Removing activity background gradient in holo theme. Throwing SIGSEGV like crazy
<p>So, my app has the android:hardwareAccelerated="true" flag in its manifest, and I also set it to use the Holo Dark theme for my main activity: </p>

<p>android:theme="@style/Theme.NoTitle" </p>

<p>My style file (for API Lvl > 11):</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowContentOverlay"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>There are no issues with the above style file, however I still get that dark blue/grey gradient activity background used in the Holo theme. So, based on the documentation, I change my style file by adding the windowBackground property:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowContentOverlay"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowBackground"&gt;@android:color/black&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>This works, in the sense that it replaces the Holo background gradient with a solid black color. But my app will randomnly start throwing SIGNAL 11 SIGSEGV crashes left and right. My app is rock solid and reliable until I make this simple change.</p>

<p>I've also tried setting the window background to transparent and I get the same issue.</p>

<p>Is there any way of changing the activity background in a holo themed application without it crashing like crazy?</p>
