Does anyone know how we can change the color of the dropdown menu (qs background etc.) in a theme?
Somehow I'm not getting it with help of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-t2978121
Everytime I add a colors.xml file with
Code:
<color name="system_primary_color">#ff131313</color>
<color name="system_secondary_color">#ff212121</color>
the systemui theme asset loses its permission and it doesn't change anything, not even the navbar..

I need to change the font color of my menu (pressing the menu key in any app) to black. right now its white text on a white background.
Please if you can shed some light I would appreciate it...I can't find which file I need.
TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item in styles.xml. You can add or remove "Inversed" on the color.

I've asked a few people around the forum about this and before I go into any more detail. Take a look at the gummy rom's settings. You have a color picker for the status bar/notification bar/time/battery. Now my question is, and I'm fully aware if you edit the status bar's pngs you have to do a reboot, but is there a way to integrate multiple color pickers to change other parts of the framework via home screen font color, menu font color, notification font color, status bar colors all right from the settings with an option to reboot after selecting the chosen color and color mod changed upon reboot?
I am modding SecContacts_OSup from stock SGS4 4.4.2 and cannot figure out where the xml setting is to change the color of the text that appears above the dialpad input display when a valid area code is entered. The text block, circled in red, displays the matched text to the entered number from arrays.xml in the array named "local_name_usa". If anyone can point me to the correct xml file and line that determines the color of this text block, it would greatly appreciated. The white background image is the stock, the dark theme is my mod in it's current state.
Thanks
Found the location in colors.xml in the res/values folder:
<color name="dialpad_cityid_text">#ff2fa6c9</color>
<!-- stock value is <color name="dialpad_cityid_text">#ff484848</color> -->
Please note I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your device in case you mess something up. I have done everything written in this thread myself. But if you do not recompile the APK properly you might have to restore. So backup first.
I have made some modifications in my SystemUI and I am posting them here in case any of you might want those as well.
1. Remove S-Finder Bar from Notification Panel
Although I have seen another post on how to do that, but that method does not work right, the notification panel animation gets messed up that way.
To remove S-Finder Bar,
Simply go to system/build.prop and change
ro.product.name=xxx
to
ro.product.name=vzw
and thats it. Just restart and it will be gone.
As a side effect you will get permanent data icon even when using wifi. But it can be fixed if you want to.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and change the following files in res/drawable-xxhdpi to 1x1 transparent pngs.
i) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_disabled
ii) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_connected_disabled
And thats it. Recompile the APK and push into the system.
Now you have S Finder Bar gone with no side effect data icon.
2. Make the Recent Apps background fully transparent.
To do this, you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and look for the following line
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">
and put the following value there instead of the one written there
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">#33000000</color>
I have it set to nearly full transparent just like stock android but you can change it if you want.
Now to make the buttons background transparent as well go to drawables.xml in the same folder and look for the line
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">
change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>

5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system
I have also hidden the Semi Transparent Status Bar in stock launcher and made it fully transparent. I can post it too if someone wants that.
I have also changed status bar icons to stock lollipop and modified the lockscreen to look like stock lollipop.
Reply if you want any of those.
