hey are you running on stock rom? if so can guide me please? new to themeing etc >.<
Working with stock?
Tried this on the stock rom by extracting framework, systemui and com.htc.resource, phone bricked when i applied zip through cwm. Thankfully had a backup. Did anyone have success working with a stock rom?

Oh, did you use framework-res.apk?
Or framework.apk? Try to only use the framework file and just battery mod.

Framework file.
So its the framework.jar file you use? Cos my stock rom does not seem to have a framework apk file in the framework folder so i used the framework-res.apk
Works
Oh nevermind. Tried with the framework-res.apk and it worked. Thanks anyway.
Yes，you need to upload systemui.apk
maybe someone can post his litle work ?)
My little work
Experimented with both methods, uploading all 3 files and just uploading framework file. Second method worked. This is the battery i made using the kitchen. I am also running stock sense 2.3.3 on my desire s.
Circle battery with animation while charging.
Copy anywhere to SD, reboot into clockwork recovery, clear cache and davlik then apply update.

Cheers for making this one fella. Been having upload problems at work (and I forget at home). Wanted circle battery for ages now!
It's the blue circle for all who might want to know.
Anyone can upload all the 3 stock file heres?
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resource.apk
SystemUI.apk
or anyway i can extract/get myself
Many thanks
You can find them all using an app like astro file manager. Just copy to your SD card and then to pc. Location of files can be found with Google..l

ah ! THANKS =)
what happens if you select the rom rather than upload the files?
Also, do boot animations work?
Tried using the inbuilt rom settings but it didn't work. Not tried boot animations yet.

Works also with v1.47 rom , but framework from stock and 1.47 have different filesize (the uot-generated zip also is different). Once installed i've noticed no differences, but is better to install a proper 1.47 based battery

I've been using the kitchen on my Desire S since i got S-Off, not exactly a revelation that it works, it'll probably work on any HTC as long as you upload the required files.

Hey everybody, this is my first post here.
I recently installed Rubix Focused and the Linear theme for it. All is well and good except that some of the edit menu icons are themed and some are not. This really bugs me and I wanted to change them all back to the stock icons. I've found the icons inside of the framework.apk inside the linear theme zip, but when I replace them via 7zip and try to reinstall the theme, they aren't changed and my phone pretty much flips out.
Also some of the icons for other programs (Gmail, others) are also changed, I'm assuming whatever would work to fix the ones inside the framework apk would also work for changing out the icons in those specific apps.
So how do I go about doing this? I thought it would be a simple fix but I'm thinking I'm missing something during the process.
If you use the rubix zip u flashed...
Open it up with 7zip and pull ouy everything but the framwork-res.apk
Then reflash the new zip. I believe u can do this...read it in this forum somewhere...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Would I be reflashing Rubix's framework or the theme's (Linear)? The modified icons came from the theme installation.
Use the rubix framework if you want them to look like the stock rubix icons.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I replaced the icons in the theme with the icons I wanted and replace the framework file in the original theme's zip and deleted everything else, keeping the file structure to the framework file intact. It freezes whenever I try to install it now.

What process and exact steps did you take to do this?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Alrighty, I ended up getting something to work. I used another simple theme mod's zip file and replaced the framework file with mine and installed fine. I'm guessing it had to do with signage or something.j Would life have been made easier if I used apk manager?
Yes, if you are just replacing images, apk manager would probably make life easier...
Sorry I didn't think to mention this before... was just trying to think of the easiest method to get you back to where you wanted to be in terms of look/feel.
Hi if you extracted the framework-res.apk can you use the OUT Kitchen to modify the file and use root explorer to replace the apk?

Not sure. but the ROM has to be de-odexed first I believe.
UOT says it will work on odexed roms
didn't know if the stock rom was odexed

stock / official ROMs are always odex'ed. If thats the case, try the UOT at your own risk. Framework-res breaking will cause boot loops.
Anybody brave enough to try this?
I tried uploading framework-res.apk to UOT and just did the Circle Battery mod, then downloaded the .zip and renamed it to "update.zip" and flashed in stock recovery, but no go... I think once we get CWM recovery working, this might start working...
FYI, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk aren't odexed. On any Samsung ROM I've poked around in.
I tried it last night and installed with cwm and it bootloooped had to restore from backup would be cool if it did though i will tinkier more with it and see
I flashed Refuse (check out the other threads about this rom) via Odin, then extracted the framework-res.apk and uploaded it to UOT and created a zip with the battery mod I wanted. Then I installed Rom Manager from the market, moved it to phone (by default it installed to SD), flashed the Captivate recovery, then booted into recovery, selected reinstall packages (which got me to CWM recovery), then selected install zip from SD card, then selected the zip, and it worked.
this is the same method i used and it worked for the fonts and battery mods and i changed some color schemes also now have a white status bar
why wont it let me download my framework and systemUI?

I've created a few mods in the Kitchen for the Unity Rom and have a couple things I need help on. I flash the zip and part of the mods work but not all of them. I changed the battery but it only changes on my phone when I charge it. I used the 1.24 Rom they have listed and I have 1,25. Could this be causing an issue or am i doing something wrong.

Instead of choosing the rom from the list, just upload a copy of your framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk. That takes away some of the guesswork. Also add the com.htc.resources.apk if you are running a sense rom.

It could be.
Whenever I have trouble with the UOT Kitchen...I upload my own files instead of using the files they have.
Try uploading your own framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. I think if its a Gingerbread sense ROM you also have one more file you have to upload.
From the UOT Kitchen How To:
Files you need to upload:
Froyo rom: framework-res.apk
Gingerbread rom: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to apear in theme menu)
How do I upload these files. I'm still somewhat new to this.

download Root Explorer or File Expert from the Market (I personally use File Expert...its a free app...does everything Root Explorer does). Navigate to your Root directory...thats where you will find these files. When you find them...copy and paste them to your desktop. That way when you get to that point with the Kitchen, you can easily find them to upload.
I had the same problem. You need to disable the battery percentages in the build.prop file. See the OP and then reboot. Problem solved.

Ok, so im really new to using this and i followed everything the guide said. Something didnt go right when i tried to use it, all i was wanting to do was change the battery icon in the status bar. I found the apk files needed in my current rom. Everything went well with cooking the file and getting the zip file and putting it on the sd card, flashed it and when i went to reboot phone it got stuck on the splash screen. So im in the process of wiping and restoring the phone.
eollie has given me a good start and i plan on continuing with lightly modded, i mean lightly .
Now for the question, since i followed the steps to the letter something else had to go wrong, hopefully. Just wondering if anyone has an idea where i should start looking...
Thanks in advance..
BTW in trying to do this on AntonX's Barebones rom...dont know if that was a need to know
Have you tried to reboot to recovery and fix permissions? Wipe dalvik and cache while your at it.

I believe it has something to do with the zip UOT makes so try and grab the UOT zip and unzip it then unzip the rom its from. Then move over the systemui, framework-res and twframework-res to their appropriate folders rezip the rom n reflash then come back n hit the thanks button

Unzipping and pushing will work.
Once I figured out that changing the update binary option to galaxy I never had the issue of it bootlooping me.
I think the kitchen also says if you get a bootloop to pull the update binary from a rom zip that works and put in in the uot zip.

Your bootanimation.zip has to be stored, not compressed. You can set the compression level in pretty much every gui out there.
Make sure you take a known good bootanimatin.zip and edit that since it'll save you a lot of headaches.

I have every mod from UOT working fine. I pushed all THREE apks, and just changed the boot animation manually like you should. Push SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk AND twframework-res.apk... My phone boots up so fast, thought, that my boot animation doesn't have time to finish, lol.
