Does anyone know of a way to change the menu color of BRIGHT LIGHT BLUE that is applied in a variety of places on the Fascinate?
It's kind of blinding and makes Exchange Email extra ugly.
...or, does anyone have a lead on how I might go about changing this? I can go file-diving or something myself...I just don't even know where to start.
Thanks
It's probably a value in an XML file somewhere. That's all I know. Oh, I also know it's a pain in the ass to figure out. Good luck.

There are themes on some of the other S variants. PM the folks putting them out, I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction.

First of all, has anyone had this happen?
When your on your phone, all the colors on the screen have inverted. I dont know really how to explain this unless u already know what the effect looks like. You can accually do this in photoshop. I make a so called"negative" of the pic. black become whites, and all the other colors have there own opposite on the color spectrum. Anyways, when this happens it will stay like that whether im on the home screen, goin to texting, email, internet, games, anything it stays. once the phones screen turns off and u turn back on, its back to normal. anyone know what im talkin about?
my next question is, is there a way to set ur phone to look this way all the time, either with a program or a registry edit? i think it looks so kool when it happens, and id like to keep it on there haha
please someone help
I have read that the LOCATION active icon that showed up in DJ05 is for the 'mandated' gps location feature for 911.
Could/would a dev eliminate these 2 symbols and free up the space for actual notifications?
I have read you can make them transparent, but that wouldn't free up spots, right?
an app to do these and/or more would be cool

Dunno, but themers sure can, and do.

my understanding is themers just make them transparent, which would not make those 2 spots available to other use.
do you have that many running items in your notification bar that this is a hinderance? I don't think you can rid the icon without ridding the feature... the feature calls upon an image to show, so without an image, there'd be errors... i suppose we could just make the image like 1pixel x 1pixel? that MAY(?) work?

if you have 500 million things in your status bar i "guess" this is an issue
but frankly its a framework issue...and while yes *could* i edit them out completely? sure...but frankly 99.9% of people dont care theyre transparent

You could remove the icon without removing the feature. They did it with HTC devices. You just remove the call to display the image. You just need to figure out where it is and what the call needs to do to no display the image.

I tried to get enough notifications up there to test his claims, and I couldn't.

am I wrong in thinking that would provide more positions for left side notifications?

That's why I stopped really looking at it. When the icon is transparent, the only time I have noticed a gap in the notifications is when the sync icon is there. Otherwise, it's like it never existed. I can look into it again, but I make no promises on when I will get to it or if it can be fixed.
If it would NOT provide more positions to LEFT side notifications, then I would not ask anyone to bother. If it would provide more room for them... it would seem worthwhile.
so which is it? More room or doesn't change LEFT side area size?
At most, you'd get one more position for the left side notifications.
even though it apparently takes up 2 positions?
I appreciate the info btw!

HI all,
So I'm at a loss and hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Installed Alliance ROM onto my Verizon Note 3. So far I'm quite impressed with the ability to customize so many aspects of the interface. But my noob status working with android is causing me to get confused. I'm encountering a UI element that is used in popup menus that currently is displaying white text on a light grey background (as seen in the attached images) Could someone show me where to find the adjustment to change that UI element is?
Also I was a fan of the ability to swipe and launch the camera on the Stock ROM, but I was able to set my preferred app on stock. Don't see anything listed under Default Applications, also when I look at the stock camera's App Info, the Clear defaults button is greyed out. I'm unable to choose which app I want to launch since installing this ROM. I found a workaround by setting Shortcuts to Custom and selecting my app that way, but I liked the Stock ROM's grey button as opposed to using the apps actual icon.
Thanks for any help you can send my way,
Josh
Anyone have any ideas about the grey background. I'd appreciate any help, thanks

In AllianceRom Custom Settings under Colors, go to Background -> System and you can change the background of most system apps/menus, it is a universal change but you can enable/disable apps effected in the Whitelist menu.
Thanks for the idea! I'm trying but still can't seem to get that gray background to change. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

You could try wiping cache/davlik in SS, or try flashing a theme like All Backs Black. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is wiping/flashing the rom and starting over but that seems like overkill.
From what I know, I asked the same question in the ROM thread and the answer was this is a bug they are gonna have fixed in Build 2.
Thank you so much guys for the ideas and info. I was going crazy trying different combos of settings to get it to change. I'll look into trying a theme. I was already flirting with the idea of having to try doing a full reinstallation. But if its a known bug I can deal with it, the benefits of using this ROM so outweigh the annoyance of the grey menus. Thanks again!
I'm sorry if this has been ask before..
I do work with the note 3 and was hoping that maybe I might be able to help with the T mobile Note 4.
Can someone please verify that the international variant of the note 4 has either a white contacts (dialer), phone (in call ui), mms or a dark version?
Thank you for any help.
It has a white theme.

A lot of work.. I was gonna try to invert them, but then I found that not only has samsung gone with their way of qmgs, but they also decided to screw everyone over with some type of file called astc that can't be decompiled
I found a workaround, but it's really up to you on how you use it, but...
You can set your home button to invert the colours with a triple tap. The setting is in accessibility. This is really handy when browsing the web, but not so much with "in and out" app use. I'm almost certain you can get tasker to invert apps using this method for specific apps you need inverted, and then return to normal when you exit those apps.
Ok,
This is driving me nuts. Overnight my contacts and phone colors changed by themselves. The colored tiles for each contact etc changed and they are very light colored. Almost screwed up looking. I could not find any settings to fix this. In an attempt to fix it, I updated my Essential Phone to 9.0 via OTA and the weird colors followed the update and are still there.
I tried enabling developer mode and manually putting the phone into the "dark" theme, and that still doesn't seem to fix it. What happened? Has anyone had this happen?
I can't find anything about it on google, but it looks terrible and its driving me crazy.
Attached screenshots.
material2 update, get used to it i guess, every google app and lots of mainstream 3rd party going that route

Haha :laugh:
I have the same issue - it looks like a Google update (without asking for a permission), but I did not find any fix for it so far
The only way how to get rid of those strange colors seems to be to add a picture to the contact, but do you want to do it for ALL contacts...?
Could you, please let me know if/when you will find a better solution?
Thanks,

Google ask permission,lol they are updating material design. They can and do change things you know.
Turns out they can enable this server side these days, so you could have installed the requisite update a week ago.
Use substratum
There is this https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/08/27/google-teases-dark-mode-phone-app-play-store-update-notes/ but who knows when it will be available and what it will look like with the dark mode applied.
Am I the only one who likes those new colors better ?
