Hello, ive made a theme in uot.kitchen for my milestone A853. Im using cm7 rc14 mod on my phone, GOT rom. What should i do in the UPLOADING layer??? Plz help.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Set all options like on this pic:
...then copy your favoured Theme Chooser apk from Milestone (you can find it in /system/app folder, eg. Androidian.apk) to your computer, click on "Select File" button and choose apk with theme for Theme Chooser. Go to the Summary section and submit your work to kitchen.
When it will be done, download update zip with your custom theme, unpack it and in /system/app folder you will find your apk for Theme Chooser (it should be named as eg. UOTAndroidian.apk). Copy it to your phone and install like normal app. Open Theme Chooser, choose your newly created theme and reboot phone. That's all.

Hello everyone....
1st part:
For users with 0.02 kabaldan's releases........
To all users who want to install my THEME:
I strongly recomment to use the latest version of OpenRecovery made by colaianni.andrea and Luca.dimaio1 HERE.
From now and on i will release my theme as two (2) XXXXXXXXX.zip files....
So there will be two(2) .zip files with modified apps:
1) The first .zip file will be the same name as kabaldan names his releases (f.e. update-cm-6.1.0-RC0-Milestone-signed-2010-10-02.zip).
2) The second .zip file will be the latest google apps modified by me (f.e gapps-hdpi-20100930-signed.zip).
So lets begin:
Download .zip files:
1) Kabaldan's latest release (Modified by me - see screenshots at the and of this post, except the notification bar color and the color of the fonts in notification bar, as you can choose your own color combinations from Settings - CyanogenMod settings - User Inteface).
2) Latest Googles Apps (Modified by me - see screenshots at the and of this post, except the notification bar color and the color of the fonts in notification bar, as you can choose your own color combinations from Settings - CyanogenMod settings - User Inteface).
Put these two(2) .zip files you downloaded to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates.
Then reboot into OpenRecovery made by colaianni.andrea and Luca.dimaio1 and follow the next 2 steps:
1) Wipe dalvik-cache and Wipe cache.
2) Apply the two(2) .zip files you downloaded from Update menu.
That's it.......
Reboot and enjoy !!!!!

For users before 0.02 kabaldan's releases........
I made a theme for our Milestone (ONLY FOR CyanogenMod 0.01c for Milestone made by kabaldan HERE)
To install my theme you will need OpenRecovery v1.2 by Azhad that you can download from HERE...
First Do A Nandroid Backup Just In Case...
So you can download my theme from HERE...
Mirror in multiupload.com HERE...
In .zip file you will find 3 folders (apps, CMTheme and framework).
Take all the .apk from my apps folder and put them in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/apps
Take framework-res.apk file from my framework folder and put it in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/framework
Take the forder CMTheme and put it as it is in root of your sdcard
Then reboot your Milestone in Recovery mode and from Azhad's OpenRecovery go to Theme menu - Install Theme to install my Theme...
Then restart your phone.When your phone reboots, go settings - CyanogenMod settings - User interface - Tweaks extras - Select a theme and select kalagas.
Then restart again your phone.... and here you are with my theme....
I have to say that i' ve changed almost every icon in a lot of .apks (which can you see in screenshots) and almost every icon in framework-res.apk. So you understand that it took me a lot lot time to finish my work....
For full screenshots please go HERE...
To see a small sample here is some screenshots:
I don't have any kind of responsibility if something happens to your Phone...
If you like my work, feel free to buy me a beer...

Rapidshare?
Please use multiupload.com
And for the zip file, if you make a zip with all the files in the right folder, there is no need for the user to copy the files manually, but just unzip in the root of the sdcard.
[Start zip]
/CMTheme
/OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/framework
/OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/apps

It's not so difficult for anyone, I think, to copy the files manually...
As for multiupload.com when I am at home I will add a mirror...
Edit: Done. Now you have an multiupload link to download my theme....
yea, you're right, the problem solved, and its good work!
I'm glad that it was so easy to solve your issue.... Tell me your impressions about my theme....
after i apply this theme, when i put my milestone on the dock, it will mount the sd card to computer automatically, any way not to mount everytime?
I think you must change the mount to "charge only", wait to prepare the sdcard and then remove your phone from dock...
Then every time you put your phone to dock, i think it will be in "charge only" mode....
Dumb question I know.. but I'll take it this can be put on the Droid 2 since its in the Droid 2 section right?
No it's "Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes" section....
Both Droid and Milestone....
My badddd. Im def in the wrong section!
nice, problem solved,
overall its a very good theme
@kalagas
Sorry mate, I should have told you before: when we included eclair in the recovery I changed the folders for the themes, now they are in:
/sdcard/OpenRecovy/theme/eclair/
/sdcard/OpenRecovy/theme/froyo/
You should use the froyo folder, inside you will find the usual app, framework, bootanimation and font folders

As you can see in first post I changed the way my theme is installing. I made 2 separate .zip files, one for Rom and one for Google apps. And both .zip files go in OpenRecovery/updates folder and apply them from your OpenRecovery Update menu....
I think it's easier this way, don't you think?

