Just flashed the blue non-transparent 2.3.3 market. I'm running CM7-RC1 and when I try to view some app pages, the market force closes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Everything with the blue non-trans version of 2.3.3 is perfect except the wording "More" on the image. I don't know if it's my custom framework-res or your market. See below image.

This image has been resized, click here to see the fullsize original.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Before I flash a new market I always go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, go to the "All" tab, scroll down to Market, select Market and press "Force Stop" if selectable, then "Clear cache".

Reboot phone into recovery mode, clear both cache and dalvik cache three times each.

Flash the update file.

After reboot the market by default will open and check for updates and so on. I usually give it a few minutes for the phone to completely finish what it's doing while connected to my WiFi.

Then run the market and check for updated apps, don't actually update or open any apps.

Go back to your home screen and reboot the phone once more.

Then go back into the Market after the phone reboot and viola, works every time!

I do this while connected to my WiFi at home because when connected to 3G/H data network sometimes I get FC's like you did. For whatever reason while connected to WiFi I get none. Don't know. After I can connect to data network and all is fine and dandy from that point on out.

Hope this helps.

Darn it, they updated Market again to 2.3.4:mad:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lenox713:
???

Is this for rooted phones? cause it won't install for me!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:
How are you trying to do it?? It has to be done from recovery, so root is necessary, yes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I just had the same situation happen to me when I was testing a fix for the "more" button text. I tried everything short of wiping my data (wasn't going to do that), double checked the certs, put it in /data/app, even tried to edit packages.xml. I decided to take a break from it for a minute and just nandroid restored. My restore had 2.2.7 in it from something else I was testing a couple days ago, so it quickly updated to 2.3.3. So a little bit later I came back and did my normal routine, which is to stop core, adb push, then restart core (no wiping, no removing of the update's) and now it's fine. Go figure

Nice catch, sorry about that. I made it where it's like the buy button so it has white text normally, but changes to black when you press the button.

BlueMarket-2.3.3_fixed_button_text-signed.zip

I'll replace the one in the op in just a sec..

You know, I've never heard that method before but I think there might be something to the waiting part. I noticed that if I let an update install I could go back and look at other apps.

The Market has really proven to be rather finicky hasn't it..... :-/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Just tried your method Pendo and got constant FC's on Vending. Restored from a prior nanodroid, updated via my method above and it worked flawlessly. I don't know why it works either but it does. The market or my NexusOne is just funky I guess :confused: Either way the market looks PHAT now and works like a charm!!! :cool:

Thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
It's likely you have an unneeded step or two with your method, but I understand. Sometimes you just throw everything you've got at it and hope something sticks, lol. And actually now that i think about it, what I posted just earlier is a little misleading. Yes, I may not have cleared caches before I pushed it, but the nandroid restore point that it came from was already "pre-cleaned" a bit. And it's not just the N1 that has issues with these themed markets. Vending has to interact with soo many other things I can see where there's a higher potential for something to not jive.

I like your method, it seems sound...and you get consistent results. Next time someone pops in with an issue, unless you beat me to it I'll refer them to your posts :)

Now....I don't know why (I guess I'm at the end of the list or something) but I haven't gotten a new market sent to me in several versions. So if one of you guys who has 2.3.4 want's to upload it that'd be great :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mjybarr:
Used trans blue 2.3.3 on the G2 using meXdroid (CM7 based nightly 7) and works great! This is what I did...

1. Put themed market on sdcard

2. Flashed in recovery, rebooted phone and once booted up

3. Wiped cache using "cache cleaner" app

4. Went to settings, applications, manage applications, found market, uninstalled updates.

5. BAM its there and themed! Sticks and no force closes!

Thank you tons for such an awesome mod!

waiting on transparent 2.3.4 version. Stupid auto-updates :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] got2best:
+1 for market transparent 2.3.4

Agreed!! Stupid auto updates!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Anybody on market 2.3.3 have FC issues when choosing a "Related" app that you have never had installed??

