[Q] [N2E] A lot of text is missing in the non-B&N UI - Nook Touch Android Development

Hi Nook developers,
I rooted my Nook STR using Touchnooter and almost everything works fine (finally Sudoku on my Nook! ) but one thing bothers me.
In some Apps and System settings etc. the text of some things is just missing.
Examples include the market (I can search it fine with Search Market) where I can't see the application details, the ADW.Launcher settings (I can see the icons but not the text) and the calendar.
I thought there is some color the nook wrongly translates to white, but as it turns out...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...DDMS sees it as white too.
Is this some known glitch I somehow haven't read about, or am I the only one experiencing this?

I have some of those, only on menus (but not on the 2nd page menus). Haven't heard of something to improve this... Most menus are try-and-error...

it is very annoying, I have same problem, it would be nice if someone could answer

same problem here, lots of problems with menus in all programs. Any fix would be great!

Maybe a modification of the theme would fix it ...
If someone is able to do it, it could be useful

+1. I don't know that I have it on all the screens you show, but it is on a lot of mine as well. Running TouchNooter 2.1.31 over Nook 1.1.0.
Does anyone know where to go/what tools to use to modify the theme?
I also have a problem with a lot of popup text (e.g., in the XKCD browser, "Hint" function) being invisible. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24486593

themeing gurus: random background?

I have a few backgrounds that I'd like to rotate with the same homescreen. Is there a way (scripting maybe?) to rotate the background? Even if it's once per day or something. tried looking for something that'd do this or a way to do it and so far have come up empty.
I found a program called ThemeChanger that will rotate a background, except I've noticed is that although the default background (as configured in the theme xml file) works flawlessly, if I go through Start>Settings>Background and select another background image that I created (using the same exact detentions) the backgound is positioned directly above the bottom mru plugin. Also, the background to the mru is white, which looks horrible. I've tried setting the bgcolor to black, but that didn't seem to work. Here's an example:
Homepage using "Default" in Start>Settings>Background, displaying the images configured in the xml file:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Homepage using alternate background image as set in Start>Settings>Background. Notice how the highlighted areas no longer match up with the information.. the image is positioned from the bottom, above the mru.
Yes, I have a thing for guys in ties.
Thanks!
bump. anyone?
WM6/Rogers fixed the issue. Yay.

[HELP] [MOD] Transparent OVERLAY notification bar?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to mod my i9100 S2, running on cm10.1, by making the notification bar transparent (I have seen methods of this) BUT also overlaying the applications, such that the applications run like they're on full screen mode but the notification icons (no black bar) are overlaying apps. Currently, I am using THIS guide to hide the bar altogether so that I can have a full screen experience with a functioning notification/quick settings but I would rather if I can see the icons etc without the black bar and loss of screen available to apps.
A rough idea of what I want, I can use Photoshop to create a better example if needed:
What stock is like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I am trying to get:
(The yellow/orange is the space taken by an application)
Hope you liked my art and, probably more importantly, understand what I am after.
All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Andriod market
Hi,
We are a Web Hosting company in Iran and we want to run an "Android APP Store".
Do you (does anybody know) know good open source software so we can customize it for our local market?
Or do you know a company that sells these services (or software)?
Unrelated comment is unrelated. Seems like my request is nothing short of new, but can someone give me a hand?

[R] A better multitasking concept

Hello devs & m8 users! I've got a question to you.
After moving from 4.4 to lollipop I was frustrated to its multitasking scrolling slides. After a month I'm almost got used to it, but have a concept of how it could be slightly better.
Since sense5 HTC got a very neat multitasking feature with the windows of running apps composed in a grid:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It was great to use your phone on the go, not going to many moves
Today using lollipop slides it is sometimes very hard to find the exact app you need - most of the card slides are used by chrome windows, or a mess of ungrouped apps. So I thought it would be great to compose them in single "slide cards folder" - you just simply swipe from left to right, browsing through them, the way HTC realised the whole multitask in sense4:
It is also possible to combine other apps in "slide folders" with their lables related to google play - for example a photo "folder" where apps like "pixlr, instagram, snapseed..." are held, email progs - another "folder" to slide", games, sports... etc.
I believe that this raw concept can bring an order to the mess of opened proramms & give people more user-friendly experince.
What do you think about this thing, guys? And is this even possible to code?

Strange new icon backgrounds?

After updating to Android 7.0 Nougat on my G5 (LG LS992) all my app icons changed. See attached picture for examples. The LG apps that come installed by default got simple, unique, all white backgrounds(the phone, contacts, and messenger icons at the bottom). User installed apps get one of seven new, all white backgrounds. I place one of each background type on example picture. Some of the backgrounds seem to be in the shape of a letter. There is no discernable pattern to what apps get what backgrounds and I can't find any information about these changes anywhere, no one else seems to be talking about it. Is anyone else seeing this?

I had that same problem and it was driving me nuts because it actually showed those icon labels behind the custom icon pack I was using. I was able to change it by changing the group of icons I wanted to use. I think I did it in Nova Launcher's settings. So if you're using a 3rd party home screen, check to see if you can change it there to Marshmallow's icons, or the system default or something.

Problem "Reminders" "customize" Google Discover -feed- disabled

1416/5000
Best regards!
I come to your wisdom when I run out of resources to solve my problem ...
I have always been a great follower of Google and I like to use a lot of the things they implement. In this case, google feed, discover, however you know it.
What's going on? When I slide to the left on the desk, the "white" screen remains, as it never updates or shows any of the news, which is very strange to me, because I remember that before I showed it, even in other devices that I had before the pixel. ... investigating to give solution, one of the things that are mentioned, from the google itself is to do this:
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Google app.
Touch Menu Menu and then Personalize.
Choose the themes you want to add or delete:
However, what a surprise I found to see that this option to customize it has been disabled, as well as the option of reminders, and even though I searched, even in English, I have not found information about it to enable these options.
Maybe one of you has gone through this same experience? Any possible solution?
I will be very grateful with any answer that contributes to my solution,
A hug.
P.S.
