Ok this is a little step by step for the rujelus22 themes (Google Apps ICS Themed/ Inverted) that ive posted recently on my apps list

please note that these themed apps were originally made for the HTC Evo so the installation steps you see on the site may not necessarily apply to our device, hence this little tut that im creating (found this out by trial & error)

there are 2 types that you have to be aware of
1) system apps 2) non system apps

system apps are stuff like music, gmail etc
non system apps are stuff like google translate etc
------------
System Apps Installaton
1) go to "settings>applications>manage applications>all>" choose the .apk you want to uninstall and clear all data and updates
2) go into your file explorer of choice (eg es/ rootbrowser etc) "system>app" and delete file/apk
3) download the zip/ apk
4) on your computer, use an zip tool (ie 7zip) to "open archive>system>app" and copy the .apk file to your sd root
5) push the .apk file into your system>app folder
6) set permissions to "rw-,r--,r--" in that order and w/o the quotes
7) reboot your phone before trying to open the apps
8) enjoy

Non System Apps Installation
1) go to "system>applications>manage applications>all>" and clear all data and updates
2) uninstall your existing version of the app
1) download the themed .apk
2) place it in sd root
3) click on icon
4) reboot
6) enjoy

** For the "Talk" app you need to extract both the .lib and the .apk. Push the .apk into system as stated above, and set the right permissions. 2nd extract the "libtalk_jni.so" and push it to "system>lib" and reboot **

-----------------
IMPORTANT NOTICE
1) These apps were NOT made for our device, it just so happens that they work on our OB so please just be thankful and don't give your attitude or negative comments in the thread if it dosent work properly in your particular device..... try to sort it out yourself.

2) Please download the correct version of the app that you have on your existing device (there are apps for ICS that will NEVER work for our OB)

3) Ive flashed/ installed the gmail, translate, play, music, dropbox, search, mms, talk w/o any problems so if you encounter one dont go ragging on the OP like I said these went originally meant for the HTC EVO.... minor troubleshooting can be done here

4) FB app on the site is not updated but can still be installed, but as soon as you update you lose the theme.... naturally, so its your choice.

5) GIVE THANKS TO ORIGINAL POSTER!!!!!!!!

------

FINAL IMPORTANT NOTICE
As with everything else the responsibility and risks involved with flashing ANYTHING lies on you and NO ONE ELSE..... so if flashing anything causes bootloops, wakelocks, brick, phone exploding or your chickens losing all its feathers......SUCK IT UP AND SORT IT OUT! Like I've said, ive installed these apps using the steps above and they work dandy......

Also please note I had no hand whatsoever in the creation of this theme/mod all credits should solely go to rujelus22

Have fun folks

I like it...

maybe you should make another thread: Optimus Black Custom Rom & and Modded-CyanogenMod Rom too

How to replace the background color settings, from white to black in leaked ICS 4.0.4?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

this is not a Q&A thread.

But you'll have to modifiy the framework and settings apk to do it, but since LG4.0.4 is odexed that will be a little hard.

SECOND POST UPDATED ADDED JELLYBAM to JB roms.
