Yes this can work fine. Copying from the sdcard alters it's permissions so you'll need to set those back to 644, then reboot. (Using adb push neither alters permissions nor requires reboot)

It's always nice to have a recent nandroid as a part of protecting against loss, however if your primary concern is to backup Vending it's a bit overkill. Since you're using a root explorer anyway, just rename your existing vending to something else, say Vending.apk.bak or whatever makes sense to you. Then copy/move the new Vending.apk into /system/app and reset permissions.

There's one other thing you want to double check. If at any point Vending had been updated automatically, then the update is stored as /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk. (number suffix depends on how many times it's been updated) You can remove it either by deleting com.android.vending-1.apk or if you go through the application management settings you can uninstall updates. Both essentially do the same thing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
644 Perms are? Can you specify clearly. SORRY...:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Each number describes the permission levels for User, Group, and Others in that order. Read has a value of 4, write 2, and execute 1.

So in this case 6 would mean read/write permission for User, and read permissions only for both Group and Other. Google Linux permissions and you'll find plenty to read.

In Root Explorer, after you navigate to /system/app you first need to select the button in the upper right corner and mount system r/w. Then scroll to Vending.apk and long press. There will be an option in the popup menu for permissions. After you select it, a different popup window will show and you want to make it look like this:

The exact steps will be a little different for other root explorers, but they will all have that functionality.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Cool...seems more are getting it to work. Sorry, my very limited experience has primarily been with framework-res mods, so I've admittedly been guessing a bit, too.

I have a matching thread in N-S themes and apps, and got a great tip from a member there:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matt992:
has anyone got this to work with miui stock? we have the new market and i would love the blue
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uoY_redruM:
On a note to mine working,

I'm running Rod's MUIU ROM. I flashed pendos first blue market release (file name NewMarket-pb-signed) which had the headings and such flaws, after wiping cache only. I then flashed the latest market fix right over the previous one, without wiping cache, and it is perfect now.

Just to clarify lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matt992:
were could i get the 2.2.6 version of this ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I think I may have my old 2.2.6 version, I'll have to check. But I'm am unconvinced that this is the best way for those with problems to fix it.(not that it isn't a way) I would try pushing/flashing/nandroiding/whatever to an even older market build. Like 1.82 or something less similar to 2.2.7.

When I did this, I got 1.82 (I think thats the version) from this gapps:

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip

Made sure that it was installed then booted into recovery and applied 2.2.7. This was on a 6.1.1 CM rom.

If you'd like I'll post the 2.2.6 version when I get back..if I still have it (pretty sure I do)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matt992:
flashing the old market then the new blue one worked for me thanks for the help :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
cool beans :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tina333:
Works perfect on my dell streak (custom 1.5.2 rom) and nexus one (kang-o-rama 6.1.1) i'll be donating now, thank you :)

Any other colours on the horizon? I tried a red theme but I couldn't get that one to work (I may need to toggle signing or something?)

P.s please could you add a donate link? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well I finally started tinkering with this today....had a few requests to do a green market. At first I was like wha???? But after seeing gingerbread, I'm not feeling my blue market as much either. Still pretty cool, but just sticks out a little too much without changing the rest of the rom.

So this is still very much a wip. This was kind of my first decent checkpoint though where I thought it was decent enough to show to see if I'm on the right track, maybe get some more input.

Market-2.2.7_pendo-green-wip1-signed.zip

Don't think I ever really found the magic bullet way to distribute this, so that's a standard flash.zip for recovery and below is the apk. I've just been stopping core, pushing to /system/app, then restart core. No issues in the 5-6 times I've pushed it to the phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tina333:
Can the vending.apk not be included in the .zip? The market is originally green anyway so why make a green one? Black,red that works or grey would be awesome :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] luhu:
Yeah, cool. Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjsoviet:
I would love a red one as well. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] regP:
will this work on the vibrant?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marp-es:
thank you very much..

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
Tried getting this to work on the Virtuous ROM for G2 (it's a Sense port) with no luck. I know the keyboard mods specifically say not for Sense ROMs, but I was hoping the market mod would.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry, I forgot to update this thread...I have another in the Nexus-S forum (in hindsight I should've placed this in general themes for all of XDA) But I have actually done that there and now here as well.

The green is....better, imo but I'm biased. :p

The entire op is different so you might want to re-read, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] G-ThGraf:
Sorry, i'm new on Android !

But, i use the HTC HD2, with Nexus One Rom Froyo, 2.2.1 ROM, (i have recovery....)

How install the GingerBread keyboard? (or maybe it's just a theme.??.)

Thanks !

