I'm not sure what you mean by charging menu.
Reboot Menu = the popup when you long press the power button?
My Setting app is white text on black, I think it has been in all the ROMs so I'm not sure what you need there.
Widgets menu = when you long press on the home screen?
The Browser operates the same after the changes, just when you hit the menu button you get the white text (hopefully on a darker background ;-) ), I think the menu thing is a global setting whenever you hit the menu button.
If I still not understanding you maybe you can post some screen shots?
Those are the same edits I made. I did get errors trying to recompile some different framework-res apks the one I had luck with is the one from Mioze7Ae's bugfix3metamorph patch. Once I got that to boot I used ZipThemer & a morph to chage everything else. I'll attach the framework-res I built in case you want to check it out just note that it has the white text but still has the light menu backgrounds so its very hard to read.

Yes exactly!
Charging menu = USB menu when you look and different choices for USB connection
Took those from google... was alot easyer...
I need all that text to be white....

all night all i get are bootloops and frustrated!!!!!!!

I'm still trying but haven't had any luck yet either.

I keep hitting the HOLD BUTTON on free x10.

Hello,
Is there any way to get rid of that ******* hold button on freex10 . i have pressed it like numerous times and it wont take long before i really bang my head on the wall .
Can we replace the phone apk ( i dont know what it is really called , Dialer app?)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Two things, is the proximity sensor on the phone working? IE, does the phone screen black out when u put it up to your face?? If NOT, that is the main issue.
Two, you can go into settings and change the layout of the dialer for left or right handed and move the hold button away from your face!
Hope this helps,
Chris

Still should be there on 2.2 roms, phone settings, scroll to bottom of the page, left handed option?? Hmmmm, not sure what dialers are in the market, my wife used an ed hardy themed dialer, but that was on 2.1fw... might be an option?

I did check many a times ... i don't have this option . don't know why.. and think there is no way to over-ride the stock dialer app which shows ON-CALL . i am i wrong here ?( i wish i am )
and why is my right handed/left handed setting is missing ? "confused"
Haven't run z's rom since first beta, but on other aosp based 2.2's its there n on my 6.1.1cm rom I just looked it up..... hmmm, I am stumped... hit android market, should have a dialer option or two!!
Sent from my xperia using XDA App
i can CONFIRM that the settings ARE in FreeX10 Beta 4.
Go to your homescreens -->> press menu -->> settings -->> call settings -->> check left-hand mode (2nd last before "other call settings") -->> reboot
I have the same problem with the same rom. Yesterday I lost half of my story because of this . Changing the settings is not an option because I tend to switch sides a lot during a call. Might try another dialer.

What PNG file changes the background of the menu selection? When I hit the menu button on the home screen, or any apps, I get a white background w white font, n I didn't change any to that combo. Also, a few boxes are surrounded w a grainy blur, do I need to convert them or something?
The pgn's for the menu that pops up when you press the menu key on the phone are in framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
menu_background.9.apk
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_separator.9.png
If you want to change the background on that menu to black these should work. I ziped all three png's and attached them. The zip only has three png's in it. It is NOT flashable...

Hi! I've an answer for you!!
The popup you're talking about is called OptionsMenu. In framework-res.apk, under drawable mdpi/hdpi, there are two PNGs, named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png. The 1st one stands for the popups in setttings, and other apps. And the secon stands for launcherapp, etc. Change these PNGs with your's...................
Hope it helps........

[Q] TouchWiz 5 Home Screen Dock problems

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
Go into your app drawer.
Menu>Edit
Drag the Chrome icon down to the dock.

Thanks for your reply but I have tried that...the dock area only changes to for different Icon that you can drag your chosen icon onto in order to perform a function. these are from left to right "Create Folder" "New Page" "File Info" & "Delete"
Have you tried to hold on the Chrome Icon in the App drawer and put it on the home screen, THEN drag it to the empty space on the dock?

Yes I have and I get then get the same options expect it has text with each one i.e. *Icon with text"Create Folder" * *Icon with text "New Page"* etc
Has to be a step you are missing. I just tried it and it's working fine.

THanks for your help.... OK so here is what I do.
1) Unlock -> touch App Draw Icon. (Icon that says Apps with 16 little white squares)then I am on my last page/screen where I have a lonesome Chrome Icon.
2)Then I touch the Menu button (the glowing white button left of the physical home button).
3)Touch Edit (from the pop up menu *Edit with the pencil icon next to it)
4)The Page now has <::: Edit |Cancel|Save along the top of the screen under the notification bar. and no dock or anything at the bottom except for 6 . . . . . . white dots which represent my 6 screens.
5) Touch the Chrome Icon and drag downwards, but as soon as I press and hold the icon to drag at the bottom of the screen 4 icons appear that represent the function I described in my previous reply.
Please tell me I did something wrong. It should be so easy. Thanks btw.
1. Click on the App Drawer Icon
2. Press and hold on the Chrome Icon (that will move it to your desktop)
3. Now find it on your homescreen and press and hold it and drag it down to the empty space on the dock.
That's all there is to it.

Have you found the solution?
Hi,
I'm having the same problem, I was wondering if you've found the solution.
Also, since recently I'm having chrging problems with my S3 - sometimes it will charge, sometimes not - USB or Wall charger.
I tend to think these problems were introduced with latest software update.
I did factory reset, but problems still there.
Cheers.

TouchWiz used to allow me to follow the earlier procedure (it's how I docked "Maps" icon). This was back when I could also just drag and drop icons on the pages at will.
However there was an update from my telco (Telstra) and after that TouchWiz (as version 4.0.4) no longer allows changing of the bottom 'docked' row of icons. Even dragging and dropping icons generally is disabled it now requires use of the context menu to select "Edit page", first. The problem with that approach is that edit mode hides the dock row and replaces it with the icons "Create folder | Create page | App info | Delete". See attached screenshot.
So now I'm stuck with the useless blue-globe icon forever showing on my page, instead of being able to replace it with the very useful Chrome icon. Maybe Samsung did it accidentally (are they even the ones that develop TouchWiz?).
PS: If Micro$oft blocked the use of an alternate browsers, there would be loud screams of monopoly and anti-trust...
i to am also having the same problems, i am running stock Samsung Jelly Bean OS with a touchwiz home version 4.1.1. hope someone can find a way to fix this and to get our freedom back in it

Apparently this problem only effects Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
I found this solution:
you need to have root access (which is available on the xda forums)
you can unlock the dock icon edit function by going to /system/csc/other.xml and find
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>​
Tried it using ex file explorer editor but nothing happened, restarted the device and the setting had reverted back to its original state, might have to do an adb push but the adb version I have installed is apparently outdated (keeps telling me the device is offline) so I'd need to update adb first
If anyone can give it a try to see if it actually works on rooted 4.2.2 with stock touchwiz, it would be really appreciated

Of course! Please see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XugyoEELVlI
easiest way is this
press your menu key on your device and select advanced
you want the part that says lock or unlock widgets,if it says locked click it to unlock
once unlocked go to your home screen and long press the screen,this will bring up the configure,resize,remove,press configure
choose the text you want to change colour for ,click the style tab at bottom of page then simply select text coloor and choose the colour you want.
Hope that helps,I find reading it easier than watching a video
