This is not a morph! Install as you would any non-Market .apk, with Astro, etc.
****************
So, I love using BarControl for putting apps on the Notification Bar, but found the icons available in the app old and tired looking, especially on an N1.
I used the auto-sign program for Market .apk s from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666441 to rework the app with some 2.1 icons, icons from some of the other apps a lot of us use, as well as Facetwat and some of the other social networking apps you kids are so fond of now adays.
The number of icons I could include was limited to the number of icons available in the stock Market app. The new icons just had to have the same name as the old ones.
Again, this is not a morph nor flash from recovery. Just install the apk with your favorite file manager. Uninstall any previous version of BarControl you have installed. This should work on any Android phone.
Anyway, let me know if it works and what you think. Thanks to St0kes for creating the auto-sign program.
TO MODS: This is a free app in the Market, so I assume I'm not doing anything wrong. If I am, please delete and my apologies.
I use bar control so thanks for the changes.
Holy ****. Thank you for doing this. I've used bar control since it came out, and the dev doesn't seem to be anywhere around. I've dealt with the icons because i love this functionality. this should be built into the OS. Thanks alot!

We're on the same page. You're welcome. When I saw the apk re-signing program this was the first app I thought of to attempt some editing.
Someone pointed out to me that I left off the SMS icon, as well as Calendar and a few more. That plus now that it looks like at least 500 of us are rocking the new Dropbox app, with more to come, forced me to do another version. . Most of it is the same, but I removed almost all the old BarControl Icons and added in SMS, Calendar, Corp Cal, CorpGAL, Google Googles, NavLauncher, and a couple more small edits.
Either version will work just as well. Just pick the one you need.
So i am trying to get into ADW Launcher themeing, I have a good friend who has been helping me [im more of a graphic designer and hes the coder] well hes a combination of busy and lazy and im trying to get rolling on compiling this theme together for use. I have an apk we started off with that only has 3 or 4 icon replacement images in it and it works so my question is, if I open this in ECLIPSE [which i have as well as all the android sdk and such] what exactly do I do to add more images and then resave/compile it to work...i know that you have to know like each tag line for each app to replace its icon, so if I have those and the apk file opened in eclipse what would I do next?...
bump* any help?
Originally, I put together these app packs to give extra options to those who use my Universal themes. However since these can be used on their own and are not theme dependent, I figured I would give then their own thread for all of you to enjoy
These theme packs use the VRTheme package to completely alter some of the most commonly modded apps. This will not add apps but simply alter apps that you currently have on your device.
Whiteout contains stock apps exactly as they would appear from the market (except Play Music which had been turned white)
Blackout contains inverted apps by B-boy, Team Blackout and the bear j koss
Xparent contains apps turned transparent by B-boy and Team Blackout
Each pack contains it's version of:
AOSP Email
AOSP Messaging
Dropbox
Flipboard (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Gmail
Google Maps (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Google Play Services (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Google Play Store
Google Plus
Google Talk (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Touchwiz Music Player
In order for the packs to work the apps must be located in your system/app folder and the names must match. I insured a couple versions of each using commonly used names by Rom devs but pleat check beforehand.
Capitalization is important as well
Download your choice
Reboot into recovery
Mount System
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Install App Pack
Be Patient
Reboot and Enjoy
Names need to match the below
Dropbox.apk
Flipboard.apk
Email.apk
Gmail.apk
Gmail2.apk
GMSCore.apk
GMS_Maps.apk
GoogleMusic.apk
GooglePlus.apk
Maps.apk
Music2.apk
MusicPlayer.apk
Mms.apk
Phonesky.apk
PlusOne.apk
Talk.apk
Talk2.apk
Enjoy!

OK... Not sure what the issue is... Just clear data for Google now and uninstall via TiBU if the voice search is not working for you... I'm gonna pull the packs and take out Google now till I figure out the issue... Sorry for the trouble
App packs are back up minus Google now

Just saw your update... Make sure the names in your system app match one of the names in the op before flashing... Also double check the apps that didn't theme by going into settings/applications.... If you select one and it says Uninstall updates then you need to do that in order to see the themed versions... All the apps in the pack should be up to date so you should be good
BTW these apps need to be in the system/app folder to get themed...

hey, can't have everybody's stuff in one. for all i know you could've asked and he said no. lol didn't know if you had seen any of his stuff. just tossing his name up here for other options. it's great that we have so many great devs with awesome work to choose from.
Thank you very much! It is always great to have droiders like my work. I like blue wayyyy to much to leave anything just black and white lol,,,but that may not appeal to the masses. I always love to see more themers active here, it helps keep the GS3 alive, keep it comin!

Delete. Read op too quick and my answer was right there
Hoping to have an update out tomorrow with updated Google plus, transparent aosp and transparent stock music player
1) Only thing that seemed to stick after the twrp flash was mms - which I personally like the most out of the themed mms's I've used - and gtalk. And I didn't have have gtalk installed before this. Did I need to delete the apps that this pack would be replacing before flashing in recovery??
2) Also, I avoid anything but face to face communication with my friends who have iphones and are so brilliant with their ability to jailbreak - done it for people before but just look at security setting on any android and check 'Unknown Sources' and boom....'jailbroken', why don't you try to unlock the bootloader or port HTC beats to any device or REALLY overclock a device........but I digress - when I do have to actually msg these people they love to do group msg's! Does this messenger have the same problem as most AOSP messenger with viewing cross platform group messagers??

This doesn't replace any apps that you don't already have and it doesn't add any new ones. You probably have other versions of the apps in your data/app folder. Even if the newer version is in your system/app, the phone will read the one from the data/app folder because it this it is gonna be newer...
For the apps that didn't appear to theme, you should go into settings/applications and find those apps... most likely it will have the option to uninstall updates... After you do that, the themed versions will appear...
If it only says Uninstall then that means the apps aren't on the system and that's why they didn't get themed
As for MMS.... yes any bugs that other aosp MMS may have, this will probably have them as well... this uses the aosp by sparkerjc which is also used in beans rom and I think MOAR Rom as well
Links will be down for a bit... Uploading update
Updated App Packs are up
Updated Play Store
Updated Google Plus
Added Transparent AOSP MMS
Added Touchwiz Music Player to all 3 packs
Can you add the calendar next time around. or link me to a zip to inverted calendar.

Hi can I ask? I want to make custom ROM from stock ICS for Xperia Tipo.. what app is safe to delete and what doesnt?? I hope anyone can help me with this.. I already search on google but I found nothing relate to this..
well there are some apps which can not be deleted at all
like google partner setup, systemui(status bar) and others
some apps like software update are not needed and are safe to remove
some other apps like phone app, messaging contacts and launcher etc can be replaced by an alternative app
like launcher can be replaced by a good launcher from play store
if you come across an apk you are not sure about, just google for its function
if it is not vital, then remove/replace it
is there any answer like list of it?
hi guys.
i remember reading a bit about this possibility a few years back, but i can't seem to find any useful info on it now.
i am looking to mod the XBMC apk for myself and a few friends, by turning it into a home launcher.
i know this can be done with certain apps from the play store, but i would prefer to do it this way.
anyone has some good tips on how to do it ?
bump?
