Dark Blue Google Play Store Theme for Rooted Phones

What the mod did

The package replaced the standard store look with a dark theme in black and blue. Nothing about how the store worked was meant to change. Only the interface colours were different, which appealed to people who liked dark apps.

Which phones it targeted

• The Galaxy Nexus was the test device.
• Other Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phones were expected to work too.
• Owners of Gingerbread phones had a separate dark blue market made by another developer. It had not been updated and stayed on version 3.4.7 at the time.

Risks of flashing a modified store

Flashing a zip needs a rooted phone and a custom recovery. A bad flash can leave the phone unstable, and a modified store app can stop receiving normal updates. This page does not link to the file, so anyone curious should read the developer’s own discussion thread on the forum and make a full backup first.

Status today

These versions of the store and Android are long obsolete. The store is now called Google Play and has its own dark mode on current phones.
