As you may know that if you go into the "Themes" app in MIUI, go into "Online Theme", then select a theme, and scroll down you can install certain components by checking and unchecking orange check boxes. However on my phone the check marks are faded, they work, but when selected they don't disapear like they should. They just stay there... faded... Refer to the attatched image to see what I'm talking about... So how do I fix this? Do I reflash MIUI? And if I do reflash it, do I first have to return to stock? Grrrr... MIUI is so amazing! Yet at the same time has so many little glitches! +
Try downloading it
Then you can go to the edit theme

Oh, that did do the trick! However there is still a glitch. When selecting the faded checkmarks the # in the "Contains # Components" changes even though the theme has not been downloaded yet. That's why I thought something was wrong with the app. Still, thank-you!
I download the full theme of everything, then use the "Edit Theme Settings" to set each part up individually. I preference.

Which xml's must I edit and what code should I look for in order to change the dock background color? I tried reading the tuts on xda but they are somewhat unclear and mostly talk about the progress bar (bar attached to pulldown menu). Can someone help me? Once I figure out which files to change I believe I will be good!
Am I in the wrong section?
kinda need to know what launcher you are using... if you use launcherpro, just edit the .png to your liking, and assign dock background under custom in launcherpro settings...
if your on a rom without a market launcher you can use ninja morph. go to system/app/twframework once it opens it up go to res/drawable hdpi (V4) if you have that. then look for the files you want to change. long press the file and hit edit you can adjust the color and the transparencey. it will not save until you push menu/save image then go back to the main screen hit finish/twframework*******very important******** hit overwrite/ no to zipalign/ no to clean up. then reboot and your done.
with ninja morph you can change icon and icon colors along with transparency. congtratulations.
******BY THE WAY IF I DID NOT MENTION******** NANDROID BACK UP *********************************************************
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR STUFF BACKED UP YOU CAN EDIT AND CHANGE WHATEVER.
If you have a third party launcher the process is still the same. except the files are in data/app/ (whatever launcher your using) once you complete the work you finish project/no to overwrite
download signapktic fro, the market find the file in adroidthemes/workspace and select platform/ then sign it.
uninstall the original launcher and go to your files and install you work. i have done this with launcher pro and altered it to my liking because of the icons and docks.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!

ok thanks Im going to try to change twiz3.0.apk and see what that does first. Thanks!
What is this app called? I can't find it. I got settings.apk inverted but when I click on manage applications, its not inverted so it must be a different app.
no one knows? Im going to have to start decompiling apps 1 by 1 til i find it? lol
I Doubt Anyone Can Help With A Vague Question. I See Manage Applications, Theme, And Inverted. Can You Give More Information About What Your Seeking?
I am using the Droid X2 running Eclipse 2.2. I have themed the settings.apk file. All is well except when I click on "Manage Applications" from inside settings. This tells me that Manage Applications is a separate app than settings. It just shows up in the settings menu. Much like Angry Birds would show up in the App Drawer even though its not part of appdrawer.apk.. or whatever its called.
I am trying to find the file in system/app that controls "Manage Applications".
That there is about as specific as I can get.
Xkape, where did your inverted theme go? Since our recovery requires ac power I didnt want to chance an outage with Irene doing her thing.
I love dark themes and the inverted theme looked awesome. Hopefully you pulled it to tweak something, unless I am completely blind and I'm just missing it.
jeremy, i never posted it here. I did at Droidforums and at rootzwiki. But, now I am updating it to 0.4 since that came out today. Eclipse I mean.
I will post it here but I am waiting on something that hasn't happened yet. When it does, I'll post it.
I know what you want!!! I know what you want!!!!! You want to theme the application manager from the settings menu!!!! Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications right???!!!
you are RIGHT my friend!!! I see the xmls in the settings.apk but I dont see where there is anything to edit. I assumed it was another app but now I just think I am overlooking something.
Unfortunately I just figured out what you are talking about but know way too little about how to do what you want.... Sorry...
Bump...anyone figure this out yet? Im trying to change text colors in manage applications on eclipse .2.2 because its white text on white BG
Yeah I got it figured out. I didn't see the code in the xmls so.. I just made my own. Works fine. you need to add android:textColor="#ff000000" if you want the text black. Stick any code you want in there though.
What xml's did you use to change the text color for the app name? I have look over manage_applications and manage_applications_item and found nothing. In manage_applications you can change the text color from black to white but that is only for Application Storage and Internal Storage located at the bottom. In the running section everything turn out perfect but not in the downloaded, all and media area have black text.
Can someone tell me how I can make an APK so i can install fonts on my SGS2 and select them in the font app the came with the phone?
I do not want zips for flashing as I do not desire to change the system default font, but rather the option to add more choices.
I tried taking a look at some of the other font apks I have downloaded but have not been able to ascertain how they are made so that I can recreate.
I made a couple of own font .apks based on this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
First time will take a while till you finish it and get it to work, but once you get the hang of it, you make own flipfonts like a machinegun
And flipfonts are the ones that appear under Settting - Display - Screen Display - Fontstyle? so I can change them around without the "hack" of overwritting Droid Sans and having to reboot?
Because I have the Fontomizer SP app installed which also comes with a slew of fonts which are installed like any regular app and they show up in "Font Style" and I can swap around without ever having to reboot. And thats what I want to do to with "my own" font APK's as well.

