Hi, I've tried to create a custom theme from UOT Kitchen for my (CDMA) HTC Desire 2 diff ways- 1) uploading my current existing Framework-re.apk but it ends up w/a SHTF Error log each time, then I tried picking from the pulldown to match the rom I currently have which is CM 6.1.0 which does give me the file I need, I reboot my phone w/recovery to install it and then all I get is a Boot-Loop (with the new image i created) & wont let me go on?? Any feedback would be VERY helpful & appreciated as I am a bit of a Noob to this whole modding/customizing on cell phones, but learing quickly. Along w/my CM 6.1.0 Im using Clockwork recovery & also have Launcher Pro (whether those make any diff or not) PLEASE Help as this is getting very aggravating
I Tried to create CM7 theme using UOT Kitchen by providing Androidian.apk after it was cooked I pushed the apk in system/app but it didn't appear in the theme Chooser,but the count of theme was increased..please help me in making cm7 themes
Thankyou

They have a remedy for that on their site:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. unzip your rom and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. put this file in UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
Workaround worked very well...but the issue is still there..
I couldn"t see the theme in the theme chooser list...
Wiped cache ,Dalvik Cache but no good...
Any help..please....
Don't know the issue but now I could see the theme in list..by flashing the file today...
Thanks all...

I believe it will only appear in Theme Chooser if it's an AKP File that you install flashing through recovery just apply the theme but won't appear in theme chooser.
I had a similar problem, but the thing is, it is there. It is really tiny and squeezed between two other themes ( you can see which by looking at the count, when it suddenly jumps to up, you have passed it). It still works well when you've applied it though
Did you installed or flashed the new theme..coz flashing solved my problem.

Hi there! I tried to mod the appearance of my phone using the UOT Kitchen. But am stuck after creating my UOT ZIP file. I assumed we have to flash the UOT Zip file using CWM Recovery mode. I tried that, and it fails to install the zipped files due to a "signature error". Any idea how to fix this?
The UOT Kitchen site does give a workaround to this problem, saying in case of error, we can manually replace the META-INF file zipped inside the UOT file with the Meta-Inf file which can be extracted from the phone's ROM. I am on KF3 Rooted, and extracting the KF3 ROM only gives some Bin files......so my problem is how to find the original META-INF file? Anyone knows this?
So no one has used the UOT Kitchen mods for their SGS II here? No answers?
Do you have a link to the UOT Kitchen thread?
Hi, Johncmolyneux. Thanks for your reply. Yes, now I have it and have posted my question there also. But that thread has 426 pages and am not sure how soon I'll get a reply there. So I'm hoping someone may see my query here also and reply. So waiting for a useful answer on either of these threads now. Thanks.
I installed a UOT Kitchen Mod, my 1st time
I probably did something wrong...unless they just don't work but I doubt that because one or 2 of the options are for SGS2 specific roms
Anyways, I got stuck in boot loop and had to restore everything
I might try again later when I have more info about it
i am using the uot kitchen online without any issues. uploading files that they need. always work like a charm!
I have used uot kitchen with both stock, vr and cm7, almost always worked perfect, had to untick generate preview for theme closer for cm7 though.

