Both versions in first link, apk and Zip.

Playstore will not blzck if you don't use theme. Its modded Playstore modded to work with thèmes for French and Dutch system Languages. Working for Samsung theme but not sure with Substratum theme as i have Samsung device, i don't use Substratum.

Second link is for Samsung only.
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Again, another cryptic answer. I think there is a language barrier.

Simple questions:

Is this mod for English?

Is this mod only for Samsung phones?

------------
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
It's not themed just fixed to theme in other languages. I have added this to my theme already and it works.
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Wow - we have a HUGE language barrier going on. I didn't ask if it was themed. I asked two questions:

Does this work on any phone or just Samsung phones?

Will this work on English language phones?

------------
[Android Themes] edzamber:
It Working on Any devices.

English language no need to be mod, themes Working only for English language in original non modded Playstore. This Fix is for others languages...
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
It's playstore why would it only work on Samsung?
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Can you say Touchwiz? Why does Samsung do half of what they do to screw up Android?

Nothing wrong with being thorough before flashing something that causes problems.

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Lol true, oh and they removed TW so I'm actually using an S9+ as my daily driver.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
You're right, but before flashing anything, making sure to: 1- make a nandroid backup and 2- and "undo" flashable zip is the normal approach to avoid 'screw ups' on any phone of any brand...
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Backing up goes without saying. I'm not arguing that point. I'm a busy IT Manager - If I can eliminate the time it takes to even restoring a nandroid back-up by getting the maximum clarity on flashing a zip, then I'm way ahead of the 'downtime' it takes to restore that nandroid backup if I didn't get that clarification.

------------
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Flashed zip on a Moto G 3rd Generation. Broke the ability to download any app. Had to restore from a nandroid backup. This is why I ask all the questions I did about this working. It doesn't work - at least on a Moto G 3rd Generation.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Yes, you probably spent more time writing questions/posts than the actual time a nand restoration takes...

I get your point of being more safe than sorry by asking questions first, but believe me that the Playstore relation to Google PlayServices/framework is a complicated one and often more risky than playing around with most of the default system apks. Someone can also tell you it should work on any phone, but forgets that the flashable zip's updater-script is not adapted for every rom/phone brand. I also knew from experience that losing download function was a possible by-product of all this and that there quite a few things that one can do try fix that. Things like: delete the G_Playstore's or G_playservices data/cache, simply reflash your Gapps package and other things (which skip my mind atm for not having played with that for a very long time) to find a way to force a reset/re-accept the PS 'terms of agreememts' (which is probably the cause of downloads not working)...

And lastly, if there would have been less writing and more reading, you would have also noticed my second point: 'make an "undo flashable zip" which would have been much faster (granted you have experience or are willing to search and learn how to make such a zip) to restore than a nandroid - busy IT guy or not....

[emoji57]
[Android Themes] NetSpeedZ:
Time spent on clarifying is worth it in big picture.

Seems you spent some time on your post as well. Fortunately, it wasn't completely void of helpful Google search words for future visitors to this thread.

I am familiar with making an 'undo flashable' zip, however, in this case it would of saved no time as the fix was to make Playstore a system app - which takes at least one reboot (sometimes two) to get everything working.

Moving on . . .

I saw a previous post with a link to FB for playstore 4.5.10 but I cannot reach it. Please can you give again the link (if you have black or themed). i am not familiar with FB , sorry:o
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah we have received that feedback a few times so Dafoxs is about to add to the OP a beta area to get them directly from there. Just give him some time to get it done. I need to buy him a beer myself. He's been a great asset to the team.
[Android Themes] tsatomas:
Ah ok then, that explain your previous post. Thank you all :) (and take your time of course, I wish i could offer beers too but...you know)
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Ok [MENTION=536064]aeroman[/MENTION] and I are on good terms now. He's definitely welcome back to the thread and has assured me he wasn't trying to stir things up. Once he understood what's going on with the team he was very pleasant and I apologized to him.

That's what matters is that people know what's going on before "we" jump to conclusions. From now on if we see another post like that don't reply...pm me and I'll send an explanation pm to that person. That's all it would have took this time around so that's what we will do from now on.

