I am trying to change the boot animation using the UTO Kitchen.
Currently on devoid froyo final.
When i select an animation and flash the generated zip, its not changing. Any one knows how i can make it work?
I selected place for boot animation option as froyo default (system/customize/resource)
the bootanimation.zip on devoid froyo is located at system/media/bootanimation.zip
UOT Kitchen will butcher devoids framework-res.apk it's best to start with a stock version. .9 pngs etc end up missing... trust me I've been down this road.
What are you trying to do the animation is easy to change just go download a animation you like or make your own (it is not a video its just a series of png files) and then copy the file paste it in the system/media, back up the current animation and rename the new one to bootanimation.zip and bam new animation just reboot I do it all the time using root explorer??????

I changed the battery icon on the notification bar using the kitchen. Do you advice against it? I don't know why my battery seems to drain faster after I put the battery mod. Or I may be imagining things......

If you compare the UOT kitchen framework-res.apk vs the devoid one (open with 7zip or winrar) you'll notice a lot of images are missing. If your battery life is worse this is the likely culprit.
There are custom themes available specifically for Devoid Froyo in the Themes and Apps section. In fact I need to get around to posting mine.... just lazy.

THIS IS FOR MODDERS AND THEMERS. The SystemUI.apk found here are for Simply Honey 3.8 while they will work on other JVP builds they will change your theme.
Found a thread on the Fascinate forums that pointed me to a thread on DroidForums that had step by step instructions. I've modified those instructions slightly. I have only tested this on GB, looks great, but Froyo instructions shouldn't cause any problems.
FOR GINGERBREAD:
1. Take your systemui.apk and decompile it
2. Navigate to layout folder
3. Grab "status_bar_tracking.xml" and open it up in your editor
(now for the fun).
4. Add to the first line - "com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView" add this ""android:background="@drawable/...anim.xml""
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/pulldown"...>
5. After saving that, navigate back into the drawable folder and add your animation.xml file there. (You may use the one here as a starting point, just modify for your needs. (Honeycomb goes 1 to 39 and starts over, Android goes 1 to 30 and back down again then starts over again.))
5a. Next navigate into the drawable/hdpi folder and add your animated images .
6. Also in the drawable/hdpi folder find and open up the shade_bg.png and status_bar_background.png with your editor and make it 100% transparent.
7. In values folder modify public.xml to account for all the new images. (See birgertime's thread for Public XML Helper tool, while the tool didn't give me a perfect public.xml it did give me a a basis to begin with and I only needed to change a couple of lines.)
8. Now it's time to recompile your apk , following all the usual directions with that.
9. Enjoy your newly created systemui.apk with a pretty cool animated background. new and fresh and unlike anything before. Now run on out and show it off to all your friends who own an iPhone.
FOR FROYO: Instructions are pulled word for word and I have not tested or tried. I'm assuming the steps are the same as above except using framework-res.apk instead of systemUI.apk
You need transparency hack enabled
Decompile framework-res.apk
Go to drawable-hdpi and make status_bar_background.png fully transparent with PS or GIMP
GO to layout and edit the 2nd line of status_bar_tracking.xml like this
<com.android.server.status.TrackingView android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background_animation" android rientation="vertical" android addingLeft="0.0px" android addingRight="0.0px" android addingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
where status_bar_background_animation links to status_bar_background_animation.xml in drawable folder, there you set the images and durations.
Recompile, and that's it. Enjoy

This looks awsome, would love to put this on a 2.2.1 rom, however the dropdown background is found in twframework.Res. does the status bar tracking.XML in that folder need to be modified instead or also. Thanks

By any chance is there a way to get a .zip of the images of the honeycomb dropdown? I'm having a terrible time decompiling the systemUI.apk, for some reason it fails each time in APKManager... thanks in advance
NM I got em, now it's trying to learn how to do the whole process...

Looks awesome. I am wondering if this would be possible on ICS ? I am running CyanogenMod 9 on my Vibrant...
Of course its possible you just need to find where the corresponding files are if in fact they've been moved.
I will say that while this mod was kind of fun for a second it did increase battery use. Not really worth the trouble and decreased battery and why I stopped doing it.

I'm trying to change the status/top bar of a CM7 theme using UOT Kitchen. The first time I ever attempted this was last night. Followed the instructions step by step; everything was good. But when I flashed it, nothing changed.
My question is, when uploading files to UOT it says for GB Rom's upload the framework and system apk. For CM7 Roms just upload the theme apk i.e. Cyanbread. Seeing how CM7 is GB thats where I'm confused. Should I upload just the theme apk or the framework and system apks? Or should I upload them all?

I read somewhere else that UOT might not be updated yet for 2.3.5 Gingerbread like the latest AOSP roms are running.

