[Theme] 928Droid "Black Glass" 2.2 for Simply Stunning v4.5 now available!

dave,
again great job. i jumped from bbv0.4 to ssv4.5 it was so easy with his bkapps/rsapps. i was getting antsy. took chevys un-themed rom and black glass over it. zero install problems. only thing i found is the mms black chev symbol cant read the text, black on black. i changed background per your instructions re-started mms, still the same problem.

Not sure I understand...can you post a screen cap?

thanks!

Could be an older version of that Modded Mms app.

Snag the one attached, rename from Mms.zip to Mms.apk (make the "case" is exact) and push to system/app make sure the Permissions are set correctly.

Let me know if it works OK..or not :-)

dave,

thanks, still unsure how to push with adb, still learning. however i took the mms.apk and installed from sd worked perfect! thanks again. not much at least that i can find searching the forums for adb how to.

cheers!

New Full Theme update zip with same corrections uploading, will be available in Main Thread in 5-10 minutes.

928Droid "Black Glass" Maps 4.4 and Twitter 1.0.2 Update/Patch File

OK for ALL 928Droid Black Glass Themes!

Download Link and Detail in Main Black Glass Thread Post #1

Note: If you already updated your Maps and Twitter apps via the Market (or elsewhere) you MUST uninstall them BEFORE applying this Patch/Update. This copies Maps.apk and Twitter.apk to the system/app folder (same location as all my Theme Update zips)
 
thanks!

IF you have Root Explorer you can just copy and move system apps (like mms) to system/app then set permissions 644 (see "Permissions 644" sticky Thread in Themes Forum).

My fear in the way you did it is that it probably installed it to data/app.. and this will cause problems with future Theme updates.

If you have Root Explorer, open it navigate to Data/app and look for Mms.apk, if it there Long press it, select Move, and go to system/app and paste it there replacing the original. (you probably have 2 versions now, the old one in system/app and the new one in data/app, not good). All my Themed apps need to go to system/app for continuity in future Theming/changes/upates.
 
Just flashed the update/patch. Fixed google latitude widget having a white background but i'm still getting black on black in some cases.

In latitude widget, the location under the person's name is in black text.

My notifications are still black text against the black status bar.

attached are screen shots...
 
Yes, Latitude Widget has been a pain in my.... still haven't gotten the Text on the widget right yet..hopefully soon I will get it better.

Have you flashed the latest/current version of 4.5 Black Glass?? I thought that was fixed. Please confirm, or at least try a new download and let me know. To be honest I haven't done much with 4.5 lately thinking 4.6 would be out anyday.

I am doing some updates on all versions adding some more enhancements, if 4.6 isn't out this week I will revisit 4.5 also.

OH..IMPORTANT.. If you reflash a fresh download of 4.5 you will need to flash the Maps/Twitter update again.

All the newer Theme update zips (after today) will have the new Maps and Twiiter in them, but haven't done that yet.

dave,
good greif. i guess i am not as smart as i thought. yes thats exactly what i did. works fine i get that updates would not take. i read sticky permissions 644. there is only a screen shot of what appears to be launcher.apk permissions set. there are no set instructions what the heck am i missing? i do not have root explorer. i have andexplorer. is that my problem? i was on the right track last night trying to move to system but would not allow copy. so installed from sd. once i figure this out maybe i can try my new icons i made!
thanx again for taking the time you have been a great help over the past weeks.

arrrgh.

oh, yeah i started with the post-patch version of 4.5 BG. honestly its not a big deal and i'll just wait for 4.6 :]. i don't want you to be supporting something that'll be end-of-life in a few days.

Very nice work on getting this put out, thank you much.
I don't know if possible, but can the NFL app be tweaked or something inside so the video works with the theme. The app needs the "verizon" on the main screen to use the video's. If its not there then video's don't work and says you are roaming.
I do the "fixpd" thing now to get it working.
