Viber

You guys are doing an awesome job. I know how much work goes into theming apps, so my hat goes off to your entire team.

By any chance do you guys have plans for Viber? It's really popular and I use it myself but absolutely hate that purple color everywhere.
[Android Themes] 78Staff:
I edited an existing post, so I think this might have been overlooked...

Youtube, and I think one or two others are complaining about need to update Google Play Services, which of course breaks clear google settings app. Is there a workaround or is it just the way it is. I think I recall a while back there were some issues with keeping Google Settings "Clear"

Not the biggest issue in the world, I rarely go into google settings after initial setup - just more curious if I've done something improper when installing.

[Android Themes] Adreaver:
Thanks for the tip... I followed mostly the same procedure and am now cleared out.

1) Uninstall Google App from Titanium Backup.

2) Reboot recovery, flash the latest clear Google App.

3) Reboot system, everything is working.

I checked play store, but didn't see an option to update the Google App. However, since I'm cleared out, I don't really care, I'll enjoy what I have.

Thanks!

Actually MOAR only went up to 4.3 for the S3 and then the dev moved on to the S5. Virgin and Boost are owned by Sprint. That's why Sprint roms work on Boost and VM. Same exact model. Sorry for the OT guys.

I didn't know they were owned by sprint. Thanks for the info. I've been on moar since the S3, but i had that phone like 2 yrs ago. I didn't realize rompnit wasn't supporting the S3 anymore. I have an S5 on MOAR. I buy my phones based on where hes headed next lol

Hello, I've had the tbo app installed for some time and for some reason this morning I can't get it to open... I've cleared app cache and data and uninstalled and installed with no luck.. I'm on aicp lgg2 nightly from a week ago... Any advice?

I went back several pages to see if this was mentioned. On Fusion ROM where everything is blacked out I find the TBO updater app failing to run all of a sudden. Thinking it was an updated ROM issue I posted to the Fusion thread and even included a last crash report.

But now on another ROM I see the TBO app is failing to run.

I figured now maybe it fails if it can't reach a server or something. Just now I click on the link at the top of the OP and wind up at an unrelated page. One of those lame placeholders when a domain has disappeared.

Designrifts.com is where it lands.

Is the TBO site down/gone?

Anyway, for completeness here's the Last Crash output from AndyLog.

People don't realize that while Android is open source, Google isn't.

Messenger - Open Source

Hangouts - closed

Email - Open Source

Gmail - closed

Dialer - Open Source

Fi Dialer - closed

The list goes on and on. In order for Google to continually develop new ways for us to connect to their mother ship without revealing how they do the cool stuff for Apple to steal, copyright, and sue them over, they need to make some things proprietary. There are still open source alternatives for those who want to avoid Google altogether, which is entirely possible with a modicum of effort.

I for one am grateful that Google keeps the base OS and many apps open for devs to tinker, and that we have awesome devs like the TBO folks here to get rid of the fugly white UI Google seems determined to shove down our throats.
[Android Themes] NLBeev:
It must be said from time to time TBO is a great team.

My eyes and the battery are happy with the 'black work' of the team.

Google apps aren't open ! Than in my view it's a shame that g-apps are white only and Google delivers devices with amoled displays with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.

A child knows that's causing battery drain.

Andrew, I don't know where to start...you are one of the most talented devs I've come to know...you're selfless, considerate, and from all I can determine...an honest man.

It's an honor to have borne witness to your creative mind, your work ethic, and diligence. Of course, [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] with his measureless talent and governing hand doesn't hurt, either.

You and all whom create owe us lowly users nothing...that's the bargain we get...work product from you, the developers (amazing work product in the case of TBO), our respect for it, AND ZERO expectations that there'll be more from any of you.

I neither know nor care about the specifics...what little I can offer is my continued support for you and that of the team's, and my unending gratitude.

To all users on these forums, this development team represents the best of xda...continuously pushing the boundaries of what can be done with the latest hot mess from Google, collaborative, and not seeking it's own validation...

To ever denigrate these decent developers is an insult to all of them, and every user of these apps should feel slighted.

I ask all to contribute, in the form of a paid theme, a donation, or a simple thanks.

After all, what are Google employees supposed to run on their phones...stock apps?

Happy Saturday everyone.

If you have a custom recovery, you can flash any zip package. If not, the only ones you can install are stand alone apks.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Well you can abd push without root in debug mode but is risky add no backup to restore if done wrong then you'll need to flash firmware to start over. I just pushed to my S6 from adb hangouts and replaced system chrome but had to do all the files..libs included to system AND delete the dex files....so yes it's possible just not recommended...lol

To you it probably seems like a kind way to ask for what to you is a reasonable request (an updated version of an app that's already been themed by this group)...and later you indicated that folks seemed a bit confrontational as a result...in all of this, perhaps you didn't expect the tone of the responses you received.

Here is why this happened...it is against the general rules of xda to ask for updates, ETAs, etc, though some devs will bend that rule and allow it in their threads...this is one that adheres to that rule...and there is good reason for it...this is a team of hardworking devs, some lazy testers like me and others, and no matter how hard they work, Google keeps updating.

Imagine you're a Team BlackOut developer, and you've just finished Google App/Google Now...that's one of the harder apps...and it's in testing...then a day later, Google updates the app. Your work is already dated.

Now a kind user comes along and asks for an update of an app you haven't touched for a while. It might seem innocent to you, but it's a really irritating thing for that developer.

In this thread, we defend these guys at all costs, because we LOVE their work...and we absolutely cringe at the thought that they'll disappear...requests for updates puts these beautifully themed apps at risk.

I hope this helps.

If this can help a little,

I have a no name phone with android ics, i succeeded to root it with kingo also but no custom recovery and rom. I am fond of tbo so i find the old apps or zips and after backup original i put them in system (the flashable ones) or installed apks. It was not easy due to ics (especially playstore that was not included in the rom) and i should find the correct place in system and delete odex files.

Anyway, for me the trick to manually put files in system worked (taking the risk that i don't have a nandroid backup to revert)
