App-BarControl repackaged with Updated Icons **Not a Morph**

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.

Chompsms ?

Since the android stock messaging app kinda sucks and handcet is slow ass hell i decided to try this app, and i really like it, i know its a total ripoff from the iphone messaging app tough ,i modified the colors used for the text bubbles but can the "send button" be tweaked too? it screaaams iphone x.x

I'd try modifying the following files in the APK. They're in the drawable folders. You can use an app like 7-zip to modify them and resave the APK file:
Code:
send_via_carrier_button_unpressed.png
send_via_carrier_button_disabled_background.png
send_via_carrier_button_pressed.png

[REQUEST]A themed stock messaging app?

There are plenty of themes for the messaging widget, making it more transparent or changing the colors of the buttons to access it, but the inside of the app itself is still white and uninteresting.
So, can someone please theme one? Or, if it's been done, send me to where I can find a themed stock messaging app? Maybe a black background and green text? or hell a black background and many options as to the color of the text. Just something that isn't that drab white. It doesn't go with any rom I've flashed.
If anyone can do it, thank you!!!

*bump*
is this really not possible?

I think this is why people use the alternative messaging apps. Theming in handcent and Chomp SMS is built in.
What's so great about the stock messaging app that you prefer it, anyway?

1. The widget is full screen, transparent and simple. Hancent you consistently have to click on the little picture, then menu, then "all threads"...it's annoying. Also, in most themed sense roms, the widget is themed but not the app itself. So in myn's rom, everything is dark and transparent...but when you open the app, it's boring and white. It's like you're only trying to make the home screens look better and nothing else. Also, you can't theme the widgets from chomp or handcent, so unless your theme happens to look like their widgets, it looks out of place and you're boned anyway.
2. Handcent and Chomp have ads. Ads are annoying and make the product look cheap. I even paid for chompsms ads to go away and they came back. I left a strongly worded e-mail...and review...and i tell people not to get it.
3. the stock app is faster and takes up less space than the 3rd party ones and can't be uninstalled. You HAVE to have it, so why can't someone spend some time and make an app you HAVE to have look a little better?
4. Gmail, menus, the drawer launcher, the drawer itself and various other stock programs are themed all the way through, why not the messaging app too?
I would ask for the stock sense mail app too but I don't use it enough to really care. The messaging app I use 200 times a day minimum.

I love the look of the stock messaaging app in CM6 and would like to have the same thing on a sense rom. Im sure its possible some how.

*bump*
devs, there's a call for a modded messaging app (not just the widget!).
Who is brave enough to heed the call? CM already has one but it's aosp, we need a sense one.
Please? Anyone? Bueller?

I've always wanted this also. I didn't think it was possible since no one has a themed mms.apk in their rom, so I never posted about it. I did use the cm6 version of AOSP but for some reason mms never worked. Hopefully some of the great developers on xda can get this done for us.

k done with theming it
:edit: it looks nice but after theming it doesn't work constant force-close

You, sir, rock!
Oh yeah, this is another *bump*
If you need a tester, I'll be around IRC all day tomorrow. The words "bad" and "ass" come to mind.

Bump to the top with this one, I don't know how much longer I can handle using a bland, white messaging app in Myn's RLS5.

1) With LauncherPro plus you can have a messaging widget that displays messages from what ever messaging program you use. Its great, I love it!
2) I've never tried ChompSMS because I love Handcent and I've never once seen an advertisement except for an ad for one of their own services within the settings menu. Such a tiny infraction is something I cannot fault them for given how long I've been using their otherwise ad free app.
3) You're right on this one but its really not a concern. On my old MyTouch 3G, I worried about it, absolutely. However, given that Froyo offers the ability to install apps to the SDcard there is absolutely no reason to worry about space. Its just silly. Its akin to being worried about fitting a six pack of beer in a Suburban.
4) No clue, so I'm not going to address it.

[THEME][4.30.13][UNIVERSAL] App Packs - Stock/Inverted/Transparent

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.

[APP] 4.1.2+ Fellow (Facebook Replacement App)

"Time to Rebel"
With the recent changes Facebook has made to make us use the Facebook Messenger app, ive taken a next step to start building a Java based Chromeview built specifically for Facebook allowing you to message users the way its always been. In a nutshell, Fellow is a WebApp based on Facebook Mobile.
Here it is
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NxIndustries.myfacebookfree
With the recent update, I focused on Media uploading and Java scripting and for the majority of Kitkat devices, it works but for some, you arnt so lucky...
Facebook Lockscreen
I actually found this activity on accident while developing my Launcher for the HTC M8 and figured i'd make a small app out of it.
Set Facebook Lock is a small application that allows a backdoor to use the Facebook Home's lockscreen without the need of the actual Home application and allows any device to use it bypassing Facebook's device detection. (I do not actually know if it works for all devices but worth a shot)
Google Play

Working on Note 3 Stock ROM and Note 1 with CM11. Thanks!

All i ask in return is a friendly review on google play! =)

Working on another Facebook app to coencide with this, will update thread soon. Time to Rebel

My Facebook app introduced

My Facebook *Free* introduced, ads driven
My Facebook will be recieving an update soon. Focuses on the following
-Java scripting update (Adds media upload support, Facebook mobile web actions enabled , native file upload/download support for media)
-Renamed to "Fellow"
-Materia UI inspired
-Splash added
-Overall enhanced performance (chromeview/webview)

Awesome app mate, love it so much that bought ad free version...
2 suggestions though:
- Make arrows on top bar smaller and plain should blend better with material ui... It seems a bit off to my eyes.
- Make refresh button movable and excludable (is that even a word?) like Facebook chat heads, because it gets in the way,and going to menu and enabling/disabling it is a bit troublesome, therefore moving it somewhere else as needed seems easier... You could even make it hide like halo from paranoid

Il take this into consideration! This is what i like to here.
I agree on icons as basically their place holders for now, need to make it more material like. Need to make a material style for kitkat users. Floating Action Button was an experimental thing. I didnt know how people would react to it at first but its one of the things that make this webapp unique.

Cool! I quite like the floating refresh button, if you make it movable, it would be perfect!
Maybe add a full screen option?
That's very good work mate! I also use your launcher

This app is amazing, I'm really hate the official Facebook app and Fellow is perfect for me.
Just a few kilobytes, and a million times better than the official app, great work!
The only thing that bothers me is the loading bar (Image at attachments), If you can place it a little higher it will be awesome.

That was bothering me as well over few days after using it lol. Il surely look into it.

Great, hope you will fix it soon.
I left a review at the Play Store (Free version), look into it

Gonna be working on an update soon and taking everyone's feedback into consideration. I will be adding a more material feel to this as well as transparency options for kitkat+ users.