Correctomundo, that's them
Using any launcher, when I have an App that has a "More" on the main menu, when I hit it I get another menu with grey text on a white background. It's almost unreadable. This happens with all Apps that have a "more" i.e. second menu. The main menu is fine.
Anyone else notice this or is it a problem unique to my system?
I have encountered this as well. Happened with go launcher settings.

I have the same problem. If you press down on the menu options you can see what it says then move away if you dont want to select it. I noticed it first on google maps.
Anyone have a fix or work-around for this issue? It's driving me nuts.
Can i see a screenshot?
It happens on a lot of different apps. Mostly when you press the more menu.
Picture of the menu when it opens and the other one is what it looks like when you press on a menu option.

The other problem I have is that the black status bar at the bottom sometimes covers up menu items.
same
my friend
same problem with me
I have a suspicion what the culprit of this may be, but I don't know enough to dare test the theory.
The menus affected by this looked to me to be .png images due to the gradients and drop shadows. I used root explorer to extract my framework-res.apk file from the system/app. I examined it on my PC by changing .apk to .zip and extracting the contents.
In res/drawable-mdpi there are what appear to me to be the UI .png files. It's fairly easy to ID most of the files the Nook interface is using.
The file I suspect causing white menus is: "menu_background.9.png"
Right next to it is a file called "list_selector_background_pressed.9.png" which looks to me like the same gradient file when you press the white menus.
I opened menu_background file in Photoshop and grayed out the white BG (saved it keeping the BG transparent) but I'm way too chicken to attempt to recreate the apk file and try and try to replace it in the system/app folder. Maybe a developer that really *knows* what they are doing could look into this? (Otherwise I would NOT mess with any of these files.)
Similar problem - in both Titanium Backup (when you pull up the filter menu) and when setting file permissions in Root Explorer, there's black text on a black background next to all the check boxes and radio buttons.

This sounds like a very real possibility. Hopefully someone who knows what they are doing will be able to help you out. I would absolutely love a fix for this issue. This is one of my few remaining frustrations with this device.

Same problem here with any number of different apps. I'm using Zeam.
I have a workaround of sorts. Press and hold in the white area to show the text on that line. If you want to choose that option, release. If it's not what you want, then slide your finger up or down and release.
Ain't elegant, but at least I can see the text and decide. Since most "more" menus only contain 3 or 4 items, it's not too difficult.
Hopefully someone will find a real patch for this issue soon.
I thought this was an issue with go launcher; good thing I read this thread and realized it was nook related. There is a app in the android market that makes go launcher menus have a dark background and that's a workaround for now.

I'll try to find it; a sec. I didn't install it and just saw it when browsing for themes last week sometime. I didn't realize at the time that the menus would bug me....
Here we go, actually an xda release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202800 I probably misremembered it as an android market app

I checked the same files on my DroidX, and the same files match the corresponding menus. (It has grey menu bgs and blue selection color, and sure enough, the same .png files match.) Also the popup dial that shows up in Titanium/Root Explorer and others is easily identified as well. (popup_full_dark.9.png and popup_top_dark.9.png)
I was right about not messing with system/framework/framework-res.apk (I wrongly listed it as system/app in my last post). Googling around, it can't be changed in place without creating a boot loop. I did find this script though:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easy-method-to-change-framework-res-apk/
However- modifying and re-zipping the framework-res.apk file has to be done correctly as well (IE: using 7z in 'store' mode) or it still will cause boot loops. Some insight in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225565
In other words: even though I *think* I know something, I'm still not going to try it. Also, I suspect it may be easier just to invert the text colors with modified settings rather than change the theme images.
For anyone with experience modding Android creating/changing themes, all of this should be child's play. For mere mortals, I'm not going near it. I can live with a few blanked out menus for now since the press/hold workaround works.

Both this and the previous thread with the GoLauncherEx with the dark background only fix the problem within the menu accessed from the desktop of golauncherex
It does not address any of the other white on white problems, unfortunately
Glad to find this thread, the white menus is the only problem I'm really having (apart from crashes on certain settings sections) causing any real issues now.
Once somebody can fix this te nook tablet will be great, as it standards it's now a real problem
Same problem with ADW Launcher EX "More" menu and the subsequent ADW Settings screen.
Rooting has made this B&N NT the sweetest tablet. A fix for this "white on white" or "black on black" would be most awesome. Wish I knew how.
Hello,
I've been using Zooper/Nova for a while and wanted to try making some themes with Themer. The problem is, how do I even get started? I understand the functionality of it and how you can download themes others have made and tweak/customize those. But, I just want a plan, blank set of screens to start with, like when I start up Nova for the first time. I don't want to have to apply someone else's theme and then delete everything just to start working on my own.
Am I totally missing how to do this? Is there a "blank" theme I can download or config file I can use to start out with?

Hi,
If you don't select a theme in the beginning, we give you a somewhat generic theme to start with. Yes it has icons and widgets, but we recommend once you have removed everything, save/export this blank theme for future use. To do that:
1. Remove all the icons/widgets.
2. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Export Theme.
3. Your theme will now be found in the My Themes section under Exported.

Hope this helps!
