Dear all
Apparently it seems that nobody (on different smart-phones threads and also here on Galaxy Notes) knows how to change the default background from annoying black (very bad for my ageing eyes) to a more traditional and relaxing white or light colour (as for iPhone). I mean the background for
- general settings
- phone
- contacts
etc.
Can somebody please share his ideas?
thank you

Some more details:
My device is a galaxy notes GT-N7000
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXKL8
Kernel: 2.6.35.7.N7000XXKK9-CL725676
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKL8
As I am NOT a techie, I would appreciate very much some automated solution. For example, to download and install a force-white-background-theme or some 3rd party application to do the job (paid apps are OK).
Thank you again
Saulo
I've not heard of an app or script that can do that, but the MIUI Rom (available under the android development section) has black text on white background.
Thank you Holgalee.
I still cannot find that link for that ROM, can you please point for me?
2. Do I need superuser?
Thank you again
Saulo
Just in case you didn't know, AMOLED uses less battery when displaying black than it does when displaying white, because the pixels are "off" in black and "on" in white. I suspect that's why black is the default.
I know, but for my eyes the black background it is really no more bearable. too streessful..I prefer to have my battery drained up earlier but be able to use this worthy device.

Here's a link to the MIUI ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521630
I think I may start using it myself once it integrates the new s-pen functions from the premium upgrade by Samsung!
Thank you James.
I am downloading and then feedback.
Happy Easter
That MIUI ROM does have white background, but I lose some very useful hardware functions, like camera at 1920 30fps, etc. So I cannot use it.
I heard that there are simple scripts, to switch/invert background from black to white.
But my question is: I am on a Mac Air. Can I use adb and odino and other tools on Mac Lion OSX?
Or do I need a virtual Windows machine?
Please can someone post a tutorial for Mac users?
Thanks a lot
Saulo
If you are stock you are going to have to root first and then use PC Odin to flash the repack because MIUI is ICS. Read about it in the development forum and it will show you everything step by step.
I have windows 7 on boot camp on my mac just for the purpose of using Odin. Mobile Odin, in the market, might work, but might cause SODs too.
Hallo Andrew.
I do have Windows parallels on my Mac air. If I understand correctly, on Mac Lion OSX there are NO tools available to flash and modify our Galaxy Notes. Right?
2.
Do you have some hints on how to perform a script, on galaxy notes, to change the background on most applications, such as:
- general settings
- SMS
- phone
- MMS
etc
Thank you a lot
Saulo
Just so you know, blacks will not only save (marginal) battery juice, but most importantly, it saves your AMOLED screen from dying a premature death!
AMOLED screens suffer from a phenomenon called by some as "Burn-In" so blacks became a standard (specially on the notification bar) ever since Gingerbread (or was it Froyo?) came along with AMOLED based phones (starting with the Google NEXUS One)
You can search on Google about this AMOLED problem.
That's why there is a setting in the default web browser to dim the screen or even invert the colors on the browser, to save juice and to protect the screen!
Yep! Just like those old projection TVs of the eighties!

Thank you Rayan.
I now understand...how, in fact, could everybody accept such a ugly and tiresome black background? If what you say is correct, I have to give up my search for a whote or light colour background...
By the way, (off topic): is incoming ice cream sandwich also sporting a black background?
When do we expect an official stock release?
Thank you again
Saulo
When you guys like i can port a theme in white/red.

Actually ICS AOSP is even more black, however, it has lots of blue which is known to degrade even faster than any other color on AMOLED screens! Go figure!

