[Q] Galaxy S3 phone icon pink - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My "phone" icon changed from the usual Green with the phone in it, to a Pink icon with a phone and one arrow pointing up and another pointing down.
This happened by itself accompanied by a 1 missed call notification that wouldn't go away (no voicemail, call logs, msgs, etc)...
I did a factory reset and the notification went away but the icon came back pink, I haven't rooted it, installed dialers, nor anything beyond installing market apps.
Have any of you seen this happen, and does anyone know of any fix?
Thanks for your help!

So I'm alone in this?
does anyone know at least how to change it to the stock green icon?

lol, that your theme

I didn't change the theme, no Go Theme or any other, it changed when I got a missed call, and didn't change back.
Originally it did come with the Green icon, I assumed that a factory reset would have fixed it, but it didn't...

How do you explain all the other themed icons? Like messaging and contacts ? Those aren't stock touchwiz either

Honestly it came like that from my provider, Telcel from Mexico. And as I mentioned I did a factory reset and the icon still came back pink (which was the usual green when I first got it).
I didn't willingly or knowingly change my theme nor parts of the theme

it is phone company's theme.
wow that's lovely pink.
:fingers-crossed:

yeah, i think its iTelcel's theme as well. if you look at the iTelcel icon it matches the icon for the phone, messages, music, contacts and internet as well. I think the theme wasn't properly applied when you first got it?

Mod Requests/Ideas...

I'm looking to start a new metamorph project this week. So, I figured I'd ask the community if anyone had any requests of how they want their phone modded? If you have any ideas or requests of framework modifications (satus bar, status bar icons, battery, notification pulldown items settings menu, ex.), just let me know here or shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
I have posted this before but as far as I can tell no one has done it for eclair. I would like a set of black apps. I have the modded black dialer and would like someone to either create or help me create a black version of twitter, gmail and gtalk.
Black meaning the main screen are all black (aka no power used) with maybe a whitish text and grey highlight bar. I know this can be done as I have found it for froyo, I am just not ready to move to froyo yet as my bionix rom is nearly perfect.

I have yet to modify an app, but I will definitely give it a try. It must be easier then modding the framework anyway. Do you have any screenshots of the froyo version? Or better yet, a link to download the apps for froyo?
I am by no means trying to steal anyone elses hard work I have seen the black apps in froyo rom called 928BlackDroidGlass there is also a market and twitter addon. I have tried to re-create these apps in eclair by doing a file by file compare of a standard froyo version and this version then using the diff files making the same changes in the froyo version. I have so far failed miserably. There are about 10 xml files just for gtalk alone that need color changes it seems. It would seem almost all the changes are to the background color or text color. I know I am close but just cant get it working and just dont have enough time to re-trace and find my error. If you like when I am home I can send you the filenames and locations that I suspect are the xml files that need to be changed for the gtalk app.
I took a look and think I know which files your talking about, but definitely send me what you got and maybe we can get it working.
Honestly I just want a plain touchwiz stock battery mod like how it should be. I started working on it but haven't picked it back up. I just want the stock color blue no percentage and it be accurate and compatiable with JI6.

This is what I believe are all the files needed for GTALK
*** Layout
chat_screen.xml

custom_title.xml
group_chat_approval.xml
picture_view.xml
search_results.xml
set_status.xml
*** Values

*** Drawable
chat_item_background.xml
In each there are settings for background of test color. It appears if we reverse the colors on them we may get the desired effect but I cant get it to work. Color codes appear to be FF000000 and FFFFFFFF
Any help yuo can provide would be much appreciated. Would also love to do this for other apps as I mentioned previously but have not had time to do a file compare on anything else.
P.S. Remind me to send you my twframework and framework files, a combination of mods based on bioni and black mesh with notification icons by s0niqu3 (her skills are unparalleled) and the accurate segmented battery mod (green as dont like the blue).

[Theme] BNB For Eclipse 0.4

To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I themed the Phone and I started on the other 2 but, then, I saw someone else already did pretty much the same thing. So, I just used that. No need to waste time. That would be bouchigo. You can find him on rootzwiki. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it.
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located here.... No.. over there ----> ok its actually back there <------
If you see any issues or think of anything else to add let me know.
Here's whats included
framework
SystemUI
Calculator
Camera
Contacts
Dialer
Phone
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (updated from 2.2 to be darker)
Settings (Inverted)
GTalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Some of these apps will be called dark or black in the app drawer. Example: Facebook = Dark Facebook

haha.. posted this in 3 forums... glad someone finally got it!
Yeah its exactly the thing I did in math class...every year...
Anyways, what are the chances we could just install the apps individually? I'm really only interested in the blacked out gmail.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
just open up the theme in 7zip and delete what you dont want.
No stone unturned... we had to do some smali edits on gmail to get it to work. looks good though. now i realize that is the screenshot that is missing.
I just extracted the apk and used root explorer to push it into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted, and voila!

