Answer 1

I needed to do it programmatically, after digging for a little while I finally found this solution (tested on Kitkat & Marshmallow), I'll just post it in case it helps someone:

public static void setAppCompatCheckBoxColors(final AppCompatCheckBox _checkbox, final int _uncheckedColor, final int _checkedColor) {
    int[][] states = new int[][]{new int[]{-android.R.attr.state_checked}, new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked}};
    int[] colors = new int[]{_uncheckedColor, _checkedColor};
    _checkbox.setSupportButtonTintList(new ColorStateList(states, colors));
}
