Will flash fine. Just replace the update binary with the one from the ROM you have on your phone.
i have used it 6 times on the atrix, twice on kennethpens gb leak and 4 times using cherrypi.
follow the directions in the uot and all should be good. you will run into recovery error (Status 0) while flashing it so to save you some time there is a workaround in the uot how to section:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
Click to expand...

so yea unzip the uot file and replace the update-binary file in uot file with the one in your rom then zip it and flash should work like a charm. CaelanT said the same thing above but i just wanted to be clear.
using alien 4 i can't get it to work.
i've used the alien 4 theme files, and replace the update binary with the one found in that theme, and with the one found in the alien 4 rom. no luck..
i also used the files from the alien 4 rom, and replaced the update binary with the one in the rom. no luck..
every time i get error 0. this was the same issue on alien 2. never tried alien 3 but i assume it wouldn't be much different

upload the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from the rom zip your on (build 4) create the theme, download it, unzip it and replace the update binary with your roms then rezip it and name it whatever you want. i have done this with at(honeycomb)rix rom that iam on with 3 different themes i have made and they all worked.
I've done exactly that 5 or 6 times.. am I missing something simple like one of the options to the left on the upload page..
How are you zipping the files up after changing the update binary?
Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
I just made one last night for the first time. I dis t unzip my file from UOT. I had unzipped the alien 4 rom to upload the frameworks so I just grabbed the updater file and put it where it goes via windows explorer... it worked without issue.

i'm on ubuntu. the first time i just dragged the update binary into archive manager. then i tried unzipping the uot, replacing the update binary, then zipping the 4 folders by selecting them, and using right click>compress so it would look like the original archive. still error 0

Unzip
Replace update binary
Install 7-Zip
Select all files and right click them
From dropdown select 7-Zip > Add to archive
Set archive format to 'zip' and compression to 'store'
Click OK
<edit> Oh, wait.........I don't know Ubuntu. Is there a 7-zip version for this?
Doesn't look like it. The problem could be the way you are re-zipping the files.
well what i did is reflash the rom (alien 4) and not install the alien 4 theme. then i did exactly what the site says to do and it worked fine. so apparently trying to mod the alien theme, or overwrite the alien theme with uot framework just doesn't work. hell if i know why, nor do i care. it works! =D
Anyone have any idea why my battery icons didn't work? Everything else works... well acutually not the 5 bar signal bar and 4G icon but that's because they probably weren't in the icon set I picked. But I chose a rather stock looking battery icon with a different color scheme and it still shows up as green?
I'm running Alien4 without the theme, I even did Notach's 1% Battery Mod and no Carrier mod but when I re-applied my UOT theme it of course over-wrote it.
I assume I just need to use that systemui.apk and framework.res and then make my modifications?

They have a remedy for that on their site:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. unzip your rom and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. put this file in UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
Workaround worked very well...but the issue is still there..
I couldn"t see the theme in the theme chooser list...
Wiped cache ,Dalvik Cache but no good...
Any help..please....
Don't know the issue but now I could see the theme in list..by flashing the file today...
Thanks all...

I believe it will only appear in Theme Chooser if it's an AKP File that you install flashing through recovery just apply the theme but won't appear in theme chooser.
I had a similar problem, but the thing is, it is there. It is really tiny and squeezed between two other themes ( you can see which by looking at the count, when it suddenly jumps to up, you have passed it). It still works well when you've applied it though
Did you installed or flashed the new theme..coz flashing solved my problem.

So guys did everything and downloaded the UOT I created. When trying to install it as a zip I had an issue. When I went to install zip from sd card it showed the UOT file but when I clicked on it, it just opened up in to 4 further folders. The system and meta and all that. So then I went to install zip from internal sd card and it appeared to work however it said status 0 and installation aborted... Whats going on?
Edit: Saw the workaround where you put the binary file in the UOT Zip, did so and now I get the "Bad error."
Everything is good thanks guys
I don't have any experience with UOT kitchen, but I do know update zips. After you placed the binary in the zip, did you resign it? Not doing so may be your problem.
Resign it? Sorry Im not sure what these means, still kind of amateur? Can you explain hah

By default our recovery doesn't check if the zip is signed, so this probably isn't the problem.
Alright. I pm'd the link to my buddy so he could see if the file is okay, so ill let you guys know if its okay.

