[GUIDE] How to edit and replace your battery animation. - XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps

Alot of ppl wonder how to change the battery animation so here you go.
I know that it can be done manually by extracting .apk and then editing the files,
but using UOT Kitchen is just too damn simple so why even bother.
Even tho UOT Kitchen is easy enough some of the users dont know what to do there so imma take some screenshots to break it down.
1. Use Root Explorer or any other method to get framework-res.apk from /system/framework
2. Head to UOT Kitchen and upload your framework-res.apk as shown on the screenshot.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. After the file is uploaded move to Battery tab and pick out wich animation you want for ur framework. You can also check out bootanimations... the list they have is quite good, but you have to know where bootanimation.zip is located on ur ROM.
4. After clicking Generate Preview you can head to Summary tab. Everything should be green n "Submit work to kitchen" clickable. Do that... click that damn button and head to pickup page. It shouldnt take longer than 5-10m. Dont forget ur order number tho.
The file will comes in .zip form what can be installed trough xRecovery - "Install custom zip"
You can also extract the .zip and push framework-res.apk to its place manually.
Thanks to user propc who made a script for changing framework so its quite easy. Script and tutorial on using it at.
And tyvm UOT devs for making life easier.
I have used UOT Kitchen to edit frameworks of different 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs so it should work on all of em.
Back up your rom before making any changes cause editing system files can brick your device.

Hope you enjoy
Tested in Mini Pro
Flashed your theme on a freshly installed CM 6 3.03. I've got the icons but no modded notifications bar nor reboot menu. Any ideas, suggestions ? And also in CyanogenMod settings there are no other themes than stock ones. Should I unzip the archive into CMtheme folder on SD card ?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I did a little browsing and found that Xeno CyanoGen theme has an extra zip that if I understood corectly should be placed inside CMtheme folder. It contains a .xml file. Just sayin.
I put the theme xml attach, just extract and copy to the sdcard CMthemer.
but not needed here
It seems I can't get it to work, status bar icons won't change. That's a shame coz out of all the themes this was the most beautiful.

It is normal that "framework-res.apk" is "framework-res.zip" in your update.zip ?

You have to upload your framework.res and systemui.apk so the themes are generated specifically for your rom.
It is a great tool for making themes, I have made three this morning it really is brilliant will upload a pic of my latest theme shortly
I have tried doing this loads of times, but when it comes to uploading framework-res and systemUI it just gets stuck on uploading. Does it take a really long time?
Thanks
EDIT: Never mind it's working now

Not ever so, try clearing your cache on your browser and try again. Should take around 5mins or so to upload both files depending on your connection

DSC ROM (and other 407 roms), statusbar battery mod

I do not like the uninformative default battery icon in the statusbar of gingerbread roms like DSC.
UOT kitchen seems not to work with our framework. So I took the images from UOT Kitchen and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778 and put them into streakmod recovery update zips for convenient use.
Fortunately that works just by replacing the png-image files in /system/framework/framework-res.apk without resigning. So this update files should work on other 407 based roms or patched 407-frameworks as well.
I made 3 versions
dsc_obat.zip - the boring original battery icon
dsc_dbat.zip
looks like

have fun,
hunderteins
I need to say I love the approach
I thought of it, and it was there already!
I was just thinking of asking this!
and, it's here already.
Thanks for this!
Trying out the dbat now
Are there any zips like this to change the dialer?
still searching for ^ this.
Otherwise - I think 2.2 is a wonderfully fast ROM!
Thanks,
Sony.
P.S. - If we replace the png files only ( in your zips ) - will it still be ok?
I can replace it with some other files there - like the digital numbers only kind - and post it here. If it's ok with you.
Thank you again for the work!

Just to let you know, UOT Kitchen does work on DSC 2.2's files as G-Rave's theme for DSC used it for the battery indicator. However, you have to be sure to upload both framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk to the kitchen. This is because the battery indicator appears in both apps, and only changing one of them doesn't work.

[MOD][SENSE][AOSP][ICS]MIUI V4 Lockscreen for all ICS holo unlock roms

Howdy Lter's I've got a little treat for everyone.
Okay so this is pretty simple
what you need
archive manager [optional] (if you dont feel like recompiling apks via apkmanager etc (wont cover this here)
attached is a zip file with the images needed to pull of this modification.
so take the rom you want this mod on and extract framework-res.apk
place it in a folder, for things like this I usually put them on the desktop. so we'll name the folder senseframework
now make another folder, or download the attachment and extract
so now we have two folders senseframework and v4lock
open both folders side by side
here's the (not hard) but annoying part
in the sense framework folder after decompiling or extracting the apk navigate to res drawable hdmi xhdmi etc find the holo (white) lockscreen components, do note the files with in the zip may not exactly match in sense but it is easy enough to spot what is what, I search in explorer for lock and all the images needed to pull this off apear I believe. there may be the odd mms.png but when it's all in front t of you it's simple to spot. so now the renaming begins.{!DO NOT RENAME ANYTHING IN THE SENSE FRAMEWORKFOLDER OR AOSP!} the only renaming takes place in the miuilock folder. so yea you rename the miui images e.g. lock_phone.png in miui folder will be renamed to ic_phone_lock.png once youre done renaming the images in the miui folder you can then select all files in the folder and paste into the sense or aosp folder or drag and drop into the apk archive once thats all done the mod is basically done
I have not yet figured out the proper smali/xml edits need in ics to make some of the graphics found in the lockscreen on miui e.g. orange highlight etc
this is a little rough at the moment ill get around to posting screenshots soon
but basically you get the lock of miuiV4 on Aosp and Sense, for sense youll need to remove the htc lockscreen parts.
here are before and after shots

Dev's, modders hackers kangers feel free to use this in your roms all I ask is that you credit me
and to make things easier Ill be editing the images for the mod well renaming them to the proper names for sense 4.+ and aosp
reserved
I got this one............just in case
Thanks man, very cool mod and nice tutorial as well
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Awesome man. I have a special patch that may make this guide unnecessary though. It pushes images into compiled apks sort of like the villain Rom theme system, which unfortunately does not work on sense 4.1. Hit me up on gtalk if you want it...
