Nice job. I believe it was the edit in colors.xml I was looking for. Thanks.

On another note, I solved an old apktool.jar issue when compiling some blur apks. Now I can recompile blurphone and any other blur apk w/o error. Just edit the apktool.yml so that the framework ids are listed in numerical order.

Nice, thanks for that apktool.yml tip :D

Were you able to get the text on the dialer window to be white (right above the "Mobile *86")? It's supposed to say "Voicemail" but you can't see it because it's black; trying to change it, but I can't seem to find where to do that.




The "Recent" tab is giving me issues too, it didn't black out like the rest of the tabs did.

I don't know off hand which xmls those are. The dialer is a pain because it's made up of at least three apks (blurdialer, blurphone and blurcontacts). I'll take a look and let you know if I find it.

I know man, blur is pain in the a$$. I've looked in those 3 apks and I can't find it, maybe I need to look harder :shrug

I just tried blacking out backup assistant and the menu is fine, but you can't see the text when you initially set up the pass code.

Hmmm, I don't think I ran into that issue when I inverted BUA. I'll check that out too. Also, I put together a thread combining our findings on theming GB for DX. Check it out and contribute here http://www.mydroidwo....html#post66725

Did you already have your BUA account setup? I don't have one setup, so I get that initial screen that asks for the pass code.

Is there any way you can post up your BUA apk so I can test it out on my phone?

I will check that thread out, thanks.

I do have an account, so I can't get to that menu you show. All of my other text is fine. All I made was the one edit to the AndroidManifest.xml. Did you edit anything else? If not, my apk probably has the same issue.

No, I only edited the AndroidManifest.xml. I also tried changing styles.xml, but I got the same thing.

[unkleduke]

Try editing subscribemessage.xml in /layout. Try changing the 3 references of style="\?android:attr/textAppearanceInverse" to style="\?android:attr/textAppearance"

If that's not it, it may be another xml in layout.

The references I found don't look exactly like what you typed, they look like this:

style="?android:textAppearanceInverse"

but I went ahead and removed the "Inverse" part, and it didn't have any effect.

[unkleduke]

It could be in another xml like neworchangepin.xml. Since I can't get to that screen, I don't know what it's supposed to read and I can't test on my end. I'm sure the text is a clue as to which file it is.

Well, this is what the text reads:



My popup menu background just happens to be black too, I still haven't gotten it to work properly; I wonder if the popup menus background is affecting it?

I'm getting there, I either missed an edit in the xml or, I have to edit another xml for the first part of the message (scroll to the bottom of this post for the EDIT):






EDIT:
I did miss an edit in the xml I was editing. You need to edit pin_edittext.xml in the "layout" folder. Change all the style="?android:textAppearanceInverse" to style="?android:textAppearance".

Nice job. So what were all the edits you made? Also, how are you pushing the files to your device? If I simply push an edited apk with adb it won't work. I have to flash it with a recovery zip and also include all my themed apks at once.

I edited the AndroidMaifest by changing Theme.Light to Theme.Black, and the edits in the previous post where the "Inverse" part was removed from every entry in pin_edittext.xml xml.

I am flashing the apks with bootstrap/clockwork recovery. I just flash one at a time as I am working on them.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am also having issues with the "Accounts" menu not being blacked out in the "Settings" menu; I'm not sure if I am modifying the right apk, have you gotten that one to work? It's the only one I have left in the "Settings" menu to complete.






Also, I'm having trouble getting the "Recent" tab section to be blacked out, any ideas??? (I'll post up the screenshots again, just as a refresher and for the sake of being on the same post.)





Another issue, the text in the dialer, where it should say "Voicemail" is still giving me trouble.

Should say "Voicemail" right above the "Mobile *86"

Which apk are you modding for the accounts screen? It is most likely in a blur apk, not the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk, although I could be wrong. I took a quick look at my logcat and I think the apk you're looking for has this activity com.motorola.blur.setup/com.motorola.blur.settings.AccountsAndServicesPreferenceActivity. Hopefully over the weekend I'll have some time to take a look at this and the dialer issues too. No time to test today unfortunately.

EDIT: Check out Setup.apk

I was modifying AccountAndSyncSettings.apk, but it didn't have any effect; after that I had a feeling it would be a blur apk, but I'm not sure which one.

I'll check out Setup.apk, and see what happens.

[bouchigo]

@unkleduke,

Have you made any progress? I haven't worked on it at all this weekend, haven't had time.

[unkleduke]

I was away all weekend. Should have time later today. I'll post back if I'm successful.

Awesome trouble shooting, glad someone has the know how and patience as i have neither ;/
