I am using 'Sebastiaan15's Runny AIO V6.0.7' ROM and though i Flashed the ZIP file it didnt work :(

I trid replacing the Vending.apk with RootExplorer but didnt work either :confused:

does that have anything to do with the Sense Rom compatibility ?

Try extracting the apk from the zip and just installing it. You may need to resign it after you extract it. Signapktic on the market works for signing:)

pendo, wonderful market again. thank you very much! one little bug: in menu "my apps - installed" i don't have a transparent background. it's black. all other sites are with transparent background.

Ok, thanks...I'll take a look. Even though the apk itself didn't change that much, I put a lot of work into this one. I'm probably rusty, lol, but I spent most of the day yesterday fiddling with it. I ended up changing A LOT to get it all working on ics as well as keeping everything intact for 2.3 (or so I thought, lol). Lots of little name changes and since I don't know my way around api-11 and up a lot of time was just spent cross referencing the parent attributes of the styles for api-11 and api-14.

I never was able to get the settings menu transparent on ics. Also, in ics there are no icons for the settings menu...just text. Not sure if I can change that (well, easily anyway...it's certainly possible to do in ics).

thanks for your work and time pendo! your market is the best. if it is not possible to change black background on "installed" site it's not really a big problem.

one question. i have seen that PaulDiddy have disabled autoupdate on his blue-market app. can you do this also on your transparent market? i don't need always newest market but i need your wonderful market ;):):)

I've made a few updates to the file linked in the op....please let me know if the my apps page is transparent.

Good 'ol PaulDiddy...he's really stepped up his efforts lately. I used to help him a little bit when he first started. I used to do this, but then they changed the way they update and it broke my edit. I'll try to take a look at his method sometime....no promises to integrate tho for now. ;)

There are 2 possible reasons....one is that your market is named something different so flashing mine is simply adding an additional apk. Packages.xml would still be listing the other apk as the source file. Or another reason might be that my updater script doesn't actually work on your device and therefore nothing's getting flashed.

If it's the latter, then simply extract Vending.apk from my zip and copy in place with a root explorer (set perms to 644 or rw,r,r). If it's the former, then all you need to do is find the name of the apk and where it's stored. An easy way to do that is with an app called DevTools by PandaDev. There's a feature called Package Browser....that will tell you where the source file is stored at. Look for the package com.android.vending

The market on the EVO 3D is named Phonesky.apk now, instead of vending...

Thanks for the quick reply, my problem is that ur file doesn't want to install. In recovery, it's giving me an error. I know is not the recovery because, I installed a theme with no problems.

Oops! Sorry about that...I had an extra updater script in there that was/is being experimented with. It's fixed now.

    5/6 - Fixed theming on the "add credit card" page.

    TransBluePhonesky3.5.16-rev3-signed.zip





    5/1 - small tweak....updated to show all apps, regardles of dpi setting. Also by popular request, the auto update is killed. :D

    This one is a little different in that I've left the name as Phonesky.apk and it will flash to /system/app. If you're replacing another one that's installed as Vending.apk, you'll need to delete that or else you won't notice any change. Oh...one more thing...it is *significantly* larger than the stock version. This is due to all my added images, particularly for xhdpi devices.


    TransBluePhonesky-3.5.16-signed.zip




    4/9-Updated to 3.5.16.

    Took a while to get things sorted out where they look right (mostly) with ics. It's not quite as clean as my previous versions as there's some graphics I'd like to rework, but it's not too bad.

    Same as usual, here's a zip to flash in recovery:

    -->TransBlueGooglePlay3.5.16-signed.zip<--

    ...and if you want to go back, here's a zip with an unmodified market:

    GooglePlay3.5.16-stock-signed.zip


    Remember, my update script will place Vending.apk in you /system/app directory. So if you were updated from 3.5.15 you'll need to remove /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk by uninstalling updates or removing via adb or root explorer. Also, I noticed that in the new ics rom they've called it Phonesky.apk when it's initially installed in /system/app. (The package name in the Manifest is still com.android.vending though)





    UPDATE 3/24

    Here's the newest apk with my well known theme. There were several changes to the layout files this time, including many new layout files...so please let me know if you see any inconsistencies or areas that I missed.


    FLASH IN RECOVERY

    -->TransBlueGooglePlay-3.5.15-signed.zip<--


    If you wish to revert, here's the unmodified market, also in a recovery zip:

    GooglePlay-3.5.15-stock-signed.zip


    As usual, please make sure you don't have any version of the market installed in /data/app/. If you do, please uninstall updates in the application management section. The zips will place Vending.apk in /system/app.


    Once again, I want to say I really appreciate all of the compliments I've received on the meager contributions I've posted. It's hard to believe I've been doing this for over a year and a half now.....coming from absolutely zero experience, I've learned a lot from this place and it's nice to be able to give back a little.:)



    3/17

    I've updated for the new Play Shop. It looks the same...or well it's supposed to anyway. If I get some time I might play around with my button dimensions/layout a little bit.

