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

I've always wondered, how were you able to change the icons for the stock arc launcher? Don't have my x10 with me now so I can't try and test it out for myself, but if you could share it'd be very much appreciated

For replacing just images you can open the apk with 7-zip or winrar (open like a folder, do not extract). You can change the extension to zip first or just right-click and choose 7-zip>Open Archive. Then navigate to res/drawable-hdpi & res/drawable-land-hdpi and drag in your replacement images. Click 'yes' on the dialog that pops up and then close the archive(apk) and rename back to apk if you changed to zip in the first step.
It's a good idea to have a copy of your image folders extracted somewhere so you can easily view the images and edit them.

Yes, of course- just the ones you want to replace.
And images ending in .9.png need decompiling/re-compiling to change properly.

Taskbar Menu

Can someone show me how I can personally change my top taskbar menu (if it's possible) and where can I find the themes for it?
Thanks.

It all depends what you're actually trying to do?
Just change a color? Change the pull down background? Add quickpanel toggles?

I flashed my phone back to stock rom and I just wanted the taskbar to look like the octane rom that I was running on before.

You can try pulling the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from octane and replacing them in the appropriate spots in your current ROM as long as the rom you are on is deodexed. But it may,not work. Or, you can replace the .png files using 7zip and then replace those files with your new themed ones (less chance of fc or bootloop). But the second method is a bit more detailed.

Does UOT kitchen work with Theme Chooser apps now? Last time I used it, it was only for the actually framework files (framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk).

i guess not i read a bunch about just getting the theme chooser.apk and uploading that and it is supposed to add an apk to the zip it gives u to download
1. Go to the Kitchen page
2. Browse through the available mods and choose what you want (don't forget to press Generate preview if there is such a button)
3. Go to the file upload section and upload the required files, or choose the ROM you use from the kitchen's list (most roms in the list are for HTC Desire)
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)<----thats what im using
NOTE 1: if you’re uploading theme apk then do not upload any other files; you’re just wasting traffic, because the kitchen will ignore additional files
NOTE 2: Font packs and boot animation do not require files to be uploaded. If you choose only those mods then you get a download without a queue.
4. Go to the summary section. All chosen mods must have a green background. If there is a mod in red background it means you didn’t finish it.
Press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember the UOT file name (your order number).
6. Go to the Pickup page and wait for your file to appear (it can take from 5min to 1hr or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into recovery
9. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache (just in case). Do not wipe data / factory reset.
10. Flash UOT zip
11. Reboot phone

So you can actually take a CM7 Theme Chooser theme and use that for UOT Kitchen? Then apply it to any ROM?

No. Theme Chooser themes only work with roms that have themechooser integration. Otherwise its a lot of work to port.

Hey Kwes - I have not tried UOT with New Clip because you mentioned themes may break things. Does that also apply to UOT? I wanted to change the color of all the items on the status bar to the hex ICS color. Should that be OK if I do not change anything else?
Or is there a better way to do that?

As long as you use the systemui and framework-res from the rom it shouldn't break anything. But some sketchy edits I made in framework as work a rounds might not let you edit it with uot but you can always try. I'm gonna update soon if I can just get these lock screens right.

Thanks. I will give it a try tonight or tomorrow. I want to make a set of all gingerbread green status bar icons and a set of all ICS blue status bar icons. If it works I will send them to you and you could add them to New Clip (if you want to) as an option for people that want everything matching, but do not want a complete makeover theme.
I just think it looks nice when the battery, clock, signal, wifi, etc match in color. Fond of ICS blue right now. I think I know how to repack it so anyone can use it. I'll PM you later if I get it done.
Edit: Well...that was a disaster. I just changed the status bar icons and added a different battery. Result was a boot loop twice and then a black screen requiring a battery pull. Restored my back up and will give it another try. Maybe a bad file download?

An all new update is just around the corner. Kwes1020 has some magic he is holding back until its right. Old weapon 3.0 works fine with UOT. I am not a real theme guy. I answer easy questions for noobs and piggyback off the hard work of others, but always give credit and thanks to the real guys. If the update does not happen as expected, I will take another stab at it.
I love learning new things and android has become an addiction. If you want to try, read up on topic. Tons of good info out there. UOT is simple to use. The trick is making the zip you create compatable with every one else. There is a mini tutorial in the moonman thread.

My First Time
So I sat for over an hour making my first OUT kitchen Theme if that is what you call it, I am waiting for it to cook as you say.... hope all goes well when I flash it to my stock Gingerbread rom......

Hey buddy, i've managed to make it work, after 2 months of searching.
Here is the link of proof. I haven't post any files yet or a guide, but if you want ill tell you what to edit and with what tools.

Or just paste the file inside this zip View attachment classes.rar to systemUI.apk and do the proper edits to status_bar.xml and the statusbar_background.9.png and statusbar_background.png afterwards.

You can also use the UOT Kitchen.

Yes. Use the .dex file for the alpha level and just change the statusbar_background.png to the desired transparency level and thats it . Just remember to add @color/transparent to the date background, otherwise it will show when you expand the statusbar and add the proper change from #ff000000 to @drawable/statusbar_background.
