Hallo, I´ve problems installing UOT Themes via the recovery (clockwork mod 5.0.2). Trying to install the .zip files throws me "error 0". In the kitchen I have read to substitute a certain file from the rom, but having done this the installer aborts without doing anything. I can manually substitute the framework.res file via rootexplorer, but this isn´t elegant and annyoing.
Does anybody have experiences with this problem or a solution to this?
TIA

Yeah what I do is once I've done the theme downloaded it I get the update-binary file from the rom I'm using which is here in the zip file \META-INF\com\google\android\ and then exchange it with the one in the zip file from the kitchen and then flash it with CWM. I've done that with every theme I've done and its worked every time

I am having hard time to install a ROM after I modded it a bit.
The ROM itself had been installed already and works perfectly.
I was trying to change a few things like icons, bootanimation, default launcher and other stuff but the phone keep giving me an error and fail to install the file.
my phone is HTC HD2 t-mobile version, the ROM is android 2.3.4 with CM7, I am installing ROMs using MAGLDR 1.13 + clk 3.1.0.1.
I modified the zip file using 2 methods - both led to the error
1. unpack the zip file, replace the files, repack the folders back together into zip
2. swapping the files without extracting the folders out of the zip file
in both cases I used winrar (my computer runs 64bit win7).
am I missing something?
any help will be much appreciated
This is strange... I basically use the same method to mod minor stuff (like icons)... And it works for me without problems.
Are you sure your repackaged file has the same structure? Maybe unpack both original package and your modified one and compare folders and files using WinDiff or something?
I ran a check with "Beyond Compare 3" and it appeared to be the same except the files I've replaced.
What archiving software are you using?
There is no need to sign the zip or anything like it, right?
I'm using Total Commander which has zip functionality built-in.
No, I don't need to sign anything either (although I don't know, maybe it requires setting development options in android's settings).
Hi all,
I'm trying to add APK files to custom rom (my last try was Pyramid3D v7.3.0 ROM).
In each ROM file (ZIP file), I noticed APK files were installed in two folders:
data\app: which, as far as I understand, contains applications which can be unistalled after flashing
system\app: for applications which cannot be deleted after flashing (except using ADB commands or tools such as Titanium Backup)
I tried both to add my apk files to each of those folders using WinRAR without unzipping the ROM (simply using Drag N Drop). Then flashed (with signature verification disable), but among all APK files I put, only one is successfully installed (french apk file called "Page Jaune").
Of course, I can install remaining APK files after flashing but I really don't understand why some are installed and some not...
Any idea?

Does anyone know hoe to make themes for gingerbread in UOT Kitchen?
When it comes to "file upload", I dont know what to do.
Please help.
If you have a gingerbread ROM then you have to unzip the ROM file you flashed and go into the folders (/system/framework and /system/app) To find the 2 files it requires.
If its froyo then only the frameworkres.apk is needed
The files are found within the zip file of the ROM you downloaded

Thanks. That seams more complicated then I thought.
Its actually really easy. What you need to do is get the rom you've installed and if its gingerbread, get the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk and upload those files.
Then once you've got the zip file from the kitchen, you will also need to get the update binary file from the rom too and replace the one in the zip from the kitchen and then put it on the sdcard and install from CWM.
It may sound a little daunting, but once you've done it once or twice it will become second nature
Guyz, Do not ever flash the zip file obtained from UOT kitchen directly to the galaxy r. The Manifest and settings.uot files in the UOT zip file have the wrong configurations ie. not compatible with our phone. The assumed busybox location in the settings and Manifest file is wrong as a result when you flash the zip file it will only delete the original framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and twframework.apk but would not replace them with the modified ones from the UOT zip file. So when you reboot.....---> BOOT LOOP...dead end. I would suggest you to manually push the modified files to their respective locations. I myself ended up into a boot loop yesterday and as luck would have it even my nandroid backup had become corrupt...so had to flash a stock rom through odin..atleast it saved me.
Thanks saurabh.khare for the info.
i've used UOT kitchen many time and i didn't face any problem, when you are flashing the wrong zip file you will have these kind of issues for eg: once i've uploaded the stock ROM framework and flashed it on custom ROM then i faced these kind of issue's..
Yup me too, I've flashed uot-files several times. Never faced such issues.

Buddy I'm very much sure that I did nothing wrong. I extracted the files out of a rooted stock ROM(XWKI5) and flashed the cooked zip file over the same rooted Stock ROM through CWM. I have attached the file for you reference...If you could go through and point out where I went wrong I would be very glad

I have flashed files from UOT several times on Galaxy R without any errors(Both Stock Odex and Deodex ones). Not sure why you had issues.
So I am on a new ROM trying it out (Xplod JB 4.1.2 by XSmagical) and I am trying to make a zip for a new battery icon. I made it in the UOT kitchen but the very second I press install from twrp recovery, it says "failed" immediately.
I uploaded the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the ROM per the instructions and downloaded the ZIP from the "pickup" screen. The file name is UOT-12-01-20-34-1.
For those who have themed or used this tool, what did I do wrong? The only thing I can think is I unchecked the "theme chooser preview" at the bottom of the File upload page. Could that be it?
Thanks!
