I was looking through framework.res earlier and I didn't see it in there anywhere.

I looked at those...im not sure either. I pm'ed Idrifta and asked him where he edits to change the font color

 

[ShinySide]

If you decompile the apks youll see a folder called "colors"

 

[Fuzzy13]

Im pretty sure they are. I know that I edited my notifications drop down menu color through there somehow. About the whole phone? IDK.

framework-res.apk/res/values/colours.xml

Beware if you change the text from white to black for example, you can end up with black text on black background.

Hope this helps.

i'm already with black text on black/transparent background, thats why im trying to change the text color lol. Say i hit menu from the main screen, once the menu comes up if it has a "more" option and you hit it the next menu that comes up has a black background and black text.


What lines am i looking to change for the text color?

This might help you, it's dated but can still be useful.

You don't sign system apk's, adb push or flash them unsigned.

[dully79]

i pm'ed you

 

[V SuperUser V]

i pm'ed you

oh, i forgot on the pm, im also using Android Commander to push and pull the framework. Sooooooooooooo much easier than creating a zip, flashing it, and rebooting to see that something went wrong lol.

 

[V SuperUser V]

Yeah.

edit: what an idiot i am. I cant use the unsigned one. I copied the resources.arsc from the unsigned and pasted it on the original framkework-res using 7zip and that did it

 

[V SuperUser V]

ok. now im good. i got it the way i wanted. I'm ready to post a guide now for those who want new font/text colors on their phones to match their themes or likings lol
