You must have Root and use a program like system app remover or some other program that allows you to delete pre installed apps or system apps open it up and delete the stock facebook apk then simply place the black facebook apk on your sd card navigate to it using my files or any file manager program and install the apk just like you would if it was from the market

UPDATE! 8/1/11 TRANSPARENT GMAIL 2.3.5 GOOGLE VOICE! NEW-Gmail-Markets-Facebook
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
Those of you who had the dark-themed Market (i.e., PENDO’s dark-themed transparent 3.4.4 Market) and were saddened when Google Play updated over the top of your themed Market…. be sad no more. I did some serious searching and found the Inverted (dark theme) Google Play app that works on the Skyrocket Gingerbread. The suite of apps is by StyGian Studios and they just released a suite of Inverted Google Apps (Google+, Gmail, Email, Phonesky, Vending, Talk, Google Reader, Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Voice, Google Music, MMS, YouTube). It appears these are geared to run on ICS 4.0.3… I have only tested the Market (i.e., Google Play) on my I727-SR and it works brilliantly! I was able to update my purchased and free apps... and even made a new Google PlayStore purchase (for 49 cents) to test the purchasing functionality… everything works so far. I found these on RootzWiki (link below). This is version 3.4.7 (the same version Google just released yesterday and auto-updated to most of our phones... but theirs was the ugly ‘light’ version). Anyway, it works perfectly on my SR running Silver’s stock UCLA3 rom/kernel/modem. Apps are in CWM flashable zips. However, to be cautious, I opted to extract the apk from the zip and used Root Explorer to move to appropriate folder. Again, this is not my app… I found it on RootzWiki and credit goes to developer(s)… I just tested this on my own… on my Skyrocket… and it works! Here are the installation steps I took:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-in...pps-updated-3-7-new-googleplay-and-playmusic/
1) Make a nandroid of your current setup… just to be safe
2) Click on “Vending.apk” link on the RootzWiki link above (I believe the Phonesky.apk is geared toward ICS)
3) This will download the “InvertedVending.zip” to your computer/laptop
4) Extract using your favorite un-packer (7-zip, ALzip, etc) to desktop folder
5) Go to extraction folder and open system folder… app folder… and you will see “vending.apk”
6) Copy “vending.apk” to your phone (sdcard or external sd)
7) Now here is where you have to look in your directory tree and see where your current Play Store is installed… since PlayStore 3.4.7 just updated, you should find it in /data/app, and file name is “com.android.vending-2.apk” or “com.android.vending-1.apk”.
8) Rename that file (I renamed mine “com.android.vending-2.apkOEM_PLAYSTORE”)
9) Check your /system/app folder to see if you have a current “vending.apk” in there… If you do, to be safe just rename it (in case you need to restore). I didn’t have another vending.apk.. but do have the phonesky.apk in there… but as I said, I believe those are geared toward ICS.
10) Now, move the new “vending.apk” you moved to phone sdcard to: /system/app
11) Fix Permissions (using Root Explorer) to rw.r.r
12) Reboot phone
13) Put new shortcut on your home screen for Play Store
14) Enjoy!
Now… word of caution. If Google decides to OTA update again, it will most likely overwrite this Inverted theme again. But no worries… I’m sure someone will theme the update again… or you can just go back into /data/app and rename what Google puts in there and restore this Inverted theme apk.
Nice

It's always a challenge finding these themed Google apps... especially the latest versions... and this works perfectly on the Skyrocket.
Found a blue transparent themed Google Play in the Galaxy S I9000 subforum. Any reason this would not be compatible?

Sorry, dont mean to threadjack, but I didnt know if it would be compatible with our phones yet, so I didnt want to start a new thread about it.

How to install
1. in case you have patience, and got hold of CWM flashable zip then you know how to flash
2. in case you are lazy like me or dont want to reboot and have root file explorer, just push the files to appropriate folder (if you cant figure out folders then better stay away, it can be hazardous also), change permissions and owner. (Yeh.. some time still i need to reboot, so much of pain to fingers )
How i push apks and libs to system (if 5 or less files, otherwise i prefer CWMflash method):
1. using root explorer extract needed file
2.move extracted files to /system
3. Go to /system, select individual file, long press and select permissions menu
4. change permissions to rw-r--r-- i.e. all rows in "read" column, "owner" row in "write" column and none in "execute" column, once permissions selected press ok
5. select same file, long press and select change owner from displayed menu. change owner and group as "root"
6. once all files are changed for permissions and owner, move them to appropriate /system/lib or /system/app folder. You should move libs first to /system/lib
7. if there more files then i prefer to use CWMflash method. attaching template that can come handy. you have to unzip template, place apks and libs in appropriate folders and zip it again them so that "system" folder is in root of zip file structure.
Edit: 02Nov- link to Camera/Gallery modified for patched file
Edit: 03Nov- link to Deskclock.apk and launcher added
Edit: 04Nov- link to few more
Edit: 05Nov- Link to complete GApps:good:
In case there is any release that i have missed, let me know. i can add it to list as one place to refer for G Note community.

You may have to try it out. I like RR v1 so much, don't want shift just to try new app
Its not that very tough. If you have file explorer with root browser, you may just push the files to appropriate folders and change permissions and owner. If required reboot
Hope that helps.

These have all worked really well for me, but since changing the device to nexus so the camera works, i can't seem to enter the play store.

You don't have to remove stock camera to installing this. I have both working in device. In case you removed it with purpose you can always pull it from ROM zip and push it to device.
Hope that helps.

There's a patched camera apk on the miui forum that doesn't need an altered build.prop for the photospheres to work.
To get the viewer to work you need the updated GMs.apk

I have installed the keyboard as the post says and it is working fine. :good:
I have both the old keyboard and the new keyboard. Right now I like better swype, maybe it is because I use it in spanish and the recognition is not that great in my language.
Hope this helps anyone.

Hi guys, I flashed the patched v2 zip, running Rocket JB V1, and checked with root explorer that permissions was still only r--r- with something called sticky. Changed it to code 644 rw-r--r on lib files and apks. Camera works fine, but at the end of rendering panorama it still FCs. Video recorder also seems to be freezing up after a few seconds of recording. Any ideas?
Thanks!
UPDATE
Changed system language to US English, and sphere is working fine now. Video camera seems to be working ok if you don't try to touch focus.
i flashed they keyboard and its awesome then i flashed the camera app and did fix permissions but now the gallery app opens and says 0 images or videos and it fcs in like 5 sec ,, i checked my root DCIM folder for the images ,, all of them are there now plz help me what should i do to get my gallery app back but plz i dont wanna to full wipe !!!

Does it drive you crazy to download the gapp.zip package to get all the Google apps while flashing a custom rom like cm ??
Well no more downloading the large file again....
This iz a simple yet effective solution...
Unless you are upgrading to a later version of android , gapps.zip will have the same apps as they are currently in ur phone...
Even when u r updating to a later version of android you can use the method....
So here's what to do:
Basically we would create apk file of the current Google apps on ur system and install it later...
Simple. Isn't it ?
So just download any app that can create apk files of the application installed like "app backup and restore" ....
If u r using this app, then go to setting and you would find a option to show system applications. Check that and you would find all the applications in the list...
If using any other restore app , check for the same option in setting.
Tik the required applications like gmail, maps, playstore, drive, transport etc...
I would recommend to archive the whole lot of google apps...
Create the apk file...
Go ahead , flash your rom and just use these apk and get going...
If this post helped you please hit the thanks button...
If it's helping you it must be thanked.
