OK This is off the top of my head because I won't have NT for a good few hours anyway so I may as well type it now.

1. Open Ninja Morph app

2. Click New Project and navigate to /system/framework/ select framework-res.apk Ninja Morph will extract the file

3. On the new file/folder list that appears navigate to res/drawable-mdpi/ and find the file called bn_btn_radio_label_background.9.png (there are many with similar names, make sure you have the correct one) press and hold it which will pop up a menu which has edit on it (if it doesn't let me know and I'll explain another way you can do it).

4. Have a play with the sliders and / or the invert colour button to change the colour of the image. Anything will do really, mine is a sort of grey I think.

5. Press the menu button on the status bar and select save image (this is not the apply rotation/size button already on screen), you will be taken back to the file list.

6. Hit the back button till you get back to the main screen of the app where you can choose new / finish / exiting project buttons are. If you go to far and exit you can just start the app again and it will be on the correct screen.

7. Hit Finish Project and then select framework-resapk, it will say extracting again (think it supposed to say compressing), it will ask you to confirm action, click Yes. Then on the next Confirm actions select No to zip align. Then click OK again

8. It then asks if you wish to delete/cleanup project. Up to you if you delete or not, you can leave it there to continue editing later if you wish

Job done, reboot your NT and the menu should now have some kind of background on the labels that you mentioned to allwo you to work out what they say, Like I say it's not perfect (text out of position). But it is just good enough to be useable.

Hopefully that's step by step enough for you ;)

I can't remember where there's a black on black menus are to test check on now lol. Thinking about it I think I put mine as a sort of grey so that both black and white show up on them. Been using it so long now I forget what I've actually tweaked!

The menu gwreedak was mentioning in Titanium is a different type again. Hopefully the above explained to him how to fix it :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Definitely simple enough:) Just no success, when I do step 5 and select "save image" it doesn't take. Tried a couple of times and when I go back in after rebooting the settings are still the original and nothing has changed in Ti-Backup. Oh well - I can live with this for now. Thanks again ~ G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
You need to finish your project in "NinjaMorph". That re-packages the original with the changes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
When you click on finish project towards the end, I may have missed a yes / No section, basically you say yes to everything except I don't say yes to the bit about Zip align, I think you could say yes to that without it doing any harm but I just don't usually. I just tried it and it deffo works, I change 2012-01-26eh image to a pink one and it ended up with pink backgrounds. Stupid question, when you edit the image, do you see it actually change colour?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Did all the steps through to the end, except for zipalign. No I did NOT see any color changes on screen.

~ G

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Success!!! Had to move the alpha slider first, then when I moved the other sliders color changes appeared - yeah. You're right about the text out of position, but at least I can see it.

~ G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Excellent! glad it worked for you.

Yes it's not great but like you say, at least we can read it well enough for it to be useable!

Now stop playing with your nook and get back to work ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Celtic you made a mistake im checking the files and its btn_radio_label_background.9.png not bn_btn_radio_label_background.9.png, also can you post a screenshot to see what this does, i did the menu_background.9.png and so far no prob with the menus.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raye1010:
It has been succeeded by following the instructions!! THX!! :)

Just want to mention that it must be rooted and installed busybox. And the SD-Card must have some space (May be 50MB for NinjaMorph and some for extraction. NinjaMorph prompted but I did not read it :p ). I used the image file attached in the post followed this thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Celtic, can you email me your modified framework-res.apk file. There is a chance that I can turn it into a CWM flashable Zip to patch the white on white automatically. Thanks... (albertwertz at gmail dot com)

trying to get this to work. didnt initially. if I can get this to work I should be able to extract and make a simple patch from it..

