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!

Try this setting....Settings > Custom Settings > General Mods > Check Dialog Pop Ups User Selected after checking it hit Dialog Pop up type and change to TW Light and see if that gets you to something you can see.
Thanks for the help, sadly it didn't work I've done a little more digging and found out that the bars and sides of Instagram app is black, twitter still is and my contacts are all solid black.. If there's a way I can post screen shots without exceeding limit please let me know

Try this and see if we can get text color back. Go to settings > custom settings > colors > unlinked colors and try manually changing the text color to white and then hit restart ui and see if that at least gets your text back to where you can see it.

I'm not quite sure how to get you back as I didn't play with the color schemes extensively, just enough for me. Are you opposed to reflashing the ROM? Alliance is so vast with changing the colors it should be part of the OP that after initial flash you should back up that theme in Alliance manager that way if you have a color bork you can just install that and restart. The colors are alot of trial and error. You haven't broken anything, there's a lot to play with and sometimes you have unpleasant results.
That's what I don't get I didn't edit the colors to get this way I just came across it, but I'll keep trying until I find a solution just trial and error

Have you tried setting your theme to one of the presets? I had a similar problem (but it was because I did mess with everything right away) and setting to a different theme and back to the stock theme saved me a lot of headache. It's a good practice to backup your theme before you stray from what works though.
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.

Try holding down on the icons and moving them. If you can, remove them from the screen and re add them. If not, try disabling any xposed modules (if you have any that could effect the home screen) and look at it again. I don't personally use the touchwiz launcher and this never happened to me, so these are just guesses. Also, I noticed you have a strange colored Google app in your bottom bar. Did you do anything to the icon, and if so did you possibly break other icons while doing it?

I did factory reset my phone and still see these , is there any software to fix that or this is a hardware issue .
is this called a burn-in issue or it is called some thing else .
thanks for replying .
Are those applications actually there software wise? If not, then it would be a burn-in, where the screen has the images "burned in" and can't be removed. If they are there you could try flashing a stock tar using Odin for whatever build you want.

yes , they are software wise and if you look very good in the pic you can notice the whatsapp shadow on the screen , also I had flashed the stock.tar odin rom many times and they are still there , if this case is a burn-in issue what software would you suggest to fix because I tried all the softwares on the playstore and they didn't help .
thanks

The only other thing I can suggest is to take your phone to Verizon and see what they can do. They might have to replace it.
having same issue in MotoG3
I got this phone(MotoG3) 15 days back, it worked fine for a few days and suddenly I noticed that a "Whats app Shadow" is coming on my home-screen, it was hardly noticeable at first but then it became darker and darker, I replaced the phone thinking it might be a software issue, and got the same handset today itself, it worked fine but again as I installed whats app the same shadow problem appeared, I uninstalled it and it started to work properly. Am not sure where is the problem, so please help me out.
About the shadow issue:
The home screen of whats app appears in my wallpaper and also above all the other apps, a transparent shadow kinda thingy, I hope you people got what am trying to say.
Thank You
I also have the same issue on my redmi note 8 but in my phone i doesn't shows the shadow of the icon but but the shadow off appa inside when I use anh app
I have the same issue on my Pixel; the shadow apps aren't directly on my home screen, but when apps are opened. Perhaps due to Google system.
Handset; SGNIII
Model; SM-N9005
ROM; Stock N9005XXUENE3
Ver; 4.4.2
So the first thing is the notification font size.
I don't know why, but it's huge.
Edited density in buildprop, no change.
I installed a 3rd party app to modify.
It did the job everywhere else, except notifications.
Also sub text in settings is a bit bigger than regular.
This is all clear in the screens attached.
Q; How do I modify the notification font.
Q; How do I specifically modify the grey settings sub text.
Along the way, I've somehow acquired an S5 style settings UI.
My NIII settings - while ugly - contain my stylus settings.
Now I have none.
The S5 mod shown in screens isn't enabled.
It's also only for quick settings and recents.
I haven't made any other systemUI changes besides colour theme.
How is this possible.

This don't look one STOCK ROM of SM-N9005 with android 4.4.2 for sure or you installed some settings/appearance mods. Reflash stock rom for solve your problems.

If I wanted my ROM to look stock, I wouldn't have half a dozen mods installed to modify it's appearance, would I.
And FYI, "reflash stock" is not a blanket answer for every time you otherwise have none, you simply just don't reply at all.
Can anyone else who actually has a clue point me in the right direction to reduce the font density in notification text and the grey settings sub text?

The sizes don't look so bad - pretty normal I thought. You could try installing textdroider-dpi and see if that helps. Other than that, I'd back up all my data and do a factory reset - should get rid of the S5 theme issue.
@Wobzy try to adjust dpi for systemui using app setting and restart phone.
Greetings!
Haven't come across anything like this elsewhere. Been scouring the interwebs for solutions but to no avail. So, I decided to make another XDA account since there's always an error here in XDA when requesting for a new password, thus can't log back into my old XDA account.
So, anyone knows a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance!
NB: can't post outside links unless already got 10+ post here in XDA so no screenshots uploaded
Need more information. I've not got my S7 Edge yet but I used one in the shop and the status bar is 100% transparent, so if your new device has lost it's transparency, you must have installed something or done something to it. Have you installed a new launcher that doesn't support transparent status bar for example?
Just the Liquid Cloud live wallpaper which I have been using with my S6E+ flawlessly
That will be it then. It's probably not compatible with Marshmallow or the version of TW the S7 comes with. If you remove it or change to another wallpaper the status bar will almost certainly return to full transparency. Then see if there is an update to the wallpaper.
For the benefit of the doubt, reverted to its static wallpaper but still no changes
Reboot. Then, if no change, uninstall the live wallpaper and reboot again.
Haist! Did everything you mentioned. Still there! This is driving me nuts!
Appreciate the quick response. Think I will just commission my S6E+ back until someone got this sorted out!
Maybe, wipe cache partition? Just like what I did back then when my Samsung Pay was acting up weird which solved it
Clear launcher data and, if that doesn't work, remove the apps you have installed one by one. It's bound to be one of them.
If all else fails I presume you haven't done much on the phone yet so a factory reset is always an option. Power off, then power on with volume up and the power button to go into stock recovery. Select factory reset. You will lose everything on the phone though. I also suggest you remove any memory card just in case.
Just use nova launcher

Could it have something to do with the font change ?? you are clearly not using the default one
Clean cache and force close system ui, reboot and it should fix it!
The Status Bar turns gray when you turn on Power Saving. Turn off Power Saving and it should return to being transparent.
Power Saving ON:
Power Saving OFF:
Also, don't force close any of your UI or system elements unless you plan on rebooting. Your device will be unstable until you reboot.
Well, you've just saved me a lot of trouble! Thanks! Didn't know S7E's TW would be giving me such pain. Didn't encounter such thing on my S6E+.
Thank you for all your thoughts, guys!
Glad it's all sorted out now, bruh!
That gray status bar was really starting to p*ss me off! I used to keep my phone on power save mode all the time with Lollipop and never had that issue. Wtf Marshmallow?!

Do you have power saving turned on? I noticed on mine when its enabled the status bar looses its transparency and goes grey.
Turn off the Power saving Mode and It Goes
Xposed module Flat Style Colored bars
Xposed module, "Flat Style Colored bars" solves the problem while power saving is on.
I tried it on my note 4 and it worked. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on other phones...
