Thanks bro! All I see is apk files though. Where are the images?? Also, is there anything specific I have to do in order to export/import the files in Photoshop? I read something somewhere about a .9 PNG or something like that....what does this mean? BTW great work on your theme! It looks awesome! I love it!
Ok I'm a douche bad. lol I renamed the apk to .zip and extracted with winrar. Now I'm in to where I want to be! I'm looking for the little android guy when you make a phone call but, I can't seem to find him in the HTCdialer.apk. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks again for the help!
They are in the apk's.

Good luck.
Ok found the little droid man! This is gonna be awesome!! Any more useful places I should mess around in? This is gonna be FUN!!!!!!!
Ok so I have edited some files and rezipped them. Now do I flash the updated files through recovery or do I have to rename it to .apk and stick it in the rom and re-flash?

I may be wrong but I have done the same thing, all I did when I was finished was push them via adb to their respective places and then reboot and it worked fine for me. Nandroid before you push so if it boot loops you can recover. Then the easiest thing at that point would be to save your work in the ROM you modded, push to sd root, wipe and flash it. I am creating a themed version of Darchoid 2.7 but taking my sweet time as I dont have a lot of it to begin with.
For my HTC Keyboard modifications, I just dropped my new images into the APK that was open in 7zip and pushed it to the /system/app/ dir and launched the keyboard, and BAM, my new keyboard.

You have to sign it too. If you want to flash it. If you wanna just push it through adb then then put your edited .apk in AndroidSDK\tools and push it.
Go to command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb push xxxxx.apk /system/app/
exit
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools is assuming thats where your sdk\tools folder is
xxxxx.apk is the name of the .apk
/system/app/ is assuming that's where you got the .apk from
Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it but, I was attempting to make an update.zip so people could then flash them once I complete them. I like to make things idiot proof
So I did some looking and found an autosigner. Problem is, now it wants boot scripts? WTF? I know I could push them through adb and simply tell others to do the same. I was just wondering if there was an easy way of doing this? I'm currently using avabox. Thanks again guys!!

Just use a mod or update.zip any will do and add ur files and delete the originals in the zip. Keep the meta file and such. Then u can autosign with avabox. It gets tricky with scripts when making a rom. The update.zip script is very basic
Check This Out
You can just take one from a working zip if you want
Otherwise you will be making a file (i use notepad++) called "update-script" *notice-there is no file extension like .txt or anything*
In general they ususally just have:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.1 10
(but may be different depending on where you want the zip's contents to be put in)
Which will be placed into a folder directory META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
You can also add things such as:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:app/contacts.apk
*or whatever you want deleted*
After you make the update-script, just sign it and flash
See my attachment for a template

What would be the purpose in doing that? Would it actually delete people's contacts if they flashed my theme? That's kinda cool but, I'm not trying to be a **** like that! lol
Also, are you guys referring to an update.zip that's all ready out as in a theme file? Or as in a rom? I understand I can use the work that's all ready there and I actually tried that. I zipped the file back up.Then signed with avabox. Renamed it to .apk. Stuck it back in the rom. Attempted to flash and got the boot script error

haha i just used contacts.apk as an example, it could be anything you wanted really. But its generally only used for when making an update.zip for boot screens.
And yes, you could take an already existing zip... but i was a little confused as to what you were doing sorry.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding you again lol, but you're editing images within .apks and want to make a flashable-update.zip once you finish?
Easiest way, as stated before would be to use 7-zip.
Open the .apk Directly with 7-zip (no renaming the .apk to .zip or anything) and drag the replacement images into the .apk - overwriting the older images
Test it by pushing the apk to your phone, if it works without any problems great
If it doesn't then use something like Apk Manager to extract the apk/edit the files/and zip them back up < generally what I do
Put the .apk into the apps folder in my "template update.zip" file
Delete the framework folder and readme.txt file
Sign the .zip
Flash

LOL I really appreciate the help! You guys kick ass!!!! BUT I tried this method MINUS the renaming part and it didn't work. Sooooo....I'm assuming the renaming caused the issue.
Also, I was using winrar. I read somewhere that 7zip should be used instead of winrar but I just don't think this should matter considering the compression method is no different. Am I wrong? Also, will my theme have to vary from rom to rom? If I create this theme for people will I have to specify what rom I'm on?
Thanks again SOOOOOOOOOO much for the help guys...I know working with noobs can be a headache. I did it in the WinMo world for YEARS till I came to the "Dark Side"

Yes 7zip works better for theming and roming. I tried winrar and it was a pain in the ass.
Yes u will have to specify which roms it will work on. Files on darchdroid r different than our 2.1 roms and so forth. So they wont work right.
Download avabox and use the signing tool in there to sign ur zips.
Make sure in ur zip if ur editing an app it's in the right place...ie system/app or system/framework or data/app. Then make sure ur Meta file is in there. After that sign it and then u can change the name and flash it

The Meta file is for the update script. It has other uses but for ur purpose its for the update script which is the instructions the recovery uses to flash the theme. Like I stated before just use an existing one from a different theme or mod. Creating ur own is possible but not needed. Hit me up on gtalk if u want to ask me questions.