Guys these changes you discuss here are very very difficult to be done and they need a lot lot of work..
I know cause in my Mixed Theme for Desire HD (my previous phone) i had inverted a lot of stuff (as HTC uses white backgrounds and i wanted them black), with the help of another Great Themer he_stheone...
So it's not a script that has to be run...
You must de-compile all framework apks and many others apks...
Then you have to find inside the code (xml files) of these apks the values that refer to background color and change it to white...
But then you will have a lot lot of trubles, as you should also change the color of text from white to black, so you will be able to read the texts all over the phone (settings, popup windows, contacts, sms etc...) and this is the most difficult part as you have to find and change the color of the text in several apps that conflict with the frameworks...
And even if you manage to find and change all the texts to white color, then it begins another problem... The 3rd party apps that you download from the Market... Cause many of them might use f.e your default background (black) with it's own text color (again black)...
I'm not say it's impossible, but i say it's very difficult, it nedds a lot lot of time and very good knowledge... And i don't know if someone that has the knowledge, also has the time to do that...
So another solution is to sell your Note and buy an HTC ONE X, cause HTC uses white backgrounds with black texts
Thank you. That is exactly what I was thinking...so basically HTC does NOT use amoled, right? So it can implement the phone on whute background.
Is this correct?

HTC is not the only one with LCD screens, in fact AMOLED screens are lowest denominator out there.
I really doubt that some company would bother to change the look and feel of Android, but if you root you can go with MIUI which uses a lot of whites (reminiscent of iOS) then you'll be closer to what you are looking for, but as someone mentioned before, apps would still be as the developer intended, either black, white or whatever.

I totally agree with you sir.
I'm 26 but the black/ dark backgroudn is stressful and annoying in the long run.
Google's own apps do have whtie/ light background themselves e.g. Gmail, Google Maps etc.
I don't understand why Google don't enable us to change the background to white/ light.
A not-too-technical but not perfect solution is 1. to install a launcher e.g. Nova or Apex and 2. to install a theme that has white background (which I don't know and I'm asking around as there are thousands of them).
The system stuffs e.g. Settings will remain black though.
As for specific needs e.g. contacts, we'll have no choice but to use alternative e.g. Contact Plus app.
Good luck sir, I'm on the hunt for Nova/ Apex launcher themes with white-background

when scrolling through running processes, manage applications, as I scroll the background changes from white to the theme color (blue)
I cannot find anywhere in the theme where that background is ( in this case blue)
guessing it has to be in framework res or system

its MIUI and the Kobalt theme, I have no clue what overscroll effect means. But I would have to say no, with the knowledge I have.
Go to running processes,(or manage applications) the screen is white , as your finger scrolls the screen, it turns (in my case blue)
sorry I know all this sounds stupid, but I have about 80 hours into learning all this theming , Damn I learned how to get rid of everything on the status bar THAT was tough just cannot figure out where this background screen is
and yes I'll get some shots I am sure it will help
THANKS cannot wait to get this theme up. you will be the first I tell LOL
Are you on MIUI's latest build...2.3...? I could've answered off my head if you were on CM...just checking what MIUI build to dig into. Will also help other members reading this as well.

Yes it is. Btw I was a huge fan of CM, but damn the arguing and *****ing.....nightly builds (which I learned to skip several and wait) broke more than it fixed IMO
Still have it and still go back and forth, somewhat, , BUT I am really enjoying MIUI's "clean " UI
anyhow
tinkered alot with this one issue, and as you know, make one change, put it all together, and hmmmmm not that, so after about 20 of that I came here.
BTW gonna need somebody to test this when I am ready EVO4g, hard to believe I rooted my evo late March and I am at this point. My PC hacking days (mid 90's) have helped LOL
AND so you know I am not a kid, 55 and retired (33 years firefighter) everyone asked
whatcha gonna do with all that time.....LOL found it, for now
I could try it on my EVO for you if need be...I am on the same boat myself but with CM theme chooser. Lemme know once its ready. I will try dig into MIUI to see what I can find.
Fact about MIUI: the MIUI developers in China are implementing a new UI over the course of several weeks and some things are still buggy/half finished. This has been taking place since MIUI changed to gingerbread and anyone who's been running MIUI for a while remembers running apps in "compatibility mode" to make text appear. Graphics glitches have gotten better and better with each GB build of the ROM.
I have a theory: Since the devs began implementing these UI changes, I have also seen the effect that you are talking about, though it has decreased in frequency with every new build. It should also be noted that the color (which you described as blue) changes with whatever theme I'm running. I believe it to be a "glitch" in the UI due to lack of compatibility with certain devices or apps. The benefits of MIUI far outweigh such small glitches for me and I continue to run the ROM but that's the closest I can come to explaining the effect.

