Bionix Theme "Nuke Green"

Ok im getting pretty good at editing frameworks and finally got a working theme for bionix!!! I think it looks pretty good, it gives Bionix Frost a cooler look!!! but let me know what you guys think. The pics will be posted in a minute.
Stuff Ive Themed So Far:
Nuke Green Status Bar
Themed Drop Down Menu w/New Icons,Transparent Background and Custom Galaxy Tab!!
Download and Slider Bars are Themed
Pop Up Menus Glow
Usb icons Are Changed
Lockscreen Themed
Like everybody else says im not responsible for bricks!! I have had this theme all day testing with no problems but this is just version 1 ill be adding more to the theme as i go. Also note i had a force close of titanium backup right after pushing the files not sure why just rebooted and never had a problem again and yes titanium back still works perfect i checked.
Just unzip and push both files to system/framework then reboot.

Heres the pics enjoy

Looks good. Look in res/layout/status_bar_expanded.XML to find the lines for the white background on your notification pulldown. ;-)

I know uot gives the option becuase i made those white parts black it even shows it in the preview but when i cook it, it changes to white. Im try to find it in the drawable-hdpi file to change it manually.

you have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to convert the xml's from binary to text, then recompile once done.

the drop down menu runs from twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. i don't know which changes it so i always cook the status bars the same in both files. i think if u try again u should get in done in uot kitchen.

Yeah i always cook both files the same way i just think theres something diffrent about the bionix frameworks? would stock kd1 frameworks work on bionix? Im probably just going to edit the xml and be done with it. Thanks for the freedback.

Ok krylon i decompiled it with apk by putting the framework-res.apk in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder then hitting decompile then it decompiled it to the projects folder then i changed the status_bar_expanded but how do i compile it back?? apk ask me for a project number and the only one that shows up is the original apk??? Also i added a pic below let me know if i changed the right thing. I circled the color code that changed it to black #0000 it was originally #FF000 wich i think is white right?? thanks for helping this noob out

Battery Circle with % on stock rooted rom

Hi,
I've been using the UOT Kitchen for sometime to create a battery Circle with % for the notification bar of my Samsung Galaxy S. Yesterday I took the plunge to see if this would also work for my TF, although the kitchen is not intended for use with Android Honeycomb. But it worked just fine on my rooted WW 8659 rom with CWM recovery. Just select your preference for the battery symbols, generate a preview, upload framework-res.apk (located on your TF in /system/framework/) and SystemUI.apk (located in /system/app/) and submit. Flash the resulting ZIP file with CWM and bingo! I'm not sure what other mods in the Kitchen can be used, but the battery indicator seems ok. Use at your own risk though. Happy flashing.

It works perfectly.. Many thx for tip

I have tried the fonts and it work.
I use to decompiled, edit, complied and sign the framework-res just to hey battery%. Last week I tried the UOT kitchen and our work great.

warning, the framework modded by the uot kitchen may cause problems with dock. i don't know if the dev behind the kitchen updated that so pay attention.
here is the right method to implement such mod https://github.com/Roach2010/prime_rom_tf101/commit/aa8b9e86a2ddfcc229fdaf41b48ca23fe0d66838

Thanks for the tip. Will try it.

If its from uot kitchen, its probably Rom specific.
Nice post but you need to say what Rom it is I think?

Hi,
I just bought a Chacha for my wife and i would like to mod the battery. The problem is that i can't make UOT kitchen work with this phone. I uploaded to kitchen files from 1.54_EU and 1.57_Asia and got same SHTF error each time. Though I have used uot kitchen many times for my Desire without one problem, this time i'm really stuck.
Does someone know if it's possible or not to cook a zip on UOT kitchen from a Chacha rom ? If the answer is yes, what am I doing wrong ?

Get the files from your ROM (it's ROM specific) using a file explorer (copy-paste to your SD card).

Thanks Alex. I did what you suggest. I got them by 'adb pull ...', by file explorer to sd card, extracted them from a 1.54_eu zip, nothing works ... Same error each time.
I tried the same battery mod with the 1.33_eu zip (extracted from 1.33_eu ruu) and got no problem with this one. But no way for 1.54_eu, uot kitchen didn't work with it ... Don't know if it is possible, though it seems to me that some may have succeeded with this rom if i believe some screen shots.

Hmm, weird. It should work, as I've had the same ROM and changed some icons inside.
Do you get errors when uploading all 3 files? Or only for some specific file?
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk

Maybe the problem is specific to battery mod with this rom ? I'm going to try another mod with the same rom just to be sure of that.

I've tried an icon mod and i got SHTF error too with 1.54 files ... The errors occur when compiling SystemUI.apk.
Are you sure you made some mods on exact same rom ? Just to guess if i'm doing something wrong ...

