How do I take away different pieces of the roms and put it into mine right now? I'm on icbinb 2.3.7 v2, but i want to take away the beats audio from the pure entity rom and the whole ics look from the valhalla black, Can anybody help me with this?
download root explorer from market its a very usefull tool that allows you to modify, move, copy, paste, delete, and so on. you can use this to extract apk files from one rom and paste them in system/app
To accomplish what the OP is asking will require a lot more than swapping some apk's...
Start reading in the general android section about theming... That should keep you busy for a while.

Actually root explorer can be used to do most if not all what the OP is asking .....plus much more.
In my opinion......if you like flashing and being creative.....you should have root explorer....it will allow you to do sooo much.
If everyone here would get it and learn to use it.... there wouldnt be so many questions and requests.
I personally have created what I feel to be a master piece by compiling several roms and theme packages and other tweaks into one using root explorer and then when I was happy with what I did I took everything I liked and zipped it up for future flashing
I now have a completely bloat free rom that has exactly what I want that only weighs 109 mb's.
So if I feel froggy and wanna flash a different rom and don't like it for what ever reason....I just flash the one I compiled together.....and I'm happy again lol

And also I am not claiming this works with all apk's but all that I have tried have worked. I have Miui music player, tweaks from SCOM, themes from Miui plus others and I'm running Pure Entity. You may also need to reboot and maybe fix permissions. Every time I flash a new row I use TB to save apk's that I like and next flash they are part of my restore that is another way

If you want icbinb to look like vb, you need more than root explorer...

I'll post this in pretty basic terms for ease of reading.
A kernel in general terms is what makes the phone run. It's the nuts and bolts. In linux you have different kernels and they all provide certain features. ROM's run on the kernel and provide the screens if you will, the features of the phone. Kinda like your computer's operating system.
Modems/Radios are firmware that control the baseband radio chipsets on your phone device to communicate to the data network for your carrier. You connection to your carrier. Specific to your phone and carrier.
When you have an odexed system you basically have apk's and odex files inside of your file system. The idea behind it is that odex files load up on boot to help speed up loading the APK's. However, it makes it hard to modify the system APK's since it loads parts from odex and parts from the APK.
Deodexing is basically repackaging the APK's and odex files so that they are reassembled and therefore making sure the application package is back in once piece.
This allows the ability to make theming modifications (battery, clock color etc.) without conflict, knowing that the application package is back together.
There are no ROM's per se yet for the SGS4G there is the Bali Kernel which adds some great enhancements made by Dr Honk, see it in the SGS4G android development forum.
There are also SGS4G deodexed kernels such as VUVKD1 DEODEXED from Krylon360 or Whitehawkx, also in the Android Development forum. These builds of the kernel provide the ability for theming, with Whitehawkx build you have the ability to do custom lock screens, there is a mod for supporting custom boot animations etc.
Hopefully this helps you understand more

So there is VUVKB5, VUVKC1 (Unreleased engineering build), VUVKD1 (Latest Build).

ok, so Krylon360 is working on CWM for the SGS4G and (at some point) talks about using KD1, so how can I go about flashing KD1 to my phone without using a windows PC (i have a mac)?
Sorry for noob question. I've been studying hard lately and with all the recent developments it had been overwhelming. Anyway.
I have been trying to download the modded recovery binary needed for CWM 3.0 directly to my phone using the multiupload link provided by Krylon360.
When I try to download it on my phone I get cannot download content not supported on my phone. Am I doing something wrong that I can't download straight to my phone? Do I need to check to a box somewhere?
Do I have to download the recovery binary and CWM to a computer first and then to my phone?
Is there a way I can do this with just my phone? I have Root explorer pro, super manager, file explorer, ect...I was really hoping to do it using my phone because I don't have full time access to a pc.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

I downloaded it to my computer and then moved it to my phone using Awesome Drop (found in the Market) and then put the binary in the proper folder using Root Explorer but since you don't have full time access to a computer I don't know how you would go about this. I would suggest just using the limited time that you have on the computer, it should only take a few minutes

Go into root explorer and go to /system/bin and then paste the file there. It will prompt to overwrite the.current recovery file and just replace it although I suggest copying the original to your external SD card first just in case

Isn't most custom roms deodexed anyways?

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
If your happy with just stock then that's cool. If your lazy just to delete/freeze bloatware. Your going to have to still restore your apps when you do a custom ROM anyways. Might as well put it into practice. There's also the Bali Kernel which helps with battery life and flashing themes is cake. But then again I'm used to flashing when I had my Vibrant and TeamWhiskey Roms and themes when they used to push them out almost every week or so.
I agree with beefvvl! It is not a big deal at all to delete and freeze your bloatware. What does it take like 5mins max???? And really after flashing a new rom i think most people if they know a lil something can take care of the bloatware and restore apps and launcher setup in like 10 or 15 mins. I agree u might as well put it in to practice anyways. Practice=Speed!