Okey, i found the option in Clockworkmod... How remove an update?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hugabu:
Does this work on 2.1?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
When you say froyo rom, is it an aosp rom? Assuming that it is, you should just be able to flash the download link in recovery. At the bottom of the op I have the raw LatinIME.apk and lib file by themselves if you need them. Sorry I'm unfamiliar with the HD2 conversion or if it has any special case exceptions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
oh man....I have no clue. Do other LatinIME.apk's work? It might, I just have no idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] G-ThGraf:
I tested by using ClockWorkMod... And it makes crash android.process.keyboard, i apply a backup, allright now :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blockhead42:
Whenever I try to get the blue keyboard to work it just deletes Gingerbread as one of my keyboard options....? I installed it off an .apk I found here and it works well with no FCs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks..

Yeah, I decided to go look at an HD2 android rom just to see if it was similar. I downloaded tytung's NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.8 and it's WAY different than what ours is. No wonder it didn't work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
:confused: Mine doesn't say Gingerbread for an option. I just have Android keyboard. I didn't rename the keyboard at all. To be honest, I don't remember where I got that keyboard from...there were a bunch of posts all over with the keyboard when the sdk got released. All I did was theme it just a bit, and since I needed to decompile/recompile to do it, I had to post the entire apk instead of a metamorph.

And where is "here" that you found the one that works?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deathknellx:
How does one wipe the cache?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tridge:
Pendo, great work! Donation coming your way.

Both the Blue Keyboard and Market work great on my D1 CM6.2.1 (did a market and cache clear prior to flash)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tridge:
There should be an option in your recovery console to wipe the cache.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
yep :)

:cool: Awesome. CM's up to 6.2.1 now huh?

Oh, and thank YOU :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tridge:
The nightly builds are CM7 :P Gingerbread coming our way!

Is there anything in the future of your keyboards for making the keyboard text blue/green instead of white?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nemesis1278:
Excellent theme I love the blue in market. I was wondering if you could make a red one that would be sweet.:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
do you mean like what shows up for whatever you're typing? Oh, I bet you mean the letters on each "key"...

No I actually hadn't really thought too much of that. I tend to usually prefer a stockish kind of look, but I really just don't care for the orange thay google seems to put everywhere, lol.

Well, this took longer than I anticipated, but I tried it, and I just don't care for it. But here it is with the key letters blue if you wish to try (flashable in recovery)

New Market--Blue AND Green v2.2.7 Blue keyboard

Thanks,

works on my Samsung Vibrant, not to mention blue is my favorite color. Pretty simple change. I use Root Explorer to move files around and rename them.

Great work! Keep it up.

I will definately donate.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nemesis1278:
I figured it out. There was another file running for market so I renamed it to that and voila I have my new colored market. I changed to Vending-Market.Update.apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blockhead42:
I got it working. I had already had a theme on the "android keyboard" so I deleted the Gingerbread keyboard that I installed from an apk, and restored a backup before my theme of the android keyboard and it worked
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MulTiPass:
First of all this looks great. Trying to use the keyboard on my HD2, and I was not sure how to install. I see the short instructions above the keyboard pic on POST #1, but there are 7 files in the ZIP, not sure where they all go, and how the install happens? Do I need to re-boot?

Help? :)

Hello, I can't install blue market theme on Hero (Tegro 2.4.1). When I'm trying to install apk I got package prassing error. When I'm trying flash zip via recovery I get installation from zip failed (status 0) or something like this. Why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ChaosBoy:
Use it on my HD2... install it with cwr and it will work great
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vermillon:
Works great on my Samsung Galaxy I5800, even if green it's my favorite colour, the blue theme seems less agressive.

I used Super Manager to copy/paste the vending.apk

Now back to topic haha.. nice theme!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Wow, thanks for all the kind word everyone. I need to thank Micromod again for kinda nagging me to create a new thread.....it had been buried in my super circle thread before.

Those of you with newer phones like the G2, or mt4g, N-S....if you have a newer recovery the flash zip's will probably not work as normal. You'll have to mount recovery first then apply the flash. (I need to do some more investigating on how to properly script so that all phones work the same, still kinda new to all this) Alternately, you can always push to /system/app---which is how I like to.

I don't anticipate trying anymore colors at this time, I don't have as much free time to devote to this fun stuff as I have recently had, so please be patient if you're waiting for my responses.

Hi pendo, are you going to update your blue market to the latest version 2.2.10?

Thanks for the Blue Market. This is the 1st one I've installed that didn't FC all the time on my eris. Great work.