I have tried this twice and using the beautiful widgets app as a test and still white on white there. What other apps are being tested?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kcpaynev1:
i have the menu problem solved with the snowball mod, right now im trying to figure out how to change the background or text color or something so i can read the settings in apps like beautiful widgets, the entire setting screen is white on white.

i have been through the apks and have not figured anything out yet. has anyone found a fix for this issue yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
HI Albert,

I'm already looking into building it into a flashable zip. Never made one before so I've only just worked out how to do it, I'm in work right now and won't be back home for about 8 hours but once home I intent to try and make the zip, I think I've worked it out but need to try it first, got ubuntu etc all installed ready for making a rom so needed to know how to make a zip anyway so this is a good practice run :)

IF I fail I will send it on to you to try with.

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

I decoded the framework file a month or so ago and there are a number of XML files in it which state the text colours, I didn't spend much time on it but I'm guessing that’s what needs changing more than images really, the XML's are binary coded so you can't just edit one unfortunately, you have to decode it first, edit it then re-encode it to put it back.

I didn't have much spare time so I didn't continue to look. I'm looking into the possibility of a CWM7 rom with others at the moment, the B&N rom is so heavily modified (and done in a bad way if you ask me) that it's possibly easier to just replace the lot and start again. Be worth it in the long while hopefully.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kcpaynev1:
yea i have pretty much accepted the fact im stuck with this and the other flaws until cm7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Albert, one of the white on white menu's I had issues w/ that this fixed was gmail, menu, more - - another was TiBack-up, menu, more.

~ G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Sorry for the delay on this everyone, I had to learn how to make CWM zips before I could build it. Then last night the wife was using the Nook so I couldn't test anything. Built and tested it now and works fine on mine.

It's a CWM (Clock Work Mod) Zip which can be insatleld via CWMs install from sdcard option. Just copy the archive to your SDcard, reboot into CWM and select install update from SDcard. Select the file and you're done. Reboot and you shodul have your menus fixed.

This modified framework has the 'more' menu updated to a sort of greyish background and also has the ceheck box background altered so you can read the labels on check boxes in such places as the batch backup in Titanium Backup

I take no responsibility for any damge caused and I woudl recommend taht you always take a nandroid back in CWM before making any modifications.

Tested and working on my own Nook so 'Should' be absolutely fine. Let me know how it goes for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edwardxi:
worked

great job!

worked for me,thx:p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Is the menumod.zip the only file needed to do this? Is it bootable? Sorry, noob here :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Land Master:
Menumod.zip works perfectly. Nice work and Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

It is flashed using CWM.

1. See Developers section for an APP by Indirect which allows you to install CWM

2. Place above referenced zip file on SD card

3. Reboot into CWM recovery

4. Use CWM recovery to install "install zip from SD Card"

5. Reboot

6. Fixed
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Thanks you. Worked like a charm. Appears it fixed all my white on white except the GO Launcher EX preference screen. Did it fix yours?

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
Same for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jlantzy:
How long should the "working" part take? I have been waiting for about 10 minutes now and still nothing! I have USB Debugging.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Seconds not minutes. Force quit the program and go and toggle USB debug on and off before trying again.

Either that or wait a few days and install our cyanogen mod 7 ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jlantzy:
OK great Thanks! Will that be in the market or will it be a manual install?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
It's a completely new operating system without the limitations of the B&N software. If you look in the android development section you will see a post about it ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jlantzy:
Got it to work thanks! Just 1 question, how do i change the go launcher pref menu, its still white on white?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
It only fixes some of the white on white issues. Better than nothing :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Just released a public version of CM7 for the nook tablet, far better than messing about with all the fixes and images then still not having a fully working tab.

