hi guys. i need your help. i uninstalled a skin from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589899
after i installed it, i wasnt able to set any wallpaper. theres just a black background on the home tab and lockscreen. how can i fix this so i can set any wallpaper?
I think the black background is part of the theme. The theme probably has a over ride ion effect over your background and will not allow it to be changed.
Try soft reseting your HD2, if that does not help try uninstalling the theme, soft reset, reinstall the theme, soft reset again then see if you casn change the background.
Ha it is kind of funny I am having a similar problem but mine is with my laptop it will not allow my to set a different background, I can not even find the option to change it, and I bought it brand new 3 days ago. ARGHHHH

You shouldn't have to hard reset unless you just want to. If you uninstall the theme you should be able to change your background again, that is if you still have the theme installed not sure if you do or not. I think the issue has something to do with the theme you installed. If you don't have the theme installed and dtill can not set your background then a hard reset my be in your future. Sorry it is no other fix unless you want to spend the time to dig around in your registry to find the exact changes the theme made there and revert them.

There are a lot of focuscolours already for the diamond, but i would prefer to have no focus at all, or if that is not possible, just a clear transparent one.
Or since many of us still have black or white background, a black or white focus!!
thx devs.
No one?
Do you guys actually like the focus in colour whenever a button is pressed?
I dont, it doesnt look good and I always have to click ones more to get rid of it, but anyway....
I've been looking for this too, i always switch from 1 touchflo 'page' to another and back, to get rid of it. I stopped looking for this some time ago though... seems like something this simple is impossible i guess
transparent selection
try this and let me know.....i found this somewhere on the forum.

Yep, that is almost good, the problem is that it makes my topbar completely black, dont know why.
The focus is transparent
Dunno how I did it but wiped out my taskbar background. Any thoughts on fixing it?
Things I might try.
1. Change wallpaper to something different, then change it back.
2. Add new task bar then remove it.
Maybe one of those will get you back to where you need to be.

Got it thanks!
is there any way to remove the clock from the notification bar? if your have something like beautiful widgets running it looks almost stupid having 2 clocks there. or at least have the option in settings to keep the clock or remove the clock?
i can understand the other aspect of when your in applications people would like to see the time in the notification area. but i just wana see if i miss it or not.
i gave it a quick google, and most of the responses were fairly old and for different handsets. just wondering if it is possible?
im running SuperE 1.0.1 on a 32A, cheers!
something to try.
check your spareparts app (mine is ver. 2.1_update1) it has user UI tweak at the bottom.
Clock can be set to hidden. (may not work)
while your are there, make the clock color to match your status bar. In case the hide clock part didn't work. (try transparent as well)
yeah in cyanogen's latest rom he includes a modded spareparts app that lets you control this. maybe you can rip it out of his rom and put it into yours if your version isnt the same. maybe can you download it from the market as well, not sure if that version is up to date.
thanks buddy! had no idea i should even look in there =)
the hide clock option doesnt work for some reason, even after rebooting. but changing the transparency to nothing hides it.
only thing is now it leaves an ugly gap where the clock used to be lol. i need to try find a way to remove it completely!

I tried hiding mine as well one day (a week ago maybe?), and it didn't work. Then yesterday I noticed, out of the blue, there was no clock in the notification bar. LoL So it did remove it, eventually.
it works just fine you'll just have to reboot a couple times
rightly so! i was wrong before, it does work. like losinc said u just need to reboot a couple of times. the changing of colour of the clock works too. just took a few times to get it right =)
thanks for ur help guys!
i had problems changing colors in cm 5.0.7 so i updated to 5.0.8t1 and it worked at once
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
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!
Recently got the OTA update to upgrade from android 9 to 10.
I was glad to notice that it comes with miui theme manager and decided to change the default theme to available ones in theme market.
However, no matter what theme I select and apply, it automatically resets to default theme, wallpaper and lock-screen.
I did a factory reset, changed region from India to taiwan, us, uk, etc but they did not fix the issue.
Did anyone get this issue? Found any workaround?

I have noticed the same, I saw in another forum that removing the optimizations miui is fixed but what has worked best for me is to leave the themes in dark mode, if you change it to light mode it is when the theme is removed the most

I tried all these. Turned off miui optimization in developer settings. Turned on Dark mode all the time. Did not even changed the theme.
But just tried to set an wallpaper from settings -> wallpaper -> Themes -> Wallpapers. Selected wallpaper remains good for some random time and then all back to default stock green wallpaper.
I did face the same issue

No problem. I flashed Android 9 a day ago and I'm very much happy with older Android than bugged miui11.
I have discovered when you select a theme, don't should change anything, then the theme will not restart and wallpaper keep, the bad thing is you can't put other wallpaper or font :/
When changing a theme are you able to get rid of the green accents? I'm not a fan of green and I'm curious if this is possible on this phone.
Many thanks!

Yes, there are some themes that change those tones, you just have to look for one and try it or you can install one shade, it is in the play store
Is there anyway you can attach a screenshot of how it changes it? I'm just really curious she many thanks for the response!
