In my experience, if you start setting colors and such, you better make sure that everything related to the appearance is fully specified. For example, if you set the background color to white, don't assume that the text color will be black even if that's the case on normal Android. With the new MIUI, half my list boxes were broken because some of them had custom layouts that set a white background and, in certain cases, MIUI set a white text color. So the symbolic standard Android color names, but had to actually specify an RGB color. I basically ended up copying a bunch of the statelist XML files from the Android source into my app's source.
