OK found these new themed Android Markets Version 3.1.3 (newest version)
Didn't make this but though I would post a link! Thanks to who ever did theme these! Well, enjoy!!
http://www.apktop.com/android-market-3-1-3-with-7-themes.html
Current Version:3.1.3
Requires a Rooted Device size:3.2MB V3.1.3 update: Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More! New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games. Pin Number For Purchases And More! should work for all devices. You do need to enable Unknown Sources in Settings-> Applications.)
There is a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app per missions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There is also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up. Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google
Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device?
If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have and really, it makes a lot of sense. You can get the new Market .apk here, root access is not required. but you will need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Try using the flashable version. Sometimes there is a problem replacing the market provided with whatever rom you use. I usually have to use that method with my vibrant!

That worked perfectly.
What is it? Okay, well kenjesse put it best with this description : " Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app does not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.
To check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19570074
On the next page of this thread I have posted the patch zip necessary to install the pdroid app on CM7 for DX2 only!!! I will make patch zips for other roms upon request but it can be done easily by following kenjesse's instructions below. After flashing the zip just download and install pdroid from the play store ......viola! Thanks for stopping by and happy flashing!
Looks like a pretty cool program. I've read other post that reference making changes like this, always wondered how. Wonder if this is one way, I'd assume there are other ways too.

[APP] PDroid - The Better Privacy Protection [2012-03-13: Bugfixes in Patch 1.3]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just got done installing this and it seems to be working great. I'm running CM7 with no special tweaks other than Moon Shadows wifi fix, following instructions from op here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
this is what I did:
1. DL Pdroid Patcher zip to PC (Win7 in my case)
2. Extract Pdroid Patcher exe file and run
3. Browse to update-cm-7.2.0.-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (cm7 ROM) and select.
4. Click "Patch" (program takes about 2 minutes to create required patch zip file as well as restore file if you choose to uninstall Pdroid later)
5. copy the 2 created zip files (PDroid-v1.31-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip & PDroid-RESTORE-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip) to your external SD Card
6. Boot in our BSR BACKUP...BACKUP DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
7. Flash the PDroid zip file
8. I did not wipe anything as it is not stated to do so in the OP install instruction... I did flash cm7 reRecovery before I rebooted just to be safe.
9. Reboot your phone, go to market and install Pdroid.
I tested by removing several permissions for my Fox News app which doing thru cm7 causes the app to break, using PDroid the app still worked. Not sure how to test beyond that.
I did notice that the reboot stayed on the cm7 animation for a while before the phone came back up as if a dalvik wipe had been done.
Hope this helps and if you break it it's your fault not mine and remember...BACKUP
You are awesome! Thank you very much for giving this attention, I can't wait to follow the steps you've listed when I get home. Thanks again
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Quick update... there is a setting in the app to display anytime an app request access to private data. With this turned on it shows access being denied to my Fox News app and the app runs fine. This really is an awesome app.

He probably should update the op title. Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app dose not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.
I highly recommend it, for what that is worth. Check it out at:

Beautifully put. Hey, I would update the op title but it's not letting me from the mobile app. I will later when I'm on my laptop.
Hey, how did you spoof the permissions? Don't see that option within the settings. I just see symbols without descriptions (gear, bar graph, check, ect...)?
Just to add, I don't know if it's just in my head or not but I feel like my phone is moving way faster After changing all the permissions that I did.
........and last, I'm going to post the patch zip file for cm7 dx2 when I get home so all anyone needs to do is flash it and download pdroid from the market (Google play (stupid name)....whatever). Okay all done.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Settings options are:
Check = allow
Graph = random spoof
Gear= set the spoof value
Slashed Circle= block
And then there is a check box in the top right corner to enable notifications for just that app.

Okay, here are the zips. Just flash the first of the 2 zips in CM7 recovery and then install the Pdroid app. The second zip is just to restore. I'm not responsible if you break your phone...blah blah blah.....THIS IS ONLY FOR CM7DX2 (but if anyone wants I will make zips for any rom on dx2, just ask.)!

Thanks for the help Kenjesse!
So please help me clarify what setting should I set the apps to? Also do I need to do them one at a time or can I do it by batch?
Okay, what I have been doing is blocking ALL permissions for any given app and then trying to run it. I then look for any error messages and go back and enable only those specific permissions to allow the app to function properly. You'll get a system once you use it a bit. .....and unfortunately there is no batch function. It is a very cool app though once you play with it and definitely enable the function where you can see it blocking and granting permissions. It's pretty cool!
........and someone please tell me how to change the title of this post please

Flashing The update zip makes the required changes for the app Pdroid that you get from the market to run properly with the cm7 ROM. IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE ON CM7. If you later uninstall Pdroid you flash the restore zip to remove the changes made by the update zip.
I believe it is done this way so the app can work without root permission and therefore doesn't have to run in the background....I could be wrong though and as with any mod you should go to the linked thread above and research it for yourself.

