UOT Kitchen

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?

Using a file manager/explorer, copy the file and paste it to your sdcard.

Oh dear God, I think you may have answered something I have been wrestling with for a while. If I use the recovery flash method rather than pushing the files with adb, will the theme also include the new custom lock screens?

I just tried to flash my downloaded UOT .zip and now i've got a bootloop.
Do i just make it the same way as i would if i was pushing the -res and UI .APKs to the phone?

You have the recovery? You don't open the zip file and extract it, but put the archive.zip in the directory of the sd and flash it as a zip.

What's recovery? Where can I found it? Sorry, total noob on this..

I got yours workung fine but when i flased mine from uot kitchen i get bootloop. They both contain the same folders. Maybe bad dowbload.

but before you do BOOT the package put the Theme in ZIP state anyware to your SDCard.Once you BOOT the package and click Install from SD,find it and CLICK YES !!!! you'll have your theme
Do a nAndroid before doing it (backup)
To enter recovery again,Reboot,when you see the FIRST logo,Hold the Power button and TAP BACK BUTTON like a DONKEY!!!

I think i might be a professional idiot. I know what i was doing wrong.
When i was making my theme with uot kitchen i used the framework-res.apk and systemUI.Apk that were on my computer but these have been there for ages and aren't from the newest firmware that i am on now

You could try the app "Screen Off and Lock" from the Market, not quite as slick as the real thing since it doesn't map to the power button, but not bad in the meantime!

Yup worked like a charm, pretty easy too if you just follow the instructions step by step

i uploaded the file as a zip, just extract the apk out of it and replace the one in your sytem/framework with this one. Also not sure if it matters but my phone is a KJ4

How do you replace the old framework-res.apk ?
I've tried Root Explorer with no success... The file is read only.

Click the little mount r/o button then try to paste it
Your phone will restart and when it comes back on, this and battery percentage should both work

Much more simpler to do than explaining it ...
Thanks to tr.supradeep for it post ... if you have root make like this ... it works on all rom and all themes ... better than flashing someone framework.res.apk that can stuck your phone in bootloop ...
FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.
How to enable CRT animation:
1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .
2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #.
3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.
4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.
5. Reboot phone.
NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.
NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.
Video for Instructions to enable CRT animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6RsSZ4X2w
Credit for the Video: GadgetCheck (Thank you very much GadgetCheck )
Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.
Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

Modified framework-res.apk for KK1
I had modified framework-res.apk with the animation turned on only for KK1 per attachment. Just replace the one in /system/framework.

jcklau.
U mind giving telling me what files to replace in framework-res.
I got a heavily modded framework that I dont want to loose. It would be easier if I just recompile ur xml into my framework rather than the other way round.
What xml did u edit.?
And any additional files?
Also, is it both crt on and off... or only off effect?
Thnx a million.

I edited res/values/bools.xml
Changed "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
Hope it helps.

I've already asked raver but he's busy so I don't want to bother him any longer. So is anyone willing to instruct me or help me to make the ES zips flash-able so that the MIUI control extended settings apk can work?
Raver's miui settings extended zip down below but it doesn't really change the fact that the ES zip wont flash. So I'm wondering if I should take the update script and Binary from his and place it in the ES zips. Help me out please.

Unsigned zip files are fine for CWM. It's unsigned APKs that might not work.
EDIT
You're using older CWM zips. Are you sure you want to do this? They're using amend scripting which to me suggests that they're REALLY old. Where'd you get them from?

+1. You can just download the zip and push the files yourself. Make sure you set execute permissions on the files you replace though.

I'm really not getting what you guys are saying.. I'm really slow at these things So do I extract the EScenter.zip and take out the system and META-INF files and push it via file explorer?

Oh, I'll try it and let you know. THANKS I know I sounded stupid but my brain seems to function slowly on stuff like this.

I made this CWM zip that I haven't tested yet.
Tell me if it works for you, but like I said the files are old and you might wind up bootlooping.

Pushing the files didn't do anything nor did your zip. :/ The miui control panel doesn't change anything ( If were to change the clock to center it stays in place ) Nothing changes like its supposed to for example, clock centering, carrier changing, or battery hiding. Sigh .______.

New to UOT Kitchen

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 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.
