Theme might need an update

I found why the colors were not updating for things such as dialog boxes. Although i updated the 33b5e5 value in colors.xml for "holo_blue_light", it didnt actually update anything until i put this in the android.xml.

<item name="color/holo_blue_light">@color/holo_blue_light</item>

I'm thinking you might want to update the template with this simple code in the android.xml so that the colors actually change after updating the values in colors.xml.

<item name="color/holo_blue_light">@color/holo_blue_light</item>
<item name="color/holo_blue_dark">@color/holo_blue_dark</item>

Also, i found the contacts tab fix. it was in deed a missing file, or rather a replacement of a missing xml file. the Contacts.apk has an xml named tab_selected.xml, tab_selected_pressed.xml and tab_selected_focused.xml that need to be replaced with a .9.png image named the same. Then do a redirect entry in the com_android_contacts.xml for all 3. i've attached mine for your viewing pleasure.
