black menu for AOSP roms

I'm stlill looking for a way to get my menus black on cm 6.1 stable. I don't want a full theme b/c I want to use my own transition animations and other custom feats. I like the stock black theme that comes with cm 6.1 but want black menus! Can anyone point me in the right direction???
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] andrew8806:
I have a metamorph theme that will give you want you want. However you will need to then pull the framework-res.apk because I have noticed the metamorph may cause issues with force closes. But once you have the framework-res.apk jut make it into an update.zip and when they flash it they shouldn't have any problems.

black menu cm 6.1

Really? That's awesome! Where can I find your metamorph theme? I just tried to pull the menu back ground out of cm7 framework-res and placed them in the cm6.1 framework-res.apk and zipped and installed, it kinda worked just no text in the menus!:-)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SynisterWolf:
The text is in values.xml once you de compile the frame work if you want I help make a gingerbread theme for cm6 this is what my menu looks like. If you want it just look for ninjabread in the theme section

The op of the topic broke his pc so I took it over. So the newer one is close to the last post and not the op.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradleyz:
Thanks for the help but I'm only looking to mod the menu to look like they do in cm 7. I've tried ninjabread but when I go to metamorph my transition animations it sends me into a bootloop then off to restore back up. Is there a theme zip for menu only? What part of the framework is value.XML located?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Devildog8791:
Values is a folder that will show up once you decompile the apk. It is actually present in almost all apk's res folder.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SynisterWolf:
If you like the look of ninjabread and want you mm to work send me the files and I can make an update.zip custom for you. Or send me a pic of how the menu looks and I will try to do it for you.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradleyz:
I really hate to be a pain, but... THERE ARE A LOT of values folders once I decompiled the framework-res.apk. which values folder would I find the text for my menu's? If anyone has the time or patients and are willing to help me out, hit me up on gtalk... bradleyz83@gmail.comcom

wish I could help you, I only got as far as the OP thanks to the theme I took all the hacks from. running an evo rom such as myns, already has a GB theme, it's very time consuming to do this when you know what you're doing, and near impossible when you don't
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradleyz:
Thats what these forums are all about right? I don't need a step-by-step guide. Just the file that i needs to alter. However I have a little know-how, with android. I'll keep an eye on this thread, maybe someone share they're ideas.

Need help on porting a dark-brownish theme

Hi, I need help on porting a theme to my LG P500

It is a dark-brownish theme.

So far, the porting is OK, but I have a problem.

If I hold-click home screen, "Add to Home screen" menu is appear correctly as shown in screenshot 1 below.

When I push menu button, menus are shown correctly as shown in screenshot 2.

Clicking "Settings" button got correct appearance as shown in screenshot 3.

Clicking "Display" also OK as shown in screenshot 4.

But when I click "Animation", I get black texts on dark background as shown in screenshot 5.

Same thing happens when I click "Screen timeout" as shown in screenshot 6.

How to change black texts on screenshots 5 & 6 to white?

Could someone please shed a light where I did wrong?

Thanks in advance

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I rename every one of my backups.. I'd be lost otherwise.. you just have to know the correct format to do... no spaces such as " SkyRaider 3.5" correct would be "SkyRaider_3.5" huge difference and will differentiate between a working and non-working nandroid. and if you do a nandroid, name it wrong, you can always rename it and be ok. I usually do something like this "SkyRaider3.5" "GB_48" "DoNotRemoveROM" "Athena1.2" and you get the idea.

You can rename it in Rom Manager with spaces and it will add the underscores. That's what I do and I have never had a problem.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
He already said he was on stock DI18 and you would not even get the update being on DK28 unless you odin back to stock.

Furthermore, lets be honest here; we all want the update really bad so we might be getting a little itchy on the trigger finger to say its coming. To the OP, don't take this as me calling you a troll or that you're lying or even that you're stupid, I'm just saying lets all take a step back and try and be rational about things. If the update were rolling out right now, more people would be chiming in to say they were getting it. As it stands I'm going to say that it was just a server error and that its not coming out just yet. Again, everyone needs to take one deep breath and remember not to take things out of proportion. =)
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I can confirm that the same thing happened to me today. I was back on DI18 after I put my ext4'd Epic into a boot loop by accidentally uninstalling a vital system app. Figured I'd check for an OTA....hahahahaha
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
My phone did the same thing on di18, I got tired of waiting for an update and start flashing custom roms. It makes the time go by, and you probably won't care for the Ota once on custom.

I just tried playing some of my ea games and noticed they are freezing right after it checks for updates. Only way to get it back up and running is do a battery pull, any ideas? I have a feeling that I neglected to install something from the options when I built my rom but maybe not..
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
The roms we have right now will not cause game freeze. What kernel are you using?

good day.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Stupid fast 1.98..
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Just realized you said it freezes after update check. Hmmmm? Couldn't hurt to give this one a shot from Adrynalyne http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/1230_NON_voodoo.zip. Just clear dalvik cache after kernel flash. This one is also not oc'd.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok I will try it in the am, thank you! Just curious, I have never cleared delvik cache when flashing a rom. should I every time?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Yes dalvik should be cleared within the same cwm session of rom or kernel flash. The clear dalvik cache option is under advanced in cwm. And first boot after will be just a bit longer don't panic it's normal. And I have been using that kernel I linked you to with no ill effects. In fact a little slicker than the SF stuff.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok thanks! I was able to establish that delvik cache is the .apks cache on my phone. So if I erase it will I lose all app data(saved games etc...) or does it simply just clear their caches and will take a bit longer to load next use?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Do not just delete that file or you will be in a world of hurt. Clearing of the dalvik cache is performed in cwm/advanced/wipe dalvik cache and this get done within the cwm session while flashing rom or kernel. And no you will not loose save data with a dalvik wipe.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Sorry I had a typo when I said delete the file, I meant to clear it.

Edit: just realized I've been calling it "delvik" and not "dalvik" too :)

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Is this kernel designed for DL09 or DJ05? I am running DJ05 still.. nothing has motivated me to run DL09 yet..
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Both. DL09 only offered some baseband and framework changes. I'm using that kernel with DJ05 rom and modem.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok thank you
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Installed the kernel you suggested and cleared dalvik cache and games work again :)

Download rom manager from the market and flash clockword mod recovery and then choose the "install zip from sdcard" option

Idk how update.zips work, but I never installed a rom using one lol

Are you trying to use the stock recovery or do you have clockwork mod installed?

You won't be able to load roms from the stock recovery. It checks for a valid signature before it flashes.

I rooted my Evo last night with unrEVOked 3.3 and this guide is step-by-step what I did. Hopefully this will help other who are still confused.

NOTE: Make sure any tethering apps are uninstalled prior to doing this. Thanks to SSJon for pointing this out.

Download and install HTC Sync, reboot, uninstall, reboot again.

**Make sure HTC Sync is

NOT

installed at this point**

-enable USB debugging (menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging)

-Go to unrevoked website and click the Evo, click unrevoked 3, then download for Windows and save the file to your desktop (there's support for Mac OS and Linux, however this guide was written for Windows)

-Go here and follow the instructions to install the hboot drivers

-Reboot your phone and let it load up like normal

-Connect your phone using the charge only option

-Run the unrevoked file you downloaded and wait for it to finish

-Finally, enjoy.

When I used this method my phone had just finished updating to 3.70.651.1 and had hboot 2.10 and fully charged battery. Through a good portion of this your phone cannot charge so I advise you to have a decent charge left.
