Hi, what rom are you talking about? I can't find what your saying in Froyobread
I'm using FBv012 and UOT. To install uot go to Xrecovery>partition tools>mount system and data>then back>Install custom zip
I think modded status bar will work if you choose settings>cm settings>user interface>tweaks extras>select a theme>Gingerbread

btw I can apply only some modifications to the status bar like icons but text on the status bar does not work and also I can't change the status bar background too. Please help... how do u do it?
In UOT Kitchen, in the file upload section you can chose either Edify scripting of Amend scripting. Chose Amend. Then flash in xRecovery.

ok I think i tried this out before, but anyways I will check it out again just in case. Did you try it in FroyoBread or any other ROMS?
Can you please post all the required neccessary settings so I know what to apply?
And can I flash the zip file by selecting the option "Install custom zip" in xrecovery?
Thankyou...

I have used it on FroyoBread and Racht's Froyo. You just choose what ever you like in the kitchen, leave everything as it is in the fileupload section except change to Amend scripting and select to upload just the framework.apk Yea then you flash in xRecovery through the "Install custom zip" option.

ok so I did what you told me and guess what? -------> IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
Tell me when you edit the status bar can you apply text on to it and change its background? Because that's the only bit that is not working for me!

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.

So if I make a custom theme in UOT kitchen, I can just make it a theme to use in Theme Chooser?
Do I still have to flash anything in Recovery?
And I thought boot animations couldn't be changed with a Theme Chooser theme...
Edit: OK so I got the zip, and does appear that yes I need to flash it, since its more than just an .apk. But is all of the mods done in Theme Chooser or are some independent (ex. boot animation).
Also, read somewhere else that flashing a new ROM build won't undo the custom mods. True?
Edit 2: "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author"
There something special we have to do out of the norm?

You can technically make a theme Chooser APk. But it never worked for me. I had to use the zip way. And had to use every workaround to get it to work. Its true that it does modify things other than theme Chooser files. But flashing a new rom wipes everything.

You can pull the .apk out of the zip file and apply it using theme chooser.
I have had the best success using the empty theme apk available from the UOT site, just make sure you uncheck the "Theme chooser preview" box on the upload tab and choose CM7 theme.
It won't apply the boot animation, but you can also extract the bootanimation.zip and apply the boot animation through romtools.

Even with 'theme chooser preview' it still fails for me. did a straight .zip from files and most all works. Did battery, animation, and font fine. Icons didn't seem to take however
Edit: Scratch that, icons took too. Just had to undo the 'Bionic Blue' theme and go back to 'System'
I just created a theme using the UOT Kitchen. Not all options can be used since they don't yet support qhd resolution, but that is supposed to be fixed soon. I was able to create a theme with the following elements: digital battery indicator (10% increments), Dr. Droid icons, Rudolf screen animations (great feature), Ubuntu font and Tesseract boot animation. Note that the boot animations won't fill the screen because they don't support qhd yet, so pick one that will always be black around the edges to look right. Also, I wasn't able to get some icon packs to flash, so I'm not sure which ones will work other than the one I used.
When you make a theme with boot animation, be sure to select the Galaxy S GB ROM. Also, when you upload your files, you have to select amend scripting and have Patch9 selected. There's no need to select the theme preview option for theme chooser since our ROM doesn't have this.
I'm running a rooted, locked stock ROM with cwm bootstrap recovery. You must be rooted and have some type of recovery. Be sure to wipe cache and delvik cache before flashing and nandroid a backup before you flash just in case something goes wrong. Happy themeing!
Edit:
Here's a link to my theme described above.

Be sure to select amend scripting when you upload your files, it's not checked by default.

Yeah I didn't do that before. I'll try it out! Thanks!
UPDATE: Yup, it worked. Thanks so much for the reminder to select the amend scripting...I seriously need to go back to school and learn how to read.
Amend scripting is apparently no longer supported by my version of CWM (v5.0.2.7-photon3). Any ideas? Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but it seemed preferable to do this than start a new one.
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?

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

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.