I've created a few mods in the Kitchen for the Unity Rom and have a couple things I need help on. I flash the zip and part of the mods work but not all of them. I changed the battery but it only changes on my phone when I charge it. I used the 1.24 Rom they have listed and I have 1,25. Could this be causing an issue or am i doing something wrong.

Instead of choosing the rom from the list, just upload a copy of your framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk. That takes away some of the guesswork. Also add the com.htc.resources.apk if you are running a sense rom.

Whenever I have trouble with the UOT Kitchen...I upload my own files instead of using the files they have.
Try uploading your own framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. I think if its a Gingerbread sense ROM you also have one more file you have to upload.
From the UOT Kitchen How To:
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)
How do I upload these files. I'm still somewhat new to this.

download Root Explorer or File Expert from the Market (I personally use File Expert...its a free app...does everything Root Explorer does). Navigate to your Root directory...thats where you will find these files. When you find them...copy and paste them to your desktop. That way when you get to that point with the Kitchen, you can easily find them to upload.
I had the same problem. You need to disable the battery percentages in the build.prop file. See the OP and then reboot. Problem solved.

If you're on the latest version 1.08 of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, then just push this SystemUI.apk into /system/app , fix the permissions, and reboot, and it should do the trick.
The reason you were having trouble before is because the stock image is a .9.png...I won't go into the details of that, but a little extra work is needed to make those files work.
This file I've included should work for ya.

Ok, so you're on the latest version (1.08) of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, correct? If you are not 100% sure, you can check in "About Phone" and check on the build.
Using the SystemUI.apk that I uploaded, what is your procedure for getting it into your phone?
Because that file has a transparent status_bar_background.9.png with correct patch handles drawn...not sure why it won't work. I will admit, that I don't have a 2.3.5 nandroid backed up to test. Anyone else?
I think I found the problem. Your rom's SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml points to shade_bg.png for the background. I made that image transparent for you, and recompiled the apk. I really hope this works for you. I have to admit, I"m feeling rather dumb right now.
Yes I'm on 1.08 and my exact procedure was I downloaded the file on my phone, I went to root explorer to the xda download folder where it was located, I copied it to system/app and overwrote tthe current systemui.apk that was there, at that time, a constant endless force closes occurred so I had to pull my battery and rebooted that way, as it rebooted, the notification bar was gone, I then went to the systemui and changed permissions to where the first column is all checked and the first of the 2nd ccolumn is checked, I then pulled the battery again (cuz of the apn issue without the hard reset) and when it came back, nothing changed, so I fixed permissions via rom manager, to no avail......its frustrating!

holy crap it worked.....a million times THANKS!!! You effin rock dude! thanks for taking the time to help me! So to my understanding, u just edited the shade_bg file???? that was it??
Yeh, essentially, all I would have needed to do was edit that shade_bg.png file. But I didn't know to look there until I was forced to try to save face after giving you bad advice, lol. Now I know that some roms will point to status_bar_background.png, some will point to shade_bg, and some even simply define a hex color code...just have to decompile the SystemUI.apk, and look in res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml to see where it's looking....and then edit that file.

so now that i know it works, i was wondering if i wanted to create one, do i make it 200 x 200 like the current shade_bg file is? i kinda want to make one with a black background with semi transparency! I tried editing the shade_bg file u made, with a program called Gimp, but it didnt work
Can you give me your exact method to doing this? I created an image from gimp, i saved it as shade_bg.png, so basically , i extracted the systemui.apk from root explorer, it put the extracted in my sd card, so i plugged in my phone in my mac, and i took that folder from my sd card, now from here, the extracted file is a zip file, so i double clicked it b/c macs can unzip files easily, so in the folder, i placed my shade_bg file into the appropriate folder.....now this is where i think i mess up, what do u do from here? I "compressed" the systemui folder to make it back into a zip, and then placed it into my sd card, i then "renamed" the file thru my phone from a .zip to a .apk, now in root explorer there is usually an icon that shows up next to the name of the files, now when i changed it, a green android icon showed up, but on the file that you had edited for me, there was a "settings" icon, u know, the standard icon for the settings app in android! i put the apk in the system/app and it didnt work, even after permissions set up! hmmm.....i promise, this will probably be my last post!
please keep in mind, i have a mac, and i do have that 7zip u mentioned in the development thread, but its called EZ7Z.....just in case i need it
If you are doing it the way you described, then you need to find a way to zip with no compression. 7 zip does that with the "store" setting...not sure about the mac version.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.

