This is a method to install custom topbar themes without ADB.
I invite anyone to post their custom framework-res.apk and service.jar files in this thread for everyone to share.
I have included a Zip template that contains the framework-res.apk and service.jar, which you can replace, once people have posted them here. You can then use Clockwork recovery to install the Zip from SD card and apply the theme to your own de-odexed Rom (I don't think it will work with odexed file system).
Just follow the steps bellow to install.
Step 1. Download the Theme template here http://www.mediafire.com/?h6ey9w7pmwyhxev (thanks to Adlxdum for this file. Attached link at the bottom of the page also)
Step 2. Download custom framework-res.apk and service.jar files e.g. http://www.mediafire.com/?8et1sf1xl215bzz (thanks to Shamo42 for this file. Attached link at the bottom of the page also)
Step 3. Using Win Rar or similar, replace the framework-res.apk and service.jar files in the template found in system/framework with your downloaded custom files and save.
Step 4. Place your newly created Zip file anywhere on your SD card.
Step 5. Reboot to enter Clockwork recovery. Follow link on how to install if necessary
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
Step 6. Select install Zip from SD card, select your custom file and install. Once installed reboot, and thats it, you have a new theme!
Check out my one in the shots below.

To be able to flash the zip, you have to resign it once you have modified the files using testsign.jar (or autosigner...). Or maybe you can instruct the CWM recovery to skip signature verification (never tried that).

I tested this myself, and I didn't need to do that. I just replaced the files and installed with no problems. The screenshots show your original file "adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip" with Shamo42 framework and service files in place of yours, and that's what you get. Any idea why I didn't need to resign the zip?

Hey guys,
I really want to make a theme for slades rom but i just dont get how to make a flashable update.zip. Additionaly the new CWM requires edify-scripting -.- and here my update-zip-packager doesn't work anymore..for xrecovery it was just awesome..i already tried some amend2edify-converter, but that did not work either
So my question is, how can i make (or edit) an update.zip which can be flashed with the new CWM 3?
Thanks in advance,
nitro
i faced a similar situation today itslelf..n was ultimately forced to download the cwm version of slade's rom v5..
well if u just want to edit and replace apps n stuff, that can just b done in the sam way as any xrecovery rom...i used winrar to add n remove stuff from the rom n it works gr8
okay, thats an idea..but i want to make a theme..which means a flashable update.zip-file..does somebody know with what programm i can make such update.zips?
@ slade: how do you create your update.zips, e.g. the hotfixes with some single files?
Why don't you take a CWM package an unpack it via winrar/any other software? I'm quite sure there is an absolutely common folder structure following more or less the system folder structure and maybe there is one or there are more XML files in order to change some things in source files (e.g. change values in those *.hw files or whatever they are called) and to tell CWM what to do exactly.
As soon as you're done you simply zip it again (watch the folder structure).
***EDIT***
Ok, forget what I just posted. Had a look at one of slades zips and it's a little bit more than just an XML. Might not be smart to change stuff within that META-INF folder without knowing what you do.

Guys.....i always tried the boot animation from the UOT kitchen but after flashing the zip file , all the icons , battery mods and everything i customized changes except the boot animation...you must also have faced the same problem
i have a solution to the boot animation to make it work...the steps are
1) download the customised UOT kitchen file (u must select a boot animation while modding the online UOT kitchen)
2) with winrar open the UOT's zip file
3)browse to the system/media of the zip file
4) in the media folder there is a zip file named as sanim.zip, extract the sanim.zip file to your computer and rename it as bootanimation.zip
5)now paste that bootanimaton.zip file on your sd card, and using root explorer(the system sholud be mounted as r/w)...browse to the system/media folder and paste that bootanimation.zip file...it will ask to replace then press yes replace it....
6)now long press on the zip file you paste and change the permissions to

the bootanimation you can skip the recovery flashing step of the UOT zip file....after restart
you sill see your custom boot animation(TESTED BY ME ) working 100%
ill attach a zip file of bootanimation of heratbeat enjoy it directlty by replacing it as from step 5
View attachment bootanimation.zip

boot animation always worked, when I used UOT kitchen
maybe you use an unsuitable setting somewhere
the only thing not working here was lockscreen customization

Hi guys,
I'm turning to Resurrection Remix from Stock ROM, but I misses some of the stock apps. So before I moved to another ROM i have all the APKs and ODEXs ready. But after I build the ZIP with all the necessary directory and the updater-script file build using notepad++, CWM won't install it?
Any solutions? Thanks a million.

Look into the zip file, there is 2 folders.

In the first folder data, are ur apps like apk file.
In the folder meta inf are 2 file's.
Update binary and updater script.
In updater script is the script u can edit for ur cwm install routine.
I edited the script for the apk that not installed.
That's my way.

Hello guys!
I had been searching on Google to root via stock recovery, and i had made a zip which can be flashed through stock recovery but it was failed due to it was not signed using official key (which is not possible to get).
So i had created a tool (bat file) which can be used to yureka and yuphoria to root without unlocking bootloader and without any custom recovery.
Basically it uses adb push to device for root.
So here are the steps !
Download the zip file 'Root without UBL.zip' (Which is not flashable). LINK REMOVED BY VECTUS Beta version
Extract it.
You will get two folders 'META INF' and 'Root without UBL'. (Optional : You can delete META INF which is a signature)
Now go to 'Root without UBL' folder and Run 'Root.bat' file
Follow the instructions thats it YOU HAVE ROOTED

MODIFIED TWRP IMAGES FOR TITAN!Yeah, that's it. I was thinking about making twrp images for our device with every single color which you can found in this nice thread. Yes, I know that we can put the theme in /TWRP/theme/. But, why don't get rid of that annoying folder, make the change permanent, and most of all, share knowledge? That's what I'm going to do by making even easier the above guide, plus I'll be uploading modified twrp images (when I got time) ready to flash.
We need:
TWRP Image for titan.
Android Kitchen 2.4 for Windows. It's in the attachments section.
Uncompressed themes. You can choose your fav color there.
Patience and common sense.
1. Uncompress the Android Kitchen zip in your desktop (or any other folder), and download your favorite theme color. Uncompress it too.
2. Put the twrp image which you previously downloaded in the Android Kitchen folder (in the same folder where are the .bat files and so on).
3. Drag the image file to the "unpackimg.bat". There'll be a folder called ramdisk afterwards.
4. Go to ramdisk/twres/, and keep it open in a window. Remember the uncompressed theme folder from the first point? Well, open the uncompressed folder and move this: "images", "portrait.xml", "splash.xml", "ui.xml" to /ramdisk/twres. If windows asks if you want to move and replace these files, hit yes to everything.
5. Go back to the Android Kitchen Folder and click repackimg.bat; wait, and voilá, there'll be a new-image.img. Flash it from fastboot or from twrp itself (remember to check the "recovery" box). Click in "Reboot Recovery" to see how your twrp looks now.
That's all!
Images below are only for titan, not for thea/osprey/falcon. Just click the color, download and flash! They're ready to be flashed.

1. Drag the .img to the unpackimg.bat
2. A new folder (ramdisk) will be created afterwards in the same directory.
