How did you try it? Did you try to install?
All you need to do is move the apk to system/app and rename the original to .old or .bak . You do not install this like a regular app

All I did was try to flash with CWM. Didn't change anything; no Root Explorer/PC access.

[edit] I should have looked at the original thread. This is flashable through CWM.

Ahh. Um... what's adb? I'm still new to this....

And does it cost money? I'm tapped.... ;-;

dl root explorer...If you're gonna start playing with your phone it is one of the best tools you can have.

OP says you CAN flash via CWM, thats what original instructions say.

yup you are 100% correct..My apologies for giving the wrong instructions.

 

[Avelnan]

But it still doesnt work...I don't think the CWM method will work with our fascinates. =P

Really if you have a rooted phone you should have the android sdk/adb installed...too many in the root community don't....but really should

CWM flash method didn't work for me either. BUT! I did end up making it work.

1. I downloaded the colored market ZIP of my choice.
2. I extracted the Vending.apk from said ZIP file.
3. Opened System/Apps via Root Explorer and renamed my original Vending.apk to "Vending.apk.old"
4. Moved the newly extracted colored Vending.apk to System/Apps.

Worked like a charm. No reboot was needed.

Hope this helps!

Personal side note:

nitsuj17,

I used the blue/white marketplace listed at the beginning of the linked thread and it matches your BlueBread theme perfectly! Any chance of seeing these tweaks incorporated into your upcoming themes?

Exactly what I was tying to say..You however gave better instructions..Thank you

 

[orion421]

Thats kinda why I posted this. Was hoping the themers would incorporate this into their themes.

Its possible I would theme markets at some point....personally I avoided it so I wouldn't be accused of breaking market downloads.

I completely understand your reservations. I'm just (selfishly) anxious to see what you could do with this, if you ever did give it a shot.

Is Root Explorer useful to a casual root screwer like me? I do wanna get more into it, though, but still... four bucks, man.

I use root explorer multiple times a day..well worth it for me.
