Hi guys - I have what might be a stupid question - if there's a zip ie: black play store for Nougat - but there isn't one listed for the 64 os does that mean that it's just not available or it will work regardless?

Arm is universal, Google has never done playstore for arm64. You're good to use normal MM-N zip

Added a couple more goodies to the Updater!

Please note: yes, I know YouTube is one update behind, but I don't have time to do it right now.

Enjoy!

Yo!

another question for the YouTube master:

The 'get YT Red' main background is set in smali or does it have a specific style that eludes me?

(I just noticed this yesterday as it won't show in settings if I use a vpn server of a country where YT Red is not offered...)

Cheers

Hi guys,

has TBO Youtube theme support for KK stopped?

thank you.
It appears so. Since Train is already constantly pumping out updates for 6 different versions of YT (black arm, black arm64, clear arm, clear arm64, theme ready arm, theme ready arm64) it would be unreasonable to expect him to maintain for a completely different OS that is soon to be 3 years old and has a completely different system structure.

Train,
Do you know where to find the color of the main background in the latest versions of YouTube? It used to be in colors.xml as primary_background. Now that doesn't work. I also can't find where to change the colour of the description of a video. It used to be in watch_info_card_portrait.xml in the layout-v17 folder.

Thanks

You could always user diffmerge to compare the last YouTube with new one to see changes made. Just a tip, I have no idea lol

Yup, Google didn't keep them all the same. He's not doing an extra 4 just for kitkat and below. We might start trimming the fat and drop support before lollipop. Google app and a few others are doing special old apk versions cause us to theme an app completely different. I'm not going to keep updating Google app for it either. Someone here is welcome to take over support but it's getting to be way to much work.

Yo,

Well, your question just reminded me that the video description text color was one of - if not- the last thing left on my YT todo list...

So I digged a little and between the 27 entries I had with the corresponding color code and the 54 files containing: android:id="@id/description", I've finally deducted that it had to be the 'slim_metadata' xmls (line#32 in both layout and layout-v17) and it worked!

As for the backgroud, I didn't try to change, but I did check in my and Train's smali_classes2\com\google\android\apps\youtube\app\watch\watchwhile\WatchWhileLayout.smali and the edit still calls for primary_background color public id. So no clue why it wouldn't work...

there, it used to be my much darker secondary color but it's better with white now that descriptions no longer expand from straight under the title. The contrast with links is also better: win-win.
edit: oh well my small ss looks like crap... just trust me that it works - lol

I didn't notice that change about behavior of the video description. It must be very new. The description was themed but the title was not. I managed to change it with slim meta data main color in colors.xml instead of messing with two files in layout. Thank you for the push in the right direction. In terms of the main background when you say the edit still calls for the primary_background colour so you mean that you had to change it from what it was.

    Team Black Out is a team of both veteran app "Inverters" and new-comers that want to learn. With over A lot of popular Blacked Out and Transparent Android apps in our list, we are sure to not only amaze you but to guarantee once you use our Themed Apps you'll Black Out for a while.. The Team isn't doing ROMS though. We are simply combining the great minds of some of the Best in the Business when it comes to making apps Blacked Out or Transparent. We have only a few team members now because some are planning on being lightly active, so if you're already into doing Blacked Out apps, hit us up if you wanna join. We don't want to train people from the ground up but you don't have to be the best either. We will are hosting guides on this site to help walk people through the process of Inverted Apps...



    T-BOTS.png





    T-BOTs are the Team Black Out Testers. When we update an app or start a new one from scratch, we can put anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours into 1 app for all of you and then testing that app can take 10-60 minutes and we don't use every app we Black Out so we're bound to miss some hidden things. Well, this is where our Loyal T-BOTs come into play. Once we update an app they get busy looking for issues for us. This gives us more time to be able to update more apps, start new apps or just have some non-android fun. So make sure you thank the T-BOTs when you get blown away from how amazing these apps are!












    Obviously this style is the most popular. We don't theme our apps with images but rather Invert the Colors so you'll have Dark backgrounds and Light texts. This is very popular and has become something that many avid Android users have come to thoroughly enjoy so we will do our best to give you more of what you love!



    Transparent.png




    Transparent apps have become more popular the last year or so and some members of the Team have been offering them for a while now. Our transparent series of apps are called Clear Apps. Being able to see your wallpaper while you're using your favorite apps is just cool! We'll be offering our own wallpapers soon for you to use!









    Ok kids... click on "Welcome to the Dark Side" at the top and it will take you to our official Team Black Out website! All downloads are hosted there only to keep track of everything. If you've used any of our apps in the past in your Aroma installers or in your ROM, you can still use them. Link back to our SITE wherever you post our content tho. Do not post something in a different forum using our work and then PM us to let us know and hope it's ok with us.... It isn't. Ask first and we'll work with you but ask for forgiveness and we have a problem.



    Thanks