You need the modified Google Wallet APK for it to work in CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810118
Use the APK from step 3.
Is it included in decks nightlies? I could not for the life of me get my phone to recognized the modified apk, was gonna try the zip and saw the new nightly, flashed that first and gw was installed and working

AFAIK it is included in the builds he posts on IRC, but not in the official nightlies.
Edit: To get CM10 to recognize the modified APK, do not install it. Instead, copy it to /system/app and /data/app. Be sure to change the ownership and permissions of those copies to match the other APKs in those directories. Do this with a file manager app such as Root explorer, as the /system/app directory will need to be remounted as read/write. Then reboot and it should be in your app drawer.
Lol did that and it didn't take, it happens. That's why I jumped to decks nightlies. I pushed rewrote permissions and erased dalvik and cache to be sure, even trued fix permissions and it just wouldn't take lol also it can't be installed normally anyway

Weird. I didn't have any issues getting the app installed, just got the "Adding card..." forever issue that some had. It finally added the card successfully after like the 10,000th time doing it lol.

Google wallet should not work.
Just got of IRC and found out from freeza that CM10 does not have NFC support, so Google wallet shouldn't be working at all.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

I'm just about to install myself and check it out. I loved using this on my ipod touch, and can now share the love with my android. It seems like a good alternative to Xposed!
Update: So far been running without a hiccup. I installed Cydia Substrate and Winterboard and they work flawlessly. UI/UX of the the apps can use some polishing, but so can every initial release!

So I am an Apple fanboy lol (Although I've always loved Android too, just always had iPhones). So you can imagine my excitement when Winterboard came to the play store.
After I downloaded both substrate and Winterboard, I tried activating one of my Icon themes. After I hit "Restart Zygote" the phone rebooted like normal, but once it was back on, all my apps were crashing. I couldn't open anything. Once I restarted my phone, I was stuck in a boot loop. Tried everything I could but ended up having to re-flash stock firmware through ODIN.
I have used Winterboard on almost every iPhone I've ever owned. I upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S4. I have about 4 years of jailbreaking under my belt and have never had this happen with Winterboard. I'm 99% certain it was not user error, but I'm not ruling out that possibility.
Point is, I won't be using Winterboard for quite a while. Just wanted to let people know this boot loop is a possibility.
Too each their own lol. I went to android for a reason

If, while using WinterBoard, you run into any problems (such as it crashes on boot, preventing your device from starting), please remember that Substrate has a safety feature built into it: you can hold your device's volume up button to temporarily disable Substrate so that WinterBoard is not loaded, and then your device boots correctly.

Yeah no that didn't work for me...the phone wasn't actually bootlooping, it just kept on booting into recovery mode.

Just installing the apps didn't do anything harmful, it was when I went into the Substrate app and installed the framework (or whatever it is) and that's when the recovery loop started.
So you installed the framework within the app itself and it worked fine for you??

In the description it says it allows you to use the themes from the play store without using custom launchers. It also says that it works with virtually all if them. To me, that implies that any one you download can be used.

In the description it says it allows you to use the themes from the play store without using custom launchers. It also says that it works with virtually all if them. To me, that implies that any one you download can be used.

So I am an Apple fanboy lol (Although I've always loved Android too, just always had iPhones). So you can imagine my excitement when Winterboard came to the play store.
After I downloaded both substrate and Winterboard, I tried activating one of my Icon themes. After I hit "Restart Zygote" the phone rebooted like normal, but once it was back on, all my apps were crashing. I couldn't open anything. Once I restarted my phone, I was stuck in a boot loop. Tried everything I could but ended up having to re-flash stock firmware through ODIN.
I have used Winterboard on almost every iPhone I've ever owned. I upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S4. I have about 4 years of jailbreaking under my belt and have never had this happen with Winterboard. I'm 99% certain it was not user error, but I'm not ruling out that possibility.
Point is, I won't be using Winterboard for quite a while. Just wanted to let people know this boot loop is a possibility.

I had the same experience. I had to Odin and start from scratch. Thank god for Titanium back up.
