Are you trying to push with the phone on or in recovery? If you are leaving it on then you can use root explorer and go into your system and select rw at the top to make it read write. If your in recovery you could try adb shell, su, sysrw to get it read write or adb shell, su, mountsys. really depends on the rom you are running and their code for mounting system read write. or go into mount options and just mount system prolly a little quicker.

Yes I have had the phone on I did not know that it would make a difference if it was on or off. I thank you for getting back to me I am going to work now but will try this tonight thanks again.

How about changing the font color for dropdown boxes? I'm having issues finding this one. Also, is there a way to change the font color for selected tabs from default white to black when selected?

I'm assuming the dropdown box font color is one of these:

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownHint" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
<item name="textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownItem" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_light_disable_only</item>
</style>

I haven't tried it, but it would probably be one of those. Either change the color directly or point it to colors.

Is there a way to change the font color for selected tabs from the default white to black when selected?

There are two xmls for changing the tabs font colors. One is for regular tabs and one is for v4 tabs. It's stupid but there is a difference. The two xmls are in /res/color and are tab_indicator_text and tab_indicator_text_v4

I have changed those and it seems to work but some drop downs don't go off of that setting. Another thing to look at is in /res/layout/simple_dropdown_hint.xml . I believe I had to changed that one as well. Still some app developers decided to put there own static codes in but use the same images from the framework, go figure.

This may have been addressed... but I am being lazy and don't want to read 36 pages.

I did a test by editing the style.xml as in the op. Saved. Then after hitting 11... I get a big error log. What am I missing? I wasn't sure what you meant by the environment variables of the apktool.jar. Can someone explain?

Some of the errors....

S: Could not decode file...... 9.png
I: Copying assests and libs...
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
libpng error: Read Error
ERROR: Failure processing PNG image..... Etc.

I think you get the jist.

Make sure you have all the stock images in the apk or you'll receive those errors everytime.

I edit the xmls, then transfer the files after compiling.

 

[ArmyDude]

That's all I'm editing. I don't care about the png errors. The main error at the bottom....

brut.commom.BrutException: could not exec command: [appt, p, F, .........\out\AndroidManifest.xml] at brut.util.OS.exec(Unknown Source)
... 7 more.


Does it have to do with the path thing?