I believe your right, but my issue is......whether its the theme or the rom (your point) but hey its all fun , if you want I'll send you the theme also. I am digging this (70's) talk lol
see if I am right though, the MIUI stock rom is mostly orange, whereas the Kobalt is blue, BUT as you say ( follow me) change orange to blue and ???? I have changed several of Kobalts " backgrounds" (phone, toggles etc) to a plain blue. So maybe the stock MIUI rom is reading this light blue as a much darker blue. Make sense? What you posted does make sense to me.
Guess the only way to see all this is for me to send ya'll (southern) the theme
THANKS
Hmmm, upon re-reading the entire thread I feel as though I may have mis-interpreted your original question but yes, what you said makes perfect sense. Obviously some element of the themes is changing that background color but I'm not nearly advanced enough of a themer to begin to tell you where to look. If you were suggesting that you need someone else to run the "kobalt" theme to check for the same issue/see the color then I'm down to "dig" it, haha.

I agree what help, above and beyond, CM 3 pages of bashing I-phones HUH????
It comes from the cacheColorHint in the xml. a lot of apps have it that way but the background is the same color. do a search through the xml for cacheColorHint
Here it is
Well it is still not 100% done
so in a nutshell:
bootscreen is a re-do of cyanagen mod 7 (cannot find the original dev to give credit) took the text out and redid colors to blue
most everything else was hacked from kobalt blue
keyboard was from (i believe) honeybread theme
clock should not show up as I use a widget called make your own clock
a superb prog that puts it in text also allows battery % internal space used etc
mine is all blue to match the theme
revamped status bar as most of what was on it was redundant, use widgets on main screen ( again, make your own clock)
all I left was 3g data tx in green. Tried blue but I believe green catches ones eye quickly if no signal. bluetooth, and gps will show up in blue on status,( Side note, GPS was a ***** to do but IMO looks cool when it acquires the signal)
No wallpaper, IMO battery drain plus the blue on black looks good.
you will see I left some of Kobalts backscreens in , phone call and some others
toggle screen redone, also found a cool app that will show signal strength in dbm, no bars just text, IE. signal -98dbm, also can change to blue (this was a 4 hour project to find the one to fit the theme) it is called clarius signal. I use: one click widget, for brightness and volume. I use widget locker for my LS and have it all blue minimal text with Make your clock widget for time
Still left:
minor inconsistencies with colors ( backgrounds, static screens ETC) That is what started this thread LOL
SMS: could not find a way to alter Kobalts, gotta spend more time
Kobalts lock screen (easy to do just gotta get to it)
SO if any one wants to assist with getting more blue, jump right in, I only ask if you do, to zip it up and share. When it is all done we will share the credit
REMEMBER to change zip to mtz (for the noobs)
ENJOY ( I am at easily 100+ hours , trial and error as I go) Lots of PATIENCE
Damn just noticed 8 mb on zip upload....hmmmm gotta change game plan
This should work

Hey Friends,
I've mixed up a theme with the classic Gingerbread Icons (exept the battery).
This theme is made on the base of the "Meizu Dark theme" from natious (you will see some colors and impressions of this)
so thanks a lot.
Sorry, the screenshots are a little crap
Update:
Now I use the Installation file from Meizu Dark with the most of natious themed apks. It shut be complett. My sugestion is replace the bootanimation with the "Particel ring" and flash the themed calendar.apk from sohrab1985. Looks great.
If you don't like the Battery, you can change it with the UOT Kitchen
New Version:
add providersettings.apk from meizu Dark
add calculator.apk from meizu Dark
add settings.apk
add swipe.apk from meizu Dark
add mms.apk from meizu Dark
add contacts.apk from meizu Dark
add a few fonts from meizu Dark
Download:
http://netload.in/dateiHEfqugMCfO/GreengerBlack1.1.zip.htm
Have fun and keep it simple
Please, tell me if there any problems.
look great... testing now.
great theme but i love blue on black or white on black ... but still great theme well done
Fab I like it a lot. This'll stay installed for a while. Any chance of sticking a percentage in the battery icon?!

