[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!

This should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8316984&postcount=2297

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...

Sounds like there's a syntax error in the file. You're sure you made no mistake?
I've no problems at all with the changes described in this thread.

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.

[MOD] [ALL ROMS] Fix incorrect Battery Usage Display

This mod modifies the power_profile.xml in framework-res.apk. The values are used in Battery Usage to display how much battery has been used. The values LG used are way off, most notable is the Cell Standby and Phone Idle bug which reports using almost all the battery.
The values I have used are my estimates for battery consumption. I based this on the power_profile.xml values from the Nexus and Galaxy i9000, then modified a bit to what I think is correct based on readings from Power Tutor. Feel free to change any values you think are incorrect.
Please note that the framework-res.apk changes for each rom and for each build of a specific rom. Do not use a mod'd file for another rom or another build.
This is my mod'd power_profile.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<device name="Android">
<item name="none">0</item>
<item name="screen.on">81</item>

How to install:
1. Pull your existing framework-res.apk file
2. Download/Install 'APK MultiTool v1.02 from http://apkmultitool.com/
a) Run Script first to make the folders.
b) Place your framework-res.apk file in the folder called 'place-apk-here-for-modding'
c) Use Option 25 to select current project, select framework-res.apk
d) Use Option 9 to decompile the apk
e) The decompiled file will be placed in the projects folder
f) Open projects\framework-res.apk\res\xml\power_profile.xml with notepad
g) Copy the above xml code and replace the contents, then save your file.
h) use option 11 to compile the file (If you get compile errors complaing about can't find aapt, download from the same website 'APK Manager 5.02'. Copy the file from other\aapt.exe into your apk_multitool folder.)
i) When asked if it is a system file, enter y
j) When asked if you want to copy additional files, enter n (If you use this option, it will rebuild the apk incorrectly)
3. In the 'place-apk-here-for-modding' there will be a new file called 'unsignedframework-res.apk'. Open this with 7zip, also open your original framework-res.apk in 7zip.
4. Drag the file called resources.arsc from the unsignedframwork-res.apk window into the framework-res.apk window, overwriting the existing file.
5. In both 7zip windows, navigate to res\xml folder, and drag the file called power_profile.xml from the unsignedframwork-res.apk window into the framework-res.apk window, overwriting the existing file.
6. Your framework-res.apk has now been modded and can be pushed to the phone.
To build an update.zip flashable from CWM
1. Download Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
2. Download my cwm zip for Temasek build 56 from the link below
3. With 7zip, extract the contents of my update.zip file and place them in the Update-Zip_Packager\placehere folder. There should be 2 folders, META-INF and system.
4. Navigate to system\framework and delete my framework-res.apk file. Copy your mod'd version into this folder.
5. If you plan to upload your mod'd file for others to use, edit the file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with notepad and change the line ui_print("temasek's p970 KANG build P20-56"); to display the rom/build you've modded.
6. Run the script in Update-Zip_Packager and select option 2
7. Rename the update.zip file with rom/build numbers, copy to the SD card of your phone and flash through CWM. Remember to nandroid backup before flashing. Also recommended to wipe Dalvik cache.
For anyone running Temasek Self-Kang #56, you can flash my file through cwm.
Download from: http://www.mediafire.com/?d210riqatvgv9k9
Enjoy.

Very nice, we need more of this things (if it works). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing.
Will try this on my Marvel ROM.

Why is it important to replace the files in the original framework-res.apk, instead of just using the new one?

I started with the power_profile.xml from the Samsung i9000 (pretty much the same hardware as the Optimus Black, also the same one the Nexus uses). Some of the values didn't look right to me, for example wifi seemed to low. I used Power Tutor to show how much battery was being used for the screen at min/mix, wifi/wifi scanning, gps and processor (values in Power Tutor are Mw), then converted to mA (values in power_power.xml use mA). All other values I left alone.
As far as I'm aware, nobody has done a full power profile for our OB (connecting the battery to a multimeter and recording battery drain for diferent things). If/when someone does, we can use this values to get a more accurate display.

I replace the files in the original framework-res.apk to workaround a bug in APK MultiTool 5.02. When compiling the apk, if you use the option to keep unmodified files, APK MultiTool puts a new folder in the apk called build, with the unmodified files instead of just replacing. The method I use is a manual workaround to do the same thing correctly. The reason to keep unmodified files is to reduce the possibility of errors with complied/signed files.

Has someone tried this? I think that battery monitor show the time an app has been on, not the power it consumes, so is understandable that Idle and sleep show the most time as this are almost always ON.

Yes, I changed the power_profile.xml in my ROM. So far it's looking better than the stock one.
Why would a battery usage app care about used up time instead of used power? That's nonsensical. It's like comparing the energy requirements of a person who's training 6 hours a day with that of someone who sleeps 18 hours a day by comparing the times and not taking into account the energy consumption during that time. It's beyond ridiculous.

dude, that was I thougth, just cuz when you click an activity in the battery manager(the stock that cames with any rom) it just shows the time the app has been running. battery monitoring its not my thing, I prefer performance rather than battery (but a balance between them is what I'll look) just was asking if it works to add this to my rom.
PS to 1aca: relax, breathe in and breathe out...

Has someone tried this? I think that battery monitor show the time an app has been on, not the power it consumes, so is understandable that Idle and sleep show the most time as this are almost always ON.

For apps, it shows how much processor usage (not time used) that app has used and bases power usage for that on the values supplied for the processor. For example, if an app max's out the processor for 10 minutes, it is obviously using more power than an app that sits idling for 10 minutes.
Cell standby uses a couple of mA, phone idle is when the processor is asleep and uses next to nothing. Compare that with the screen on max at approx 256 ma or wifi using about 200 ma when active. If LG's values were correct, we'd run through our batteries in a couple of hours of standby, without even turning on the phone!

Is there an easier way to do this?

Ask the dev of whichever rom you use to include it in the rom.

Dunno why but ICS use non-traditional cpu speeds. It's the same as CM10 as it was based on KU5900 ICS. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p970/commit/740f579dc1001d223139a1dc1b7d72be8f0bb10c
It's using 100mhz, 200, 400, 800, 1ghz... Any known problem with this?

Shouldn't cause any problems to change, thats what I did when I originally did this mod.
The Battery Usage is not very acurate, it pulls info from batterystats.bin, then does calculations on them, also a lot of things aren't covered, such as GPU, SD, sensors, diferences for 2G,3G etc.
All you can really do is tweak it to what feels right for you.
@Vivek_Vivek. Its not practical to upload a flashable mod as a mod for one rom won't work on another one, every build of every rom needs a separate mod, hence the tutorial to do it yourself. Also, its not needed for CM10/ICS roms, the problem seems fixed in those.

Thanks. I include here in my next rom

[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.

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 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