Thanks again!

[Android Themes] aeroman:

Ok. The updated apps are now at the bottom of the OP, post 1. Certain rules need to be followed here. The apps are beta and in testing. They are what they are. No complaining please. This takes allot of time to keep updated. Just enjoy them. The official ones will get uploaded to the site and app once it gets fixed and removed from the OP.

DJ will be adding zips for kitkat. Unless it says KitKat. The flash won't work on kitkat
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Ok KitKat zips are on the bottom of the OP.... Sorry it took so long I was adding scripts to delete odd versions that could cause issues.

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Did you have keep already installed or is it because the zip needs updated? I believe dj will be updating more files to be I 4.4 compatible when he has time...

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Keep should work just fine on KitKat, the only apps we had to move and make special zips were, Google now, playstore and Google settings. They were moved to system/priv-app. If keep isn't working then make sure the stock version is uninstalled then flash it again.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
That was my 1st thought, but not being on 4.4 I'm not too familiar with what apps do where. All I know is some have issues with some apps while others don't. :thumbup::cool:

Any chance hangouts will ever be updated?

To version 24 or later?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
There was barely anything changed. I have it in my theme and went to update and only seen like one line different. I'm sure if Davey is waiting for an update that's worthy of his time. My $.02 I don't maintain it lol
[Android Themes] NeroCat:
I'm only curious because v23 doesn't seem to work on my phone. At least, not since I upgraded to Oreo.

I'm on the Galaxy Note 8, [N950FD] and now that I'm on Oreo, it seems the only versions of Hangouts that will run without force closes, and not launching, are v24 or later..

=·\

Plus, v24 is the latest version supported by xHangouts, and that makes it nice, since then you can customize the text colors and such.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Hmm, I'm on 25 don't see anything different, I'm on S9+ stock Oreo. Don't see any color options or anything different. If it's not working then maybe Dave will update but until then you can always use Substratum to theme it. I have it in my theme and so does Davey.
[Android Themes] NeroCat:
Hangouts doesn't support changing colors.

But xHangouts with Xposed, does, for v24.

I have the Sprite theme, what's the other one?

on tablet I use Substratum, but on Stock Nougat doesn't work [emoji6]
[Android Themes] marcdw:
If your stock Nougat is rooted you could run Substratum and theme third party apps like the Google stuff. I can't darken the ROM but at least I can do the apps.

For Play Store, if you still want to run v8 (I still do on some ROMs) you can keep it from updating itself by blocking its DailyHygiene service.

Get DisableService, MyAndroidTools (both disappeared from Play Store), or similar tool.

Have app ready to go.

Uninstall Play Store updates. Run the TBO Play Store to make sure all is good. Close it, remove from Recents, switch to chosen tool and block the DailyHygiene service.

Re-run Play Store and make sure it still lists your apps and paid items.

Should be good to go. I've been on 8.3.42 for the longest.

BTW, far as I know the detach stuff has nothing to do with the Store auto updating itself.

If I install any of the blackout zips, do I need to disable auto update?

Also are the apps updated constantly? Looking in the app, most apps have been updated in 2017. That's why I am kinda hesitant on flashing any of the zips.
[Android Themes] marcdw:
Yes on the auto updates. Either do so globally (I always do) or disable just for the blacked out apps.

You already answered your second question. It's fairly obvious if they're updated constantly or not.

If you're comfortable with the available versions and they work on your system, then go for it.

If the latest and greatest is more of a concern then don't install them. Just use Substratum to theme your apps.

Just experienced a hiccup. Tried to install BlackAmazonMusic a few times but it would fail. AmazonMusic isn't installed so it's not a signature mismatch thing.

Checked logs and found out that it conflicts with the Amazon Shopping app which I had just installed. My daily driver took a dump so I installed it so I can go phone shopping.

Anyway, uninstalled Shopping. Now BlackAmazonMusic installed fine but the shopping app now fails to install from Play Store.

Not a big deal as I can install the shopping app on another ROM but I didn't know the Amazon apps were so connected. Bah.