Use UTO kitchen to change the battery. Just go to the page, make your choise and upload the systemUI.apk (root/system/app) and the framework-res.apk (root/system/framework). UTO Kitchen works not at every option but for change the Battery does it work.
my Tab fights with Kratos
This is a great theme, thanks a lot for sharing! But I have a quick question:
Is there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for KRATOS?... just the 100% stock mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights that comes straight from Google... nothing else or modified just stock, no more no less!
Thanks for the advice.

I can try it at the Weekend but I can not do any promise. If you have other wishes or suggestions, tell me. Maybe you like 6 Bottens in the quick setting bar for example.
Btw: I'm just a expirienced user so I have no special skills to do this. I also have no original GB Themed device so I don't know how the Stock theme looks exactly but I'll do my best.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am not sure which the Quick Settings button is that you refer but its OK, the only thing basically I would like is to strip out all customizations that Samsung and the KRATOS chef did, and have a lean and plain stock Gingerbread like Ive seen n most phones. Its a pure battery-saving theme with most screens using black background and highlighted items are orange. If you can look at a few standard phones with Gingerbread in it they will all look the same kind of like this. It is actually the most simple and cleanest interface.
Anyway, thank you VERY MUCH for your interest and effort and I look forward when you have time to try it and give you feedback. I know many other members and users of the galaxy tab would appreciate having a stock Android look on their machine that has been impossible because of the changes Samsung made to their ROMs.
Danke noch einmal

HELP with some elements
Its been a while I posted on this great thread and have since then done a lot of customization on my Tab but now stuck on 5 key elements id like to know if someone can help me:
1) How do I change the background color of the Phone App? On all 5 tabs of he phone app (Dialer, Logs, Contacts, Groups, Favorites + the outgoing dialing screen itself) the background is White. I want it changed to black but dont seem to locate the file. I was successful in changing the background color to black on the incoming call screen (the files are call_incoming_bg.png and call_incoming_bg_h.png on the phone.apk and just made them black and that's it)... looks super nice. But for the outgoing calls screen and phone app itself, its all still white and I dont know where to edit or if there is a PNG file that control the background.. I dont seem to know where it is (see attachments 1 & 2)
2) I wanted to change the Missed Call icon with a custom I made that I already and use on the top taskbar, that was very easy (its the stat_notify_missed_call.png in framework-res.apk). But the same icon that's displayed in the phone's Log tab I dont seem to locate where it is and to my surprise its NOT in the phone.apk. Can someone tell me where that file is? (see attachment 3)
3) I have managed to successfully tweak many of the elements of the notification pull down menu, like giving it transparency in certain parts on bottom and top, but I cant control color or transparency of the background of the ONGOING operations that have a fixed white background and that id like to change. (see attachment 3) Equally, Id like to change the color and some of the wordings of the WIFI, BLUETOOTH, GPS, SILENT, ORIENTATION LOCK functions. Where can I edit those?
4) Where can I edit the white background color of the pop-up Power-Off menu on the tab that is white (see attachment 5)? I edited the icons easily from the framework-res.apk but dont seem to know what controls the background color..
5) Finally, which files control the blues that usually are displayed in most dialog pop-ups and dialogues? I want to change them to black and grey but have no idea where they are located and which files I should edit.
When Im all done Ill post my theme for download, I think maybe some users might like to give it a try and feedback will be welcome wither way
In advance, thanks a lot for your expert advice on all this
Hi guys ! I'using LG Optimus 7 with Mango update.
Since NoDo i have visualization problems with many apps when i apply the white background (the Light one). I explain.
When using the light background theme, many apps interfaces are almost all whites and i don't see any text or options, because they are invisible.
Look the three attached pics, the first is from Whatsapp; the second is BoxFiles for Dropbox and the third one is from MegaTile.
I used apps like Advanced Config Tool and AccentChanger (with Nodo) and i think the problem is probably caused by these apps...but i'm not sure. I know an hard reset could solve the problem but i'd prefer solve without it. From Nodo to Mango no update has solved the issue.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
The issue you describe is caused by using a custom color in addition to the light background.
This won't happen with the stock colors.
Dtboos you're the man !!!!
With stock colors all the apps work perfectly !
THX a lot, you saved me from a useless hard reset ;-)
So, no way to bypass the problem with other colours ?
Not as far as I've found. Something about the way the 10 stock colors are tied into the code. Not sure what the exact reason for the glitch is, but its only custom colors, and only with the light background.
Thanks for your reply, now i post my issue in Shapman's website forum. If i get news i keep you up to date.
The latest 4.1 update to Pocket -formerly Read It Later removed the black theme and replaced it with a grey one. As I - among many other users - prefer black over grey, both for readability as well as power usage (on AMOLED black consumes no power and thus black backgrounds are very battery friendly) I modded Pocket to be black again.
What's changed:
- article view is black with white text (in black theme)
- article list is black with white text (in black theme)
- splash screen has black background (hardcoded)
- icon has black pocket instead of red one
What's not changed:
- account setup dialog and tutorial. You only see them once so I couldn't be bothered.
- light and sepia themes are untouched
- while loading an article there might be a short moment in which the article area is all white (like in the original app). sadly I can't change that :-(
Usage:
Download the attached apk and sideload it.
I changed the package name (com.ideashower.readitlater.pro.black vs com.ideashower.readitlater.pro) so you can install this in addition to Pocket. No need to uninstall the original app first. You'll have to enter your login credentials again though.
Then in settings set the dark theme and you're good to go. 4.1.2: Also make sure the True Black option is enabled.
Future:
I'll maintain this until Pocket gets a proper dark theme.
Thank you for this - I was hoping someone talented would mod it, so thank you.

