Are you sure you just don't have a Christmas tree? Lol, thanks for posting. In all seriousness though, folks have been having problems with getting these to take, in every forum. And honestly I'm not convinced of the validity of any one trick over another.

But when you get it on it does look pretty sweet if I do say so myself. I will say that it does look a little out of place on my aosp gingerbread build. Aosp has a green motif for sure but its much more tastefully done imo than what you see in the market. I'm surprised by this but I really kind of like the stock gb look...except for the orange highlighting....that's got to go.

flashed it over 2.2.6 and worked fine from the jump .. cm6.1

Thanks blue looks much better than green lol :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Haha it seems I am. Only cos my posts have hardly any organisation so I have thanks buttons

Everywhere.

Your zip is perfect, no problem with that. Its just that I don't have a recovery for

This thing yet so no means of flashing. Didn't think to push it with adb silly me.

I'm always looking for the easiest way of doing things, thats my problem.

Can you get sgs2 in the US yet?

I'd seriously consider starting a fund raiser for you. One of the devs in the desire

Forums managed to raise enough for a sensation. Thats not bad going.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
D'oh! I keep forgetting you don't have a recovery yet.

Lol...I was just kidding about the fundraiser......I don't bring enough to the table to warrant anything of the sort. Now...enomther on the other hand....

It seems there are several guys who do have the sgs2 over here but they've ordered it from your side of the pond. As far as an official release, there's still no word at all. I'd say July at the earliest :-/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] selcukgumus:
was different. I like the green ;)

Question: Is there any reason why this themed market does not notify updates? or its a google issue?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GEX THE GECKO:
Looks amazing nice work i want the blue 1 but how do i install it :s do i just flash the zip file in clockwork mod :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smokem_I:
Yep you should be able to just flash it like anything else.

Sent from my BluMagic Glacier using the XDA Premium App
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GEX THE GECKO:
Top still green

Ive flashed it and wiped the market app cache restarted and its still green at the top :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:
Try finding it in applications and selecting "uninstall updates", also clear data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GEX THE GECKO:
thanks but just did that and didnt fix it :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
My markets don't affect whether you get updates. I get the notification all the time, and in fact the statusbar icon for notifications has been themed ;)

First of all, what phone are you using? It is possible that the updater-script in my zips is not getting /system mounted before it tries to copy my themed Vending.apk over the stock one. An easy fix is to manually mount /system in recovery. Should be something called "mounts" in the recovery menu, go there to mount /system then flash the zip.

Then of course you can't have anything in /data/app. Uninstalling updates should remove those, but you should go ahead and check for com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app (could be 1, 2 or any number) and delete them. You can also delete the entry in /data/dalvik-cache for com.android.vending.

Also, I have a new blue themed market that you might be interested in. Recently I spent a couple days going through and making subtle changes. The blue color is a bit lighter and is obvious, but lots of little stuff done like changing the dropdown boxes for payment method and changing the radio buttons when you select an uninstall reason. Real small changes, but took a long time to figure out how to do it, lol.

Unfortunately, I can't make a zip up for you right now because I'm in the midst of a hard drive issue and I don't have direct access to any of my work. (well I could, but I'd rather not put a bunch of stuff on this temporary drive I'm on). I plan to update the op with it, but I'll link to the Vending.apk file, and you can either use adb to push or you can use the existing zips just swap out for this Vending.apk (toggle off signature verification)

Market2.3.6-TransBlue_v2.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GEX THE GECKO:
Sorted

Im using a HD2 i was running a MIUI rom before so that could have been the problem ive just flashed another rom and reinstalled this and its working fine looks well sexy :) any plans on more colours? love to have an orange market ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] larapr:
I'm gonna try this, to see if I can fix it thanks for the new blue theme gonna try it now
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] larapr:
DONE! Made a Zip with the Vending.apk and Fixed the notifications update with a stock unthemed Vending.apk. This Market2.3.6-TransBlue_v2.2 is beautiful I Love it! Thanks so muchfor your great work and advise! donating soon!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks guys. I'll admit that I'm pretty happy with it, too :). What's your feelings on the full screen mode that I have it on now? I like it, but I miss my statusbar.

