[Q] Edit (Menu) Text Color

Hello,
I want to change to text color of the popup-menu from black to white.
Here's the reason why:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I changed the background graphics from white to black. So the text has to get white.
I just can't find a clue what file to edit.
Would be great if anyone could give a hint.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much.
Helps me a lot!

Does this not work in the DX or something? I extracted my framework apk but dont have the value folder nor an styles.xml ??

To get the values folder it isn't enough to just unzip the apk.
You have to decompile it with APKTool. Then change the xml and compile it back.
However, I got problems with the latest version of the tool. My phone's stuck in a boot loop when compiling with it. The former version 1.3.1 works fine.
This issue is described here.
Also, you have to copy the Manifest file and the META-INF folder from the original framework apk to the new compiled one.

Oh, and another thing.
If you have a menu where you can click on a button named "More", this is what you get:
To make this text become white you have to change
Code:
<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>
<item name="background">@null</item>
<item name="itemTextAppearance">?[COLOR="Red"]textAppearanceLargeInverse[/COLOR]</item>
</style>
to
Code:
<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>
<item name="background">@null</item>
<item name="itemTextAppearance">?[COLOR="Red"]textAppearanceLarge[/COLOR]</item>
</style>
I think.

Sorry guy,
but on this way i got the font in menu more not white.
Do you have any other idea to get the text in menu more white?

It doesn't work, if the textAppearanceLarge is black, too.
You can directly make it white via
Code:
<item name="itemTextAppearance">#ffffffff</item>

Thanks a lot Wallla, I've been trying to figure this out (expanded menu > white text) for a few weeks now!

so after doing that, how's your menu>settings>sound working...does it open?
i did this on my rom (cm 6.1 d/s) and menu is black with white text, expanded menus are black with white text, but certain things are force closing due to a layout error...

hmmm, i'll check...i cut/paste'd the code on your OP so, if there is a mistake, its on you LOL (joking)
thanks, i'll check

You coppied... But you replaced the old one with it, right?
Just adding it at the bottom doesn't work.
However, I'm sure you already know that.

Now, that you mention apkmanager...
What version of APKTool are you two using? (APKManager is also only using APKTool, in the inside).
Like I described in post #5: With the newest version of APKTool I also have problems. My device even didn't boot up any more.
Try to use version 1.3.1.

im using the vs you post a few pages back
Edit: ohh i didnt realize apk manager is using apktools, which version of ApkTools is in the Apk Manager folder?
Update: i changed ApkTool in the apk manager folder for version 1.3.1 and that created a bootloop

I'm trying to do this on a sense ROM a I had the menu background black at one time but had the same text problem I want to try and see if this will work but I can't for the life of me remember how I changed the menu background to black do you guys have any ideas? thanks in advance!

I never used apkmanager. But I could guess additionaly to building the apk, it also compresses the PNGs, zipaligns everything and signs it.
I think I read about some of that stuff doesn't go well with system-files.
So, in conclusion, I would advise you to make a build just with apktool. It's really easy to use.
Oh, and don't forget to copy/overwrite the Manifest file and the META-INF folder from the original framework apk to the new compiled one, as I already wrote in post #5.

Ics rom-:
FOR CM9 roms, you need to edit the theme.holo sections of styles.xml
If theme.light on froyo/GB then
theme.holo.light on ICS
forexample, theme.holo.noactionbar(actionbar=titlebar)
But in froyo/gb its theme.notification,,,
Just holo is added in ICS framework
After you end making transparent compile application and flash this framework-res.apk , for finding Hex value visit colorpicker.com
Chooose the guide suites you the best!!
PS. if you are using this guide in your rom make sure there is proper credits to this guide and link
Note-
drawable/yourpicturename means copy your .png file (will be background like in settings.apk) in drawable-mdpi (your device DPI)
Make sure perfect size !!
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers...!!

[MOD][GUIDE][GB] Highlighted Chooserbox

Hey all!
If you have noticed, on ICS/JB there is a little transition when you click on a chooserbox. This is a nice feature which I like very much!
After doing some investigation on framework I realized that on res/drawable-mdpi there were some pngs which are needed for this feature to work.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually this feature exists on gingerbread but there aren't enough xmls to activate it. Seems like Google has abandoned the project because of some reasons. The closest reason is this :
"Google have not implemented the full sources of it because they wanted to reserve it for future releases. [On ICS/JB]"
Why do i think so? Because @SpaceCaker has discovered many secrets whose nature is like in our case. He has discovered weather information on lockscreen, Music Player Control on Lockscreen and also some codes and smalis which are present on ICS.
[Actually, I have used custom sources rather than using google's one]
Today I gonna show you how to fully implement it on GB! :victory:
Requirments :
-APK Multi Tools
-Notepad++
-Knowledge about xmls
-Sources on attachments
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Decompile framework-res.apk
1. Go to res/drawable/list_selector_background.xml
You will see something like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_disabled[/B]" />
[COLOR="red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_transition[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
2. Change the 2 red lines. It will look like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
[COLOR="Red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
3. Download the Highlight Chooserbox_source.zip in the attachment, extract it and put sniper_killer.xml on drawable folder.
It consists these lines :
Code:
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim3" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim4" />
<item android:duration="40" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim5" />
<item android:duration="50" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim6" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim7" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim8" />
4. Put the PNGs on res/drawable-mdpi
5. Recompile framework-res.apk and test

Code:
<application android:theme="@*android:style/Theme.Holo" android:label="@string/settings_label"
# STEP 9
Now find
Code:
Theme.NoTitleBar
And replace each with
Code:
Theme.Light.NoTitleBar

Now open ManageApplications$ApplicationsAdapter.smali in
Code:
smali/com/android/settings/applications/ManageApplications$ApplicationsAdapter.smali
# STEP 11
Find
Code:
getColorStateList

use Layers Manager to install it
Or copy it to system/vendor/overlay
you have to create overlay folder and change permissions to 0755
And apk to 0664
if you like my work you can donate from this link

Download:
Here
Flash it form recovery
if you want 2 columns settings layout
download this and copy it to vendor/overlay
Here
Note:Settings apk for Deodexed ROMs so if youre using stock Rom you have to delete AsusSettings or move it from system/priv-app
to another folder before flashing the Zip

another one.....

Used the app and set apk permissions to all. Rebooted and quick setting theme applied. Note that you need to be on default theme to apply this theme.
The default circles are there but please don't remove them since its easier to read that way. If possible match their color with the top (Darker Blue) . Waiting for black menus and popups

Layers Manager not working.

I can give you the locations in the XML for some of the useful parts.

Most of this is similar to the Lollipop themes anyways..
For Sub Menu Backgrounds:
in colors .xml, change #ff3e5776
Code:
<color name="default_preference_background_color">#ff3e5776</color>
changes sub menu backgrounds
For Main menu background
in dashboard category.xml, change #ff3e5776
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/category" android:background="#ff3e5776" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingStart="@dimen/dashboard_category_padding_start" android:paddingEnd="@dimen/dashboard_category_padding_end"
changes Main menu background
in stlyes.xml, under
Code:
<style name="Theme.Settings" parent="@style/Theme.SettingsBase">
add lines
Code:
<item name="android:colorBackground">#ff3e5776</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#ffe5e5e5</item>