I only theme out my framework-res.apk and my SystemUI.apk. The SystemUI.apk is the stock look that you get on Gingerbread without any modifications. If you unzip if with 7zip you'll see what I mean. I've never flashed it into a live/booted rom. I modify my files pngs mostly and let the kitchen do the hard work (the files I still don't understand), then replace the SystemUI.apk and the framework-res.apk into the CMupdate.zip file. There is probably a more preferable way to do it, but I don't switch themes a lot (and the theme chooser doesn't theme everything I need anyway)
I know this way will work as I've gotten my edits into these today/yesterday

I can tell you that the first 2 are two different files so they won't conflict with anything unless you already have a "theme" you're using.
CRT animations resides in the services.jar file, which won't overwrite anything you currently have going, as it has no images and isn't related to the look of your phone.
The Zeus mods file up there is one I modified to have gingerbread icons, and is part of the system that most people modify to change signal bars, battery icons, etc (SystemUI.apk) so it will change what you currently have as those.
Not too sure about the beats.
The 7-in-1 reboot mod, I personally haven't looked at that particular file you linked, but if it is what I think it is, then that file won't change or overwrite anything either, as it is the android.policy.jar file, which like services.jar doesn't include anything that will change the theme, UI, or look of your phone.
Hope this helps.
Recap:
You can flash the first and last file without changing anything you currently have. And if you want gingerbread icons, you can flash the second one. You can easily take what you currently have (if you're using a theme or you just want to preserve the look of your SystemUI.apk) and insert it into the SystemUI.apk that's in the zeus mods file.
All you need is WinRAR or 7-zip. If that's what you're trying to accomplish, reply back and I will walk you through it.

OK so come to think of it I have all of the mods installed except the beats audio. When I installed the beats audio it canceled out the crt animations and I figured if I had to pick between crt and beats audio that I'd have crt animation. So I figured out that the crt and beats both modify the services.jar but I had no idea how to modify the services.jar file to incorporate crt and beats.

Just from reading a lot of ROM threads, you can only choose one or the other. I'm not sure if anyone has incorporated both crt+beats. You may want to check the infected eternity ROM thread and if if has them both, extract the services.jar file from that particular ROM.

Thanks to fernando sor for his 1% framework-res.
Works on RezRom. Thanks!
What did you use to make this? UOT? I noticed that trying to upload com.htc.resources.apk on there, the file is too big, which sucks, because I use it for every Rom I use. I hope they update the max size for ICS

I used the images from UOT and yanked my own framework-res in order to make it. It's a pain because ICS hasn't been available long enough for UOT to support it. But it's not too harsh. I'll put up a 1% soon.
There's a problem with decompiling ics system apks, me and Scott were just talking about this over in AC, it looks like there is a fix but you need to use 2 different versions of apk tool to recompile and compile the framework and systemui apks

Yes you can swap the images with whatever you'd like. Look in /system/app/framework-res.apk You have to uncompress it like a zip file, then in the res/drawable-hdpi and res/drawable-xhdpi replace the stat_sys_battery* icons with your own. Then zip it back up(use store compression) , replace your framework-res.apk with the one you just created and you're all set.
Would I have issues flashing the 1% zip if I already flashed the 10% zip?

thank you so much for posting this...i have already replaced a few icons i couldnt stand thanks to this
Hello everyone, i want a different lockscreen. I am using a launcher app from experiment.zip from i dont know anymore x( . And its 1 apk which divide in three apps if i use the launcher it crashes my phone and reboots xP. But i am able to use other 2 apps but they dont work 100% and i can only use the theme/lockscreen which only trigger the new lockscreen. And not the theme and icons. And i want to replace default with one off them (still need translation). Because everytime u reboot it use ur default framework-res apk one if correct and take maybe a few minutes or few screen off/on which triggers it but a few times after eachother which in case interrupt ur action xP. So is it possible to 7zip it in framework-res or in the defined app for it. Or does it need to be decompiled/recompiled which is tricky if correct aswell. Any help would and will be apreciated. Didnt know if i can post names of apk used. Let me know if its no problem i edit then a bit xP.

I noticed that it is depending on my roms what frameworks work.... i have a stockbased rom, so i thought frameworks of stockbased roms should be working, unfortunately they werent all, and that can also be caused by systsmUI. Thats for what.my experimental phase lasted till now, i didnt come to edit packages (test phase :/)

No to bad it isnt a zip file which i can flash. Its a weird extention. (.mtz)it can be opened with IZArc tool or renamed to zip experimented a bit already. It contains all images and manifest file with directions language etc. And a file named plain lockscreen. Which is also can be renamed to .zip. And i extracted them which have images and xml file aswell. I was just looking in the manifest. It uses smali code in de main app for the lockscreen. which i installed and reboots my phone on launch everytime. Is it possible to integrate those pieces of smali in framework or the systemui to be my receiver.It works anyway but i know maybe those 2 different locksreen receiver can be in the same app/framework orsomething. And i saw in both framework-res apk and the app which i use for those lockscreens uses almost 70% the same public id's in public.xml in decompiled folders. I hope someone can help me a bit further.

i would recommend you to ask the person that did this mod... i know those lockscreen pictures from apps like magic, miui locker (something like lockscreen launchers)....
If you extract it, is there system, meta inf and so on? like in a flashable zip? then you could extract it with 7zip and compress it to a normal zip to flash...
i really dont know more abput this....
so ask a dev if its that important to you

No they dont have meta-inf file and manifest. Its a Chinese home launcher app which have 2 apps which reside in the launchers apk. (Because i cant find the apk in system/app or data/app or the mnt/sec and /obb etc). And the launcher have a lockscreen reciever (smali) built inside which works to intercept my default lockscreen mechanism. With the new one just like on picture xP. And i gues i cant retrieve owner of apk i just snatched it from a miu rom.