I'm having the same issue, what did you do to correct it? I've tried the binary and resigning it.
Anyone else know who to get files cooked from the kitchen scripted for Eclipse v.0.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
If you do not know what UOT Kitchen is, just google is... its phuckin awesom, you can change anything on your phone from the boot ani to battery icon, black status bar, noto icons, pull down bars ... tons of crap.... just not sure why the scripts wont work.

Yeah thanks guys, sorry I didnt get on to say I fixed it.. But I already installed a new UOT, and Im having another problem! lol. I installed a uot and when I did it just says installing update...and doesnt change.
My ROM does not have an update-binary.....
I have made progress though.. Seems like the battery mod was conflicting with the CRT animation.
I was able to cook a moded black status bar with some tweaks.....
Anyway to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the stock status bar? it bleeds threw....
Also... have trouble with boot animation..... it will not flash no mater what I try.
Its located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
the flashable zip from UOT gives an systax error.... can I just manualy delete the old bootain and copy the new one pulled from the UOT Zip?
Can I do this with a root explorer? or do I need to do ADB?
**EDIT** I was able to delete system/media/bootanimation.zip and put the new "Bios Boot" one there... boots up like an old PC... its awesom... now if I can get the status bar overlap fixxed... and icons and battery

Where do I find SystemUI.apk?
EDIT: Durp! Found it...
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the color of the text in pop up menus. It's ruining my theme. Any help?
Hi there! I tried to mod the appearance of my phone using the UOT Kitchen. But am stuck after creating my UOT ZIP file. I assumed we have to flash the UOT Zip file using CWM Recovery mode. I tried that, and it fails to install the zipped files due to a "signature error". Any idea how to fix this?
The UOT Kitchen site does give a workaround to this problem, saying in case of error, we can manually replace the META-INF file zipped inside the UOT file with the Meta-Inf file which can be extracted from the phone's ROM. I am on KF3 Rooted, and extracting the KF3 ROM only gives some Bin files......so my problem is how to find the original META-INF file? Anyone knows this?
So no one has used the UOT Kitchen mods for their SGS II here? No answers?
Do you have a link to the UOT Kitchen thread?
Hi, Johncmolyneux. Thanks for your reply. Yes, now I have it and have posted my question there also. But that thread has 426 pages and am not sure how soon I'll get a reply there. So I'm hoping someone may see my query here also and reply. So waiting for a useful answer on either of these threads now. Thanks.
I installed a UOT Kitchen Mod, my 1st time
I probably did something wrong...unless they just don't work but I doubt that because one or 2 of the options are for SGS2 specific roms
Anyways, I got stuck in boot loop and had to restore everything
I might try again later when I have more info about it
i am using the uot kitchen online without any issues. uploading files that they need. always work like a charm!
I have used uot kitchen with both stock, vr and cm7, almost always worked perfect, had to untick generate preview for theme closer for cm7 though.

