What PNG file changes the background of the menu selection? When I hit the menu button on the home screen, or any apps, I get a white background w white font, n I didn't change any to that combo. Also, a few boxes are surrounded w a grainy blur, do I need to convert them or something?
The pgn's for the menu that pops up when you press the menu key on the phone are in framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
menu_background.9.apk
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_separator.9.png
If you want to change the background on that menu to black these should work. I ziped all three png's and attached them. The zip only has three png's in it. It is NOT flashable...

I'm not sure what you mean by charging menu.
Reboot Menu = the popup when you long press the power button?
My Setting app is white text on black, I think it has been in all the ROMs so I'm not sure what you need there.
Widgets menu = when you long press on the home screen?
The Browser operates the same after the changes, just when you hit the menu button you get the white text (hopefully on a darker background ;-) ), I think the menu thing is a global setting whenever you hit the menu button.
If I still not understanding you maybe you can post some screen shots?
Those are the same edits I made. I did get errors trying to recompile some different framework-res apks the one I had luck with is the one from Mioze7Ae's bugfix3metamorph patch. Once I got that to boot I used ZipThemer & a morph to chage everything else. I'll attach the framework-res I built in case you want to check it out just note that it has the white text but still has the light menu backgrounds so its very hard to read.

I need all that text to be white....
all night all i get are bootloops and frustrated!!!!!!!
I'm still trying but haven't had any luck yet either.
Got my S2 today and love it. But I have a few questions.
1. When I delete items on my home screen and don't add any I get this dumb message that stays on the home screen that I can't get rid off it say
"Press and hold this page to add content"
Well I don't want anything on their, so how do I get rid of that?
Thanks..
Never seen that .

open the folder and long press the name and an edit box will pop up
When I do that it just drags the folder to the home screen. Its a folder I created to put all the bloatware into. I want to name it bloatware, but all it says is folder 1.
Edit
Add Folder
Drag Folder to Page
Enter Name Box Opens
TYPE NAME
Yes
Close
= named folder .

I have a different question re the home screen - can you set screen 3 to be the default screen the phone goes to when you press the home button? Kinda makes more since being able to scroll a screen left or right.. starting at 1 means you can only go one direction..

I'm sorry, what?? What are you talking about? Your post is so incoherent it's frustrating. How does this have anything to do with what falcon26 was asking?
@falcon26: This is apparently another one of AT&T's "bright" ideas, and I agree, I hate looking at it. I wish those fuktards at AT&T would stop wiping their stinky, sh!tty codemonkey fingers all over my device. I can't wait to get my Otterbox commuter so I can cover up the stupid AT&T logo on the front.
Ranting aside, I don't think this message displays on blank pages of the international variant of the SGH-i9100 (someone correct me if I'm mistaken). I'm sure there is a way to remove it, but I'm not sure what that is. I would definitely appreciate it if someone would chime in and offer a permanent solution (i.e. what code/picture to remove from whatever .xml/launcher file/directory, etc.), but in the mean time, I have a band-aid that works around this and ultimately accomplishes the same thing.
1. Go to https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hk.sticky
2. Install Sticky Widget
3. Add Sticky Widget to the screen you want to remove the "Press and hold this page to add content" message from.
4. When you add the widget a preferences screen will pop-up. Set the background to "Transparent" and press "Set".
4. Presto! No more idiot message. Just be mindful of where you put the widget so you don't press it by accident.
@micks_address:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu button.
2. Press Edit. Thumbnails of all your homescreens will then appear in a matrix, with the "Remove" trashcan icon at the bottom.
3. Press the Menu button again.
4. Then press "Set as Home".
5. Press the thumbnail of the screen that you wish to become the default Home screen.
6. Press "Done"
7. Done

i got a problem that i need help with.
i wanna change the background and color text of 3 pop ups:-
1 - the popup background that appears when you press the left button on the home screen.
2 - the popup background that appears when you press the left botton while in the app draw.
3 - the popup that appears when you long press the power button.
now i think the files that i need to change are in framework-res.apk in a few of the .xmls that are in there.
but my problem is that i cant seem to find which ones to edit. thats if im even in the right ball park. can someone point me in the right direction please. thats if it can be done. im using a stock rom if that helps
Use metamorph on cm7

Hi! I've an answer for you!!
The popup you're talking about is called OptionsMenu. In framework-res.apk, under drawable mdpi/hdpi, there are two PNGs, named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png. The 1st one stands for the popups in setttings, and other apps. And the secon stands for launcherapp, etc. Change these PNGs with your's...................
Hope it helps........

Hello guys,
after seeing a couple of screen shots on the thread for the status bar with power functions incorporated i noticed that the user had text as icons on his shortcut bar on the bottom.
I wanna ask you guys, how is that possible? I felt in love with it and i cant seem to get it to work sadly
Best regards
You just create the text and drag & drop, Thats what I did, but choose to revert back and uninstall because the text is low res

What you mean revert and uninstall ?
Thank you in advance
Hi mate, I got your PM
Mine are not low res at all, very crisp and smart looking. All I did was this:
Long press on home screen - create shortcut - Simple Text
Select icon - Simple text icon
Select the style if it's already created or select a different one and modify it
Press Menu - Save icon
Select action - Pick the app you want
Press OK
Now you have the icon on your home screen just drag and drop it to the shortcut bar (be careful not to drop it in the bin, I did that a couple of times and it's really annoying!)
Thanks mate, i managed to get it working

write w.App ?
In the past on kitkat I used a build.prop edit to enable the nav keys on my note 3. It worked fine and I used rom toolbox's build.prop editor to do so. Now however I'm on lollipop and I'm rooted but I'm not sure if that will work.
The reason I'm asking here instead of just tying it out is because I don't have a backup to revert to and I've seen some conflicting answers while googling this. So an anyone confirm that adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" will still work?
-thank you
Make a back up of your build.prop.
Like this
Copy the build.prop and paste it in the same system folder and replace the name.
/system/build.proporiginal
Add what you need to and reboot... if it dont work you can use twrp file manager to delete the build.prop and rename the original.
Thank you. I'll uh try later. I found an alternative in the meanwhile that works great. But first I need to get a custom recovery.

Cool. Great to know. Do you have an screenshots?
With that string added to build.prop, it breaks screenshot (even palm motion). If they are important, I would find another way to take screenshots or wait for xposed.
I can tell you what the buttons look like and what they do, but that's it.
The first button is a backwards "Play" button and it is the same as "Back" but long pressing it does nothing.
The second looks like an "o" centered vertically and horizontally and is the "home" button. Long pressing brought up options for me of Google search, Tasker, or Pressy.
The third button looks like "Stop" from a music player and is the app switcher (recent apps). No long press.
The icons are white and the bar is black
I searched for a way to edit their function but couldn't find anything that didn't require xposed or Softkeyz app.
