I'm trying to change the status/top bar of a CM7 theme using UOT Kitchen. The first time I ever attempted this was last night. Followed the instructions step by step; everything was good. But when I flashed it, nothing changed.
My question is, when uploading files to UOT it says for GB Rom's upload the framework and system apk. For CM7 Roms just upload the theme apk i.e. Cyanbread. Seeing how CM7 is GB thats where I'm confused. Should I upload just the theme apk or the framework and system apks? Or should I upload them all?

I read somewhere else that UOT might not be updated yet for 2.3.5 Gingerbread like the latest AOSP roms are running.

I only theme out my framework-res.apk and my SystemUI.apk. The SystemUI.apk is the stock look that you get on Gingerbread without any modifications. If you unzip if with 7zip you'll see what I mean. I've never flashed it into a live/booted rom. I modify my files pngs mostly and let the kitchen do the hard work (the files I still don't understand), then replace the SystemUI.apk and the framework-res.apk into the CMupdate.zip file. There is probably a more preferable way to do it, but I don't switch themes a lot (and the theme chooser doesn't theme everything I need anyway)
I know this way will work as I've gotten my edits into these today/yesterday

Is there a way to get uot themes working on stock deodexed blur? I've got the 2.1.1 FR sbf flashed and don't want to install any p-roms. I tried it once and uot does say it works on stock roms but I couldn't get it working.

U could adb pull the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, theme it, then push it back. This requires root though as would all methods of changing system files

Did you upload your framework-res.apk to UOT?
i dont think you even need to be de odexed to use the majority of features in theme kitchen as framework-res.apk doesnt have an .odex file (at least for me it didnt on stock 2.1.1 sbf) so you can just upload your apk, choose your mods, and then it gives you a zip to flash with cwm, make sure you check the amend scripting box as otherwise it wont flash

What steps are you following in trying to get the UOT themes on your phone?
I would like to transfer the theme from one rom to another. I will be transferring Scott's Developer edition theme from his Cleanrom Developer edition to a stock deodex'd rom. Is there any way to do this? I have little experience with themeing roms but I can follow directions pretty good.
isn't cleanrom pretty much a stock rom?

it can be as simple as pushing the specific apps into your phone but it isnt most of the time...
devs make loads of modifications and such so usually isnt as simple
but id suggest you check out tutorials about themeing and the intro to themeing thread

Thanks, it looks like it is going to be complicated.
call me crazy but I *think* the blue theme from the dev edition is actually a skin defaulted by the ROM, called blu bugaloo or something? see if there's an apk in /system/app for that ROM, put it into the same place for the ROM you want, it should just show up in your skin options, apply it? you could also ask scott, he's a good dev and quite helpful

Yes that theme file is part of it but I dont think it changes everything. I have asked Scott and he has been helping me quite a bit, but I don't want to bug him either . He told me to ask on his forum too but I already had this topic open...

the skin is basically fusion.apk, to get any other themed items from a ROM, you could pull out these and use them in your new ROM:
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/app/Rosie.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/htc.resources.apk
/system/app/dialer.apk (only if the dialer is themed)
/system/app/phone.apk (same ^^^)

This has worked for everything but the GPS icon. The icon is still stock and visible even when disabled. Scott's rom has replaced the GPS icon and made it invisible when GPS was turned off. Any ideas?
you can replace the gps on icon with one that has been made transparent, but without being able to use pc at the moment cant tell you where its at. i think in either systemui or framework-res

that's in systemUI.apk - maybe try pulling it again from where you want and install it to /system/app of your new ROM. It sounds like you're missing it?

I tried copying the systemui from Scott's rom to the stock rom and flashing it, but it doesn't make a difference. I verified that the same images from Scott's rom are in the rom I just flashed, as I can view them with root explorer. It still shows stock though.
The three custom image files for the gps icon in scotts rom are:
stat_sys_gps_acquiring
stat_sys_gps_acquiring1
stat_sys_gps_acquiring2
However, the rom is ignoring these files and instead using:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
sym_gpsone_0_vzw
These three files are the stock white sense crosshair icons.
This is a view of the files from SystemUI.apk res\drawable-hdpi
The three blue icons are the ones I want to use.
That was small, here is a bigger version:

if you have 7zip you can open the apk with the images you want, copy them to your desktop, rename them to the name the new rom uses, then paste or drag them into the new apk (opened with 7zip), by the way, I think/hope you're off one png name, no way is a sprint rom using a vzw png lol
I was wrong, it is only using two files:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
One is GPS active and one is GPS off.
I dont think renaming it is the issue. I have tried copying the entire systemUI.apk folder from Scott's rom over to the stock rom, and it still does the same thing. The default icons are also present in Scott's rom, just not used.
My next question is, what file (XML file?) references these files?