do it here mate
http://uot.dakra.lt/
and upload
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
twframework-res.apk
pick what ever u want...if your rom supports costum bootanimation u can do that 2. but the lockscreens aint working anyway enough to make the ROM diferent
as said a few post up; always upload framework-res.apk , systemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk when generating a theme with UOT Kitchen.
Also DO NOT forget to always wipe cache and dalvik-cache in CWM prior to apply the generated zip (wipe cache, dalvik-cache then flash the zip, and after that reboot ).
a few selected set of icons sometimes not apply properly with our SGS2 (kalagas mainly is a bit tricky for that )
if manually correcting the unchanged images is outside of your possibilities, ask in the UOT thread, they are generally really helpfull and Mendozinas respond generally really quickly
as Hunteres said, lockscreen don't work for us, as Quick settings in the notifications tab(that is for Sense Rom) everything else works generally like a charm
All done yesterday itself. There was only a small issue of disabling signature verification and Mendozinas replied pretty quickly. Other than Boot Animation, Lock screen everything else works on a Stock KF3 Kernel. You don't even need to wipe the cache/Dalvik cache before flashing. It's optional & just a precaution.
I found UOT Kitchen and I am really glad it exists because I would have no clue how to make my own custom theme. However I still have a couple questions.
First has to do with the boot animations. In the bar labeled select place for bootanimation, what do I select?
Next question is, can I flash this over another ROM? I want to use the Ginger-Funk ROM to get rid of some bloatware, increase battery life, etc.
And my last question is has to do with how the UOT zip actually changes things. For example, if I uncheck sliding tab in the lock screen tab does it remove the sliding tabs or just not skin them?
Any responses are greatly appreciated, I'm new to all of this and have been researching for awhile now and I'm getting antsy lol.
1 system/media
2 yes
3 it just won't skin them
Tap'n on my LIBERATED X2
That was faster than I expected. Glad I found these forums and thanks a lot!!
If I could bother you for one more question, is there a way to get rid of the sliding tabs? I prefer the lock pattern and it's kind of annoying to unlock my phone twice.
Edit: There are two options for system/media:
Cyanogen ROM
Galaxy S GB ROM
Does it matter which one?
Also there was one thing I missed. When it asks for screen size what do I select. The choices of resolution seem like they are too low for the DX2 or any phone with a large screen. I promise this is the last question I have looked around but haven't found anything =/
What two files did you upload to it? I tried system.hi and framework but when everything was done, I tried to flash it and it said syntax error with updater script.
Any ideas?

The files u upload are framework Res.apk and system ui.apk... at the end when u upload the files u HAVE TO CLICK AMEND SCRIPT make sure u aren't loading the whole framework folder

I am having the same problem with the syntax error. I chose amend script and still received a syntax error. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it possible to manually push the cooked files onto the phone?

So it worked with out a custom boot animation? I can always figure out how to add one manually later on.

Ok, well I just made a theme this time without the custom boot animation however this time I am getting a (status: 0) error. The work around on their site says to swap the update-binary file from your ROM with the one in the zip you get from them. However, my ROM doesn't contain an update-binary file... I might try flashing a different ROM and see if I can get it to work.

Your using edifying scripting not amend use amend and you won't have that error
Tap'n on my LIBERATED X2
And I quote
" I've tested flashing custom UOT themes on Gingerbread and they work just great. I've included a link to the stock android files so you can now cook your own custom themes in UOT Kitchen. The only elements that don't work are boot animations lock screens. Use amend scripting and load up the two files in the zip below and you're good to go. Have fun! Once you have the zip from UOT, just flash it like a rom in recovery."
So far uot kitchen works on any rom I have tried and I am currently using gingerfunk'd also
Even with amend, no boot animation, and no lock screen, it says updated error.
Where is the updater file on ROMs?

couple of questions. if you use the kitchen will you keep the 1% battery and pulldown toggles or does the kitchen cause you to lose that, can the original files be replaced to revert back to original look? sorry don't mean to hijack the topic.. kitchen has always intrigued me.
** for battery and toggles, is it as simple as copying my service.jar file from my current system after flashing the kitchen theme?

No all of the battery mods have the 1% I believe

You need to feed the kitchen the files for the current ROM your using. Both SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk . If your on motogingerfunk you can get these files in a zip in that thread or you can move them off your phone or grab them from your roms zip. The toggle if you have them are in systemui.apk and wont get themed but should still be there. The 1% battery is in a different file entirely and will be fine. USE AMEND SCRIPTING
Lockscreen/Bootanimation do not work

HI Guys, i wan´t to replace contacts.apk, mms.apk and a few more. I tried several times to replace them with update.zip (i'm rooted, with CWM). always with error (tried first with amenda and then with edify). Could you please help me? I totally lost.
I attach the .apk's i want to include in update.zip
Thanks in advance!
Ok, finally i did it in a very silly and easy way actually. Just replace .apk's with Android Commander using PC.
Results in attached images
Anibody know why are the second original dock icons on S2?
I dont know where you got the apks from but if they came from a certain ROM then the theme from that ROM comes incluced with them.When I downloaded a different dialer for my black/blue themed ROM the phone and contacts icons also changed cos the theme from the dialers ROM changed them.