    Here's a zip to flash in recovery:

    TransBlueMarket-3.4.7-signed.zip


    12/27 - Fixed a couple small text color issues, otherwise the same. Link updated below.

    12/22 - Update to 3.4.4

    Flash in recovery. Updater-script installs in the /system/app directory so don't forget to uninstall updates in settings if you have been OTA updated to 3.4.4. As always, please let me know of any issues anyone runs into.

    TransMarket-3.4.4bl-v2-signed.zip



    12/8 - Update to 3.3.12

    I fixed a couple small detail items that weren't 100% in the previous version. I think it's working pretty good on the N1 at least. Tablets still have some work to do. Mdpi should be good to go as well. Let me know if there's any problems.

    Hope to work on the green one soon...

    TransMarket-3.3.12bl-signed.zip

    Update for 3.3.11:-FIXED 12/5 (will update to newer versions soon)
    For now it's just the blue trimmed version. I would like to get the others up as well, but I've had several requests to extend this onto mdpi screens as well, so that's next on the agenda.

    Flash in Recovery

    TransMarket-3.3.11bl-signed.zip

    Please ensure you've uninstalled updates or otherwise removed all com.android.vending.apk entries from data/app, as this zip will place Vending in your /system/app directory.


    9/25 Update to 3.1.5

    Ok, finally got my theme ported into 3.1.5. I'll admit that this hasn't been real thoroughly tested, but so far so good for me. The themes are almost exactly like before...it's not identical, but it would be very hard to tell the small changes that were made.

    FLASH IN RECOVERY
    Blue trim-TransMarket_3.1.5bl-signed.zip

    Green trim-TransMarket_3.1.5gr-signed.zip



    *These will flash to /system/app directory. It is very likely that you were silently updated to 3.1.5 and therefore have the apk in /data/app. If the Market is not themed after flash, go to settings>applications>manage applications>select "All" tab and scroll down to Market. Select uninstall updates.


    Original stock market: AndroidMarket_3.1.5-stock-signed.zip



    ==========================================================

    UPDATE 8/27

    After some work, I have finally got the update to 3.1.3 done. At first glance I assumed it would be an easy update....wrong. There were a couple smali files that were straight copies, but most were not, requiring me to go through them again and in a couple cases make new additional edits. I *think* I've got everything now though. Please let me know of any errors you find.

    I've made a couple slight color variations this time. Nothing major, just trimmings mostly like buttons, loading spinners, progressbars etc. The default category colors for apps/games, books, and movies remain. The screenshots from below from the previous version should be almost exactly the same as what you'll find in the new blue version.

    As before, this uses the original signing certs, so I don't expect anyone will have any conflicts.

    ==========================================================

    Hello again everyone....yes I'm still here.:) I know I originally said I wasn't planning on theming this market, but I was asked by another member to help him with his, so through that process I started tinkering again. In my opinion the layout of this app doesn't lend itself well to a transparent theme, but it did turn out better than I expected. Had to dig around in smali quite a bit more than usual, too.

    I had long ago decided to keep the color coordination going. I think that added a nice touch to the app. That actually was one thing that took a bit of time cause I really wanted to keep the color matching consistent. There are a couple additions that kind of buck that rule...most of my buttons are blue, and the progressbar and progressbar_indeterminate are blue in sections.

    **This looks best over darker wallpapers. The text colors are designed as such**

    Here's some screenshot's:

    3.0.27-sample1.png
    3.0.27-sample2.png
    3.0.27-sample3.png
    3.0.27-sample4.png



    Please do let me know of any omissions that you find. I'm sure that I've missed a few things as I didn't look at every page. Oh, and this isn't resigned so there shouldn't be any FC issues like in previous editions. The only time (times, lol) I had an FC was when I broke something in smali. :D

    Thanks for looking!!

    op updated with 3.5.15

    OK....I've spent quite a bit of time on the update, and I think I've got the bulk of it done. But I could use some help to find what all I've missed and/or what else needs attention. I need to take a break from this for a day or two also. :eek:

    So I'm going to call this one a beta, although that might be a bit generous lol. This is what would be considered the blue trim version, although as most of you know my themed market retains most of the stock colors. The Staff Picks and Editors Choice still have green backgrounds. From what I can tell these might be downloaded on the fly, but I'm not sure. After a long night working on this, I might've just missed it somewhere. Mdpi is still not themed yet.

    Please report back with any issues/oversights.

    Apologies for the tardiness in the update...aside from the usual distractions this time of year I've been working on a small project for Galaxy Nexus.

    But I did manage to make it before Christmas, lol. Hopefully this one can last a little longer than 3.3.12 did. (fat chance, I know...)
