UOT Kitchen

So I'm attempting to create themes for ICBINB with the new tw support on UOT Kitchen, but it seems to keep losing the twframework file everytime. Has anyone else experienced this or even tried it?

Are you talking about it changing the name to framework-res.apk? If so you just rename it back to twframework-res.apk and your good. Just push it to system/framework. Of course that's after you extract it.

I've only been cooking the regular framework-res files, haven't tried a tw file through UOT yet. I've been changing them manually, because there were only a few things I wanted to change

I am so lost with this uot thing. haha. i have been trying for 2 days. I did everything the site said but when I go to recovery and install the zip, nothing happens. I am currenty running the ICBINB rom. If this rom isn't compatible to use the UOT which one is, if any? Or how do I go about changing colors and stuff? I am sorry to post a "noob" question, I really have been trying for days to do it by myself!
Oh forgot to mention, it did change the font. But that is it.

Try manually pushing it to the system instead of flashing it then reboot

dumb question, but what do you mean manually push it? I just want to make sure I do everything right Thanks!

You manually push files by using a root explorer. Copy and paste/overwrite it into the proper folder it's supposed to be into. For instance, pushing an apk would require you to copy it and paste it into /system/app.

oooh! lol so I just take the two framework files and put them on my sd card, then overwrite the ones already therE?

Got it now! Everything is awesome, just didn't change the boot animation, but I can live with that!

Does anyone know how to mod the power off menu like adding reboot recovery and download mode?

Ok you cant use boot animations cause we dont have a kernel that supports it on GB and for uot it is the framworkres.apk and systemui.apk thats for GB, if your themeing froyo it the twframwork.apk and the frameworkres.apk.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

UOT kitchen is very basic. Only mods framework.apk, tw-framework.apk and systemui.apk. All other apps you need to mod yourself. Look into apkmanager.

Agreed, for simple icon changes (appearance) you can extract the apk, edit the icons to your desire, then push them back into the apk and push or flash it. There isn't much to it.

If you have photoshop any version will do, select the layer and above the layer it will have the transparency or opacity or sth at 100%. Change this to whatever you want

For some apk's you need to edit some of the XML files in order to get a transparent background
Every apk is different so you need to find the right way
Which app do you wanna customize? maybe it already exist

I don't have a lot experience with changing xml files to but some apks have a XML file called style.xml and you just need to change some text in the XML to get a transparent background
But I'm using just the customized xda app you need
It's from the indroid ota app its black transparent with white letters
maybe you can ask Indroid dev team for some info
EDIT: The apk from indroid is the free version but i saw you have the premium version

Help with making incremental battery work

I have all of the images in the res/drawable-hdpi file like they need to be, what's the next step? I have googled the crap out of this subject and I cannot find an answer that makes sense. I'm sorry if this is obvious but I need help.

And depending in in the rom you might have to edit 2 XML files to add the 1% settings
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2

Well I think the names are right. I did hear somewhere that you have to edit the xml, but I'm not sure exactly what needs to be edited. If I can get someone to walk me through this ill definitely make a how-to for future reference.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah if you're trying to mod it for a TW rom you have to edit 2 xml files in res/drawable. They are:
stat_sys_battery.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
You have to change them so they read from 0-100 that way the 100% battery mod actually reads correctly. You'll see right away what needs to be changed. And make sure you have all the png's in the right folder and they are named correctly.
After that recompile and in the folder that was created when you decompiled should be a new folder called Build or something like that, the new apk is in there. Then you have to take the meta-inf folder and androidmanifest.xml from the ORIGINAL apk and copy them into the new one with 7zip or whatever you use. Zipalign and it's ready. Either push it to system/app with ADB or pack it into a flashable zip and have at it.

Some of the apps on my phone can read the xml, but when I swapped them out using ninjamorph it broke my SystemUI. After a reboot my battery Icon is gone completely. I'm guessing I'll still have to decompile and recompile.

I have the images in my res/drawable-hdmi folder already, I just haven't had time to see if I can figure out the 1% increments. If you could help that would save me time? Want a copy of my systemui? If rather you use that opposed to pulling a copy from the stock ROM seeing as I have ask the battery images and my modified 4G LTE icons already in place.