Go look in the development section and it's there for download for everyone
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pissinguoff247:
1. Installed this zip with CWM

2. Read this post

D'oh!!!!!!!! My GO menus are still white.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nunspa:
I was hoping it would fix my menus in ExPDF..... it didn't :(

<sad panda>

I was looking to install CM7 but I'm a little worried about the current Video playback issues (though I hear they found a way around it and even made it run faster then stock B&N)

Has anyone made any progress on Interop-Unlock or a Custom Rom for CDMA HTCs, more specifically the HTC Arrive?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercain:
I've been searching

I've been searching for a long time now. I love my Arrive. I don't think anyone is trying to work on this. I've been searching for custom roms , interop unlock , advanced configuration. But nothing. I've found nothing. Almost every other device. Has this. Or has a way to get these. But I think the arrive is dead in the water.:(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IM0001:
The Verizon HTC Trophy is in the same boat. Blame the lack of CDMA interest and the fact that the only way to interop unlock an HTC device so far on mango, is to use the HTC Configuration app which is only relevant to GSM devices. That is why the Arrive and Trophy devices haven't been broken yet. There is a team working on a unlocked bootloader for the Arrive and possibly with it the trophy so once that is released, we can get custom roms and finally have full access to our phones.

It is funny to me, how back in the WM6.x days, the CDMA Sprint Touch Pro(2) was the king of hack devices for custom roms and whatnot, and sadly I think many of those people went to Android or other carriers. It is sad since the Arrive does carry some of the TP2's legacy, but I still think both carriers should start wanting more CDMA windows phones. A CDMA HD2 never came, how about a CDMA Titan? Tempting as heck but I am not jumping ship from sprint for a phone. :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercain:
you said it.

I agree with everything you said. I can't wait for custom roms for the Arrive. I miss my touch pro 2 it was so fun I still have it but now wp7 is in the spot light and I just want to hack the shi.... Out of it. But I'm stuck waiting for someone to unlock it. If I had the knowledge I would do it. And I know here in xda there has to be someone with that knowledge. That's why I'm waiting . Most of you senior members have that knowledge. And I know you guys will crack it. Thanks guys.:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucas.scott:
Well , CDMA Trophy (Verizon) is just fine , because it is a global device and has a bypass . It does make me worry about future devices that may not be global though .

I recently found out someone i know has the Arrive . Whenever i get a chance im going to tinker a bit with it to see if i can find any weird bugs to take advantage of like the Verizon bypass . I wouldnt EXPECT anything . It all lies in getting connection setup to run . Who knows .. maybe something can trick it ..everyone said Verizon would not work as well , and that turned out to be a simple solution .
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crew9chief:
All of us lowly Arrive users would love to have a solution to this. Especially since Sprint does not appear to want any more windows phones. At least till the fall that is.

I would be happy to help. I have a student dev-unlocked arrive running 8107.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Yeah all this because Microsoft got greedy and copied the iPhone. And they wonder why their sales suck. LOL, Microsoft just needs to admit they screwed up and give us back what Windows Moible use to be about, screw the iPhone.

Hello all.

I have just bought titanium backuo to be able to freeze the launcher that i do not use in the hopes of extending my battery life.

However furthur reading seems to tell me that many more things can be frozen. I dont know if there is an improvement, i dont even knoe if it actually is running.

But my point is i would like to create a list of apps that are freeze-able.

I have tw launcher frozen

Live wallpaper

Most of the bluetooth things

And my phone is still functioning well.

So please add on to my list of freeze-able apps. :)

-Buddies Now

- Email (coz I don't use it and it is always running in the background)

- Gallery (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)

- Maps (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)

- Market Updater (i hate the new market)

- Readers hub

- Social hub

- Yahoo finance

- Zinio

Root App Remover. It will mark apps that can't be removed/freezed with red text, so you can't accidentaly remove important apps like phone.apk, settings.apk etc.

If you freeze using Titanium Pro, then backup the "frozen" apps, you will have them available to "unfreeze" and restore. I suggest you freeze and then check all is OK before you uninstall them...

