[Metamorph] Flat Black Swype

I themed Swype to be flat and black to better fit my aesthetic and making the metamorph available here. Note this is just a metamorph, not the app; you have to have the app already. Keep a backup version of your APK on hand in case this theme doesn't work.
The version I used for this metamorph was Swype_v2.4.44.10912_WVGA_English_ANDROID.apk. I think it should work across WVGA versions as long as they have the same layout.
Here's the instructions- 1. make sure you have the most recent MetaMorph from the market
2 with a file manager like root explorer go into /data/app and find com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
3 long press on the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk and select move
4 navigate to /system/app and select paste
5 long press on it again and select rename, name it swype.apk (all lower case) then reboot phone
6 open up Metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme
7 navigate to the BlackSwype.zip and apply the theme
8 reboot again
note you have to reboot your phone 2 times during this process.
Enjoy.

I think you have to hit the "Mount r/o" button then paste

havent tested it yet, prob the 2.2.10 for 2.1 devices & 2.2.70 for 2.2 devices
Some ppl said it works by delete/move/rename old android.vending in system/apps then place this apk in that folder. reboot and you should have the new market on ur devices.
thanks : f000h

always FC on mytouch 4g

Pretty sure you have to rename whichever you put there to "Vending.apk" but not positive, read that in another thread.

ya.. u need 2rename it Vending.apk then copy paste using rootexplorer

changelog?

anybody tried this? is this thing working?

There's a 2.2.7 for 2.1 devices somewhere on this forum from when it was first released for 2.2 devices.

Yes, rename the package to Vending.apk and copy/move it to the /System/Apps folder using adb or Root Explorer. I would recommend making a backup copy of your existing Vending.apk just in case you run into problems.
v2.2.70 is working just fine on my Samsung Galaxy S DJ20 running 2.1

You know what I have installed this but in a few simple steps:
1:MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> Then the Running tab.
3:Force Stop Google Services Framework and Clear its data
4:Repeat step 3 for Market
5:Install new market for what ever version of android you are running.
6:Reboot
7:DO NOT SKIP the new device setup
8:Start up the market and accept TOS
9rofit????????
I am running 2.2.1 on my milestone with a custom ROM (Cronos) but this is exactly what I did and the new market is pretty AWSOME!!!! XDDD Although one note is that the market did force close a couple of times before I got the TOS so try and try once more, but enjoy it if you get it up and running

[App] Android Market 3.1.6

Heres 3.1.6 it works great on my optimus . You need to replace Vending.apk in system/app because it wont install like a standard app ;( so rename the download to Vending.apk and copy it to the system/app folder and overwrite the old version then set these perms:
Or get the flashable version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18042212&postcount=19

installed and working fine
Leedroid 4.0 rom and Lordmod 2.2 Kernel

Hmm, I have done this and set the permissions as described (where X = active in root explorer) - I get no connection when starting the market. Fault on my side?

Thanks mate

Works but...
Works for me just as good (or bad) as the 3.15. But I don't see any big changes after all those minor updates, and it is still not as fast and smooth as the very old market but at least it looks nicer.

I did, now I did it a second time and let it be for a few minutes. Works now

Did your phone update to this version automatically or did you install from another source?

im going to make a update.zip for this so it runs a script to remove all traces of any other market versions.

I was an idiot....
The problem has solved. Becuse of /system/bin/Vending.odex
Works very fine now after delete that file

Solved all of my force close and performance issues with 3.1.5.
Here's a flash-able zip for anyone that would rather do it that way...
There has been some concern about the signing of this apk. I did not find this, only made it into a flashable zip.
Download at your own risk.
I have personally had zero issue with this market version and it has actually relieved all performance and force closes issues I had with previous versions

Works great on htc sensation.

I hope no one actually uses this. It's main permission is to allow it to directly call phones numbers that cost you money.

90% os launchers have this permssion: it's for direct call widgets/shortcuts.

Updated!
I have updated it to make it look more slick and Trebuchet runs faster

Hi, I need help to install it please, and can you put a mirror download please ?
I really dont know how to install it, I put it into system/app, adding ".bak" after the original Trebuchet.apk.
But every time I do this and I want to install your tweaked Trebuchet.apk, it it said that "application not installed".
Can you help me ? Because your tweak seems to be good !!

[Q] Google Calendar on Stock JB??

As the title says, when I was on ICS, i had Google Calendar and its useful widget, but on JB, it is gone.
Is there any way to get it back??

Mine is there....Is the entire application missing? I'd think being on stock none of that stuff would be touched/modified.

The .apk must be installed normally or it should be put in /system??
please help!

you have to install it to the system. try using a file explorer or adb, i prefer adb cos its faster. if you use root explorer, set the permission to wr-r-r. and you put it in /system/app

Did tried that, but it didn't worked either. After some little investigation, Calendar.apk was in system/app the whole time. It seems the problem comes from CalendarProvider.apk. I went to system/app, tried to install CalendarProvider.apk, and it gave an error, telling me that the same app was installed, but with a conflictive signing.
Can anyone provide me with a clean, JB version of CalendarProvider.apk??
the internets is full of the GB and ICS version of that one...
Thanks in advance.

I will upload one as soon as I get home. And make sure you have a root explorer and move the app to the folder and set permission wr-r-r.
