[Q] Which XML to edit to fix this?

Hi all,
I use a custom theme that is just a hodgepodge of things I liked from other themes, plus my own touches.
Recently I've noticed an issue where certain text boxes will appear with black text on a black background, making the text invisible. If I click in one of these boxes, the background will temporarily turn white and I'll be able to see the text, but it means clicking on each box that looks like this.
I'm experiencing the issue in multiple apps, but not all.
Here's the problem for a contact. Notice that the first name and phone number are not visible:
{
"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"
}
But it doesn't always present an issue. Here's GMail looking fine:
Can anyone tell me which XML entry (or entries) I need to update to fix this?
Thanks!

Your skills probably outreach my own but I think its in values/colors.xml in either com.htc.resouces or systemui. Should be one of them if its a shared value.

This might be tough to track down. What Rom are you using? Do you notice it more in third party or market apps as opposed to system apps?

Sorry - I didn't realize how little info I included in my original post
I'm using CM7 nightlies and this is a Theme Chooser theme. I don't notice any pattern between system apps and non-system apps, but I've switched back to an older version of my theme for now.
I've been able to narrow it down to a point in time... I have one working version "before" and one broken version "after." Now I just need to comb through them to figure out what I changed... then evaluate each change to see which one caused this.

Need some help making a nice looking screen

Ok Im pretty good a flashing roms, good at manuvering through the root of my phone. Ive been messing with probably every rom out for the EVO, but ive yet to figure out how some people make theyre screens look awsome. Im wanting to know if I post a screenshot from a thread on here if someone would walk me throught how to make it look like the supplied pic? Im more than willing to supply my Instant messenger addy Thanks

Theres alot of different ways to customize your homescreen and drawer,theres apps like ADW,Go,launcher pro and themes that are made for your specific rom,hence,my homescreen,courtesy of T-Mobiles theme chooser and Fancy widgets,i also moved a few icons from my drawer to my rosie and added world clock widget.Changed the font with system root tools.

That looks like a GO Launcher theme.Check out go launcher and the themes,you might find what your looking for. Go Launcher EX It has a bunch of themes.

All the information that you need is right on that screen.
And the rom us miui.

Yah, or ADW or LP with a custom DOCK, Desktop Widgets, for the widgets...

I am a Noob, but I found LCD Density on the Market, I run mine at 183 on the EVO with Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5. It tweaks your resolution. So no matter what you put on your screen, it makes it sharp.

Calendar force close issues

I have been experiencing this very strange issue. I keep getting Force close warnings pop up whenever I use my phone, I don't do anything in particular and it just pops up. I've started getting this error all the time ever since I got the 4.0.4 update a few weeks back. I don't know whether it is an app that causes it but I have no calendar app installed or anything I feel interferes with the calendar. I am attaching some screenshots of the problem I am seeing with some details on the error:

I would appreciate any help I can get on this. I am using the stock image from Google (unrooted) but bootloader unlocked. I've tried wiping the phone and starting fresh but to no avail. I've wiped cache, dalvik etc... but still same issue. I am on 4.0.4 (IMM76I).

I similarly experienced the same issue, I realized though for me it was my launcher pro app. I'm running a rooted GNex with 4.0.4 on the Gummy Rom. I fixed the problem by using another launcher, more specifically GO Launcher. I was trying to put my work calendar (Microsoft Exchange) and my google calendar in the same place (Launcher Pro gave me this capability with their calendar widget), but I was unable to use Launcher Pro anymore due to the fact that there was no development for it anymore. Anyway, if you try maybe switching launchers? I'm not really sure though.

Thanks for your input. I use the default stock ICS launcher. I have a feeling an application may be to blame but I can't think of anything that would interfere with my calendar. I'll have to try and remove one app at a time to find the trouble maker.

[Q] Installed Energy last night, seeing a weird problem

I installed Energy last night on my EVO. Anyway, as I was setting it up I found that the wallpapers were not displaying correctly. It happens on every screen that has that same type of 3D selection. Any ideas?

Have to switch it to grid mode. It's a bug in all sense 3.5 roms on the EVO 4g. There is a fix but it makes the rom unstable when you reboot

[Q] Facebook Contact Sync?
I just found another issue. In the older version of Sense it has "Facebook for Sense", but now it just uses the Facebook app itself. Well, since I have been on this rom, none of my Facebook contact's pictures have been syncing correctly. It shows that Facebook (and Google) are linked, but none of their pictures are showing up. The 3-4 people that have Google pictures work, however.
Anything special I need to do? I have already tried removing Facebook and readding, but it hasn't helped.

Hello!
I was trying to learn all the date functions, #DRd , #DRm' , et al. but I cant seem to find a solution for my very simple problem.
Im trying to count (and display) the number of days, hours, minutes that have passed since I did something (like shave or watch pr0n).
Im really frustrated, all I had were the built-ins (which seemed to always count to a future date and not up from a date). Title says it all. Cheers!

How about an sunrise sunset arc countdown bar.
Basically, I have a picture of the earth on my wallpaper and I want to see if a status bar can decline around half the globe from sun-up to sun-down. Like one would do with a battery percentage or a clock.
Thanks.

Not really that hard of a request (to you at least) but I really want this clock theme on Zooper since mClock doesnt work for me. Heres a pic and also the .xml from mClock not sure if its workable with Zooper. Thanks for your consideration.
