[Q]Problem Theming Menu Popup - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm working on my own theme and having some difficulty. The text on the popup menu isn't showing up. I've already changed the text color to white, so its not an issue. It looks like the icons have been shifted down for some reason and the text isn't showing at all. Anyone have any idea why this would happen and how to fix it?
Here is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

And how exactly did you go about theming the text to white? We need to know what you did and that might explain why were seeing this behavior. First time i've seen this btw so no clue.
Did you do it this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8316984&postcount=2297 ?

Well, I was using another theme as a base (darkierawr's Nebula theme, since it has the lockscreen mod added in) and modifying all the images within. So I'm not sure how the original theme's text was edited. I myself haven't fully learned XML editing.

So all you did was swap out some images? maybe try putting back one or two until you figure out which one adversely changed the settings menu to its current state. Yeah not sure how the text just disappeared. Good luck let us know what you find out.

I tried just starting from scratch and doing everything over. No go. So it must be an issue with one of the pngs, like you are saying. I'm gonna try your suggestion later tonight when I get off work, heh.

That is in the styles xml in values. Scoll down and find widget ic menu I believe. Most text apperences are in that folder. You can change the value right there to any color you want. Make sure to do all your xml edits before you change any images in the res folder or it won't compile. Hope that helps and if you need more just ask.

The issue isn't the color at all, though. The base file I'm working off of already has white text. The text isn't displaying at all (its not black text, rather its not there at all).

I used the Simply Blue theme that is on the lockscreen mod thread. I just changed the images and it worked fine. It has the black menu as well.

Kiekan,
Check what's up with these files:
menu_background.9.png
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
maybe even menu_submenu_background.9.png
I believe those are the background images for that popup.

p3dr0maz is right. If you change the background color in those files to a lighter color the text should show. Otherwise the the transparency code in the styles.xml has been changed to make the text transparent which I highly doubt give what you've said so far.

Yeah it's just weird cause he's not editing any XML. He said he's just been switching images and from the looks fo the screenshot it's like the text is not even there. It's like gone lol. Weirdness.

Im telling you, I had the same issue. My solution was to use the framework from Simply Blue in the 6 lockscreen mod thread.

[Q] Themers Please help - Which xml in the dialer governs the text and shadow colors?

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm looking to edit the the number colors and their shadow colors on my numeric buttons, but, I don't know which xml it's in, and don't want to change out 5 one by one to test and see. If anyone knows that'd be great.
What I hate about this apk, is that the text and shadow color for the call button are made blatant in one of the xmls, and the text color for the call buttons is like where's waldo.
You mean like this?!?!?!?
literally just finished this mod. high xml mod count until found it. >.<
To complete this mod you use apktool to decompile HtcDialer.apk.
Once there, in the values folder, there will be a file called styles.xml.
Inside styles.xml on line 194 starts the settings for the dialer buttons.
Change the text color on line 196 from black (color_0_0_0) to white (color_255_255_255).
A bit further down on line 200 is the shadow color. Flip that from white to black. Or whatever if you want red highlight.
Before you finish, there is another set you have to change for the "zero" button. Line 218.
From here you can change the letters on the dialer buttons as well. I think you can take it from there.
Then just save the file, rebuild with apktool, drop your other pngs in there, and sign.
Clear dalvik cache, flash, and you are good to go!
Remember when I asked this? LOL so much trial and error but finally WIN!
I don't remember you asking or anything, but thanks.
Another question. After I recompile this to push it through, do I sign it?
Yes you will have to sign the apk. If you look in the built apk, it is missing the meta inf folder. In turn, missing certs.

Lol. You want me to spoon feed you everything?
I think the png is in the dialer apk. If not that then phone. Aren't you a themer/dev?
I'll be expecting part of your donations if you want to talk to me like that.

So, "spoon feeding" is giving an answer that isn't halfassed? As in, why even say it's a png (which is obvious, since it isn't text) if you're not going to say where it's at?
Thank you though. Found it a while ago (Thanks RIPTIDE9), and probably should've edited the post.
And sure, u can have all of my current donations (paypals a whoppin' $0 to ur account)
Anyways, I'm a themer, but this is also my first theme, and it's not even done yet, so, I'm learning as I go. Your help in this thread is awesome and really appreciated.
Now, here's a doozy:
What xml in the phone apk do I edit to govern how the dialer text colors are in THERE? Bc, it's the dialer pad buttons are still default colors during calls.
I don't know. Nice catch though. Gonna have to look into that.

[Q] CM7 Status Bar Transparency

Status bar, not notification pull down. I've already gotten the notification working, as it was just a standard png edit.
Anyway, is there anyone that can give an explanation on how I can get my status bar to be transparent? I've already gotten the proper image from system/app/SystemUI.apk. I edited it and saved it properly for transparency. Where I'm getting stuck is the whole draw 9 thing, since the image is a ".9.png" file. I've already opened the png in the draw 9 patch tool in the SDK, but I'm just totally stuck at this point.
I sort of understand the deal with drawing black lines on the right and the bottom for the content areas, then the two dots on the top and left for the stretchable areas. But after I save the file, I'm still seeing the drawn black lines in the image. Am I not doing something right? After I get that sorted, how do I go about resigning the apk to push it to my device?
You'll need to run Eclipse, this tutorial helped me with draw nines. Once you put them thru Eclipse, the lines will disappear. Then you can extract them from the unsigned apk like the video states, use 7zip to put the images back into your framework-res.apk or whatever without having to resign anything.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm editing the right file. I just did a test and made it completely red and it worked. But, for some reason transparency is not working at all, it just keeps appearing solid black.
I believe it's in services.jar if I'm not mistaken. Or so that's what I had heard. I haven't messed with it myself.

