White Background on MIUI Android 2.3

[JohnH]

Thanks for fixing that so swiftly. I can confirm all OK is now at the PC end with 5.0.1.

Something must have broken in the process as all the entries have now vanished from the Android Calendar for no obvious reason, but I will try unsyncing from Google and re-importing from EPIM. Is there a way of telling EPIM to re-send everything?

[edit] This is weird.
No Android Calendar entries.
Went into Menu /More / Calendars and changed the <me>@gmail.com calendar from synced,visible to not synced, not visible & Ok'ed.
No Android Calendar entries.
Ran EPIM 1.3.3 PC Sync - it took longer than normal.
Went back into Menu /More / Calendars and there were two other calendars one called Holidays? and one called Birthdays?, but they vanished almost immediately leaving just the <me>@gmail.com calendar still not synced, not visible.
No Android Calendar entries, but a lot of activity in the rotating circle top right as if something was happening - waited.

I now have two entries on the Android Calendar for each EPIM entry on the PC.

I'm obviously not driving this correctly. I have it set NOT to delete at all at either end so that I don't lose everything, but sometimes entries vanish for seemingly no good reason and equally mysteriously re-appear.

Happy to play with this and test anything you want.

Yes, just clear up the Android synchronization data form File->Database Management..

Weird, indeed. Will check on our side. Thanks!

Lenovo device 70. Android 2.3.5, not MIUI. Also, white background, the text is unreadable. The text is only visible if you look from the side. Topics tried to change, does not help. Program is great, but with a white background can not use it.

I'm a newbie to the Android platform and I'm trying to fix a bug in my copy of Monitor.apk so that it says Today, Month, Last Month rather than Today, Week, Month. I can extract and modify but it won't re-build (yet), so as I can decompile apks ...

Decompiling the 1.3.5 apk I can see that /res/values/styles.xml contains

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="treeViewListStyle" parent="@android:attr/listViewStyle">
        <item name="android:background">@android:color/white</item>
        <item name="android:divider">@drawable/divider</item>
    </style>
    <style name="NoShadow" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
        <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    </style>
    <style name="Holo" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo" />
    <style name="NoTitleBar" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

and that looks like background=white to me, any reason why it couldn't be @android:color/black ?

Also, comparing 1.3.3. with 1.3.5 you seem to have truncated the td_weekdays_full names in res/values-cs/arrays.xml

Code: Select all

<string-array name="td_weekdays_full">
  <item>Po</item> 
  <item>Út</item> 
  <item>St</item> 
  <item>Čt</item> 
  <item>Pá</item> 
  <item>So</item> 
  <item>Ne</item> 
  </string-array>

Something has changed on 1.3.5 and the 2 created Calendars ( Contact's Birthdays and UK Holidays ) seem to be permanently visible rather than vanishing after a few minutes. This is good. Many thanks.

Thanks for the screenshots. Will see what we can do.

The new update the first page is clearly visible, the background is black. Passwords are perfectly visible on a black background. In the notes, and ToDo background is still white. Thank you that is working to remove the white background.

[admin]

Thanks for the feedback, will try to fix the rest of white backgrounds, as well.