anyone know how to convert a .zip to .apk correctly?
Ok, so i took the dive into trying to build a rom, I've broken pretty much everything possible. Thanks to the help from UOT kitchen though for helping me theme. I'm trying to use the 2.3.5 base but im having some problems with SystemUI.apk. I can decompile it, modify it, and when i build it the file errors out and is junk.
UOT kitchen decides to not set some of the settings i requested. The notifications dropdown SHOULD have black text but its white and cyan. I also want the text in the clear button cyan but rebuilding systemUI screws up saying theres a bad line of code but is vague on where it is. I've even decompiled and recompiled the systemui.apk without changing it and it fails.
I'm thinking of trying the la3 base and seeing what happens.
Screenshots below of my ventures and failures. The one IS of the 14 toggle mod, all themed, the other are the ics smilies themed as well. But as you can see the text on the notifications wont stick. I guess im getting somewhere for not knowing what im doing lol.
EDIT: Also, where is that damn phone icon .png at? ive themed browser, calendar, email etc. But the phone one is hiding...
One of the .9's could be messed up when you edited them. That's what happened to me. I didn't know how to fix it but what I did was I took the original unedited system.ui apk,decompiled and changed all the xml's first then recompiled. Then I just drag and dropped my edited images from the system.ui apk where I edited the images beforehand.

I can decompile the systemui WITHOUT modifying it and then compile it and it still fails with the same error. Idk what it is. For images i dont decompile at all i just throw them in there. But when i mess with an xml thats when i compile.
Ive compiled other APK's fine. I dont know why that one hates me so much.
I'm sorry rains Im a disgrace I didn't even allow my lazy ass to release the update I promised well raais ill help u with this
Do you have GIMP image edit program? its a vital tool
The phone icon is in contacts.apk
(Ic_launcher_phone_icon) or something
EDIT: its a goood idea to decompile systemui.apk using apkmanager with the framework-res.apk also in the place here for modify folder

If all you do is decompile and only mess with the xml's without modifying the images and then recompile but it still gives you errors then it has to be one of the xml's your editing that's causing it.
You probably already know that but thats all I can think of.

I think the systemui file is just bad to begin with. Without edits it still craps out.
Wait so you tried decompiling and recompiling right after without edits? And it still didn't work? Then it must have to do with apk tool. Did you try replacing the "1" in the apk tool folder with framework-res.apk?

Yep, its total garbage. And i did apktool if framework-res.apk with the corresponding framework-res.
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'm having an issue with changing the data signal bars on Valhalla black....I chose icons and picked blue steel icon pack which includes the bars aswell as most all the icons on the status bar.....all the status icons are changed to blue steal but the data bars,I'm not understanding it....I made multipal changes such as flip animation in window,battery,and font and evreything is as I want it....just not the main thing I wanted....the dang bars I really wanted the blue steal signal bars.
Not trying to high Jack this thread....just figured better here than making a new thread based on similar question.

I believe it has something to do with the zip UOT makes so try and grab the UOT zip and unzip it then unzip the rom its from. Then move over the systemui, framework-res and twframework-res to their appropriate folders rezip the rom n reflash then come back n hit the thanks button

The way eoliie told me a while back worked perfectly, and I used tons of mods. Just push the uot. Apks into their respective spots using a root explorer, then reboot and fix permissions. Work perfect

So I followed these steps and it worked flawlessly...
Picture is just for verification...
And for some reason I'm on blue cwm instead of red...is that cuz of an update?

Unzipping and pushing will work.
Once I figured out that changing the update binary option to galaxy I never had the issue of it bootlooping me.
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.

i take it i can find the zip in the system files of the rom?
nvm i get what your saying
I have every mod from UOT working fine. I pushed all THREE apks, and just changed the boot animation manually like you should. Push SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk AND twframework-res.apk... My phone boots up so fast, thought, that my boot animation doesn't have time to finish, lol.

as long as you DO NOT post the rom with YOUR changes, I don't think you have to worry about the rom maker.