Blue Themed GB KB for Stock EVO Rom

Hi all,

I just started using the GB KB (published by Steven Lin on the market) on my stock EVO and I have to say it is great. I just hate the orange color. Is there a way to get a blue themed keyboard to use on a stock EVO? I have been searching through this site and on google for the last hour and this is the closest thread that I have found. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Hi pendo, can the widget be themed as well? I'm actually hoping for a transparent widget for market but so far no one seems to have done it in the android theme transparent widgets thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bloodflame:
I think this is what you're looking for: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10099231&postcount=1

It's at the bottom of the post. It's a ZIP, so you may be required to install via Recovery, which may involve rooting.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pdane:
Thank you for the reply. My phone is not rooted and I was hoping not to have to do that to use this KB.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hey thanks everybody for helping one another in my absence. I feel bad sometimes for not following up as I'd like, but I just don't have as much time anymore sadly:( I'm aware of the new market and will try to get on that asap. I haven't received it yet, but I'm sure theres some apk's around here somewhere.

I've been working on other gb theme stuff...have a new gb battery now that looks exactly like the stock version, just a touch taller (so I can get better subdivisions), both with % numbers and without. I don't like the % version yet...can't get the numbers looking right. And I'm still making tweaks to the charging xml. I've also got a new wifi meter that is NOT a stock look style wise but does follow color wise with the fully vs non-fully differentiations.

I'll try to get the new market version themed soon, and I also need to work on porting pendo-blue to gingerbread, but will take time since it's not all in frame-res anymore.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No plans to try any different colors atm. Maybe if I can ever get caught up on other requests and pm's.

I did do a little theming with the widget, but I don't think I did as much as I did with the green market. Really all that it is is the header and the the body which is just a gradient 9 patch. It looks more themed in the green version because h the color change is more dramatic. But I just decompiled 2.2.10 and am starting to move stuff over so I'll look at it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CentralMoNexusOne:
Got the market to install but it keeps force closing.

I'm running cm 6.1 as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mercys Fallen:
I'm running kaosfroyo on an eris over here. I see everyone is on nexus so I am wondering if it'll work for me as well? I already nanded but was pondering advice before a possible brick.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hmm...I ran into this one time, and I was unable to replicate the problem later. The funny thing was, when I pushed a known working version back it still kept fc'ing. The only way I could get it to work was going back to a pre-new style market-I used 1.8.something. Then it worked fine.

I tried everything I could think of to try and replicate the problem and couldn't. Only happened once, and it was when I had cm 6.1 in. The newest download link in the op was tested on my phone using both cm7 and aosp gingerbread.

Well, I'm a N1 owner and usually don't venture too far away from home, but this does work on all other devices. The only problem would be for some newer devices (G2, nexus-s) is that you'll likely have to mount system in recovery first before flashing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mercys Fallen:
Why thanks! I've been trying to get around flashing GApps as all i wanted was the market.AND it's gunna look freaking cool. Gotta outclass the roomie who just bought the incredible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CentralMoNexusOne:
That is exactly what happened to me. I guess I'll just have to wait for cm7. The blue KB looks great as well. I really hate the green and orange feel of gingerbread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Broman400:
Won't install for Desire Z
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No, I don't think so. I was running this on 6.1.1 as well. Not the 2.2.10 version but the 2.2.7 for sure. I can't tell much difference visually from the two. 2.2.10 has some gingerbread specific folders in which 2 statusbar icons are smaller. But that's it....no other folder has anything to indicate that it's for gingerbread only.

As I said in the op, newer phones will likey have to mount system in recovery first. If you have clockworkmod, in recovery go to "mounts and storage" and select mount system. It should then say unmount system. Then go back one menu to go to the flash zip options and select the zip.

Or, you can use adb push as well. Make sure to rename it to just Vending.apk

adb remount
adb push Vending.apk /system/app

That can be done in or out of recovery.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KotDroid:
On my Desire with ReflexTSense (DHD ported ROM):

I've tried all possible options and versions.

Ver. 2.2.7 - flashing from recovery (with "mount system" option) - do nothing.

Pushing in root explorer - phisically .apk is in folder but it isn't visible in system.

Ver. 2.2.10 - parsing problem, recovery as above

original green version .apk - installed with estrongs with no problem.

Pushing via adb finally succeeded....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Did you get the new themed version to work ? or 2.2.7 version instead .

It seems you have to flash these in succession. If you skip one you fail

.10 version seems to be only for gingerbread roms

Since i am still on froyo and they say the new .11 is for all can we theme for that one soon thanks

Updated op with 2.2.11

adb push ALWAYS works.

I really wish I understood the intricacies that are causing some to install just fine yet others have problems. Very frustrating, as I hate to see anything I post cause issues for people :(

You know, I didn't even check the manifest until just now, and 2.2.10 does say minimum sdk 9, with a target sdk of 10 :eek: What is sdk 10?? Is that honeycomb maybe?

I'm going to go back to a 2.2 install right quick, and try to go directly to the 2.2.11 version. I'll report back what I find :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Do you know what version you were on prior to flashing? Try going into settings/applications/manage applications, then under the "all" heading, scroll down to Market and if there's an option to uninstall update, hit that.
