Hi,
This is due to a cleaning app on your phone (such as CleanMaster) that thinks the Zooper fonts folder is malware. A fix would be to delete the theme (or reinstall Themer), then add the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder onto the 'Whitelist' to prevent this problem reoccurring.
Hope this helps

Thank you so much, CleanMaster was causing the problem so I reinstalled themer and added themer to the whitelist.
Once again thanks

Gallery 3D.apk from x10i worked and black theme

yes it works you must have rooted your phone
i copied Gallery3D.apk from my x10i to my x10 mini pro on sdcard, with root eplorer copied into system/app ( sure you mount rw) and set permissions to 644 (user read-write,group read,others read)
and with adw launcher i put a shortcut on my screen
long press on screen, other short command, Select Activity, Activities, scroll to galerie and choose it, now you have a short cut for 3d gallery
download gallery3D.apk from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
better download GalleryFixedCamera.apk frome here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829571 thanks sanjay_bandaru
now you can launch the app fom app drawer on your homelauncher and you can launch camera directly
and look for a nice black theme, http://www.mobil-talk.de/android/6857-theme-mini-goes-black.html worked too, thanks to Bueffel
sry for bad english
I've been "reading" (I don't speak German) the black theme thread, but I don't know what files I have to download for my x10 mini (not pro) with android 2.1 (nordic firm).
Can anyone help me?
basically the last 2 added (which you could have imagined by name 2.0.xxxxx^^)
i think in order to change the most things framework does the job
to get fully black theme you'll need to change the apps as well.
change it as descrebed here in the forum section as any other theme as well
greets Mo
Great find on that black theme. Personally its better than the blue theme but just to black here and there for my liking. I find pulpoff and draco_ag's theme for the 1.6 (hopefully to be ported to 2.1) more pleaseing to the eye a tad greyer here and there. But i appreciate the work done

Ok, but how I know if this framework-res is for "mini" or for "mini pro" ? or doesn't matter?
IT doesnt matter. Both have the same.

@ abhi98228 hmm for me all worked, no problem with market.
@iphonepimp what working with default launcher? 3d Gallery? Check the GalleryFixedCamera.apk on my first post, it worked.
I like the gallery... but there is one bug with the detailsbutton... it's to big (the button on top if you choose a image).
I copy a smaler picture from the apk over the big detailbutton to fix this, but can't resign the apk correctly. I attached my apk (you have to remove the old app, then install the new apk) and the smaler image. perhaps someone can correctly resing the apk with the image.
Thanks for the new apk. works well.
This is nice thanks a lot!

White text on white menu

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
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.

This would be great since it would more easily allow you to select the correct version of your saved theme.

			
				
you mean preview to see where you are up to ? if you want a preview of the home screen,simply copy your wallpaper too your pc,rename it the same name as your theme,ie if theme is called new then rename the pic new,then copy it back over to my colortheme/exported/thumbs

You can also just rename it in your File Explorer if you have one installed. We are working on a way of improving this feature soon.

Hi kwest12,
Unfortunately not yet. The front end of Themer will always receive more attention than the editing side. I'll speak to the developers today about this and see how easy it would be to implement. I agree it does make things a lot easier, however the process to implement this can be very complicated.

Broken screen.... transfer modified theme help
I shattered my old phone's screen, so I cannot see anything from the phone. However, I can look at the SD card from my computer (the external is is my new phone). I would like to import a theme that I extensively modified on my old phone. I thought I had saved it/exported it... I guess I did not, as I see no files in the directory mentioned in previous posts.
From what I can see on my computer, it looks like the theme I worked on exists on the internal SD card. However, it is not neatly compiled in a .zip file. Is there a correct way to move these files over to my new phone so that I can use this theme without re-modifying everything?
Thank you!

When you export a file - it's saved in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder as a .zip file. All you need to do a place this file (don't extract it) into the same place on another phone. If that folder isn't there - export any theme in order for Themer to create the zip folder.

[Q] Themer - loses themes.

Good Day
Since version 1.64 I have noticed an increase of times where my themes are getting corrupted and I cannot recover what I had.
I have uninstalled , reinstalled Themer a number of times but it keeps happening -
They are not complex themes (5 or so Zooper Widgets, 2-3 Screens) and wondered if anyone else might be experiencing the same type of issues -
I love Themer and all it can do and would like to keep using it
Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this issue would be great
Thanks

Hi,
We're going to need some more info from you here:
1. Which themes are they? (user submitted or from the official gallery)
2. Have you saved these themes and now attempting to reapply them?
3. Did you add any widgets to these themes? If so, were they official Themer widgets?
4. What phone are you using?
Thanks

1. they would be a theme i am creating / have saved in the past.
2. yes- i save the themes and now try to reapply - either it crashes or it looses items off the theme and i have to rebuild the entire thing
3. either a Zooper Widget or Everything widget.
4. Samsung Galaxy 5 - stock
I've lost about 4-5 personal themes now so its a bit of a PITA.
Thanks for the reply.

Have you also tried:
- Uninstalling Themer
- removing the Exported folder (within the /sdcard/MyColorScreen folder) and placing it somewhere else.
- deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder
- reinstalling Themer and placing the Exported folder back into its original place.

Very slow font loading

Hello,
I used themer on CM11 for some months but the last month I had an 4.03 which isn't supported.
Yesterday I flashed CM12(android 5.02) and I started to use themer again. The problem is that in this latest version of themer when I try to change a font, the loadind of fonts is very slow and very often crash the app. Sometimes after 3-5 minutes I can see the list and choose a font, but this is very slow and I need to change fonts(to support my language) very often. I tried another app which loads a fonts list and it does it almost immediately, so doesn't seem to be device's or rom's problem.
Is there any faster way to change fonts of a theme? For e.g by editing an xml file or something?

Hi there,
Unfortunately Themer only works well when changing the fonts within Zooper. Everything else could lead to crashes. If you would like to change the fonts (for widgets only), placing new ones inside the /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts folder. If Themer is still crashing we recommend unistalling the app, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder then resinstalling Themer.
Hope this helps!
Marco
Sorry, I've misleading you. In fact, the problem is when trying to load the font list within Zooper. This is very slow and cause themer crashes, or hot reboot sometimes.

I didn' do anything special, and this happened in all themes with zooper I tried. For e.g I just tried on "Orange Glow" theme.
-open advanced menu
-choose unlock widgets
-tap and hold on a zooper widget
-select configure
-select widget disign(or something, I haven't english UI)
-choose a text element
-select text font element
at this last step I get the "loading" popup dialog for a long time. Sometimes after more than 2 minutes the font list is displayed, but usually themer crashes before that.
This time I tried on a saved version of the above theme and the font list displayed a lot faster. So seems that this happens with fresh downloaded themes, not the saved versions of them. It happens only one time(now) though.
EDIT:
I tested it one more time and it happens again. So the problem exists and with saved version of theme.
EDIT2:
I attached the log when I'm trying to change font(this time the font list appear after 2 minutes).

Hi,
Just to check, what device are you using? Also, what app are you referring to when you say that you tried loading another fonts list.
Thanks!
My device is an old Huawei Ideos X5, but with a custom CM12 rom. The app I used was a module app for xposed with name PerAppFonts. I haven't xposed installed though and I don't use this app/module, just use it to test how quick the font list loaded.