I'll be posting a minor revision to this that has the default screen with statusbar. Don't know if you've noticed it yet, but one of the recent changes was that I incorporated my own progressbar_indeterminate while apps are downloading and/or uninstalling. In this last release I made it blue & white:

While I really like the blue/white, the white just didn't seem to mesh well so I made another one that's blue & black:

Should be up sometime later tonight or perhaps tomorrow morning :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Just put up 2 new zips in the op for TransBlue :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:

Getting Constant force close when trying to access the market .... Started as of today and nothing i do can get rid of it ...

Any ideas
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AKDMA:
You've tried clearing data in settings, applications, market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Yea i tried that but kept getting the same thing , this was after i tried out the new update with the blue and black progress bar, reverted back to the blue and white and now iat works,

Might have been some random error ..will flash black and blue tomorrow and see if it acts up again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK....I started having issues with this as well. Aside from just being extraordinarily busy with work/summer classs, I kinda wanted to wait a couple days to see if anyone else was having issues. The strange thing is that it was working just fine for a while.

Anyway, I'm going to go back to my old manifest, which means I'll lose the transparent background on the comments page. But it is 100% stable for sure. I'll leave up the other 2 links as well, as it appears that not everyone is having problems with it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Updated my post on Page 40 with direct links to download Pendo's modified markets.

Link to the post is there. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK y'all.....I need somebody who had the FC problem with my market to test this. I've been tinkering with it over the last few days and I think I finally got something that consistently works, at least for me. Made a slight edit to my apk, and significantly altered the install procedure and then I tested it by first recreating the FC scenario then applying this method. Each time I was able to get her going and so far no FC's in >24 hrs :)

So, I've attached the edited apk, and then here are my adb commands that I used in terminal:

adb shell
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk
adb uninstall com.android.vending
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Vending.apk@classes.dex
adb reboot

(Substitute a different directory if your dalvik is different, i.e. data2sd)

after your phone reboots, mount system as rw again and push my themed vending:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push Vending.apk /system/app/

Now, go to your app drawer and you should see the market. Select it and accept the Terms of Service. The app will act like it's loading for a brief moment then close----but just close, no FC. Go back and select the market again in your drawer and it should be all good!

I haven't retested using a zip yet, but eventually I would like to package this whole thing up in a zip with a script that will accomplish the same thing. I know there's quite a few who don't use adb...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeViL_DiCe:
Hello. I´ve been searching this thread and haven´t encountered a solution to my problem. i did encounter a person with the same problem as me, but didn´t get an answer. I have an Xperia X10 and have a 2.1 rom. Tried flashing blue market through recovery and didn´t happen anything. Tried using root explorer, copied to system/apps, permissions set correctly, copied and renamed to data. When I rebooted the market was gone!

So I used both methods that were suggested and both of them caused different results, but none of them worked. Forgot to mention I tried using ADB Mask and installed the vending.apk but adb refuses to do so.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Can you restore to your initial working condition?

I've been trying to trouble shoot for someone with an sgs2 that's having a problem. I've been trying to replicate his exact conditions but haven't been able to so far. That said, here's something that I just repeated a couple times and seems to work ok. In an effort to setup a similar scenario, I installed a Vending.apk that's from the Galaxy S2 KE7 firmware. It's version 2.3.4, but had slightly different target sdk versions that what I had for the N1 ota. Anyway, I installed it, and downloaded an update which helped speed up the silent update to version 2.3.6. Once I had verified that I had 2.3.6 via settings, I used terminal emulator and ran:

su
pm uninstall com.android.vending

Then I rebooted to recovery and flashed the newest zip.

Speaking of which, I just updated the op. I have now successfully been able to edit the manifest which allows me to fully theme every page within the app (except the inital TOS screen which is a webview). No other additional theming was done other than all pages have the same window backgound now.

Oh, well I guess I did update a horizontal progressbar:p I drew this one up the other day and think it looks pretty good :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeViL_DiCe:
Hello. Thanks for your answer but it seems I forgot to mention one thing: I´m running Eclair (2.1). I´ve tried many markets and all of them disappear from the app drawer although they appear on the system/app.

