Well after years away from modding and skinning I decided to give it a go again.

Apps themed are Bluetooth, Movie, DVD, Music and Radio. Works on both 800x480 and 1024x600. I have already themed my own framework-res and settings so stay tuned for pretty much a full system theme. There is also a blue gloss version which should be ready tomorrow.

DOWNLOAD - HERE

To install:
Use Root Explorer or something similar.

Back up existing apk's that you are going to replace.

Copy new apps into system/apps

Then set permissions for each apk to 644

Reboot and hopefully you should be good to go.


A HUGE thanks to m4f1050 for testing before release.

This is a MUST if you have RED (and the Blue Gloss if you have BLUE) interior dash lighting!!! Definitely the BEST looking themed apps, including Settings and Framework (soon!)

Great job Goose247!

All I have done is change images, I haven't changed anything that would affect physical buttons.

All I can suggest is replace the original apk's and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, replace one of my themed apk's, just one then see if the problem occurs. If it doesn't then replace another apk with one of mine and check the button again and so on. If you discover which apk is causing the problem try wiping the cache and settings for that apk to see if it fixes the problem.

These themed apk's have all been tested with not problems at all by m4f1050 and he has a RK3188 1024x600 unit and tested by me and I have a RK3188 800x480 unit.

after two more days,now nav button also results in softbricking, guess some problem with the rom installation itself,
I tested out after installing rom , it worked fine, then I set up all my apps and other stuff now this happens:crying:
need to figure out a way last option being re-installing the rom

Put original apk's back to see if it fixes the problem.

Worked great on all but newest rom. ( march 16)

I can't seem to get mtcmusic to change to the red theme. It says app not installed when I try to do it manually.

Any idea's?

Tried installing as is, no luck.
Tried copying over to aps folder setting permissions and rebooting and no luck
All the other apk's did work. radio, bluetooth, video etc...

Thanks

Ok so rename the red theme apk(s) to whatever the new mtc music app is called, copy over to sys/aps, set permission, and reboot?

Maybe Malaysk has a new name for the default music app and i didn't notice earlier.
Ill give it a try.

Sometimes it will have a different number at the end of the filename, it might still be MTCMusic#.apk but haven't installed the new ROM yet so I am just guessing.

Just finished messing around with it and it was a mater of removing the original, renaming the red theme apk and putting it into the sys/app folder as mtcmusic4.apk
reboot and it works.
Also the others work as well.

Strangest thing but my icons on the left are not colored like yours, just white. Any idea why? Same thing w/ the blue skin.

Thanks
