I enjoy zip theming, it is the correct way to theme. You are zip theming when you created your Domination theme, you just take those edits and put them in your subs theme. @Char_G you are awesome, and so is Mr. Chum, but there are far too many dummies that are involved over there. I'll be happy to go back and theme the old fashioned way. Or i can just use my iphone and not worry about any of it at all... [emoji13]

Well, enjoy that iPhone, I'll be enjoying Substratum and thanking my lucky stars that we're fortunate enough to have such an awesome team of devs who are willing to create something awesome to share with the Android community. Don't be a hater

I'm right there with you. I would rather do it the old way. You get more options and less hassle.

Well considering the dude we thought was gonna be a part of the team was supposed to be taking it over from me, but is now MIA.. I haven't thought about it. But now that you mention it, I'll make you wait even longer. Have a great day! ?
Google Drive is being updated or not?

I won't be surprised if the answer will be No based on this question and the way it was asked
@TeamBlackOut we do appreciate your efforts

The way it was asked? How do you want it to be asked, upside down?

WhatsApp 2.17.79 (Play Store version)

NOTICE:
Although I have the app running myself,I am not responsible for any harm done to your device.
If you can't get this inverted app to work, this is very inconvenient, however you will have to use the official Play Store version.

Dev-Host is still giving me issues with uploading, so only AFH links available.

What download do I need to choose???
You can try the signed install of your choice first. Keep in mind that you cannot create online backups with the signed installers. Verifying number also doesn't work.
If the signed install doesn't work, and you have root access, keep on reading. If you don't have root and the signed install doesn't work, I can't help you.

Installation instructions
Signed install
  1. Install original Whatsapp
  2. Verify number
  3. Uninstall Whatsapp
  4. Install BlackedOut version
  5. Open Whatsapp and check if it's still verified
If Whatsapp is no longer verified then you will need to repeat process, but after verification create a backup through Titanium Backup and restore the data from this backup after installing BlackedOut version.
Code:
Since Titanium Backup requires root, my advice would be to use steps below

Flashable zip
I would advise users with root access to download the flashable zipfile they want/need. In order to determine which zipfile you need do the following:
  1. Install original Whatsapp
  2. Verify number through app
  3. Install/Open a root explorer
  4. Browse to /data/app
  5. Scroll down to /data/app/com.whatsapp-?
  6. Take notice of the number in the whatsapp folder name
  7. Download the flashable zipfile with the same number as you saw in the Whatsapp folder name on your device
  8. Reboot to recovery and flash the zipfile

Explanation:
Reason for flashing to data partition is simple. I couldn't get whatsapp to work on /system partition anymore. Since I do want the ability to use cloud backup, I tried flashing the apk (with original signature) to /data partition, overwriting the old apk. This worked for me. Just make sure you disable auto-update for Whatsapp, since you won't be able to revert by uninstalling updates.

Request: can the Google keep widget be transparent with no black BG like the clear calendar widget? Cheers.

No, that's something you can do for yourself though. Not changing it because one person after years of it being black.

Let's please STOP asking about updates, please follow forum rules and just wait.

We do this in our spare time, not full time so please just wait to see what's released and be happy with what is there. You want more then do it!


I'm Getting frustrated yes!

    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