As long as it works and you like it, I dont care how you got it on your phone...lol
Good stuff man. I noticed a few small things that I thought I would share, nothing deal breaking or anything like that.
1.) I noticed when you're in the middle of unlocking the phone theres like a slight white bar in the unlock tab, this doesn't occur when you switch between silent and audible mode.
2.) When you're in a call and say if you're on speaker and drag down the notifications the call information is pretty hard to see maybe a lighter shade of black?
3.) Some of the press colors are still orange/blue.
4.) When downloading from a browser the status bar is blue opposed to red and you can't read what you're downloading (b on b issue).
Still one slick theme regardless! Thanks!
Very nice work xkape. Appreciate the quick turnaround for 0.4.
I noticed there is something unthemed in the blacked out gmail. When in your inbox an you check an email and click on the "labels" button that interface is not blacked out, it is black type on a white bg. When you scroll on this screen the entire screen blacks out and you cannot read your labels. Not a deal breaker by any means but I am just throwing it out there.
Sounds like the colorchachehint is ok (thats what makes it black when you scroll) but the bg and text need to be switched. I'll take a look at that.

1) Should be an easy fix
2) Just saw that. I tested to see if it was in frame or phone and im pretty sure I just missed it in the framework. I'll find it.
3) Theres just so many of the damn things. Hard to get em all.
4) Never used the stock browser before. I use Dolphin HD. So, this one probably won't get fixed.
I'm adding one... in the phone when you are looking at a specific number in recent. if you click on it for "call details" that screen needs fixed. I think Im also going to darken the text of the unselected tabs. I thought the grey I chose was darker than that.
And by the way.. thank you both for pointing those out to me. I can't fix the theme and make it better if I don't know it needs to be.
I use boat browser mini.
I did some investigationg into the ongoing black on black issue in the status bar. Each app sets that seperately. The only way to fix that would be to either a) make the whole things white again with black text or b) edit each app that points at a black color instead of a white one for text. I will edit it for phone app and for dolphin.
Nice theme, I haven't found anything I don't like. The boot animation is sweet too.
I've never been a fan of just black and white themes, but this looks very tasteful. I'll give this a shot after flashing Eclipse .4 later!
triton, I never was either. In fact, I had never even used BNB. But, I came to feel that colorized themes just didnt work for me anymore. So I decided Id use BNB and edit up to the X2.
Although, I must admit, I am a sucker for those neon themes in Blue or Red.

Eh, the neon themes are ok, but I'm picky about what themes I have on my device. This one you made looks great though!
neon image i just made right quick.
I was thinking this could take the place of the buttons.. for example.
thanks triton!
I've got a list from peoples feedback of a few imperfections here and there. I'll be fixing those real soon as well.
I ran into an issue with the app shortcuts on my home screen not moving to delete. They were frozen. I could add them to the homepage but couldn't delete. I flashed eclipse.4 and everything is working correctly now. I did install that speedy zip yesterday. Not sure if that was the issue or not. Would that be launcher issue or something in the theme zip?

Dark Notification Text

A little thing but annoys me... When i get a notification from CNN for example the text is black and you cannot read it in the notification center... Is there a way to change the text color?
The system has global light and dark colors. If the app writer forces a specific color, like black, it can cause problems like that. If the app writer refers back to system colors, they will automatically present in a readable format. Unfortunately, in this case, its a poorly written app reference forcing black text, and your only choice to be able yo read it is to try a theme with a light color background in the notification shade. Serendipity 8 has a white background in there, so that would make it readable.
Long story short, no, you cannot change the text color.

That's an issues with the theming of certain roms. installing a third party launcher such as go launcher EX or one of the others may help.

I don't think so. I have the stock ROM w/ root. It's an issue with the stock firmware

Droid Razr and GO SMS?

Anyone else using GO SMS with the Razr? If so the theme you have selected for the app, is your background being cut off below your list of text messages? I have tried several themes and compared side by side with my old Galaxy S phone and can not for the life of me figure out why its doing it. Here are a couple of pictures showing it.
I am really liking GO better than Handcent, but the breaking of the theme although minor is still driving me crazy since its destroys the theme lol.
Thanks for anything! Looking forward to trying out some Roms in the future!
Just tried adding a custom background to check whether the same would happen, and no I didn't notice any oddity. Displays full screen as normal
Thats odd....I've got two brand new Razr's. Only thing I've done was to root them so I could restore other apps. Both of them do it as you can see in the pics. Guess I'll try clearing data and uninstalling and re-install and see what happens lol.
I've cleared all data related to GO SMS and uninstalled both it and the theme. Reinstalled and still it will not show a background on the message list within GO SMS. If you scroll left or right within GO SMS to the Application Center or the GO Chat screens the background is there.
Not sure what else to really do here....
Recent updates still haven't cleared this up. Anyone else have this issue on their razr's??
Seems odd I have two of them that are doing this. Its not a big deal, just kinda disappointing since I've purchased some themes that now don't display right.
When looking at the screen where it lists different text messages mine looks the same as yours, theme color on the people and grey under but it's full screen theme color when I click on individual txt conversations.

Well I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one then. I've tried to email the developer but emails seem to go unanswered. Not sure what is different from this phone and my old Galaxy S, but it looks fine on my old phone.
Must just be the Razr, I checked my wifes LG Revo and her screen is theme background all the way down.

Maybe after some new roms or ICS comes out this will be changed. Just wonder if its something with GO SMS or something with the Blur on the Razr.

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.
