Actually Im trying to change it to become like the theme in the link I posted in the OP. That theme wasnt made for my rom (stock) so I'm trying to accomodate myself. Ive used apk manager and ninjamorph too but this one is weird. Everytime I push to system/app it either disappears or the stock green one shows up. I finally got it changed a little but its the older version (idk how it became the older version considering I used the newer version and changed png) and its still mostly green. Is there another apk I must change? Thanks for the help!
Did you try going under settings, manage applications, market...and uninstalling updates...that fixed my vending.apk problems

the newest Market is 2.3.3 make sure thats the one your working with...
From reading a few other themed ROM sections, lots of people with themed ROMS are seeing their themed market apk revert back you the green market.
One suggestion was deleting the market updater apk, clearing ur updates and cache in the themed market apk, and then re-pushing the themed market apk back to system/app.
This worked for me when I was using gingerRED.
Goodluck.

The version I have is 2.21 & how do I uninstall updates?
Here, this is 2.3.2 CWM flashable, neon blue market. It will not update and change back to green unless you want it to. I already skipped two updates and very happy since it didn't change. You might have to reboot a couple of times before it changes and if it doesn't wipe data for market and reboot.

Oh your not off the hook that easy, tell me how you did the market thing? I tried pushing every possible way and got stuck with an older version even though that version was never even used, extracted or saved anywhere phone or pc. You have to tell me!!!
Also that application/program doesnt contain the market app so....

Lol, I didn't make it, it was made already. I got it from someone few weeks back. not sure who made it but there is another thread for someone customizing market except I didn't see the neon blue one in there.

Ok I'm seriously doing something wrong because now Im trying to change my framework-res.apk and keep getting force closes. All I'm changing is .png not even .9.png. What am I doing wrong? Here are my stepsall using apk manager)
extract apk
change images as needed
optimize images
zip apk (using system option)
take apk and push to system/framework using various methods
the end
ps. all images exchanged are from roms or themes not supported by the stock rom. I get the images to go after Im done but also get hit by a million force closes.

I used Titanium pro donate version and froze the market updater. After that I used Root Explorer and copied the themed vendor apk and pasted it to system/app. Worked perfectly. I did have to reboot initially and it worked. Hope this helps.

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?
Hi everyone!
I hope someone here will have an asnwer for my question...
So , the question is, How can I know for sure, which Android version runs on my device, if I don't trust the information
provided in "build.prop" file.
Specifically, how can I be sure I have an ICS and not GB ?
Thank you in advance!

Furthermore if your running ICS for android version it should have a number ranging from 4-4.04.

What's your beef with build.prop? The only other way I know is to download a ROM of your choice, unzip it, Look in META-INF>com>android> and open up the metadata file and you should be able to see it in there. But, I suppose that could be fudged as well. Is someone launching some sort of Android conspiracy against you?

LOL .
OK I'll explain myself...
I have a chinese phone, which runs Android.
Manufacturer , releases new ROMs from time to time.
Last few ROMs, were "4.0.3", as it was written in "build.prop", but after installation,
I saw there is no Right to Left support, and for me , that is a sign, that the ROM isn't really 4.0.3,
as (AFAIK) 4.0.3 supports RTL out ofthe box...
Now, I still hope they will release real 4.0.X ROM some day, but till then, I don't want
to install every ROM they release. I want to identify whether ROM is 2.3.6 or 4.0.X before I Install it,
and not based on "build.prop".
So, I hope now you have full explanation, and will be able to help.
Thanks!

Though, the problem is to know ROM's Android version , before I install it on the device.
So it is not a solution to my problem...
Ah, and that phone has an iPhone look menus , so there is no way to perform that trick, unfortunately...

Download the rom open it with 7zip and go to system-SW_configuration.xml
Open it with notepad++ and check the firmware.
The same thing you can do it with root explorer in your phone.
I don't believe he changed all the xml's just to make users believe is an ICS rom
To check for ICS:
Look at the file's /system/bin .
If it contains a binary called sh it's Gingerbread .
If it contains a binary called mksh then it's ICS .

Just delete the com.htc.weather and the other things for weather that are all about the default "weather" for htc... And I cant find what Can i do... Can u help me ? (Sorry for my English..):good:
Thank u!
In future I highly recommend using Titanium Backup when deleting Android Apps from your phone or tablet because it's free and it gives you the ability to backup the App since once you delete it there is no chance of getting it back unless you can find the APK on the internet and with stock software that's very unlikely you could try contacting the manufacturer for the APK file but it's unlikely they will be able to give it to you so just use other weather software.
Which phone and which ROM do you use?
How did you delete the stuff? Usually these things should be protected.
