Does anyone know how to install these on an s10plus? I'm looking for an amoled version of Gmail and outlook and such. Someone recommend this to me but i could never seem to install them despite uninstalling and disabling the original stock apps. I wish there was a tutorial or something for how to use these apks.

Lastly how do I know which app is meant for rooted devices and which one is meant for unrooted devices?

If anyone can help me with the please let me know. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. thank you.

@thepersona, the majority of the black/clear Google apps that are/were available are flashable zips. So that means a rooted device with TWRP at least. How were you trying to install them?

The black and clear Google items are quite old and have no idea how well they would work for you. I assume you're on Pie?

hey man thanks for your response, yes I'm running the latest version of Android, I'm running Android pie on my Samsung Galaxy s10 plus with the latest March security patch.

I was just told to just have to uninstall the original lap and then re-download blacked out APK. They said there was apps that didn't require rooting even on the website. My device is not rooted and I don't think I ever will be rooting it. is there a way to install blacked out apps without root?

Nope. Google has blocked overlays in Pie. Whoever is telling you that is clueless.

Best option is use Custom UI Installer and ThemeGalaxy, which is basically a Samsung Theme.

This is why I'm thrilled to see more modded apps from Team Blackout again.

Welcome,

Our updated apps don't require root, telegram, Pandora, push bullet and now Google phone. You can install those.

Edit: OH BTW Push bullet in testing

@davidwilson83 (I figured it was you - finally) lol @djdarkknight96 - Thanks for the update to Telegram ?

Lol most welcome mate :good::good::good:

My apologies for the long time between updates, but when they released 5.6 it really f@#$ed me up big time. They completely changed everything within the internals of the code and it made my brain hurt beyond comprehension. It's so bad that they actually make Go_Ogle look like they know how to properly code, which is a scary thought! In saying that, I needed a lot of help to make this possible which I received from my dear friend @dwitherell time and time again. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to do this. But I'm very happy with the end result, and having both Clear and Black in the one app is awesome too. Enjoy mate and take care,

Dave

Black and clear v34 public beta patched Google dialer in the telegram channel for testing.


Enjoy!

I've been away for a while. I just had to get Razer phone last year so that pretty much killed theming for me. Got stupid RP2 this year. I have looked in the updater from time to time. I've been using the black xda and a few others. Sorry long story long I just said what the heck yesterday and installed the clear telegram. I had no clue what I've been missing. I've been using your themes for years DJ your the reason I was able to put up with Google at all. Thank you. Thank you so much.

    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
