[Q] Help.... Need to change color of Background, cannot see font

Okay, I've just ported over a few themes to the ultimate droid 2.1.0 and in the transition, my menus font is white on a white backgroud. I cannot see the font unless I use the trackball and highlight it. Would anybody be willing to show me what files to change that or even better help me by changing them for me? I am not a themer by any means and am just looking for a little help thanks.

Nobody knows how to do this? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks

It's in the colors.xml I think .
It may be in values folder.
Once you decompile the
framework.apk
Not at a computer or I could give you a better idea.

I'm running the new Urban theme that was just updated for Ultimate droid 2.1.0....It happens on any program i run when i hit menu to bring up menu options, the font is white on a white backgroud.... Just need to change either the font to black by default or background to default

halfway there
Ok, I've extracted the framework-res file to my PC... I located the colors folder and now i'm in need of help on how to edit the file to make the font black instead of white... What program do i use to edit the file, and how do i repack the framework-res to insert back to the phone? Any help

menu_background.9.png and the image right next to it meed to be themes, they control the background when you hit soft menu button.

I would download 7zip and just swap out color xmls that you know are stock. Or just post a download link and I will fix it for you

Modified status bar icons

I found this pack titled iphonestatusbar.zip and it changes your status bar icons with ones that look more like an i phone.
Well i liked the look of Dark and Blue on silver so much i decided to extract my files from framework-res.apk / res / drawable-mdpi / and change a bunch more.
to make these work i pulled/copied my framework-res.apk from my phone.
replaced the existing icons with the modified ones
then pushed the framework-res.apk and reboot the phone.
it works great..

Interesting
Thanks for the info

Any tutorial for noobs?

Beatifoul theme, thanks for share it. But i have only one prkblem. It can' t start. I don' t know why but if i flash the zip from CWM it doesn't start. Any new boot or orange line or other things that this theme has.
I think that the problem starts from the old theme installed, that has the boot animation with two balls with bobble. Can you help me? Thanks so much.

[REQ] White ICS statusbar icons for CM9

Ok.. ive searched and bought like 2 themes... and still nothing is what i want!
i tried Black infinitum and Holo white... They do give me white icons yes... the theme "Black Infinitum" is the closest ive managed to find
what i want is: 100% original ICS icons in white... not some ugly % battery or another battery!(no offence..) but 100% stock, but in white..
so what im asking is...
Anyone know a theme wich is black/white instead of black/blue? i want it to be 100% the same icons, but in white..
SOLVED

Go for Photoshop & make them as you like & then : show & share!

don't u think ive allready tried that ? i am not that good at photoshop.. but i know the stuff that i need! but some of the pics are wierd.. so not easy ive seen the pack somewhere.. i know it! but im on CM9 so dunno.

Are you talking about the framework stat_sys icons?
If yes, I'll sort some out for you later tonight when I've finished up a couple of things.
Or
I can teach you how to use Photoshop to get your desired look.

i want this theme but with a white version of the stock ICS battery
he is using the stock icons in white, but the battery isn't stock... its a meter of some sort.. and i don't want that
instead of blue/black i want white/black...
hope u understood this

So you dont want white "stat_sys" icons you only want white "stat_sys_battery_" icons from the sdk 15?

well kinda i just want the stock ICS icons... but only in white and not blue if its possible to make a flashable zip it would be awesome, or if u could edit the black infinitum theme and PM me it because its donate.. so i guess sharing it here would be.. illegal (i got the donate version)

Thats what i said originally, you want the the stock framework icons from sdk 15(ICS) in white not blue.

i head UOT was bad:/ ppl were complaining about its quality.. or is this not true?

UOT is the most complete self help theming tool around.
People who complain are either idiots and cannot use it
or
Moaning bastards
Try it and decide for yourself.

EDIT: this is not correct, it worked.. but it gives me the wrong battery icon :/ i want stock ICS icon, not sense icon :/

You wont find stock ics battery icons in white.
There are too many incompatabilities when overlaying the icons with white, you would need to recreate them individually.
Just use the sense icons and rotate them 90' clock wise

(NO ROOT)Transparent/Coloured Status Bar on EMUI 3 and 3.1 Huawei Devices on Lollipop

Hey Everyone!
I've been using the Huawei P8 Lite for quite sometime now, with one particular pet peeve...
THE FREAKING STATUS BAR DOESN'T CHANGE COLORS ON MATERIAL APPS LIKE IT SHOULD!!
Hopefully when marshmallow and the next EMUI version are released for our Huawei phones, they will correct this.
But for Now, here's a working solution that will take less than 5 minutes
THE SOLUTION
Take an Image that you want as your wallpaper and put it in an image editor like Photoshop or GIMP (heres the link to the site, it's a good free editor https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ ). There are plenty of online editors to do the job too
Next, using your preferred editor, change the opacity of the image (I found that generally about 40%-50% is a good amount)
Now export/save this image as a .png Image file
Put the image on your phone, set it, and Reboot (Must reboot to clear the after image effect)
(It can be a pretty quick process!! )
Now rock your phone in Style!!!
Trouble Shooting
If you find the status bar is still not transparent enough in Apps, repeat the process but decrease the opacity while editing. It will make the image more transparent.
ALTERNATIVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LIL TIME TO SPARE
Follow hjthjthjt's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-how-to-lollipop-translucent-bars-t3232898
Though it doesn't work after rebooting, that's why I came up with this solution.
I wanna say thank you to hjthjthjt , their thread really helped. It actually inspired this alternative sollution. Thanks.
example images in the Attachments Bellow
Edited image, an unedited image, the wallpaper on my home screen
and Google Play Store to Show the Transparent/Translucent Bar.
If I helped you, Click the Thanks Button, I really appreciate it

Doesn't work for me. What theme are you using?
Edit: It works after a while and few repeats. Not sure why. Thanks though! It looks awesome!

Awesome!! I'm using the magazine ui theme, the launcher is nova launcher with the sunshine icon pack. I found it's important to restart the phone after applying the wallpaper. Gets it to work properly. I really hope they fix/change this in the future marshmallow updates. At least for now it works

It's transparent on my p8 lite.

Awesome!! @ItalianWolf are you using this method or another wallpaper/live wallpaper?

No method, i'm using the default emui theme (magazine if i remember), lockscreen and home background (i set different) are full hd images, loop screen on, home style standard.

There's another way to do this. You take your wallpaper, open it up on Photoshop or Gimp, apply a gradient on the top of the picture and make it transparent so it does not look ugly as hell. Then you apply it and reboot. That's what has been done for the EMIUI theme.
You can also use various live wallpapers.

P 8 Light works perfekt transparent. PHONE HAS BEEN ROOTED, i have FLASH THIS ZIP with "Flashify". TWRP_2.8.7.x_P8Lite_kirin_v2 Recovery.
Thanks

there is also a package for rooted phones which i have installed it but it makes most of other application ugly. (huawei application that use blurry title bar now are black and white and very ugly).
so don't try installing that. hope upgrading to android 6.0 fixes my phone.
(package name was: EMUI3.1TransucentBars)

TranslucentBar
I did flash this file (EMUI3.1TranslucentBars.zip) and P8L work perfekt. with Next Launcher 3D.

Alternative Way [tested]
Use this app called (material status bar lollipop) it's developed by {treydev}
sorry XDA won't let me post the link :crying::crying::crying:
Here U will not only have a transparent status bar also you will get a android 5.0 panel.
ps: i don't own this app and it's the first result on google play store.
