I Screwed Up!

I just updated my version of Alliance Rom. I was messing around with the text color settings for the menus and notifications etc. Now all my menus are blank and I can't seem to find the setting I used to do it. Everything is gone! Even the time/date/carrier stuff at the top of the screen! Pull down stuff is gone too. Can anyone please help me fix this preferably without a wipe/restore. Thanks.
 
Did you not make a BACKUP that you can restore? I will assume that you did not. In which case, you may have no choice but to dirty flash the ROM. Go into Recovery, wipe System, Dalvik and Cache. DO NOT WIPE DATA. Install the ROM again and reboot. If you're lucky, you'll be up & running again.

Then immediately (and going forward) make a BACKUP in Recovery of the new ROM in pristine condition. A BACKUP is recommended every so often (a week or two) and before making any changes that affect the operating system.

Good luck.

If they changed the text color via the rom's settings, wouldn't those settings survive the dirty flash?

The importance of having a current backup before modifying anything in /system can not be stressed enough. Backups are your best friend
 
^^nah mate a dirty flash will fix it I think :thumbsupdroid:
But I agree, make a backup before playing with anything like that :)
EDIT I just thought about it and if the changes he made were through the rom's settings then they probably will survive a dirty flash and he'l have to clean flash it :thumbsupdroid:
