Some alternative home launchers (ADW) enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screen(s). The mod does the same while keeping the stock Rosie.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen(s), while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.

XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk with MetaMorph any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.
Also, for some reason on the EVO, Rosie does not appear to like to be edited via MetaMorph, and as such, after applying the MetaMorph, you phone may freeze, requiring a battery pull or issuing a reboot via adb. All will apply fine after reboot.
As an alternative, you can pull the 'resources.arsc' file out of the linked MetaMorph, and manually insert it into your existing Rosie.apk file, and adb push back to your phone. It is recommended to issue the push during a reboot, or generate an update.zip file to flash via recovery. Pushing via reboot or applying via an update.zip file in recovery will prevent you from having to re-apply any of your widgets. As mentioned above, applying changes to Rosie while the phone is fully booted causes you to have to re-apply any widgets.

BEAUTIFUL! I've been looking to remove the text from my screens for a while too! No chance there's a flashable version, or a set of instructions for the N00Bish, is there?

Problem is, if you have any other changes to Rosie making it non-stock, a flashable zip will undo those other changes. It's such an easy change, if you want, post up your Rosie.apk file, and I'll modify it and create a flashable zip.
Will this myn-WarmTwoPointTwo-09-27-2010-RLS-1 ROM work with this .zip file on recovery clockwork mod flash?
Worked great with Myn
Btw.. thank you OP.

The linked zip file is a MetaMorph. It is not a flashable zip that can be applied via any recovery.

Anyone else notice that this doesn't work with the HTC Sense settings widgets? This removed all the text from my home screen (flashed with Metamorph only lost my widgets not my icons) but the Wifi, GPS, Mobile data, and Ringer Profile all still have text. I assume this is because they are widgets not app icons?
Also oddly enough it un-centered the Phone icon on my Rosie launcher using Virus theme, it is now slightly to the left, doesn't matter at all to me just found it odd.
Again sir, another great MOD. Glad you have an EVO now, I always seem to like your MODs.

That is what I thought for the widgets just wanted to be sure. As for the phone icon mo that was actually me not being observant lol. Turns out it just removed the word "Phone" that was next to the phone icon, I just never noticed the icon was off center till the word was no longer there. This is an awesome mod to bad soon after flashing this I found a really awesome font, one awesome enough for me to want my icon text back lol. I had to flash my Nandroid back up to get the text back. Do you know if there is a way to make a metamorph to bring the text back instead of having to go this route?

Oops, that should not have happened, i.e. remove of the 'Phone' text. That is an accident on my part, as I have it removed, and it is in the same file. I thought I was working off a stock Rosie for this mod, but clearly I was not. Sorry about that. I will modify accordingly.
You can always grab the stock Rosie.apk out of the ROM zip file you originally downloaded and just push it back to your phone to undo this change.
So with this mod taking away the texts, is it possible to manipulate the size of the icons as well??

Beautiful Widgets
Please PM me if you have purchased Beautiful Widgets and I'll send back the download link. You should probably forward a Paypal email showing the purchase or you could forward a screenie of your Market purchases. I don't want to give away someone else's hard work. This version is prior to the C&D that HTC gave LevelUp. There is also a Fancy Widget option included.
Metamorphing CM6
MM file can be found at the bottom of this post. The MM will change your fonts to Arial (including Clockopia.ttf) and change some images in framework and settings. This will not add the AOSP status bar and notifications. For the custom lockscreen background, refer to second post.
Music Widgets
Contained in update.zip at the bottom of this post. Minor graphic updates to the 4x1 and 4x2 music widgets.
DialerOne (updated to v1.2.6, refer to second post)
Contained in update.zip at the bottom of this post. Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as this will copy the APK to your system/app directory.
Weather Forecast Widgets
After getting everything just right with these widgets, I realized that not only are they not really accurate, but they chew up your battery. This is contained in a separate update.zip at the bottom of this post. Use at your own risk.
One ZIP file contains everything. Contents are as follows:
Step 1: Copy all folders to your SD card and apply images per below.
Desktop Visualizer folder - has the Estrongs, Market and XDA icons. Also includes a PSD template for the icon. This icon is twice the size and scaled down in LauncherPro to look crisp. Make sure you pick the Medium sized widget and rescale it.
LauncherPro folder - has (3) variations of the bottom bar skin (#1 is shown). Also has the background.jpg, which is set to not scroll in LauncherPro. Apply the images to your shortcuts in LauncherPro by selecting Custom Icon.
Pure Calendar Folder - has the image files necessary for the 4x1 calendar widget on the main screen. Just overwrite one of the stock themes on your SD card and reapply.
Step 2: Copy {whatever}-update.zip to the root directory of your SD card and apply in recovery.
s23-GTX-update.zip - Will install the following:
- Analog Clock Widget 1 (Samir Applications)
- Audio Manager (Smart Android Apps) - Divider lines removed
- DeskClock
- GenieWidget.apk (with HTC weather icons) - Divider lines removed
- DialerOne (Yermek Zhumagulov)
- Music
- OneClick (WeDroid)
- Scoreboard (Google) - Divider lines removed
Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as this will copy the APK to your system/app directory.
s23-GTX-fancy-update.zip - Will install Fancy Widgets.
s23-GTX-weather-update.zip - Will install Weather Forecast Widgets.
Step 3: Extract {whatever}-MM.zip file to SDcard/Android Themes/s23-GTX-MM and apply with Metamorph.
s23-GTX-MM.zip - Will change font to Arial and will edit some images in framework-res.
Get the ZIP file here NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, READ ABOVE
Notes:
- Way too many people to thank. If your widget is shown, thanks. If your ideas are shown, thanks. Thanks to everyone in the universe. The only image file that was directly taken from GTX was the analog clock (I think). Thanks for that.
- I tried to accomplish the entire look with widgets so they could be used on other MDPI devices, regardless of ROM.
- I also did Metamorph for the frameworks since CM6 is changing nightly.
- Fancy Widgets update.zip has been added to the zip in the OP.
Custom Lockscreen wallpaper:
(Based on 08.23.10 CM6 nightly) I will update this based on nightlies. If the nightly doesn't change the xml file I modified, I won't post a new one. If you want to customize the wallpaper, edit the file in the framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi folder named create_contact.png. Thanks to ihtfp69. The lockscreen images and xml have been removed from the Metamorph in the main zip file (above).
If you want a light lockscreen with custom wallpaper like the one below, apply this Metamorph (don't let MM unzip the file, do it yourself)
If you want a dark lockscreen with custom wallpaper like the one below, apply this Metamorph (don't let MM unzip the file, do it yourself)
LauncherPro Widgets: (updated to v0.8.1.0)
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764797
Add-ons
GTX theme for Calendar, Contacts, Email, Messaging, Phone, Market and XDA. Apply this update.zip in recovery.
Metamorph with blue battery icons and to change everything from orange to blue. Apply this Metamorph (don't let MM unzip the file, do it yourself)
DialerOne v1.2.6
Updated DialerOne theme for v1.2.7.1. Make sure all other instances of DialerOne are uninstalled or removed (via ADB, file manager or Market) before installing. Select Light theme and change the dialer number colors to as dark as possible under settings.
Download here
Scorecenter v1.0.5
If you don't like Scoreboard, here's another option that matches this theme. Download here. NOTE: The Bottom Line text is black but should be white. I'll fix soon.
Excellent work! Nice change up from the dark themes.

Thanks guys. Means a lot coming from all of you with your talents too. This theme did take time but not a ton of time. Partially because the AOSP taskbar is essentially "GTX" anyway and because I've been doing this long enough that I have a pretty good idea of what I need to change to achieve the look.
The other thing that helped out immensely was using widgets with absolute layouts as opposed to relative layouts. If I can pin-point the exact location of something in dips, it makes my life easier. That's just my dorky 2-cents....
Isn't it annoying how we can never be satisfied with our themes? I am already thinking of what this would look like inverted (i.e. - dark GTX). I think it would look cool. But the black text on white is so damn legible and cool looking. I don't know, maybe I'll do a test run.......

For metamorph, sometimes it will loop. Pull battery and restart or flash the original framework-res and try again.
As for LP, you just add the icons to the dock. But if you're using ADW, I don't know.
And for Desktop Vis, those files are just for reference if you want the shortcut icons like in the screenies.

I only mentioned that because sometimes MM throws an error. Basically, download Metamorph from the market, launch, pick new theme, pick my MM zip file. If MM doesn't extract, then browse to SD card/Android Themes/ and extract the zip yourself.

Do you find the screen on/off button at the top of your EVO adequate for locking/unlocking your phone and don't want to be bothered with the additional steps for unlocking the screen after pressing the on/off button? If you answered yes, this mod is for you.
Disclaimer: Attention all "Billy Buzzkills", yes, I know there are third party apps that can do this. I don't want to install them to do so. I wanted to accomplish this at the framework level. Yes, I know you can toggle this on/off via the CM ROM widget. I don't currently use that ROM, and further more, this mod is "persistent", i.e. it survives a reboot, and can be turned on/off manually via a mechanism I've built-in to the mod, which is explained below, all w/o installing any third party app or widget.
This mod is accomplished via edits to the 'services.jar' framework file, so if you are already running various mods that you've manually applied to your services.jar file, this will undo them, and you will have to re-do them after applying this mod in the same manner previously.
When you flash the mod zip provided below, it will remove your HtcLockScreen.apk, if currently present, replace your current services.jar file, and, most importantly, place a "dummy" file named 'nolock.txt' in your '/system/customize' folder.
Upon bootup, when/if the '/system/customize/nolock.txt' file is present, your Vanilla Lockscreen will be disabled, meaning as soon you press the power button on your EVO, you will be taken directly to your homescreen.
This mod is based on the most current 'services.jar' file as distributed via the Sprint OTA update 3.30.651.2, and also has the 'translucency' mod built-in for the notifications window (thanks to xeudoxus & fxn).
Disable All Lockscreens for HTC Sense ROMs <--- Flash via recovery
As with replacing any framework file on your phone, your dalvik cache will get rebuilt on the initial boot, causing an extended reboot time. Don't panic, your phone will come up, eventually. While waiting, grab a coffee, get re-acquainted with your wife, say hello to your neighbor, solve world hunger, etc, etc.
Want your Vanilla Lockscreen back, or want to toggle this feature on/off in a persistent manner? Via ADB, simply shell in to your phone and rename the 'nolock.txt' file:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize
mv nolock.txt nolock.txt.bak
reboot
When your phone comes back up, your Vanilla Lockscreen will return. You can accomplish the same steps above via 'root explorer' by simply navigating to the referenced folder and renaming the file.
Want to disable again?
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize
mv nolock.txt.bak nolock.txt
reboot
If you deleted the file, rather than renaming it, just re-create the dummy file using:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize/
touch nolock.txt
reboot
And when the phone comes back up, the lockscreen will be disabled once again.
Not comfortable with the manual approach? I've included 2 flashable zip files below that, after applying this mod, you can simply boot into recovery and flash to enable/disable the Vanilla Lockscreen as desired.
Flash to turn off lockscreen <--- Flash via recovery
Flash to turn on lockscreen <--- Flash via recovery
Note: Unfortunately, this does NOT work in conjunction with the keypattern unlock. When / if you are using the keypattern, it forces the lockscreen first, followed by the keypattern entry, so if you want keypattern ONLY, w/o the lockscreen, this will not accomplish this goal, though I will look into it. I just wanted to get this out there as version 1.0.
After flashing this, can you then just use the pattern lock screen and bypass the htc slide down and vanilla lock screens or will the pattern lock be disabled too?

The way the keypattern works, it forces the Vanilla screen back on. This wasn't my primary goal when doing the mod, so, no currently, it won't work that way, but as mentioned, it's something I'll look into to see if there is a way...
Just an update. Had a chance to look closer at the keypattern files, and I have a few ideas that "may" enable keypattern ONLY. Stay tuned...
what about roms with white taskbar?, the clock is white...can you make a version of services.jar with black font for the clock in the taskbar?...pattern would be sweet too

My main goal is the put this base mod out there. People can certainly take it, as mentioned, and modify to tweak for their other configurations as desired, given that those types of things are small edits in comparison.
Having said that, I see this as a common request, and as such, below is a link to the same mod with the clock font modded to black from white, for those running a white taskbar.

Thanks so much..now we dont need a stupid app running a process all the time. Sweet mod
good stuff u giving us... and u never stop.
thank you.
two quick question/requests... that i think was asked before... but im not sure if u had a chance to check it out.
i know that u made the rotary vanilla lock screen work on 2.1 roms before... maybe a mode for the new 2.2 would be nice.
and the biggest one... losing the htc slide-to-answer and getting the vanilla lockscreen would be freaking sweet also.
sorry for throwing requests at u man... but it seems like u have the best understanding of how to do things with the smali code.
Works great! I love not having to unlock two or three things to switch the pandoria song wile im driving

It would be mentioned if that were the case, but since it's not, it wasn't. My phone sleeps just fine. This mod uses standard android libraries for simply disabling the keyguard.

Unfortunately, this is one in the same as pulling off the pattern unlock only, which is kicking my butt right now. These are on my "to look at" list, but, in all honesty, a little lower than some higher priority stuff (notifications power widget / rotary lock / phone slide to answer, etc).
Good work with this.

hey john,
can you share what changes need to be made to services.jar? im trying to do Windows 7 look and need to remove both lockscreens to use widgetlocket instead.
but as you know i've modified things quite a bit and can't flash over everything else. i'll make the necessary .smali edits if you tell me what file to edit

This mod is a little (actually a lot) more intensive that commenting out a few lines of code, etc, and it's not practical, IMHO, to try and post up (nor do I have the time), instructions on something like this.
It'd be easier, quite frankly, if you want, to just PM be your jar file and I'll take the time to work through / integrate for you (note, Max makes an effort and thus why I'm willing to do so for him).
well i currently have removed HtcLockScreen.apk and have WidgetPro set to disable the lockscreen. this works well in combination with WidgetLocker...
is it going to be much better with this modification? i dont want to trouble you with extra work. i'd rather have you developing new things
Okay guys, at the suggestion/request of Konikub, who was told this couldn't be done, I, "Team LoneWolf" , decided to crack open the stock HTC Messaging application (Mms.apk), in order to investigate the possibility of inverting / applying a "dark theme" to the application.
It seems this has not been done before, and upon initial investigation, I can see why. Many of the HTC Sense applications share common resources (themes, styles, icons, etc), stored in com.htc.resources.apk. So, if you attempt to modify something used by Mms.apk, but stored in com.htc.resources.apk, you are going to unwittingly modify the appearance of other applications, and if other corresponding elements are not adjusted in those applications as well, you are going to have problems.
So, things that are "challenging" are the things I like to try and tackle, and inverting this application was a tough cookie, requiring extensive edits, in some cases to "undo" references to items stored / defined in com.htc.resources.apk, and rather, make them stand alone directly within Mms.apk. This required major edits to XML, Styles, Colors, local .pngs, and Smali/Java code. You wouldn't think simply themeing an app would require all of this, but Mms.apk did.
Essentially, what this mod has done, for the most part, is flip most text that was black, and made it white, and most backgrounds that were white, and made them black (inverted), giving you a bit more visual interest, as opposed to the stock "white" look.
For those running a dark theme on their phone, who prefer to use the stock messaging app (I use Handcent, lol), this should fit the bill nicely. Again, thanks to Koni-man for the "nudge" / "coaxing" to take a look at this.

Flash the attached (HtcMms.zip) via recovery. Also, let me know if I missed anything. It is certainly possible, as there are so many menu options / tasks that can be done, that I may have overlooked.
EDIT: MetaMorphs attachments added (morph_*.zip), to modify the default 'tap to compose' area from gray (shown in screen caps above), to black (screen capture), and another to return the application icon in the app drawer to stock color. DO NOT ATTEMPT to flash these. They must be applied using MetaMorph, AFTER you FIRST flash from recovery the original mod (HtcMms.zip). After applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

Indeed, he's a good guy. Honestly, if someone else came to me for help on this one, especially since I use Handcent (currently, I may switch now too!), I probably would have ignored the request. But, I always like to help Koni out when possible .
Very sweet I am downloading now
Might you be able to customie other apps like this? Like making the stock HTC music app and People app all black. That would make Sense even more epic.

Just flashed I like but needs a few details.
1. It changes the message icon at the top notification bar default.
2. Make the "Tap to Compose" section black with white like the rest.
3. Make the main message icon default color not blacked out.
Other than that very good work!!

Wow, JS. Nice. I want to use this, but question. Does this include any of the mods that were put into it from Calkulin. More specifically, the compression fix and 5MB limit fix. It's fine if it doesn't. They're just good to have.

I modded this from a stock Mms.apk. I'm not familiar with the details of the mods Calkulin did, but I assumed they were to the framework, as opposed directly to the .apk. I'll have to look, as, honestly, until now, I've never really used the HTC Messaging app.
BTW, I'll probably knock out a few MetaMorphs shortly, with some "other" preferences, such as the mentioned black "tap to compose" area. I did it that way initially, but didn't like it. It looked like too much black to me and made it hard to differentiate the compose versus non-compose areas. I'll probably also do a MM to restore the stock application icon. I wanted to darken it to denote it is a changed / darkened version of the app.
Thanks been wanting this for a while. I knew you was going to give us something cool you was too quiet.
You are the man.

Okay, FYI, I've attached 2 MetaMorphs to the end of the OP based on preference.
The first MetaMorph will change the "tap to compose" area from the modded gray in the OP, to black for those who prefer it, as shown below:
The second MetaMorph simply returns the application icon in the app drawer to stock white.
Note, after applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

After just getting around to installing your rotary unlock mod, I am loving this!
Only problem is I can't install it. I go into the recovery menu, choose install from zip and then confirm, I get an error.
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and updater-binary) to create working update .zip packages.
Any ideas why I get this error? I haven't changed anything since I installed the rotary lockscreen. Maybe switching to Amon recovery?
This is a modified version of the Infuse TouchWiz launcher. Thought I would throw this together for you guys since I saw a couple people mention it.
Features:
-5 column app drawer
-Transparent app drawer background
-No colored icon backdrops in the app drawer
-No icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)
-Removed "Press and hold this page to add content" from empty pages
Update (5/18/2011)
-Fixed alphabetical app drawer style only showing 16 icons per page
-Reverted to default fade animation for the app drawer (the new animation was causing odd behavior)
-Made the app drawer background slightly less transparent (so app names are easier to read)
-Removed icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)
Instructions:
Warning: If you're not familiar with adb, you should install another launcher prior to installing this in case something goes wrong.
1. I recommend using Root Explorer for this process, but if you're an experienced user then you can probably think of several other methods.
2. In /system/app, rename TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.bak and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.bak.
3. Copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk into /system/app.
4. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--.
5. You may need to reboot, but probably not.
I do this for fun so you shouldn't feel any obligation to donate, but here's a link if you want to. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

im on it. you are the best!
edit: done and working! looks way less cheesy than before. now i dont care for the 5icon docks, if i did id use launcher pro. but i was wondering if the 5x5 home screen view from the tab could work? that is not as important as what you already did though. i am super happy about the backdrops being gone and things being a more reasonable size. the icons dont look so offensive on the home screen in 4x4 but i though 5x5 would fit a bit better.
edit: ok one slight visual bug. on the flyin animation the 5 column seems to be doing what the center column should. it is like the 1-4 columns make a semetrical pattern and then the last on one the right just moves on a vertica plane. not sure if you can fix that but im letting you know.
Is there anyway that I can edit it? I want to play with it so that to maybe get some experience.
TwLauncher is unusable for me until A.) it has a 5 icon dock, and B.) I can move the drawer launcher off the far right icon.

can't help you with the 5 icon dock, but i think you can move the drawer launcher by: opening your drawer > menu > view type > customizable grid > menu again > edit > then you can tap and hold to drag around the app icons, including those on the launcher tray
i don't have the device, but those are the steps i saw on a pocketnow video
look in the i9000 section and pull there launchers over. gtg465 has been at this for a while. i requested the 5 icons in thedrawer because it just looked wrong to me. the 5 icon dock with centered app drawer was done a long time ago and con be found in older version of gtg's launcher for 2.2.1.
you may want to look at launcher pro or adw or go launcher but it breaks the samsung widgets if you dont have touch wiz.

what happened? what's a "user in the file" did you somehow wind up without a launcher? you didnt turn the phone off did you? if you long press home do your recent apps pop up?
if you are without a launcher and the phone freezes after the bootanimation but does not bootloop too rapidely there may be hope. you can often still adb into the phone. provided you have the phone set for debugging mode. im not sure the phone is set for debugging in recovery but that would be even better.
pm me with more details ther emay be a few ways to approach this.

Guess you didn't heed my warning in the first post. Here are the adb commands to set permissions:
adb shell
mount /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
exit
adb reboot
If it says permission denied at some point you need to run the su command after adb shell and accept the Superuser prompt on your phone.
edit: Sounds like you figured it out. Good to hear.

Based on the number of downloads of the latest version alone, I would say at least 30 people have tried it and only one has had trouble.

Accurate Battery Mods for EB105 Froyo
These are a few basic Battery Mods made from EagleBlood V105 Froyo. Although they were specifically created for that build, some testers have reported it working on other 2.2.2-based builds (aka anything using the LG stock Froyo as a base). This mod replaces the entire framework-res.apk file, so you will loss any previous theming.

Ya, but I will be putting together a few more battery mods when I have time. Just went a lil crazy today haha.
As another method, you can TRY feeding the framework-res.apk back into the Online Theme Kitchen, but it doesnt always work right. Sometimes it errors out, or causes a bootloop, but its a great resource for images.
PS WIll be adding more images soon, especially for the True Xperia

That bug is DEF fixed if you used the above links, I flashed that sucker a few times to make sure. I also bundled in all the themed apps to make it easier, so we are def talking about the same file. Try flashing it, clearing your dalvik-cache, fix permissions, and reboot. Let me know.
Attached the "offending" file
Thought I'd share a screenshot of the blue circular battery mod and how cool it looks with it!!! Also I found that the sliders color have changed as well as the position of the sliders which I am digging cause it suits the ROM!

Thats REALLY strange as the image has DEF been replaced with the proper one, and I combed through the framework pretty well to make sure I didnt miss anything else. Also, I flashed both my version and the Xperia version a few different times to make sure.
EDIT:
Okay, just tried Root Explorer, and I think it may be a app issue, cause that image doesnt exists in the framework. If an app uses its own png file instead of the one in the framework, then the dev needs to update the app with a GB style menu. Just curious, what other apps do that?
See pic below, this is from the Browser although MOST other apps should have a similar menu.

That power widget is from my personal "phishmonged" theme, make sure you arent flashing the True Xperia theme. Also, just to confirm, you are running EagleBlood V105 Froyo, correct?
I attached the Settings.apk file, which has all the mods for the settings menu and Power Widget, as another method. You can try pushing it to /system/app or copy\paste it to /system/app using Root Explorer or SUFBS.
I thought maybe I saw this problem before I installed your theme but my memory was fuzzy. After your statement, I'm sure now I saw this with the original ROM. I agree it is a ROM problem. I see it with Root Explorer and my exchange email app Touchdown.

No, I dont think its a rom problem, I think its an app problem. Android has a LARGE set of images that apps can use (which is why the "Settings" button looks the same for most apps, as it simply borrows Androids icon for settings). From Froyo to GB, The menu changed from white to black and the text inverted colors as well. If an app developor decides to use his own image (included in the app apk) instead of using Android's images (from the framework, which the theme modifies), then that would explain why certain apps have the white menu bug while others dont.
