Working on a gingerbread theme for DK28, not quite sure if i'll release it or not, but while dumping the pngs in and testing on my phone, I noticed the issue in the attached screenshot. The backgrounds for the icons when you hit menu from the homescreen are now black so the black text no longer shows up.
Anyone know where this text can be found in the framework xmls so I can edit it? Its the only issue I found and I poked around the xmls but couldnt find anything that jumped out at me, thanks for any help!
EDIT: correct png uploaded
bump - cmon guys, no help on this?
This is what I'll trying to figure out as well, its really pissing me off as its the only thing stopping me from releasing my rom. Im keeping an eye on this thread as well.

newest android SDK for the most part, i also pulled some things that were missing from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864819.
I think I'm ready to post it except for that text for the menu backgrounds, just gotta get permission for the things i stole, eh hem, borrowed also!
I was trying the same thing, try a menu smali file in the framework.

Sorry, I mean on our phones. Its probably a dumb question, I know. Its like the only one I can't find. I have changed every one of then, even some in apps but I can't find that one. What and where is the files. lol

oh right, well its gotta be in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi for sure, i changed out almost every icon in there, flashed it and voila, black menu backgrounds. so i dont know exactly what pngs were responsible. doing a quick search for menu though i get the following i put my money on the starred one:
menu_background.9.png
***menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_submenu_background.9.png
so what is a menu smali file? i'll search around but i've never done anything with one.
EDIT: sounds like smali might be a little out of my league, lol. but i think i may have found something, testing now before i reveal it. then just one more thing to fix and i think its ready to go!
okay well i found what to do for xml edits here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9664604&postcount=77
but i did them and it doesnt look like it took. i've asked the OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863860 for some advice and also on changing the notification text from white to dark as it doesnt look good on the lighter gray notification background in GB.
hopefully i'll have something up today or tomorrow, its looking great other than that!
looking good so far, even with a GB battery 1% mod! just 2 more little issues to fix!

Looks nice, damn...
I like those Icons!
i'm getting a vertical gray line in every contact icon with or withoit picture in contacts. they dont show up in recent calls or messages, only in people. so i'm guessing it has something to do with basic template for all contacts and perrmissions, because i think they appeared after "fixing" them.
i'm using rcmix 4.0, kernel 11.1 and honeyhd theme
any help would be geratly appreciated...
tried a fresh install, with format and wipe, still there...
so i guess i'll have to live with it?
Looks like a theme issue; have you asked whoever created that theme? I'm assuming you've tried without the theme to check that it works on the 'stock' RCMix install?
Edit: there's someone else with the same problem over in the Honey HD theme thread, so I guess that's probably going to be the place to look for assistance.
thanks, i wasnt sure what it is about, so i didnt post there.
still no answer though...

Are you running a custom theme? What rom? It does look like an issue with the layout or a .9 png
yes, rcmix 4.0 and honey hd. can you please be more specific where is this problem? i'm a complete noob when it coms to dev, but i'm willing to try. which apk to look at, and where? i managed to figure out it has something to do with the basic frame for contact picture in people, but then i got lost. is the problem in phone apk or framework?

That's the thing. That image is in 4 apks. Phone, dialer, contacts and com.HTC.resources.apk. you may need to decompile all of them and change each one to find the one that is causing the issue

Apk manager is the best place. There are themeing tuts all over.
thanks, i'll give it a try during the weekend
wierd stuff... my problem dissapeared in past few days. not sure when and what i did. one thing i am sure i did is removed setcpu and installed andrev oc daemon and daemon contoller, i messed with freq and vdd, i think thats it...
edit (beside typos):
and they're back. no clue why, not exactly sure when, all i did was reboot the phone a few times and somewhere in between the stripes were back...
I'm having that problem as well. same set up as you (except i'm on an inspire). were you ever able to locate the problem?
yes, it was the theme in my case
What did you do to fix it?

sorry for late reply...
i changed the theme... i just didnt have the will to leaern how to theme just to repair this
I've searched all over this place and the web, I cannot find a concrete solution that actually works, so like the title states, I need to know how to edit the text colors of the Mms.apk (more specifically for Juggs 5.0 and Warfare).
I've checked out several of the xmls inside of it and it's not doing the trick.
I am about 97% done or something to that effect, with my next theme and after I get this down it should be good to go for first release.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

You know I'm a theme king man, and the mms.apk is the most annoying app to mod, I tried everything myself. I think some things in the styles.XML redirects back to the twframework which then redirects back to the framework-res itself.
Poke around in layout/msg_list_item.XML
On the Galaxy S Vibrant I was able to add
"Android:textcolor=ffxxxxxx" or what ever in the

I appreciate that info M&S, unfortunately I actually already tried that one :/
I read somewhere it might refer back to framework-res styles somehow but not sure how to change that...

In Values>Colors theirs a way to change the color of the timestamp. Just change the hex code of the first line I think. Never tried it though xD

Nope...not it, that's the timestamp as in the time under the message text
M&S
The color is set in twframework-res.apk\res\values\colors.xml it's "tw_color002" The only problem is that this also controls the color to a handful of other things... Still trying to find what xml in the mms.apk calls on tw_color002.

hi,
your idea could look good. Theming is easy if u know how to decompile and recompile but its a lot of work editing every single image and 9.png. Probably u could learn it and find some dudes who can help u. i worked with a guy who learned it by himself and now he is doing his themes. His theme is the black infinitum(razor(x))...ask him if he can help u, he is good
Good luck
Edit
sorry didn#t saw ur last post with the white background What u need is to change the textcolor in the xmls. don´t know wich one =/ by the way if u didn´t decomiled the apk u have to do it to be able to edit xmls.
I havent had a play yet with ICS but if its still similar to GB you'll need to decompile and edit framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml.
This might help you:
http://www.anddev.org/tutorial_ui_themes-t4367.html
I was going to look at putting my own style into the framework and then re-directing to the theme by editing the manifest as described above but i never got around to it.
Hope this helps.

Your welcome.
xml editing isnt difficult at all, if the link i posted earlier does work then it would save a massive amount of time editing apk's to match your theme, instead you tell apk's to use your pre configured theme.
I might do a bit of testing next week when im in a relatively stable state.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has ever created a mod that would make the NAV Buttons change color constantly? Like a slowly shifting blend of colors. Kinda like when LED stripes shift colors. I have tried searching but either no one has or i suck at searching. Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen a similar mod and I am not sure if it is easy to be done because probably it requires constant changes to SystemUI and Framework while the device is running!
Still maybe a dev finds it possible and makes it
Of course it won't require constant changes the the code.. Please don't answer if you know nothing about programming.
It could can be done, and it won't require any huge changes, but it will require someone capable of and willing to do it.

I typed "probably" which means I am not sure about that but just my thought. I did not even talk about the code! I meant changes in the images which are of different colors. Still that was my "thought" and nothing more.
Anyway sorry if I have done something wrong. It is good that it won't require that constant changes and hopefully someone will be interested in this idea and do it
Hi
Is there any mod for normal color change like constant ?

At least its possible. Maybe someone will try it. If you are running AOKP you can change nav button color to any color you like. I am sure someone has made a mod for it. Thx for the responses.

I suggest that you make a "[REQUEST]" thread in the "Themes and Apps" section so the devs up there will read about your idea and hopefully one of them will be interested and have the time to do it
You deserve a Thanks for this idea actually
