Caution: UOT kitchen - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

Guyz, Do not ever flash the zip file obtained from UOT kitchen directly to the galaxy r. The Manifest and settings.uot files in the UOT zip file have the wrong configurations ie. not compatible with our phone. The assumed busybox location in the settings and Manifest file is wrong as a result when you flash the zip file it will only delete the original framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and twframework.apk but would not replace them with the modified ones from the UOT zip file. So when you reboot.....---> BOOT LOOP...dead end. I would suggest you to manually push the modified files to their respective locations. I myself ended up into a boot loop yesterday and as luck would have it even my nandroid backup had become corrupt...so had to flash a stock rom through odin..atleast it saved me.

Thanks saurabh.khare for the info.

i've used UOT kitchen many time and i didn't face any problem, when you are flashing the wrong zip file you will have these kind of issues for eg: once i've uploaded the stock ROM framework and flashed it on custom ROM then i faced these kind of issue's..

Yup me too, I've flashed uot-files several times. Never faced such issues.

Buddy I'm very much sure that I did nothing wrong. I extracted the files out of a rooted stock ROM(XWKI5) and flashed the cooked zip file over the same rooted Stock ROM through CWM. I have attached the file for you reference...If you could go through and point out where I went wrong I would be very glad

I have flashed files from UOT several times on Galaxy R without any errors(Both Stock Odex and Deodex ones). Not sure why you had issues.

Theming

Hey guys
So I have messed with my last android phone and pulling/pushing different APKs to mod/theme them. But how could I make my changes to say.... framework-res.apk into a flashable zip file that can be flashed from recovery? Thanks!
Unzip and you can edit the pngs
Use 7Zip, WinZip, ect. to re zip it

[Q] howto install UOT Files?

Hallo, I´ve problems installing UOT Themes via the recovery (clockwork mod 5.0.2). Trying to install the .zip files throws me "error 0". In the kitchen I have read to substitute a certain file from the rom, but having done this the installer aborts without doing anything. I can manually substitute the framework.res file via rootexplorer, but this isn´t elegant and annyoing.
Does anybody have experiences with this problem or a solution to this?
TIA
Marcus4Aspern
Yeah what I do is once I've done the theme downloaded it I get the update-binary file from the rom I'm using which is here in the zip file \META-INF\com\google\android\ and then exchange it with the one in the zip file from the kitchen and then flash it with CWM. I've done that with every theme I've done and its worked every time

Help needed for UOT Kitchen

Does anyone know hoe to make themes for gingerbread in UOT Kitchen?
When it comes to "file upload", I dont know what to do.
Please help.
If you have a gingerbread ROM then you have to unzip the ROM file you flashed and go into the folders (/system/framework and /system/app) To find the 2 files it requires.
If its froyo then only the frameworkres.apk is needed
The files are found within the zip file of the ROM you downloaded

Thanks. That seams more complicated then I thought.
Its actually really easy. What you need to do is get the rom you've installed and if its gingerbread, get the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk and upload those files.
Then once you've got the zip file from the kitchen, you will also need to get the update binary file from the rom too and replace the one in the zip from the kitchen and then put it on the sdcard and install from CWM.
It may sound a little daunting, but once you've done it once or twice it will become second nature

UOT Kitchen Help

UOT Kitchen states "you can now use kitchen with stock odexed roms (if you have .odex files in your rom - kitchen works for you too)". I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.6 ROM (odexed), rooted, with 3e Recovery on my SR. Trying to create a very simple battery icon and status bar mod using the Kitchen. Instructions say to upload your ROM's "framework-res.apk" and "systemUI.apk" files along with your theme changes... and Kitchen creates a cooked-up zip file you can flash. But have a few questions:
1) since it says it now supports odexed ROMs, do I also need to upload the "systemUI.odex" file along with "systemUI.apk" and "framework-res.apk files?
2) does the cooked up zip file contain "framework-res.apk", "systemUI.apk" and "systemUI.odex" files... or just the 2 apk files?
3) if only the apks, do I leave my original "systemUI.odex in /data/app folder... or move/delete it?
4) without CWM, can I extract the needed apks from the zip file created by the Kitchen and use Root Explorer to fix permissions and place files in their appropriate folders?
I posted these questions on the UOT Kitchen site, but they must be backed up as have not received any reply... hoping someone here on the SR Forum may have some experience with the UOT Kitchen and using odexed ROMs. Thx!
1. You need SystemUI.apk from /system/app, framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework
2.it will contain updates to framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemui.apk and might add to the system/media or any other area you elect to modify
3. dont touch the odex files. they will be needed as is.
4. maybe, maybe not. I always use CWM to install. Sorry.