Its not very wise to start mixing and maxing frameworks from different ROMs. Also I have put alot of work into my ROM, and though I dont mind, if anyone wants to use it in parts or as a whole .... Just PM ME. Like the Matrix theme going on, it looks great , and has some Bionix goodness baked into it. Take it "account disabled" into thought, and just rest assured its for a reason.

You're a big boy now. Use your words to express the kind of help you seek, otherwise we can only guess as to the difficulty you are having.
That first part was unnesscary. Anyways it just seems a little complicated and I don't know how the whole process works. Just two things I guess, is the theme I produce in the kitchen a rom or is it just a framework I apply and it doesn't replace the rom I'm using. And do I need to make copies of my framework and that other thing and upload it to the kitchen to make my theme?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
Your going to need two files...copy the ones you have on your phone.. system.ui.apk/framework-res.Apk...... then whem your building the theme you like you will add those last.. it will ask you to upload those.. do it...wait till the kitchen makes the theme and place it on the sd card.. flash it.....that's it.. it just adds whatever u made to your current set up your on.. either stock or a rom your on.. or theme.. it will substitute the parts you made and use those instead ...goodluck
It can also be called "SystemUI.apk" right?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
OK I did the kitchen and it worked. I have a different status bar and lock screen. Although the boot animation didn't work, probabily because of my rom.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
Are you using a ROM with TouchWiz? If so, you will need three files. Connect your phone to your comp and go into /system
From there, go to /apps and copy SystemUI.apk to the desktop. Then go back a folder and go to /framework From there, copy framework-res.apk, and if you have touchwiz, copy twframework.apk to the desktop. Upload these files to UOT when you get to that step.
Once you get the new files from UOT, save it to the desktop and open it. Delete the three previous files you copied to the desktop, then search the one you got from UOT, for the same 3 files.
Now, pay attention, and get Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Open the app of your choice that will let your explore your file system. Find the 3 same files we've been dealing with in their respective locations on your phone, using the file explorer. (after you've transfered the ones from UOT to THE ROOT of your sd card) Copy the 3 UOT files over the ones already in your phone, which you will find in their previosly disclosed locations.
Once copied, IMMEDIATELY reboot to recovery and fix permissions.
Substitute "3 files" for "2 files" if not using Touchwiz.
Hope this helped!
---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------
Also, you can just straight copy the UOT files to their respective locations in the .zip of the custom ROM you are using, and flash the ROM.
Yea I have the twframework apk in my system, does that mean its touch wiz?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
yes. and follow my instructions above, or you will start to have errors. Definatel force closes.
The fact that the status bar wasn't changing could have been due to the fact that I wasn't adding my touch wiz framework?

This message "WAS" for mendozinas but last post i found from him was in 2011. i do thank for having a kitchen like this to customize pretty much anything for my phone (p500) Optimus one. I was informed that the kitchen will not support ics based so i flashed over Slimgen 1.6.0 (android 2.3.7) i just made some themes for the rom, havent tried them yet. I did upload the Framework.res and SystemUI.apk of the rom so hopefully it will work this time. I was wondering If anyone can add my rom (well the rom im using) on the kitchen list. SlimGen 1.6.0 here is the link to download the rom itself. im sure you already know.
http://code.google.com/p/slimgen-pro...downloads/list
Regarding to Mendozinas only. (Please reply back if you recieved my message. thanks agian. i do appreciate it. I sent you a PM figuring it will get to you quicker but i realized you must have many Pm's about certain questions. So maybe this will do the trick.) Regarding to Mendozinas only.
I tried to trouble shoot myself, still in early dev mode for me (learning the ropes) but i made a copy of the rom i have and plugged in what was from the UOT file that was giving to me from the kitchen. I made a flashable zip on my desktop and place it on the root of my sdcard. Booted into recovery...flashed it but still i get the same message. Am i using a correct rom for this or what?
Im attaching the UOT file i made so if u may need to look at it its there, any info you want from me just ask, im very greatful for the help, would really like to make different themes on my phone for start then move to rom modding .
I would really like a step by step if possible so i may get this theme up and flashed on my phone so i may make different ones for future needs.
Thanks again and hopefully i will be hearing from you.
(I posted this up couples days ago. but nobody is dealing in that thread i guess, So hopefully one of you are more familiar using the kitchen then i am.) 07-30-12 date.
I hope i gave the right information to lead me into the right direction soi may start understanding how to work around such problems like this. Thanks
