[Theme] 928Droid "Black Glass" 2.2 for Froyo - Update.zip - MetaMorph - Back to Stock

[soonster]

This was probably already asked on this thread, but there's no way I can go through 84 pages right now looking for it;

Is it normal for the notification messages to have black text so you can't read it against the black background? I'm not talking about the pull-down notifications, they're white and legible. I'm talking about the scrolling messages like when you get a Gtalk/txt message and it gives you a little scrolling preview up top in the notification bar. They have black text and I can't read it. Not a big deal, but it's annoying, still.

I'm running SS 4.5 and used the specific theme for SS4.5 listed on the main page. I installed it with ClockworkMod Recovery. Everything is perfect except for the text there .

Thanks in advance! You're awesome, Dave!

Edit: Ooooh, just noticed the thread title. So I have to use metamorph to revert back to the vanilla Android theme before I apply this? I've tried using MM before, but couldn't get it to recognize a theme file for some reason. I had the standard SS/Blue theme before installing this theme. If this is true, where can I get the vanilla MM theme before I flash this?

here's the fix/patch, thanks to Dave's quick workings.

Just to clarify that update/patch ONLY includes the new Maps 4.4 and Twitter 1.0.2, nothing else inside andit wil not address the issues mentioned with Gtalk.

New updates for all Themes are coming in the next few days with some new tweaks/enhancements and I wll take a look at the GTalk notifications...but last I checked I couldn't find the right XML to fix that..so you may have to live with it for a while until I crack it. IF you see another ROM/Theme that does do the GTalk Notifications with white Text ( I haven't seen one yet) please let me know so I can quiz the Dev to see how they did it.

Cool, thanks, Dave. But with the SS 4.4 and 4.5 themes (blue ones w/ black notification bar), I'm positive that the GTalk notifications were white. So maybe Chevy will be able to help you out..?

Also, if you could show me how to change the dialer and contacts transparent background back to the opaque/black background, I'd be eternally grateful .

Thanks again for the help!

Dave, will the update for BB 0.4 include the Transparent contacts and dialer? Oh, and also the black background for MMS?

 

[otter34]

Can I use this w/ Kangerade 5.07? I am using bb 0.4 now, however swype doesn't work so I have to go back to that rom.

Taking a look at JRummy's Kanger 6.0.1 that was released tonight, may theme it this weekend if it is a stable ROM...I don't go backwards and send the time on older versions.

Did this ever get done? just curious cause I love you theme and I love J Rummy's Rom, but that white status bar has got to go, god i hate that thing. Was using UD 4.0 but way to many redraws so back to Kangerade for me.

Kangerade 6.01 hasn't been released officially yet

Ah ha! I have been wondering why I couldn't install the maps 4.4 update. Will this work on BB 0.4? Just change the name to update and flash w/ rom manager?

edit: yes

+1 Same here.

 

[mcinvaille]

Okay, a couple of quick questions: Is there a way to determine what version of 928Droid I have installed (may sound like a dumb one but I have removed the update.zip file and my old laptop is history now). Also, I am currently running BB-84bv0.4. Have there been any updates to the 928Droid Theme for this ROM or is it just he 4.4 Maps and Twitter update? Lastly, I saw your screen captures and noted the Map and noticed your near my neck of the woods: I live just south of Charlotte.

+1 I just want a white clock

You should have a white clock, I do. I just have back text on the scrolling text in the notifications bar.

 

[Jimmyzla]

What clock/weather widget are you using in the screen caps? It looks great.

Thanks.

Just for Gtalk Right????

No, it's doing it for e-mail and SMS too, actually. I use K-9 e-mail for all my e-mail accounts though. I also use Handcent for SMS.

I know all of this text was white with the standard SS 4.4/4.5 theme.

OH, now I get it,,,wish I had know that before wasting so much time...you have to modify Market apps yourself to get them to do white text with a black background in the Status/Notification, all of the Stock apps in my Theme will have white text in notifications (Market, Music, G-mail, Mesaging, etc)...for "non-stock" Market apps you are on your own with those, sorry.
