I finally got some time to port BWC to v4.5.596; it was more extensive this time, a lot more apks were inverted this time. Apks like Social Messaging, Stock Texting, File Manager, Email, Universal Inbox, etc.

It's been working good so far with no issues that I have noticed. If you guys catch anything that I missed, please let me know so I can get on it and correct it; there are a couple of issues that might not be caught by you guys, but I know where they are, and I will fix them in the coming days.

You guys know the usual disclaimers about "you" being responsible for your own phone, etc.

MUST READ before installing:

1. Make sure you are deodexed before installing, otherwise you will be in "force close heaven" :p

2. Check to see if your Market has been updated to v2.3.6. Go to Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage applications, select the "All" tab and scroll to the market. Select "Market", and if it shows you are on v2.3.6, uninstall the update before proceeding to install the theme, otherwise your market will force close and will only be fixed by flashing your backup.

You might want to freeze/rename your MarketUpdater.apk so your Market won't update after uninstalling the update, or so it won't update your newly installed themed Market later on when a Market update is released, unless you want it to update :D

Whenever you have issues like boot loopingthis, or FC, etc., apply the deodexer through CWR, reboot, wait 3-5 minutes to boot into OS, then apply the theme......this applies for any theme.

Get back into CWR by doing battery pulls until you boot into CWR.

Market
(by me):
Has the latest market v2.3.6, themed Black Market.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Settings Menu and Stock Dialer and many more
(by me):
Have been inverted to black, no longer the light colored background.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AppWidgetPicker:
Included to clean-up/group your widgets menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TV/CRT Animation:

This theme has the mod :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Throttle:
Removed data throttle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dialer One (modded to match BWC):
It comes with the most recent v1.3.3.

Pandora v1.5.8 (modded for BWC)

Note:
When you first install BWC Dialer One it will not match the BWC theme, it will be a gray color. To make it match the BWC theme, do the following:

When in the app, go to Menu>Settings>General settings>Application theme and select the "Black" option, and that will do it :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dock Icons:
If you want the dock icons I am using, search "Tallmin icons" on Google and you will find them very easily.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BWC folder installed on SD Card has:

- "Addon" folder that contains addons such as, BWC Dialer One, Modded Pandora.
- Dock backgrounds for Replacement Home apps and some wallpapers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** Expect a long boot up after applying (3-5 mins) **

Your awesome as always :)
Please know that WE do so appreciate your efforts in doing this !!!!

Going to give this a try later today when i get up my courage (lol).

I have P3's deodexed/rooted 596 zip downloaded and your new 596 BWC zip downloaded. As i read things, i just flash P3's over 595 and then flash your theme over that? No wiping involved? BTW...........i will make my backup :)
