Dark Themed Google Play [Look Here]…

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.

Yes, I have found two and both work on the Skyrocket. One has a more "blue-theme" to it (Camblue NuBlue).. almost too much, but to each their own. Do NOT try to flash these zips... they are written for the EVO and Galaxy Nexus. Download the zips and EXTRACT the "Phonesky.apk". Then rename/move/delete the current PlayStore (Market) files. If they have self updated, go to /data/app and look for "com.android.vending-1.apk" (or for gmail, "com.google.android.gm-1.apk") and rename/move/delete. Then go to /system/app and rename/move/delete current Phonesky.apk (or Gmail.apk). Now, copy the new "Phonesky.apk" (or Gmail.apk) to /system, fix permissions (via Root Explorer) to rw.r.r, then MOVE from /system to /system/app. Reboot. That's it.
RUJELUS22 (EVO version)

CAMBLUE (Samsung Galaxy Nexus version, "NuBlue Theme")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835836
Again.. DO NOT FLASH THESE. Extract the Phonesky.apk and Gmail.apk, then proceed. I've been running both on/off for a while and absolutely no problems. Hope that helps.
Note: both also have Gmail 4.1.2 Inverted as well. In this case, I prefer Camblue's version.

PlayStore just updated again! 3.8.17 just over wrote my blue-theme inverted 3.8.16. I'll post links when either Rujelus22 or Camblue complete their inverted PlayStore 3.8.17 updates.
Install instructions for Skyrocket in my post (#2) above.
EDIT: the rujelus22 Inverted v3.8.17 is up"
