Answer 1

You can get from Android theme like this:

parent="android:Theme.Holo.Dark" to parent="android:Theme.Holo" 

And from custom you can set like this:

   <resources>
        ...
        <style name="MyCustomTheme" parent="android:style/Theme">
            <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffff0000</item>
        </style>
        ...
    </resources>
