So I installed a Market CM7 theme. I found it on my phone (root/data/app) and pulled it to my computer for modding. But it's a zip file.
I want to mod it and then flash/or install it.
How do I install this zip file? I was expecting it to be an apk file.
Obviously it's not a flashable file since it installed via market initially.
You will get the Market using CM7 when you flash the GAPPS file... and all the other Google APPS.... did you load the GAPPS zip file like the instructions on the CM7 install instructs you to do.
LOL. of course I have Market installed. I already said I installed it via Market.
see post below
You downloaded it via Market and it was a zip? Weird...I didn't even know that was possible via market. It should be an apk. Both are just compressed and can be opened with 7zip/winzip/winrar but still zip themes usually imply recovery flash to replace apks or at least metamorphs.
Edit:
Ah, I take that back...I do have one market app that is a zip (or at least that's the extension). I'm guessing you just do whatever you would to an apk edit-wise. For installation, you might just be able to rename it .apk if the same tools were used to create it. Otherwise, extract and make it yourself maybe.
ok looking at the theme "apps" in the market. the instructions are in the app description. it says open theme chooser app in cm7.

Yes, once installed they are visible in theme chooser. He's asking about actually installing one after modifying it.
So guys did everything and downloaded the UOT I created. When trying to install it as a zip I had an issue. When I went to install zip from sd card it showed the UOT file but when I clicked on it, it just opened up in to 4 further folders. The system and meta and all that. So then I went to install zip from internal sd card and it appeared to work however it said status 0 and installation aborted... Whats going on?
Edit: Saw the workaround where you put the binary file in the UOT Zip, did so and now I get the "Bad error."
Everything is good thanks guys
I don't have any experience with UOT kitchen, but I do know update zips. After you placed the binary in the zip, did you resign it? Not doing so may be your problem.
Resign it? Sorry Im not sure what these means, still kind of amateur? Can you explain hah

By default our recovery doesn't check if the zip is signed, so this probably isn't the problem.
Alright. I pm'd the link to my buddy so he could see if the file is okay, so ill let you guys know if its okay.

I'm having the same issue, what did you do to correct it? I've tried the binary and resigning it.

Does anyone know what scripting I choose in the kitchen for [GB]Eclipse v.01? There is Edify, and Amend...... I've tried them both, but no luck.

Yeah thanks guys, sorry I didnt get on to say I fixed it.. But I already installed a new UOT, and Im having another problem! lol. I installed a uot and when I did it just says installing update...and doesnt change.
My ROM does not have an update-binary.....
I have made progress though.. Seems like the battery mod was conflicting with the CRT animation.
I was able to cook a moded black status bar with some tweaks.....
Anyway to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the stock status bar? it bleeds threw....
Also... have trouble with boot animation..... it will not flash no mater what I try.
Its located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
the flashable zip from UOT gives an systax error.... can I just manualy delete the old bootain and copy the new one pulled from the UOT Zip?
Can I do this with a root explorer? or do I need to do ADB?
**EDIT** I was able to delete system/media/bootanimation.zip and put the new "Bios Boot" one there... boots up like an old PC... its awesom... now if I can get the status bar overlap fixxed... and icons and battery

So I extracted xloud files from 2.3.3 Uk generic for everyone who needs it

for me don't work with latest MIUI rom, install aborted via recovey mod.
ps: how i can change build.prop and settings.apk because im noob
or if you have ready to install .zip xLoud 2.3.3, build.prop and settings.apk for MIUI i can test it.

RAR and ZIP are two completely different compression methods, why would changing an extension do anything?
The OP said you have to extract the .rar (using WinRar) and put the two folders inside the Xloud 2.3.3 folder (Which is inside the rar) and put them into a .zip folder... how hard is that
he did't said anything like that.
anyway.. i've manually updated each file (of course after setting the right permissions to rw-r--r-- just like the originals). it doesn't work... xloud works but is still as crappy as 2.3.4
ooo... I miss 2.3.3 loudness... why sony had to brake it after just one firm update...

These are cool animations , metamorphs packages made by Poontab. Use zipthemer to flash them. Instructions and original post below. Work on our ICS roms using zipthemer. All of them look fantastic.

You need to update edify script according to rom you have flashed on your phone. Step 5 is just that. Open supreme, go to menu and update edify then point it to your Rom zip on your Intel our external card where ever you have it saved.

Getting late and I have to work in the morning but I will put something together about how to use zipthemer. I have used it on several phones and once you get it working, you can do a bunch of things with it. Create themes, custom boot animations, revert.zips. You can also take pieces from different themes and package theme all together into one update.zip with an undo.zip just in case. I'll put it together in the morning.
I just figured it out...
Go to Zip Themer
Click on +Theme
Click on the green arrow and navigate to the zip file you want to use
Click on build it! then select if you want it to create a revert flash able zip
After it's done building the flashable file go into recovery mode and flash the file zipthemer created (it's not in a folder).
Fix permissions
Reboot

Bingo.
It also works with Metamorphs too (if anyone needs some, I have a ton-just PM me). Say you want to revamp your whole status bar.
All you do it hit the +Theme and find your metaporphs (in zip form), and 1 by 1 add them in (*tip if doing this make sure the status bar itself it #1, if you are changing transparency or color. Then everything will build on top of it).
Now that you have all the morphs in there, click Build It (it is always prpbably the best idea to make the Undo.zip as well, just in case).
+Output just tells Zipthemer where to put the finished product.
Flash into recovery and install (I always wipe cache too). Don't like the finished product, reboot into recovery and flash the undo.zip and no harm no foul.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong, but no matter what steps I take, when I flash the file created by zipthemer, nothing gets changed. It still has the regular animation that came stock on the rom.
Same here I don't know if its the Chaos animation that is similar to the stock one possibly? I did exactly what he said and im getting same stock animation, once i get home i'll try to download another one.

I was thinking the same thing with chaos, so I tried Rubik, but it was a no go also.

I have tried most of them and they work. I don't know why it wouldn't work for you guys? Post your framework-res.apk or what rom are you using, may be i can add them for you.
I will give you framework once i get home, also where is it located?
and I am using ICS Passion, no idea about the other guy.

That's for unsigned apk.
This is a re-signed apk, can be installed on unrooted stock ROM or rooted ROM.
Still nothing. Manual is on point, it needs to be put on system partition.
This was downloaded from HTC HUB, so if it get installed after resigned, and you can't see the widget in the widget list, my guess is it may not work for Sense 4.1 lite.

I decompiled the APK, removed the shared uid part, compiled it, pushed it to /system/app and the widget didn't show up. I signed it with my own certificate, pushed it to /system/app and still no luck.

There's an app called Aroma File Manager made by Amarullz, it is made to be used from recovery as a flashable zip, you just start it like you flash a zip from sd card. Maybe that can be used if there's a problem making flashable zip.