Reverted back to 2.2.11 for now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Why not post the 2.3.4?? Just pull it from /data/app/ and it might be named com.vending.apk or com.google.android.vending.apk I don't know the actual name but if you scroll through the list of apps it should stand out with vending in the name.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
2.3.4

This was ripped from my Archos 43it, got the update this morning. Have at it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hey guys, just popped in for a second to say that I just got 2.3.4 via pm. It will be late tonight before I get to it...maybe even past some of you kids' bedtime :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry I'm a few hours later than I expected. I've been experimenting a bit on very, very small cosmetic change that just isn't working out. So for now here's the new market in the same trans-blue as before :) I'll update the op in a bit after I get the trans-green done.

This is the same style update zip as before. Those of you that have had problems before, please try Treatcon's steps outlined in this post.

TransBlueMarket-2.3.4-signed.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:
Followed instructions above exactly. Market is still green/stock.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
TransGreen and non-transparent Blue at the top of the op now...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
Works and looks great. Thanks again Pendo!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
If you go to settings/applications/manaage applications/all and scroll down to Market, is there an "uninstall updates" button? If so, be sure to try that.

Thanks :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:
That did it. Thanks Pendo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Been running blue 2.3.4 for a day now and its smooth as butta!!

Thank you Pendo!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JustJAck1235:
I know this is an odd question... but is there anyway to get the "M" in market captialized for this market? :)))
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheHypebeast:
I can not get the blue keyboard to work on a mytouch 4G, i downloaded the attached files and did this step, "The link is a flash.zip that will mount system, and place LatinIME.apk in /system/app and a lib file in /system/lib. In the attachment section is a zip that contains just apk and lib file" then flash from recovery the keyboard and it does not show up under settings/language keyboard i would appreciate any help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Haven't had that request before, lol. I'm afraid that may be a bit much to ask from my feeble artistic skills. There's a lot of folks around here that are much better with photoshop than I, you might try asking around a bit.

If you are running a sense rom, I don't think you can use the standard LatinIME, as HTC has their own thing going on....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheHypebeast:
I'am running a gorillasense rom, the blue keyboard would look pretty cool with the rom, so would any themed key board not work on a sense rom?

If you are running a sense rom, I don't think you can use the standard LatinIME, as HTC has their own thing going on....[/QUOTE]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I'm not a sense guru, so hopefully someone else can chime in, but isn't the keyboard something like HTC_IME or something like that? I didn't think they had LatinIME. I'm sure it can be installed though, I seem to remember seeing offered for some of the Sense roms it back when the gb keyboard first showed up, but I never looked into what the differences were, sorry :o

As far as theming in general, sure you can theme your current kb, I'd think...just didn't think you could push this LatinIME.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
Can we get a red transparent one to :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matasapi:
blue theme is better than others... keep working man.. thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheHypebeast:
Im a newbe and starting to learn, but your work is awesome really like the blue market

As far as the keyboard I just themed a better keyboard of off the market and works for now
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I've been asked a few times for this over the weeks, and I've always said no. Now this is not a "yes" but I will endeavor to make some time to try this out. If/when I can get something up, I'll share it. Likely it will just be color changes and not any new icons or anything.

Thanks! Lol, yeah the download numbers heavily favor the blue one. Over 5:1.

Cool, we all started somewhere. To be honest, the market has been a bit of a surprise. I didn't know it would be so popular. I mentioned this earlier I think, but I had actually themed it a long time before I started this thread. Then Micromod kept bugging me about it and said I should start it's own thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Been playing around just a bit....what do you think about this for the launcher icon?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
I like that...looks cool :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sw10475:
I like that one, looks cool.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] il Duce:
hey pendo, love your work on these. I've been running these since 2.2.6 (I think), anyway, I can't EVER get these to flash, so I have to make my own flash zip. Are these made for amon ra? If so, I think there's something different about clockwork that makes it angry when I try these. Any ideas? If it is for amon ra, is it possible you can toss up CWM versions? I can do it myself, as I have been doing, but it may be helpful to others, and well, me of course :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smokem_I:
I can't believe I didn't think of putting it into another zip! I'm trying this as soon as I can. Hope it works!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Ok, I've spent way too much time tweaking the header colors here, so I'm just gonna post it and see what you guys think. I feel pretty good about the png/photoshop work--no huge changes, mainly in "pressed" highlighting, and made some subtle changes to the menu icons in an attempt to make them more coherent with the rest of it.