-trust me, pull the 3 images you want out of his sysUI using 7zip
-rename from stat_blah_acquire_0
to sym_sprint_gps_blah_0
-repeat steps for other pngs
-open up new rom sysui with 7zip
-paste in renamed pngs
-push modded apk to phone or flash it
I was just wondering if it's possible to use the UOT Kitchen to get a transparent status bar.
I've used the kitchen with CM7 themes, and have never had an issue.
I'm running the stock 2.3.6 ROM, and I can't find anywhere on the site saying wether or not it's possible.
I tried by going throught the proper steps, and uploading the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk, and then flashing the zip the kitchen built me, but it changed nothing.
Anyone managed any level of success with a stock ROM?

Yes, I have used it before, I know this.
I think my problem is that transparency isn't supported in stock odexed ROMs, and that I need to deodex before it will work
Hello,
So, this is not really a theme as it cannot be "applied" : main apk`s are modded (framework-res, contacts, mms, phone, settings, systemUI, AccountAndSyncSettings).
!! Warnings !! :
1- Locales availables are EN, PT and FR, the others are deleted.
2- Made with cm7 nightly of august 12 2012, so it's compatible with neutrino 2.9. But if you're running Official cm7 you can have trouble.
3- Make a full backup before tryieng to flash this !
Some screenshots of this flashy carnival like theme : here
Cwm flashable Apk's : here
Option 1: fonts
Option 2 : RedCarrier (carrier name that appears in lockscreen / it's white by default)
OPtion 3 : Bootanimation made from NexusQ video.
Hope some people will like it. :silly: :laugh:
Why not make a metamorph theme? That way you can elliminate at least two of your three warnings, and it will possibly be compatible with other ROMs too.
I know ... but absolutely all the png are modified (some xml too) and it will be a big job to rename all of them. Or not ?
You don't have to rename anything. Basically you just extract all the png/xml from apks/jars, put files from each apk/jar in its own folder, create a xml file describing the theme, and pack it all into a ZIP.
Seems Like a Good Idea.

" create a xml file describing the theme" : i think this one will hurt in terms of time ...
Do you know a good tutorial ? I will have a look if some people like the theme.
thx.
Sorry, I don't know of any tutorials (although some might exist). I normally just take an existing theme and adapt its XML.
It shouldn't be a problem modifying an existing XML, the file is pretty simple and straightforward.

No need of theme engine.
did you install CM7Night12.08.ApkAstrakanSkin.CWM.zip ?
If yes and assuming you are on stock neutrino 2.9 rom ... there is possibly a problem with my install script ... I going to verify.
yup ... it was a bul**** in my script ...
I'm re-uploading ...
Done. You can download and try again.
Sorry !
Thank-you and as I am sure you know you are right I am on neutrino 2.9 ....I will redownload now.
Yes it works and looks great....I needed something vivid as I work outside.

Hi guys!
I need stock ui's (frameworks) mod of Xperia Pro. These ui's can be GB, ICS or JB. I want these ui's for the Keyboard letter case visibles. All custom roms ui's don't have case view, only stock roms ui's have this.
I can't make own ui. If you can not give me these ui's flashable zip file, show me how to export ui from stock firmwares....
Sorry for my English.
It's under /system/apps/SystemUI.apk

Edit: I took stock GB's SystemUI.apk file.
SystemUI.apk is just the status bar not the whole OS UI
framework-res.apk holds the thing you want
Oops... Looks like I read the thread wrongly.
Framework-res.apk can be found in /system/framework

Thanks guys! I will try it.
I tried with as:
First, copied framework-res.apk from official Xperia Pro's ICS firmware to my desktop.
Than I downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147958, and opened zip with 7-zip and replaced rom's framework-res.apk file with stock file.
After than, flashed modified rom's zip, everything completed successfully.
After flashing, I rebooted my phone. After reboot, the animated boot logo not gone for 10 minitues. So my phone not booted successfully.
The result is fail
It will not work because you are trying to use ICS framework on JB :silly:
The two are not compatible with one another.