Do you happen to have this blue market for eclair? Or am I worng assuming it doesn´t work for my version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, in the manifest it does say the minimum sdk is level 8 which is froyo. I'm not knowledgeable enough of the differences between the api's between sdk 7 and sdk 8, consequently I can't say what all is in the newer Market that would cause the app to crash if I were to forcefully lower it's minSdkVersion. I could try it I suppose, but I have no way of testing it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeViL_DiCe:
If you need me to test flashing in order to see if it FC´s I´ll be able to help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Pendo great work as usual with your themes. See you said you updated the OP

Can i download any of the trans blue markets .. which one is the new updated version ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
The only one that's updated is the first one, which is my theme version 2.2.3 (not to be confused with the app version) Here's a link to the download.

Compared to the others in the op, it's a decent update in that all pages now have a transparent background (comments page and flag as inappropriate page previously did not), and there's a bit of additional theme work applied although most of it's small stuff you might not immediately notice (checkboxes, radio buttons, spinner dropboxes), and the new progressbar I just added.

:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GEX THE GECKO:
Love these Markets

Dude your markets are wicked ive never had a problem with them tried the red and blue any plans for more colours that would be sweet or even a fully transparant 1?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] panyongs73:
thanks pendo

nice theme...thanks so much

Have nice day..:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I lowered the minSdkVersion to 7.....not a clue how that will affect the operation. Like I said, if/when the app calls any level 8 api it will probably crash.

Let me know if it works though :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks guys.

Believe it or not, I've actually got a problem myself with it now. It had been a while since I had checked out MIUI, so I flashed it and have had it for the last 2 or 3 days.......can't get my market to take! I haven't had the time to really troubleshoot it though as I'm trying to finish some school work that's due ....oh, in like 12 hours now, lol (gotta get off here!). Anyways, hopefully I'll gain some additional insight after I get a chance to really roll up my sleeves with this over the long weekend.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bi0haZarD:
Bro, re ur market issues, try wiping market data/cache and also wipe market data from TitaniumBackup.

If problem persists, then from recovery wipe cache/dalvik cache and also reflash gapps all in one go. Reboot and test market!

Hope u get it all sorted out soon, if not get back on CM7 hehe ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mister-g1:
I used your market in Wolfbrake's Froyo Rom for the X10 for a long time and I enjoyed it very much. Now I'm on EWJet (see signature) Android 2.1 and wanted to patch it there also via xrecovery but it doesn't work. When I reboot in my phone again, the market can't be opened. The icon looks like android standard app icon and not like market. So is it not compatible with android 2.1 or did I make a mistake? I tried both versions: Market2.3.6-TransBlue_v2.2.3BT.zip and TransBlue_v2.1_Market-2.3.6.zip with no success

EDIT: tried your attached apk... Copyed it with root explorer to system/app/com.android.vending.apk - no success... tried it again and cleared data before with titanium backup... works, but still green -.-

EDIT2: hmm doesn't seem to work really... uninstalled market with titanium backup.. tried to install new one: no success.. copied it to system/app again - doesn't start :( is it possible to extract the skin files out of the apk and insert them in the working apk?

EDIT3: I copied the res folder of your market into mine... some parts were blue but I had ugly graphical glitches und FCs.. so that's not the right way... further testing ;)

EDIT4: For now I give up... tried every possible combination of my apk file and yours and everything just looks damn ugly... the best result was copying the res\drawable-hdpi folder into my 2.1 apk.. that way at least some parts looked kind of blueish... but no transparency and still a lot of green everywhere -.-

EDIT5: I attached my market file of 2.1 perhaps that gives you a clue, how to mod that... I'd appreciate if you make an 2.1 version of your great theme.. regards.

Pendo how is the SGS2? I'm ordering mine this week. Price on Amazon is down to $672. It's about time for me to jump on the dual core boat :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Galloway:
Dumb question.....if one has this awesome market installed will they still automatically get the new market upgrade or will they manually have to upgrade?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
mine always updated even with these custom market. Sometimes off out doesn't update try wipe data for market using titanium backup
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Guys, I'm hoping to get back home late tonight (been out of town a week now), just depends on what time we get done today. When I get back I'll start to attack the list of work that's piled up while I've been away from my "hobby" machine. :o

Honestly, I don't think I've ever really fully determined what causes the issues. I thought I had it licked earlier, but I think my successes there were in part due to cyanogen being signed with aosp certs. The same steps on MIUI would not work. I did eventually get it to work on MIUI but I'm not sure what it was in the procedure that's the key. I've repeated this 3 times personally, so you might give it a shot. This was starting from a condition that had instant Market FC (logcat error for for permissions WRITE_GSETTINGS)

flashed 6/13 gapps downloaded from rom manager (contains Market ver 2.3.6)

opened market and updated an app. (Something different happens by updating vs downloading a new app)

I navigated around the app just a bit to make sure everything was working.

