[Epic 4G General] rangermateo:
I understand that the signal meter isn't an accurate portrayal of signal strength. What I know is that my epic won't hardly connect unless I'm in the same room as my router and my old hero (and my wife's evo) connect at distances over twice as far. So, ultimately my question comes down to is this a firmware issue or a hardware issue (ie do epics just have pos wifi chips) or just a my phone issue.

Hi, I am trying to edit the MEIZU theme that I think the OP made, the only thing I want is to change the background transparency from settings and many other windows to a flat black or if it can be done to a custom background, like some simple gradient.

I want to do this because there is some kind of choppy lag when I scroll the settings menu.

I modified <item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item> to <item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/black</item>

But I cannot compile it back.

Any help will do, thank you.
[Android Themes] camcory:
In values/styles.xml find Alert Dialog and change popups to dark instead of bright. That will give you all dark popups. Then follow OP #7 a,b,c to change text to your colors not sure of the secondary text colors though.

[Android Themes] m1keyb:
You're welcome. Have you removed the image it fixed? If you have it looks like you've changed textColorPrimaryDisableOnly on one of the themes but not the other...best to change the text color in that widget and leave the textColorPrimaryDisableOnly's as they are or you'll end up creating bobs by fixing wows depending on how you're doing it.

How do I edit the text of pop-up lists, please help me

Hello.

I wanted to edit the text of the pop-up lists contacts.apk to another color.

As the above image suggests, the text color cannot be seen.

So, I wanted to know how to change the pop-up list's text color to white, I do not know the location of the particular xml file which contains the text color of the list.

So, if anyone knows the location, do share it.

I edited it to a bit of grey.. N moreover my rom has bit of transprncy so that looks more diffrnt from stock.

U may try urself..

Best sugestion wud b that frst use uot kitchen to make ur popup menu transparent.

Than download the modded files from n thn decompile framework n again replace the popup images from some other framework(u may use the ones u replaced wit before).

Thn recompile. Sign n move to system/framework n see if it changes as per ur likin or not.

If u want ics styled ones then I have those.

Hi this guide is awesome, but I experience a bug you see..

-When I receive a text message and reply to it using the status bar notification once I tap on the notification and then start to type my reply inside the Messaging app, when I start to tap on the keyboard the "QuickSearch app" screen suddenly opens and then I press back and start typing again but when I start to tap at the keyboard no text is produced.. It seems that I can only reply to a text message by opening the messaging app from the app drawer itself.. This bug automatically disappears when in <style name="Theme" I change windowShowWallpaper to false but that would defeat the transparency mod? Can you please help me regarding the bug I experience? I really want to keep the transparency but that message reply bug is driving me nuts lol.. I figure that the fix is still in styles but I don't know where or could it be in layout?

Hi, i'm making a holo light theme, i changed everything, but i can't change the text color in call log listview. I've tried everything and I have not gotten anything.

I modified xml files deleting textview lines and I have not seen any change.

Help me please I'm going crazy.

Pd: I'm using the stock contacts with dualsim.
[Android Themes] kintwofan:
Yes, this us driving be crazy. I'm actually making a S4 themed ROM and I've got almost all my text worked out except the stupid call log.

Also since there seems to be some good themers here. I have the transparent status bar, but like most it is white in some apps so notifications are unreadable. Does anyone know how to make it only transparent in the home screen?
[Android Themes] jasonevil:
Add in a status bar to the BG image.
[Android Themes] kintwofan:
Not sure what you mean. With a transparent status bar when you open an all white app the status bar is displayed white so you can read clock or other notifications. So I want to make it transparent only in home and lock screens. Also, if you didn't notice this is for a ROM in making so I need to figure out how to make it independent of wallpaper or app.

My thought is program it into seclauncher kind of like how Apex or nova does it, but if there's an easier way I'm all ears. Or if someone has any tips for that method because I'm not sure how to implement it yet.
[Android Themes] jasonevil:
example

basically, on light themed apps that pull from the framework-res.apk, if you have your status bar transparent, it displays the main bg image from top to botton, even where the status bar is....the example i've provided is from an old mdpi theme of mine. you create a fake status bar on the image where it should be in the color you desire.....
[Android Themes] kintwofan:
Worked great in most apps, but I guess dialer, contacts, etc get there background from somewhere else. In and xda I guess because it's white right now. Great tip though because same theory should work when I find there background

Ingenious, so basically just mod the holo_light background in frameworks-res to add the "status bar" I knew there was an easy way. Thank you!
