[GUIDE] UOT Kitchen guide

Hello everyone, today I'm creating this thread for newbies who want to learn how to use UOT Kitchen so it can be used by the Galaxy R.
It allows us to mod everything in the phone! You can even choose which to mod.
Prerequisites:
- You current ROM's SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
The instructions are as follows:
Step 1: Battery mod
Over here, you can change:
Battery icon
Battery charging animation
Battery style
Battery colour parts
Firstly, just choose a battery bar that you like. (I personally prefer the Honeycomb one)
Secondly, choose the charging animation. (Hybrid looks nice)
Thirdly, you can choose to change the colour parts or leave it as it is.
Fourthly, (optional) you can select Additional options:
Remove % numbers
Remove charging icon
Use gradient colour fill
Well, that's all for battery.
Step 2: Icons
Here you can change:
Smiley icons
Status bar icons
Notification Power icons
This doesn't need much instructions; pick what you like.
Step 3: Status bar
This is probably the most important thing when it comes to theming: the Status Bar!
It allows you to change:
Status bar transparency
Top bar
Add/edit top bar text
Add a header
Add/edit carrier
Add a background on the status bar
Customize notifications' colours
Add/edit footer
Firstly, you need to specify your phone's screen resolution size. (Ours is hdpi.)
Secondly, mix-and-match.
Step 4: Popup (a.k.a Window Animations)
This one is just as important.
It allows you to change:
Add/edit overscroll glow
Edit popup windows
Loading circle
Volume/Download bar
Add/edit list dividers
Same thing, mix-and-match.
Step 5: Lockscreen
This allows you to change:
Lockscreen
Step 6: Window
This allows you to change:
Window animations
It allows us to use the ICS windows animation effect!
Step 7: Fonts
This allows you to change:
System fonts
They have 26 fonts to choose, including the famous Roboto font!
Step 8: Bootanimation
This allows you to change:
System bootanimation
They have loads of bootanimations to choose from. Have fun!
Step 9: File upload
This is where you:
Upload system files for modding
Choosing updater-script type
Apply 9patch autofix
Toggle ThemeChooser preview for ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
Allow to download your settings into a UOT Kitchen-openable format
Just upload your system files.
But remember to choose the updater-script type as Galaxy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Step 10: Summary
This is where you can check the status of your mods.
Once it's okay, you can submit the work to the kitchen.
Once you submit it, you'll be given a number. That's the name where your file will be processed under and be shown for download at the "Pickup" section.
(Note: If it gives an error instead of a download post it at the UOT thread)
Thanks for reading this small guide, I'll update it with more info!

Thanks a lot buddy....this helps:laugh:.
Just one issue though....have you tried applying the overscroll glow mod through the kitchen for stock odexed firmware....I dont think it works and also in the file upload section can you include the device type setting...it has to be 'Galaxy'.

At least, I tried the battery mod in my stock rom (not deodexed) and it works ok.

[Theme][CM9] Motowiz by Brandonc0526

OK guys here is the deal, I wanted to create a theme that combined the status bar of this theme:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eme.motoblur.free&feature=more_from_developer
with the icons of this theme (because the moto ones are fugly) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz.free&hl=en
So what I came up with is called motowiz
Installation instructions:
1. Make sure you are on a CM9 based rom that has the T-Mobile theme Chooser installed
2. Move the apk to system>app
3. Change perms to rw-r-r
4. Reboot
5. Apply theme (it'll say something about not being compiled right, just hit apply anyway)
Note: It must be installed manually because its not signed, idk how to do that.
Features:
TW4 icons
Motoblur4 status bar
4G icon instead of H
If you like it just hit the thanks button

screenshot??
Yeah the screenshot didn't post. Don't know if you forgot the link or forgot to attach the picture. Anyway, not being critical but is there a reason why people would be interested in having their name on the nav bar at all times? Is there some use or purpose I don't know of outside of customization and aesthetics?
Where is screen shoot?
Sent from my GT-I9082
sorry for the inconvenience guys ...
Yup its all about customization... You can keep any png instead of home buttons.. Cuz default navbar may not be intersting and sounds boring...
