If you want to send me the files I can take a quick look for you.

What files do you need?
Framework and systemui?

framework

In framework-res.apk\res\values\styles.xml:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar">
<item name="textColor">#ff6b6b6b</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent.Title" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="textColor">#ff000000</item>
</style>
Change those to white (or whatever color you prefer). The rest looked right for white text.

I did that, still black :-( any other ideas?
If it helps, when I'm downloading something its white, once installed text changes to black

[Q] Context (long-press) Menu Text Color

Long-Press Menu Text Color (not the Menu Button "bottom popup menu")
i'm having a hell of a time finding the necessary XML edits to change the text color of context (long-press) menus and i have edited possibly every text appearance/color attribute of the framework in the styles.xml and a few other XML's in the /layout folder and i still can't get it. There seems to be no info at any forums about this specifically (searched forever).
Any thoughts? This is quite frustrating.

Willing to give donation in exchange for information to anyone who can help me........

This is not the final answer but it will point you in the direction. Here's the parent control that will affect a lot of text. You can then narrow it down to whichever child style that you only want it to affect--unless of course, you don't mind all of that text to be affected.
In framework-res.apk open styles.xml in \res\values in a text editor.
Look for the style
<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>
Add the line
<item name="textColor">#ffff0000</item>
where #ffff0000 is any color that you want, in this example it is red, or use the color variables such as "?primaryinverse", etc.
to this so that it now looks like:
<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
<item name="textColor">#ffff0000</item>
</style>
This will result in these types of looks:

[MOD][ICS]Custom thumbnails in recent apps. For phones without working preview

Hi! Luckely, Ice Cream Sandwhich, have become stable enough for daily use on the beloved HTC Hero At least as if you don't use camera But what we do not have is previews in the fancy recent apps dialog. So I decided to make a simple mod to make it a little more appealing and I decided to share it in case there are other phones with the same problem
The mods here are done in the SystemUI.apk. I'm using APK-multitool, but any tool should work as long as you manage to decompile and compile the systemui
Change the stuff I have highlightened
res/layout-land/status_bar_recent_item:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/app_thumbnail" android:background="[B]@drawable/recents_bg"[/B] android:visibility="invisible" [B]android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_width" [/B][B]android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_height" [/B]android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_left_margin" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_top_margin" android:foreground="@drawable/recents_thumbnail_fg" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
res/layout-port/status_bar_recent_item:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/app_thumbnail" [B]android:background="@drawable/recents_bg"[/B] android:visibility="invisible" [B]android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_height" [/B]android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/status_bar_recents_thumbnail_left_margin" android:foreground="@drawable/recents_thumbnail_fg" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/app_label" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
Now you can add the png (name it recents_bg) you want in the drawable/*dpi folder and compile
One thing to mention is that it will have a a dark overlay. To get rid of this change the android:foreground to recents_bg instead
I hope I haven't forgotten too much and that some people find it useful

Done.Recompile your android.policy
STEP 2: Add THIS to \framework
STEP 3: Add THIS to \fonts
STEP 4: And THIS to \etc\permissions
STEP 5: Now for the Lockscreen Settings(in order to change your wallpaper)

Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_lockscreen" android:id="@id/lock_screen_settings" android:title="Xperia Settings">

How to set up a margin for navbar icon?

I am using BottomNavigationview and I want to animate the height of it, so it is extendable. My problem is that the Items stay centered vertically, but they should have a fix top-margin of e.g. 5dp. How is it possible to move them up with the top of the navbar?
My XML for one of five Items (with text!) (in menu folder):
HTML:
<item
android:id="@+id/testid1"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_test1"
android:title="@string/Overview"
android:state_pressed="true"
/>
The XML for the Navbar:
HTML:
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="@color/white"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:itemIconSize="26dp"
app:itemIconTint="@color/NavBarGrey"
app:itemRippleColor="#B5F1F1F1"
app:itemTextColor="@color/NavBarGrey"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
Here the Kotlin-Code for the "up" animation:
Code:
val anim = ValueAnimator.ofInt(convertDpToPixel(56.0).toInt(), convertDpToPixel(400.0).toInt())
anim.addUpdateListener { valueAnimator ->
val `val` = valueAnimator.animatedValue as Int
val layoutParams: ViewGroup.LayoutParams =
bottom_navigation.getLayoutParams()
layoutParams.height = `val`
bottom_navigation.setLayoutParams(layoutParams)
}
anim.setInterpolator(OvershootInterpolator(1.0f))
anim.duration = 450
anim.start()
Here is how it looks right now.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The round items should move up to the top like the blue button (which is an extra object and not part of the navbar)