Let me know what you think...if you guys like it I'll throw it up in the op :)

Flash in recovery, will replace /system/app/Vending.apk

TransRedMarket-2.3.4-signed.zip

Thanks :)

I haven't made with any particular recovery in mind. Several versions back I had to switch my mount command with the newer clockwork recovery, and it now relies on busybox, which most everyone around here has. I just checked and it's the exact same mount command that's used in the gapps zips. Also, I just checked with the TransRed link above and it worked fine on CM7 rc2 that I have in right now. Could you share the updater-script (or update-script) that your zip is using?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
Looks great! Thank you for your work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] il Duce:
Here the latest one, sent to me by smokem since I was mobile - thanks bro.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Ah...well that's the old amend style scripting. It was actually deprecated by google back in android 1.6 I believe. But it stayed around for so long because the custom recovery images continued to support the commands. With gingerbread, and most of the newer devices now available, you cannot use amend scripts. But I can appreciate their function....they just always work :p

One thing you can usually do is to mount system first, then flash your zips. It shouldn't be necessary, but I've heard of a few times that people couldn't get their zips to take otherwise.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] il Duce:
I have tried your zips with 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.1.9, both of which are edify only recoveries, and still couldn't flash your zips :confused: I even tried to convert one to edify myself to see if your code was wrong (which I failed at, lol). Anyway, The recovery I use supports BOTH amend and edify, and your zips still don't flash. I flash one edify zip every ROM release. So who knows what it is. Thanks for the mount system info, never heard that or need it, but maybe it'll be helpful someday. No matter what your market apps are beautiful, and I love them, thanks for all your work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK...so I've been working a bit more on the TransRedMarket, and I think I've got it polished up a bit nicer. Nothing major at first glance, but I spent a few more hours on it in an effort to add a bit more polish.

The most noticeable change is that I've now got the full screen reviews page transparent as well. I had done this in one of my first attempts, but it was hard to read because you could see the underlying window as well as the wallpaper. I've got that fixed, now. Also, the review stars are themed on that page as well.

However, it required me to edit the Manifest of the apk. So I couldn't reuse the original signatures anymore and had to resign. Doing this by itself caused major problems, and in fact the market would just FC. There's a way around this though....I edited services.jar to skip part of the signature checks. The hack works on aosp as well as on cyanogen roms (and sense), but I'm not sure if it's anything anyone would be interested in. It opens up some other interesting possibilities beyond just this Vending.apk....but I also understand that a lot of folks may not like hacking the framework like that.

If anyone is interested or have questions let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, the only other thing I can think of would be that my update-binary isn't compatible with your device. Honestly I've always wondered about that. The update-binary that I'm using is one that I got from my aosp builds. I usually run "make otapackage" to get rom.zip style of package, so I just used that same binary.

I'd be interested to see the edify script that you also use, or if you could point me to it that'd be great. Always looking to learn more.

And thanks for the kinds words :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
@ Pendo - so is there a new revised red one?

I downloaded the original read yesterday :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
yes, I have an updated one but like I was trying to say in that long post it's unusable by itself, as it will FC if flashed like the previous versions.

I see you're on a mt4g....which rom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
I'm on totally stock rom using Faux kernels and some frozen apps.

Your markets are the only ones that ever work on my phone :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Wow, that looks like it's a hot kernel, lol. I didn't really see a thread in the dev sections there about a stock mt4g rom, so I didn't download anything.

There's a slight tweak we can do to services.jar that will get around certificate mismatches. Comes in handy for installing apks from different builds....or in this case it alllowed me to make a small tweak to AndroidManifest to get Vending fully themed.

This is how the full screen ratings page looks originally:

After I edit services.jar it makes it very easy to do this to that same page:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
The blue transparent theme looks great on my Inspire 4g. Good work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
Awesome. Yeah...try out his kernels...man...you'll really like it. I've been testing and running Faux's kernels since he started building them...we are on v9.5 now. Silky smooth and makes a world of difference in the feel of the phone and battery life rocks too ;)

Look into my posts and youll see my my posts in his kernel thread.

Soooo...is the new red version good to go now or are you still tweaking? :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry perhaps I didn't explain it well enough ...the app is done but I would need to modify your services.jar in order for it to work. The additional edits create a mismatched cert situation, and the hack to services.jar is to ignore those mismatches.