Thanks for the mod, I didn't realise Pocket had a dark theme until I saw your post
Sent from my Xperia Neo on Ics
So Pocket has just released an update (4.1.2) with a "True black" option. However their true black is not black enough for me. All it does is make the article background black, the article list is still grey and even worse, the splash screen is still white!
So until that is fixed as well there'll be Black Pocket! First post updated with Black Pocket 4.1.2.
The splash screen is fixable using a CM (t-mobile theme engine) theme, if anyone is interested in that PM me. However that one can't fix the article list background.
But I'm wondering whether everyone feels like that or it's just me? Is the official 4.1.2 (black article, grey list, white splash) good enough for you or do you prefer my all black Black Pocket?
, your version of pocket is so much better I was searching the internet exactly for this and when I found it I was elated! thank you very much and please continue to maintain this until pocket gets their act together. If it's okay with you I would like to repost this in the gnex vzw theme forum and rootzwiki? I would obviously give you the credit and link back to your work/download.
Thanks a billion for real, I run Hybryd axi0m/aokp/triage black theme and needed this!
please don't repost the APK but just link to this thread. As xda allows non-registered guests to download attachments that shouldn't pose a problem for anyone and it ensures that people get the latest version of the apk.
according to the 4.1.3 changelog one more bug should be fixed: "White flash/flicker when opening an article in the Dark Theme" However I'm still getting the white flicker, so ... FAIL!
First post updated with Black Pocket 4.1.3.apk
edit: gah, xda wouldn't let me just add the new version so i had to delete and reupload the old ones, however 4.1.2 it still doesn't want. if anyone needs that version for some reason PM me.
to annotation on saved articles
Hi, am using the regular version but i wanted to know abt few issues in Pocket app, is there any possibility of taking notes on the saved artiles, or any app which lets to take notes, annotate on the, if you can fix this would be great help for many who are using stylus phones. Please let me know if there are any other apps which have this feature....thank you
Why do I have to login again and again after quitting the app
Does anyone know if there's any way to edit elements of downloaded themes? I ask because I have one theme which I absolutely love, but there are one or two areas where the colors are less than optimal. For example, some SMS messages are almost unreadable due to the color scheme choices for the fonts + hyperlinks. Example below (as you can see the sent URL is hard to read, and the received is nearly impossible).

My device is rooted if that helps. Please let me know if more info is need or if my question is unclear.
Thanks!
Bump?

Use APKtool, decompile the theme app, make the changes that you want, re-compile the app then install the modified app.