We have liberty, that's enough for me. Liberty was all I ran (I tried others but always went back) on my Droid X, with my thunderbolt I only ran BAMF roms. I would like to see more customizable options like power control widget in the notification pull down.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
Unfoetinitaly I agree. Having had the evo 4G and the thunderbolt, Dev for this phone seems dead.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
I disagree. Liberty was released just a few weeks ago, the the30ry dev has released two new ROMS, one of which was just updated yesterday, and eclipse will have a 5.7.893 update here soon. In addition, there are devs working to get ICS working on the bionic, and a CM7 project (although I don't know if that's in the works any longer as they have announced CM9 for January). I will say that few of these devs seem to be active on XDA any more, they're all on droidforums and rootzwiki. But they're out there.

It sounds more like the OP is abandoning the Bionic, not the devs.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dpw2atox:
I think this is just part of the "downtime" between releases. We have an OTA on the way that may or may not have additional compared to whats leaked so a lot of devs IMO are waiting for that OTA to come out and then will update their Roms accordingly.

In addition a lot of 3rd party Roms use CM as a base so until CM is finished being ported to the Bionic, this front will probably remain dead. Once we see CM7 done and CM9 starting, i think you'll start to see a bunch of new roms pop up.

I feel the same way about the Photon, but we are making progress too.

Have you guys been able to unlock your bootloaders without loosing LTE? If so, you are at an advantage, but how many of you have developers with this phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] darkrom:
There is a locked bootloader. The excellent devs have done most of what can be done without that being unlocked. They are not lazy, they just did so well that there is nothing to change until the bootloader is unlocked or motor/Verizon push ics.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] deedscreen:
I understand, I am going through the same thing with my Photon, on Sprint, the Now Network.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennydied23:
The devs definitely haven't given up, the Th3ory T3am is working on getting CM9 to boot and a couple of devs over at DF are going through the source code to see if they can unlock the bootloader right now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] _base2:
A locked BL isn't as big of a hindrance as people think ... really all it stops you from doing is running a custom kernel. You can still make custom roms and over/underclock. Sure it's not ideal bc you have to deal with 2nd init to run CM but otherwise there is still a lot of flexibility. Liberty, Th3ory and eclipse are perfect testaments to that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
it isn't as long as Motorola continues to create roms with kernals for the newest version of android and only as long as it is rootable. The min one of those two things stop happaning we will need kernel access to continue on
[Motorola Droid Bionic] _base2:
That's a good point. I would hope that at that point they would at least have the decency to unlock our BL... but who.knows. I'm holding out hope for project cheesecake ... yum I can smell the creamy goodness...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jntdroid:
The Razr came out, all hyped up, and now half of what you see on the forums is talking about how it's not that much different than the Bionic, and it clearly becomes a subjective issue, mainly based on form factor and pentile rgbw/lcd (bionic) vs pentile rgbg/samoled (razr).

The Gnex will likely be similar once it comes out and people realize that its not that much better either. It has pure ICS, but I bet we'll be seeing some of that by the time the Gnex is released anyway - at least some roms based on that source anyway.

Droid 4 is literally a Razr with a kb.

Rezound is great as well, but nothing tremendously better than these others.

My point is this... All of these new phones have something positive and something negative about them. I don't see any good reason why developers would stop supporting the bionic, as it is technically in the same league as all of these other phones. I don't think I'm being too much of an idealist ... at least that's my hope :)

Hello, yesterday i have flashed a KI3 firmware from intratech and CF-Rooted my unbranded Galaxy S2 (previously KF3 CF-ROOT) because it should be one of the best stock firmwares for the device.

Well... the WiFi is absolutely crap -- i can't get a full signal being in the same room of my router-- for instance now i am in a place where i previously had 3/4 of the signal and now the WiFi icon doesn't even show, the network signal is also worse.

No noticeable "smoothness" over previous version but now i have an annoying bug where i can see whatever i was doing before the lock screen pops up.

Battery is surprisingly lasting less (properly calibrated).

The benchmark scores are also worse (CF-Bench and Quadrant).

I have wiped cache, data and factory reset from recovery mode and the only thing i backed up was the WiFi passwords using Titanium. Battery saving is disabled.

Obviously this doesn't match with the hype seen around here about this fw, is there any special configuration required?
