Hi there

Is there any chance to get a blacked out ES File explorer? Latest version is V3.0.7.0

rujelus22 has done it once but he stopped updating (latest version was 3.0.5.1).

Thanks

See below





ATTENTION: DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS WE ARE ON VACATION UNTIL JANUARY. AFTER THAT WE ARE GOING TO REWORK HOW AND WHEN WE UPDATE. THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND WITH UPDATER ISSUES AND HAVING OVER 50 UPDATES WAITING FOR US. STAY TUNED AND WE WILL TRY AND THINGS EASIER FOR EVERYONE!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Enjoy folks, and thanks for all the apps this year. It's been a pleasure running them on my phone.

No, because they are taking a break from theming. Questions, comments, or issues can still be posted here. Just no requests or gripes about updates. It's been noted numerous times not to post or ask about updates. They know about updates and do them when they feel it is necessary. They will still be monitoring their threads while they are enjoying the holidays.

Am i the only one having this problem?:

I strictly followed all the steps said by TBO on installing the blacked out play store 4.4.22.

-Uninstalled play store updates in settings>all apps
-Deleted vendor.apk and phonesky.apk in /system/app
-Deleted phonesky.apk in /data/app
-Rebooted to recovery then flashed the black playstore 4.4.22 then reboot to system

Success! Blacked out play store v4.4.22! BUT, after a few hours i decided to restart my phone coz i need to flash some mods, then boom! When i rebooted to system, the play store just automagically updated to 4.5.10.. :banghead:

Is the play store automatically updating itself even with deleting both vendor.apk and phonesky.apk prior to flashing the black play store? This happens to me all the time when there is a new official play store version..

Or am i missing something here? :what:

Htc One S, s-off, maximusHD rom, stock kernel, sense 5/android 4.2.2, just in case if these matters..

Unfortunately there is an update to playstore and it will always update itself. If you can't wait till after the holidays for team blackout to work thier magic there are a couple of inverted play store by other themers .I won't post the links on here as I don't want to disrespect the hard work the team do but if you search xda you will find them.

I've tried some other inverted play store but the version of TBO is still the best for me. And no, i can surely much wait for TBO to update the play store, i just want to ask some of you guys if you're experiencing the same problem as mine. :)
Well, now that i know that some of you experience it while some are not, that's enough info for me. Thanks guys. ;)

And to TBO, happy holidays again. :cool::thumbup:

The Play Store updates are "rolling". Not everybody will get it at the same time. And, no, auto-update does not affect it. One would probably have to deny whichever app downloads it from accessing the internet or push notifications (the Play Store? ... GSF?) which would cause a host of other problems.

    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