Ok, it took me a pair of hours but i have the great satisfaction to have found a workaround ! I share it below with whoever would be interested.
I observed with more attention than i did before the error.log of uot kitchen and i saw that the issue seemed to be with the res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.jpg file of SystemUI.apk.
I compared 1.54_eu SystemUI.apk to 1.33_eu SystemUI.apk and saw that in this one it was named res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.png.
I knew that 1.33_eu SystemUI.apk was ok for cooking, so here is what i did :
- decompile 1.54_eu SystemUI.apk with apktool
- in the decompiled apk, replace res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.jpg with res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.png of 1.33_eu SystemUI.apk
- recompile SystemUI with apktool
- copy resources.arsc of the newly compiled SystemUI.apk into the original SystemUI.apk
- in the original SystemUI.apk, replace res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.jpg with res/drawable-mdpi/battery_low_battery.png of 1.33_eu SystemUI.apk
Modified as described, the 1.54_eu SystemUI.apk is now ok for cooking in uot kitchen along with the other needed files (framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk). I tested it with a battery mod, it cooked and flashed ok !
No need to do the mod yourself, you can download the result below : you have modified 1.54_eu SystemUI.apk to use with uot kitchen and a CM7 style battery mod ready to flash with CWM into a 1.54_eu rom (don't forget to hit thanks if you use these files, this SystemUI.apk file has cost me many hours of googling and brain storming ! )

Congrats man!
Now I'm wondering why would HTC switch to the non-transparency enabled .jpg format instead of keeping to the official .png.

Hi,
I've tried to use in UOT your systemUI.apk file. It works with battery mod, but only with it.
If you try to add another mod such as emoticon or icons, it fails.
It seems because there is emot*.JPG files in framework-res.apk according to the SHTF log, so the problem is quite similar.
But I'm not able to sovle it as you did...

You're right, compared to 1.33_eu framework-res.apk many png files have been changed to jpg, including all emot*.png.
The same technique i used for SystemUI.apk should be ok, so i'll give it a try as soon as i have enough time. There will be no jpg left, neither in SystemUI.apk, nor in framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk !
Stay tuned, i'll be back !

[Q] ICS battery mod, how can I do this?

what are the files needed to be edited in order to make a circle battery mod?

Do you want to MAKE one from scratch or just install one? Which ROM are you running?

Id love to know how to do this as well. For me Id like to just modify an existing customized Rom files.
I actually tried this after hours of searching. And most seem to only talk abou modifying the SystemUI.apk by adding the 204 PNGs for the battery mode (for 1% accuracy) and also add the two modified battery XMLs. I recompiled the SystemUI.apk, injected it on the phone, set the right permissions and rebooted. I saw the battery icon change. But then 10mins later it was showing the stock battery icon again, then 10mins later I noticed it was showing the modified one again.
Im wondering why do folks mention only needing to change the SystemUI.apk when if you open the Framework-res.apk you will also see the same Battery PNGs and also see the same battery XMLs (but cannot read those in clear text).
Dont we have to modify both the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk? I think the answer is yes since the UOT Kitchen makes you upload both and sends you back both modified.
Im not too familiar with how to do the framework-res.apk. Btw Im using MHX's Superlite 5.0 ROM which I believe he modified one of those files to remove the carrier text from the status bar.
Dixit

I used UOT Kitchen to change mine. All you do is pick the battery icon you want then upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and wait for it to make it then download it to your sdcard. Then flash it in CWM.

Yea that worked fine when I was on Gingerbread even on NexusMod ROM. Thats what I did before.
Now on ICS (Superlite 5.1 ROM), I did the same thing, took the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from superlite's rom file, uploaded them to UOT and did the battery mod, everytime it builds it, I get a SHTF error.
So then I tried to upload the stock leaked ICS systemui.apk and framework-res.apk (not modified by any ROM), and still same issue, get a SHTF error.
It dont seem to like the ICS based files Im giving it.

Yeap saw that, Thanks again. Id love to see what you did in this that maybe I didnt do right in my own attempt. I added the 204 PNGs and then added these premade stat battery xml files I saw in the Galaxy S2 forum. I looked at yours (the stat battery xmls) but couldnt see them in clear text, they seem to be compiled so cant truly see whats in it.

Thanks again. This will help me in seeing where I went wrong on my initial attempt.

Took a look finally. My stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml are identical to the ones you had in your mod. So that was done right. Any other files you modified (XML wise)?
Im still curious on why I see the same two XMLs in the Framework-res.apk and the same battery icons but modifications are not needed there. Almost seems like both are needed to be done.

I didn't mod anything besides systemui. Didn't even touch any other file. I only added the icons and edited the 2 xml's.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Good to know, I wonder if maybe the proper method is to also replicate these same changes in the framework-res.apk since I did a test and noticed UOT Kitchen modifies both and I see the same two XMLs appear identically betweenthe SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. As as well as the same icon set in both.

From what I understand it doesn't work with the kitchen for ics
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Right I got a feeling it dont work with ICS (the UOT Kitchen). But like I said on GB it modified both framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and basically put the same changes in both. So there must be a reason it does that. That might be the reason why for brief moments I saw the standard battery icon and then sometimes the circle mod battery I put in there.

[Q] Tweaks.apk Question! :)

Hey all,
Please ping me or otherwise correct me if I'm mistaken, but I've searched for a very long time for the answer to my question :
I need help theming tweaks.apk, specifically the images shown in the sliders. I'm a n00b when it comes to theming, but I'm also not afraid of possible bricks and the like. If someone has any info, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

BUMP anyone??

if you're trying to theme the sliders and thngs on the lockscreen then you don't have to theme the Tweaks.apk you have to look in the framework-res.apk as that is where all the lockscreen pics are in

for tweaks it was a good question but for themes there's a lot of guides and sources u can check for that on google man so try searching a bit too. eh!
but I'll answer it, to check what a theme changes just open up the file of the theme u flashed and check to see what files were changed and you'll know where to check.