So that's why I asked what rom you were on so I could edit your services.jar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vinsane:
Oooh. Gotcha. Sorry..always excited when I see a Pendo release :)

I'll wait patiently :)

I'm rockin your current red release and loving it.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smokem_I:
Just wanted to let you know the market got an update. :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
That's what I heard, but I haven't seen a download for it. Can you grab it and send me a link? If you got updated, the one I'd need is in /data/app. Look for com.android.vending-x.apk (the x being the highest numbered version if you have more than one)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Got it! I'm reviewing the layout changes right now as I merge in my changes. This is good timing since I wanted to update the trans-blue/green with some of the stuff I've got in the trans-red.

Updates will be posted as soon as I'm done!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smokem_I:
Sweet! That's great news bro glad you got it. Keep up all the awesomeness!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:

Here you go

http://db.tt/TixaiNX
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
lol...

Well there were more pronounced changes this time, similar to the change between 2.2.10 and 2.2.11 that ended up being pulled back. They've brought back a couple of gingerbread only directories, and it appears to have added some sort of content filtering...or at least I saw references to it in xml.

And I've finally got a trans-blue version compiled....but I haven't gotten it to run yet. Having a problem with permissions it seems. Pretty sure I know what's causing it, just trying to work out the best way to tell you to install this...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
<edit>

Problem was wrong Vending.apk....had one for a tablet apparently. New links in op are good :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dboss007:
Thanks Pendo! Will you also be updating the non-transparent blue market for 2.3.6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KotDroid:
Hmm, on my Desire I have new com.android.vending-1.apk located in /data/app instead of Vending.apk in /system/app:confused: so pushing via adb didn't succeed...

nand restore at the moment.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eliasadrian:
HII've tried flashing the transred one from the OP twice now (wiping cache and dalvik cache before flashing) and it doesn't work, but my market will still open and work. I'm not sure why or what's going on, but I'm gonna redownload and also try the trans blue market. I checked and I'm definitely on 2.3.6, p.s.

I'm also gonna try the old sigs version. Either way, great work!

Edit: No version worked for me on MT4G running Orange Glacier (basically stock). Lemme know if I can give you any info to help with anything, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
At some point, yes but it might be a day or two. I need to merge in some of the updates I made in Trans-Red into it as well (not the transparent obviously) Plus I'd like to see how these work for a day or so. If they cause too much of a problem, then I'll have to hold off and explore other update paths

When you receive a market update, that's how it installs..as com.android.vending-1.apk. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll down to Market. Hit uninstall updates. You should be all good from there and it will show.

If you were already on 2.3.6 then I don't think the OLD-SIGS will work...not sure if they'd work as it is since they have the 2.4.6 manifest. And as above, if you already had 2.4.6 up and running, then the either of the first two should work fine, but you may have to uninstall updates in settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] steveathome:
Thanks Pendo for the updates for this Market theme. You do good work. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esk02k:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KotDroid:
Im doing this way:

If I'm uninstaling update firist and then pushing your version to system app I have no market at all.

If I'm pushing your version first and then trying to uninstall update then I'm getting Info that Uninstalling didn't succeed and after reboot I also have no market...

Is there any way to make it works?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
If you're pushing the file then you should make sure Vending.apk has the same file permissions as the other system files after the push. You could always just uninstall the update and just flash the zip in the OP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KotDroid:
Both options - result is no market....

I'm affraid I have to get used to ugly white/green :(

Edit:

Finally got this one working:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1029481

It's not so nice as pendo's one but it's better than nothing.

It seems to be parsing problem with both pendo versions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK, sorry everyone. When I heard there was a new market I rushed around trying to find a link to get it going. I was hoping to actually beat you all to the punch and have it ready before you guys had to tell me about it, lol. But apparently in my haste I didn't notice this, but the Vending.apk I grabbed was not the one we needed. Sure, it was 2.3.6 but it's version code was "4002306" and what is being pushed out to us is "3002306" I'm pretty sure that that small difference was causing the problem.

Anyway, I've remade them with the Vending.apk provided by baseballfanz and all seems to be back to (relatively) normal. Check the OP for the updated links.

Sorry about that everyone :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:

Hi i just ran this blue market update and now everything is so big and transparent is there a way to keep the color and make it go back to default font/size?

Thanks