Yeah, I've tried about everything I can think of. If you get something put together, I might figure out how to put together a flashable zip of a transparent or semi-transparent status bar and pull down for stock CM7 theme.

The actual image is in SystemUI.apk. But it won't render transparent without an xml our services.jar hack. It's a pain in the ass. Also if you actually make it transparent you are going to have problems with text and image stacking when you pull down down notifications. I just replace the image in SystemUI.apk with a 480x38 top part of my wallpaper.

In ADW Launcher settings to go System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack, and the transparency will be enabled with regular wallpaper.

Pss..... I believe the image you want to make transparent is "dialer_tab_button_bg_normal.png" located in the dialer apk.
The blue line under it is in twframework-res.apk. Called tw_tab_ss_unselected.png I think. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Hope this helps you.

In what theme will you use this?? And will you post it here when you are finished??

Anyone know of a way to remove the contact picture and set the text to the left side of the screen. Check out the pic if you don't understand. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your mods. Could you please explain the process by which you removed the 'ic_contact_picture.png' from both the message list and the conversation frame. I searched through my decompiled mms.apk but couldn't find anything. Obviously it's in there somewhere. If it isn't to hard or time consuming, please let me know how to do it manually. I really like the color scheme I have currently and would like to keep it exactly the way it is, minus the contact pics.
Thank you again for your effort.

You need to make three edits. In order to maintain code dependencies across the app, i didn't actually remove the icon, i just made it 1px by 1px. This way, it's still invisible, but doesn't break support in other areas.
In
message_list_item_recv.xml
message_list_item_send.xml
conversation_list_item.xml
in the <RelativeLayout> view, look for the ID android:id="@id/avatar" (line 6 in the sent/recv, and line 4 in conversation xml)
You need to use the following attributes under each 'text' hiearchy:
Code:
android:layout_height="1px" android:layout_width="1px"
Once each of the three .xml files has these listed in the correct spots, recompile.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! I will try this right now. I'm not a coding noob, but it would have taken HOURS for me to figure this out.

I got it working perfectly, thanks again. Two quick questions though. I know you will be able to answer them.
1) How would I remove the borders around the sent and recieved messages? I included a screenshot.
EDIT: Damn, I have looked everywhere. I figured the easiest way to to do this would be to just change the color of the border to all black (#000000), but there are two different colored borders and I can't find anything referencing them in message_list_item_... or in colors.xml
2) When I push Mms.apk to system/app it does overwrite the previous apk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. What I had to do to install my modded apk was to replace the Mms.apk in the flashable zip I use as a theme. Specifically black exodus. I'm sure there is a way to just quickly replace the Mms.apk without flashing. How do you do it?
Once I remove the borders I will upload the apk. I wouldn't care if you posted it in your thread. You don't even need to give me credit since you basically did everything .
Thanks again for ALL your help.
Remove borders:
in message send/recv xmls
in line 6ish i think, look for position="left_upper" and change to "left_middle". same thing for "right_upper" to "right_middle" in the other one.
-edit: as far as pushing mms, i don't use a theme, and i've always pushed system apps through adb. In theory, it should still work even with a theme applied, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't.

After pushing the app, do i reboot wipe cache or something? it just doesn't show up. And about the borders, thanks I'm working on it now.

No it isn't necessary. For me, as soon as i push it through adb, it appears in the drawer and is ready to go. You might ask Nitroz as to why this isn't working with a theme overlay, since it's his theme.
Here's the APK. Thanks again for all your help, it is now themed perfectly!

[THEME] ICS Spash of Purple -uvlc8- 5-7-12

Purple theme i made. I take no credit for it except for the time it took to change the icon colors.Credit goes to phoenix6 for his Blue theme.
I actually made this for my self . Its not finished yet. This is my first time doing this kind of thing.
Works with T989 uvlc8: Flash in clockwork , wipe cache and fix permission also to be on the safe side.
Tested in clockwork touch .

A couple things....the circle at the bottom of the pull down is distorted like that because you did not modify the. .9 image correctly. Next, the orange on the dialer are pngs in the contacts apk. And the time and other font colors are coded in the xmls. The clock is in the systemui.apk. find a color code that you want. Decompile apk.... colors> values. Replace color codes

Dude that was from before the theme was out and the op was asking questions about where to find and how to change things like the clock color, and dialer buttons. The pull down was distorted and I mentioned it because I did it when I was first learning. I see where out of context that comment could look rude an out of line, but it really was just answering some questions

To do the pull down circle, just decompile the apk. Open with paint.net. use selector square to only modify the circle itself.
Then while decompiled go into the values> colors.XML and replace the color code for the clock with whichever hex code you want for the clock. ( color code picker website will do the trick)
After done with those steps, recompile. Answer the prompted questions yes and yes. Go to "keep" folder and delete resources file and the modified .9 image. Go back to apk manager and push enter. Boom done... and you can bow modify .9s and XML. Now the real fun starts

You're right I'm sorry, it is in the framework-res.apk. values>colors.XML> status bar clock text

The clock color code is in systemUI.apk
Res/values/styles.XML
Couple lines down looks like text appearance.statusbarclock. something something.
You edit the hex within that string to #ffXXXXXX the X's being the hex color code.
Not at a computer can't get the exact line name but its obvious when you're in there.
Theme looks good, don't give up on it.
