[Q] Android - Black Backgroun - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a black back background, calls, sms settings etc. I have seen people suggesting XML changes, but i really dont understand how to star that.
Is there anyway i can change this ?

Are you saying your wallpaper is missing?
If so, did you happen to set a very large image as your background?
Otherwise, disregard.

Black background
This is the black background i need to change

Maybe you can say a little more details? Your phone, ROM etc? what does it mean black, black background? Where, in whitch situation?

I`m sorry , i forgot to add the details.
Samsung Galaxy i9100, recently rooted and moved from Gingerbread to ICS. SO, iam now trying to customise one by one.
Some of the problems I face is, when the pop-up comes the background colour and the font colour is the same, and both black !
When i type an email, iam unable to do a copy, paste, selection of text etc., has anyone come across these ?

You need to decompile the apk and edit the XML files.

I was actually looking for this a while ago too, but every xml editor on my computer is no longer working for some reason. So I got frustrated and gave up the search \-:

[Q] Questions about better camera, system colors etc.

Hello there, noob here
I'm getting confused with all the info about the SGII out there, so I wonder:
1) I've got the Lightning ROM installed and it says there in the desc "better camera", is this a different hack from the one Potatoman released here? And if it is, can I savely install the 192kbps audio hack with that ROM and do I lose the camera improvements that came with that ROM?
2) Is there a way to invert the system colours easily, like have dark text on white background instead of the bright text on black background thingy?
I mean not just for themes (e.g. homescreens etc) but for the system menus etc, so it'll have a coherent, seemless look? I did stumble upon the "Change colours" tutorial here but it seems rather tricky and I'm scared to fiddle with the system files on my own :/
Or is there -perhaps- some ROM out there that includes such already?
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the white text on black bg is bad per se but I find it easier on the eyes if it's the other way round (like it's on the iPhone *cough*)
Cheers!

Changing Email Background

Hi all, when using stock email application and viewing the list of emails, it is black on white text. I'd like to reverse it to white on black text. Anyone have any idea how to do that?
My phone is rooted if that makes a difference.
hi can anyone help w/ this?
I'd really like to know this as well. I saw that you can change the background color for messaging and the GMail background is white but can you do the same thing for the stock email client?

I'm wondering the same thing. I know for a fact that it started off White background/Black text. But since rooting the device, this color scheme has reversed. I'd like to get it back.

I had this same problem just yesterday. My S3 email app has always been white background with black text until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom a few days ago, my email app was then black background with white text, very aggravating.
There are a few things you can do first that many suggest but for me these did absolutely nothing. This was to first see if there were any settings in the email app itself (which there isn't), then to try inverting your colors somewhere in your android settings (not a solution obviousely), and last was unchecking the option under power saving mode settings that allows the phone to change background color to save battery which actually worked for some, but not for me.
:good: I did fixed the problem however and I think this may help those who tried everthing else above. The problem is simple and lies in a short CSC line of code.
If your phone is rooted and have superuser you can use a program like "ES File Explorer" with superuser permission to browse the files on your phone. Simply navagate to the root of your phone then go to "system" folder, then to "csc" folder, then open the "feature.xml" file using a text editor with superuser access. (ROOT/SYSTEM/CSC/feature.xml)
Down close to the bottom of text in the "feature.xml" file you will see this:
<!-- Email -->
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>false
</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
If this is the case you found out why your email app is black. Simply change the text "false" to "true". Save the file, and your done.
I actually closed my email app, cleared cache, cleared data, then I edited the text and saved. So I would recomend doing that first but you would have to re enter your email account info so it may work without clearing the data of your email app.
Hope this helps those who tried other means like changing settings.

[Q] Suggestion Background in LatinIME?

Hey,
I want to theme the Stock android keyboard (4.0 and 4.1 which is.. at least of the theming and images and colors and so on.. the same).
I ahve done everything but one thing.
I want to make it completely black and i have succeeded so far.
But i cant find the file that gives the color for the background of the suggestion field (where the suggested words are shown in). That field is still grey....
Does anyone know, in which file that color is given?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
// NEVERMIND... found it.. it´s just another 9.png ...

Wont do me any good. I cant decompile it as I am missing the framework dependencies to decompile it. I would start looking in the layout folder for the list layout xml. Then go from there. Is this a TW rom, AOSP, Ect. Those things matter as the mms apk is very different depending on device.
