Hi All,
I just installed CM7.03 stable and when it boots up it has this "Loading..." text where it looks like there is a black rectangle around the text. Basically it doesn't blend in with the black on the rest of the screen and sticks out like a sore thumbe.
Is this normal...and if so how can one "fix" it? For example, the stock 1.2 has the Reading Forever text but the black in the background is uniform and blends in well. Maybe I'm just being anal (CM7 is awesome!) but this is very ugly to me.
are you on sd? i get same thing "loading" but from sd.
Yup. I'm running CM7.03 stable off my SD card.
It comes from the bootloader we build from the sources Barnes and Noble gave us. They couldn't open source the image they used for the stock logo, so that's what they left us with.
Thank you for the clarification.

I searched but didn't do a great job. Awhile back I downloaded from here I assume is a stock HTC Kaiser theme that was black which made the windows mobile task bar and such a black/grey color. I had to do a hard reset on my phone yesterday to help with some issues that were plaguing my phone like not allowing me to answer calls, text messages, not allowing me to write text messages and not letting me turn the phone off using the on/off button. I was hoping someone still had this background floating around. I'd love to get it back cause the blue and green from before you do anything looks terrible. Also I've KasierTweaked my dialer and it stays blue for some reason. I wondered if the original black theme changed its color on the dialer pad making for a grey background and black key pad or if its a download. I just remember it looks like the WM version but was just black and grey in color. Trying to get my phone back to how I liked it. Thanks.
I'm porting a bootscreen and just needed to set the right resolution on the pics. The bootscreen worked at first but didn't fill the screen, so I decided to port one I liked to the D3. But after changing res of pics and the config file, it doesn't work. I just get a black screen until the phone finishes booting.
Where did I go wrong?
I was also hoping to give the android an android green color instead of grey, but wanted to make sure this worked first (which it didn't).
So i have been trying to get a black background that is truly black.
everything i have tried has left a slight hue on the background. back 2 black is not supported or i would have tried that.
is there any way to get background to remain off completely and only light the pixels for the icons, clock, notification etc etc. i notice the info bar at the top is darker than my black background and no matter what i cant get the background to go completely black.
my reasoning is if i make the icons into line art, and keep as much of the screen off wherever i can i can stretch battery life even further. it worked wonders on my gs2. But having a slightly glowing background ruins all that.
I'm not sure whether it's supported, but you can try making a monochrome bitmap-file (.bmp) in MsPaint. At least you are sure this way that the black is truly black.
Have you tried using different launchers? Are you sure the hue is not just your icons giving some 'bleeding'?
thanks, i will give that a try.
its the same with go launcher and touchwiz. its actually magnified on the lockscreen showing lots of banding.
Try this pic. I use it on mine and looks black

My first Note did this so I sent it back. My new one does not do it.
still no luck, apps with black backgrounds look fine.
i tried an all black bitmap and that didnt work either.
is there any way to turn background off and just leave it blank? would that give me a pure black background?
like i said i dont think its a hardware problem since the app backgrounds look deep black unlike the wallpaper. i did see something about the note only being 16 bit and that was causing weird display issues due to scaling or something, blah blah.
its using 24bits
thats right, the note is 24 bit and the os operates in 16 bit currently, right? either way i need to find a way to fix it.
I used a plain black GIF. Works fine for the home screen background, but on lock screen it has barely noticeable dark gray lines in it until you touch it and the unlock symbol appears.
here is the one i made
this black is one color 24 bit png on my note it is completely black at any brightness. let me know if it works. 800 x 1280 black correct dpi blackground

or download "no wallpaper" from the market - simple app that just adds a wallpaper that is totally black. Works a treat.
Try an app called COLOURS by Tim Clark
Using nothing more than Accurate Aperture Labs logo, GIMP, and just about all of my free time today, I have created a fresh take on Aperture Laboratories. Turtle tested, Turtle approved. Speed is set to 25, and part0-to-part1 transition is perfect.
Now with Scientific GIF Samples!
part0
part1
By 'Not-Quite-Done' I mean my To Do list is as follows:
1.) Make the animation faster and/or shorter because my phone is a zippy bastard and often starts up before part1 sees the light of day
2.) Add a loading loop at the top-right, identical to the loading circle in the top right corner in Portal 2 loading screens, only instead of the Portal stick figure sticking halfway out it'll be our old pal An Droid.
[Maybe] 3.) Make a separate boot animation dedicated to the great Cave Johnson.

I like the addition of orange. I'm a boot animation junkie and this one just got cooler.

I spent a lot of time flirting with the Blue/Orange idea. I might be doing a number of color schemes for this same animation, and I will be making two additional sets based around Cave Johnson and Wheatley.
Here's a set of general-purpose lockscreen wallpapers in the meantime:
Black background, orange logo
Black background, blue logo
Blue background, white logo
Blue background, black logo
Orange background, black logo
Orange background, white logo
White background, blue/orange logo
Black background, blue/orange logo
Looks great.
I could make some kind of soft glossy effect on the text.
Also i could make the colors little bit different. (brighter)
Orange looks somehow little bit rusty and blue is to dark imo
Maybe some kind of glow effect like this. xD
I hope to see more great work from you
Believe me, there are six thousand ideas coming up right now, and glowy text was one of them.
I'm also making another couple of animations of GLaDOS (from some awesome vector I found on DeviantArt) and Atlus/Peabody. I might even toss in Space Core somewhere!
Edit: Ultimately, I want the GLaDOS animation to be official-looking so that I can pitch it to Ezekeel as a default boot animation for his GLaDOS kernel.
This is really nice!
where's the download link?
Holy herpaderp! I totally forgot to provide a download link.
I'll add it here as well as the OP. Thanks for that.

Looks like I was able to trim out the fat after all. Here's a sample of my latest update (mind you, the animation doesn't run quite as fast as this GIF):
>>Link to the GIF that actually runs faster than the real product<<
Someone please append this to my prior post.
I love this!
Using it on my SGS2 with a sound from here which I converted to .wav
Taking notes from the default CyanogenMod7 bootanimation, the frame doesn't have to be full 480x800; It simply centers whatever's there vertically, and since this particular bootanimation's black, it should blend with no issue. One quick update and it should be running like normal (I know some of you testers probably noticed that the initial animation is skippy at first. This will fix that).
Edit: Minor update, but it's done. Same link as in the OP.
Hi
Since going to ICS CM9 I noticed that a lot of the OS is white instead of black, particularly the contact list and text message screens which we use a lot. This surely must be draining the battery a lot. Is there a way to change it back to black ie invert it?
Also the 2nd screen which comes up when reading a long SMS message is not present in ICS (the large white font on black background). I miss that. HAs anyone tried getting that back?
I don't want to go back to gingerbread but its looking like I might have to!
Inverted google apps, search for it, or you can get a theme like blue infinitum.
