New one is v4.0.3... but as its been mentioned before, Google yanked it from the store so nobody can get it unless they got the updated one before it was pulled. Best bet is to get the free one, is available multiple places (except the play store)

I found it, thanks for the update. I have two questions.

Can you look at the emoji icon, it is smaller than in stock. (Running PAC 4.4.2 on Moto G (XHDPI device) I love the blackout app, so if it is a lot of time, than ignore my question.

The anoter one: can you please blackout hte ponies too? LOL :D
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Thanks,

I tried fixing it but for some weird reason it keeps shrinking. The ponies and pitchforks aren't in the app itself. They get downloaded to your cache.

Thanks DJ. Everything is looking great with both the Hangouts and GNow Clear....Hit every button I could and haven't found any issues yet.. .Also made me realize the attention to detail the team puts into everything.
[Android Themes] WreckTangle:
Hey DJ, I just flashed black Google now and I get a forced close. According to logcat the apk is signed with test keys (see screenshot). Any way for me to fix this myself?

EDIT: Managed to fix it. Downloaded Google Search from Play Store, replaced resources classes and res folder with the ones from your blacked out one and pushed it to /system/priv-app, all is working now.

Somehow I also have troubles with all your blacked out hangouts. In order for me to get them to work is to extract "xml-mcc204-mnc04" folder, rename it to "xml-mcc204-mnc4", put it back into apk file and push to /system/app again. My logcat from hangouts always complains about the latter folder missing.

Anyways, thanks a million for the betas. You guys rock :thumbsup:

I checked latest Hangouts.apk. Is there any reason to keep lib files in apk? You can save about 2 MB system space, if you remove that, when you create a flashable zip.

If you make a installable apk you must keep it.

If you flash the libs in zip to the proper folder, so why keeping it in apk? :D

In Google Now this is about 5 MB, what you can save.

Pa Gapps package is also created with apks without libs, to reduce size. Original post: Pa Gapps #3966

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Hmm, that's weird considering I just move my edits to a stock apk

too. Exactly what you did. No idea why you're having this issue with those files. Did you flash the correct zip?

Yes some devices won't register the libs unless it's in both. Same with Google now. PA has a script in their Rom to locate the libs in system. Not all roms "TouchWiz" do that.

Kinda too far away too see....screenshot would be nice :)

You took all the words out of my head. I, too, purchased even though I update from the site. Even though apps are greyed they appeared to be same versions as my currently installed versions, like the GMail one.

Blackout Updater now says Premium on top but in the "About" section still says version 1 and not 3.