do it here mate
http://uot.dakra.lt/
and upload
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
twframework-res.apk
pick what ever u want...if your rom supports costum bootanimation u can do that 2. but the lockscreens aint working anyway enough to make the ROM diferent
as said a few post up; always upload framework-res.apk , systemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk when generating a theme with UOT Kitchen.
Also DO NOT forget to always wipe cache and dalvik-cache in CWM prior to apply the generated zip (wipe cache, dalvik-cache then flash the zip, and after that reboot ).
a few selected set of icons sometimes not apply properly with our SGS2 (kalagas mainly is a bit tricky for that )
if manually correcting the unchanged images is outside of your possibilities, ask in the UOT thread, they are generally really helpfull and Mendozinas respond generally really quickly
as Hunteres said, lockscreen don't work for us, as Quick settings in the notifications tab(that is for Sense Rom) everything else works generally like a charm
All done yesterday itself. There was only a small issue of disabling signature verification and Mendozinas replied pretty quickly. Other than Boot Animation, Lock screen everything else works on a Stock KF3 Kernel. You don't even need to wipe the cache/Dalvik cache before flashing. It's optional & just a precaution.
I found UOT Kitchen and I am really glad it exists because I would have no clue how to make my own custom theme. However I still have a couple questions.
First has to do with the boot animations. In the bar labeled select place for bootanimation, what do I select?
Next question is, can I flash this over another ROM? I want to use the Ginger-Funk ROM to get rid of some bloatware, increase battery life, etc.
And my last question is has to do with how the UOT zip actually changes things. For example, if I uncheck sliding tab in the lock screen tab does it remove the sliding tabs or just not skin them?
Any responses are greatly appreciated, I'm new to all of this and have been researching for awhile now and I'm getting antsy lol.
1 system/media
2 yes
3 it just won't skin them
Tap'n on my LIBERATED X2
That was faster than I expected. Glad I found these forums and thanks a lot!!
If I could bother you for one more question, is there a way to get rid of the sliding tabs? I prefer the lock pattern and it's kind of annoying to unlock my phone twice.
Edit: There are two options for system/media:
Cyanogen ROM
Galaxy S GB ROM
Does it matter which one?
Also there was one thing I missed. When it asks for screen size what do I select. The choices of resolution seem like they are too low for the DX2 or any phone with a large screen. I promise this is the last question I have looked around but haven't found anything =/
What two files did you upload to it? I tried system.hi and framework but when everything was done, I tried to flash it and it said syntax error with updater script.
Any ideas?

Ok, well I just made a theme this time without the custom boot animation however this time I am getting a (status: 0) error.

I might try flashing a different ROM and see if I can get it to work.

Your using edifying scripting not amend use amend and you won't have that error

And I quote
" I've tested flashing custom UOT themes on Gingerbread and they work just great. I've included a link to the stock android files so you can now cook your own custom themes in UOT Kitchen. The only elements that don't work are boot animations lock screens. Use amend scripting and load up the two files in the zip below and you're good to go. Have fun! Once you have the zip from UOT, just flash it like a rom in recovery."
So far uot kitchen works on any rom I have tried and I am currently using gingerfunk'd also
Even with amend, no boot animation, and no lock screen, it says updated error.
Where is the updater file on ROMs?

couple of questions. if you use the kitchen will you keep the 1% battery and pulldown toggles or does the kitchen cause you to lose that, can the original files be replaced to revert back to original look? sorry don't mean to hijack the topic.. kitchen has always intrigued me.
** for battery and toggles, is it as simple as copying my service.jar file from my current system after flashing the kitchen theme?

You need to feed the kitchen the files for the current ROM your using. Both SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk . If your on motogingerfunk you can get these files in a zip in that thread or you can move them off your phone or grab them from your roms zip. The toggle if you have them are in systemui.apk and wont get themed but should still be there. The 1% battery is in a different file entirely and will be fine. USE AMEND SCRIPTING
Lockscreen/Bootanimation do not work

I'm trying to edit some of the files in the ROM before flashing so I can have my defaults settings in place. I could do this just fine with EVO 4G ROM files, but when I try to open...say...build.prop, it says the archive is corrupt and that there are no files to extract. However, the ROM will flash onto my phone just fine.
Do I need a different version of WinRAR? Different program? Anyone else having that problem? Thanks for any answers.

Update winRAR, or try 7zip. Redownload the file if you still get the error.
Maybe the ROM is signed that will keep you from making changes without extracting it first..
Id have to say use 7zip. Free app that's a 1000 x better for using when doing rom and theme building. IMO of course

7zip does not care if the .zip is signed or not. Don't know if I would agree that its a 1000x better but thats just me. This is why I don't sign my ROMs anymore. Just encase someone wants to delete or add something before they flash.

It doesn't matter if a rom is signed or not. Its just a zip file. With 7zip u should be able to edit what ever you want. You won't be able to view any PNG files unless they are extracted but if you edit the rom or the apk it will usually break the signature which isn't a huge issue. You can always resign an apk or flash a rom without a signature. I can't stand win zip or winrar. They take forever and always have to extract crap. With 7zip its drag and drop and never an issue.
Thanks guys. I'll give 7-zip a try. That must mean that none of the EVO 4G roms I've ran (CM7 and MIUI) were ever signed...