Then, with NO wiping, flashed newest theme version in recovery.

It's been a bit baffling to say the least as to what's exactly going on....I've got it working on several different handsets all running different roms, yet there's always a few that have issues. :confused:

Oh, and btw, the manifest for this market declares a minimum sdk version of 8 (froyo), so that could be--likely is at least part of the problem.

Oh man....I might have break a rule and move that up in line when I get back. :D Do you know what's changed?

Don't have the sgs2. A few weeks ago there were some folks looking for transparent statusbars, so I jumped in a thread to help....then that thread got so discombobulated that I just started my own so I could kinda keep track better....so that's why my presence over there. Although, right now, it is the leading candidate for my N1 replacement. Discretionary funds have not been what they used to be, and unfortunately I'll have to look at the Attain.

"Awesome market":)

Updates work just like normal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Galloway:
Thanks for the info Pendo! Keep up the great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
edit: I have themed the new market and it's available in a new thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
Does this only work with the nexus one??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
None of my markets are limited to just one device. Although they are only themed for hdpi devices.

Out of curiosity, why the interest in the older version instead of the new one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
So as long as I have the version required of the android market, I can use this??:confused:

I may be a dev, but I don't really know what are hdpi devices, care to explain? *Ashamed*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No need to be ashamed :)

hdpi stands for high dots per inch so it refers to screen density. In addition to hdpi, there are ldpi (low), mdpi (medium), and now xhdpi (extra high). Drawables that are for specific screen densities are stored in separate drawable folders. In addition to supporting multiple screen densities, android can also support several different echelons of the os. These are what the "-v" designations are for. So a "drawable-hdpi-v11" directory would hold drawables for high density screened devices that are on api 11 or higher.

Refer to the Compatibility section of the android developers site for all the info.

You don't have to have any specific version of android market to use this. You could not have any market installed at all (although it does use permissions from some of the other google apps, like Talk.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, etc). The way things "normally" work here is that as new versions of Vending.apk are released, we are "silently" updated (meaning done without any input from us). I was simply curious if there was something in particular that you were looking for with v2.3.6. The latest version of the market is 3.1.3. I have a themed version of it as well, just click on the top link in my signature.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
So this should work with all phones, right?? And if this does work with my device which is the Samsung GTI9003 Galaxy S SCL then can I have your permission to add this into my custom ROM?;);)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
It should work on all hdpi phones. In the interest of saving myself some time (takes me long enough with these as is, lol) I removed the mdpi resources to eliminate a few conflicts that I had.

Now with version 2.3.6 I did resign the apk. This was required since I modified the manifest. *Some* people had problems due to this. It is resigned with the aosp platform certificate. If you do have any fc's, it will be from permissions problems likely related to a change in uid's. With 3.0.26, 3.0.27, and 3.1.3 I was able to leave the manifest alone, so I didn't have to resign.

I've always given permission to use my work to those respectful enough to ask. Just make sure I'm given credit (unless you find something broken....then that must be caused from something you did, lol :p). However you'd want to be credited yourself is fine with me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
Thank you. We can just apply this by installing it like any other apps right??

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
If you are using 2.3.6, then yes....since it is resigned. If you're talking about the new 3.x versions of the market then I don't think so. In those cases I believe you will have to have a stock version installed first. I have not tested this, but I'd assume that package manager would complain since the file hashes in the signature would not match what is in the apk.

However, there is one thing that I'm not sure of. 2.3.6 should indeed install fine via package manager, but I'm unsure of how it will all integrate with Talk and GoogleServicesFramework. I always just pushed it to my phone over the existing market. You'll need to do a bit of experimenting in that department.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazbanditz:
Oh... Then I could just do a nandroid backup then replace the vending.apk with root explorer??