hi there
i hove one noob question here
Is there any way to replacing / installing live wallpaers ?
I'm trying just installing .apk, but it failed
I'm trying manual replacing live wall in my system via Root eksploler, failed again,,,
so i'm courious about this case, is there any other ways ?
if the other way is via Recovery, how can i make xxx.zip from my xxx.apk ?
thx & sory for my noob Q
You sound confused to me...
There is an apk in system/app folder called live wallpaper picker. this does what it says on the tin. When you're on your homescreen and press menu there is an option to choose live wallpaper. This opens the aforementioned apk. If you have installed other live wallpapers they will show here and you can select them.
Hope that clears things up!
Swyped from my HTC Desire oxygen 2.0.3. using XDA App
Theres an apk within my theme called livewallpaper.apk
And that replaces the nexus one with cyanogen livewallpaper
With much more options. If you delete all the other apks from
One of my zips and the framework folder you can flash it in recovery.
You can just add your livewallpaper to the zip also in system/app.
Hi, i'm tried to create a theme for my LG Optimus one (P500) with the UOT Kitchen,but when trying to apply the theme with the theme manager (i've mik's port of CM7 v6.5.2 installed on my phone) says that the theme is bad compiled.
I select mods for battery, icons (status & notif. power), glowing (only overscroll), and window animation. in the "file upload" section i select amend scripting (because i don't have an HTC desire and with the edify scripting the zip file can't be flashed on the recovery), with the patch9 autofix & theme chooser preview enabled. In the file upload section i select "CM7 theme", and as base theme i use Androidian.apk (downloaded from xda-dev thread).
Next, i tried to flash the zip file from the recovery (amonra) and the flash do sucessfull, but when i go to apply the theme through the theme chooser, it says "theme bad compiled". i tried install the apk directly to the phone and the result is the same: "theme bad compiled" . Some tips or solution?
PS: I tried different combinations, like only battery icons modded, only status bar colors modded, and get the same result
Thanks in advance

disable Theme preview in File Upload section if you having problems applying theme.
Theme must be installed as normal apk. Without preview look very carefully in theme chooser list to find installed theme (it will be between other themes).

Now works, thanks
This message is for mendozinas. i do thank you for having a kitchen like this to customize pretty much anything for my phone (p500) Optimus one. I was informed that the kitchen will not support ics based so i flashed over Slimgen 1.6.0 (android 2.3.7) i just made some themes for the rom, havent tried them yet. I did upload the Framework.res and SystemUI.apk of the rom so hopefully it will work this time. I was wondering If you can add my rom (well the rom im using) on the kitchen list. SlimGen 1.6.0 here is the link to download the rom itself. im sure you already know.
http://code.google.com/p/slimgen-pro...downloads/list
Please reply back if you recieved my message. thanks agian. i do appreciate it. I sent you a PM figuring it will get to you quicker but i realized you must have many Pm's about certain questions. So maybe this will do the trick.
I tried to trouble shoot myself, still in early dev mode for me (learning the ropes) but i made a copy of the rom i have and plugged in what was from the UOT file that was giving to me from the kitchen. I made a flashable zip on my desktop and place it on the root of my sdcard. Booted into recovery...flashed it but still i get the same message. Am i using a correct rom for this or what?
Im attaching the UOT file i made so if u may need to look at it its there. any info you want from me just ask, im very greatful for the help, would really like to make different themes on my phone for start then move to rom modding .
I would really like a step by step if possible so i may get this theme up and flashedon my phone so i may make different ones for future needs.
Thanks again and hopefully i will be hearing from you.
my animations are not workin
i selected d fold animations but they r nt workin..? everythin else is fine jus d animations.. ?
This is a very simple way to replace the default wallpapers in your custom ROM with Asus's tree wallpapers for ICS. It's pretty much useless but I really like the tree wallpapers and I hate using the gallery to set up my wallpaper because of cropping/resizing issues.
What you need: WinRar
1. Pull your ROM's default launcher apk from /system/app - it should be something like launcher.apk, launcher2.apk. It's trebuchet.apk for CM9 by ricardo.
2. Copy the apk to your computer. Open it with WinRar. Navigate to \res\drawable-sw600dp-nodpi
3. You should see a bunch of wallpapers in there. If no wallpapers, you got the wrong .apk
4. Rename each Asus tree wallpapers(download them herehttp://www.mediafire.com/?d4py6a42cpz6ees) to exactly match the ones in the apk.
5. Drag and drop the renamed Asus wallpapers into the apk, replacing the original ones.
6. Copy the modified apk to /system/app, replacing the original.
7. Reboot
8. Now the Asus tree wallpapers will show up in the default wallpaper list.
Should this still work?
Sorry for digging up such an old thread...
Tried the below steps to modify the launcher2.apk in the TeamEOS JB 4.2 ROM. I'm getting an error when I try to perform step 6. It throws some error about not being a writable file system. But I checked the properties on /system/app and it says it's writable.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong??

Sometimes someone makes a theme you love, but you wish just one thing was different, or maybe, like me, you have a modded system with dark background, and you apply a theme with dark text on settings dashboard, etc, and you can't read the words. This is what I do about it, (screenshots - Dark Sense theme by @shehabskull). Maybe someone else will appreciate...
** Note - you may not use this method to modify someone else's theme, then re-post it as your own. Always give credit and get proper permission before using a developer's work.
I posted a similar thread a year and a half ago, but seems like Sony theme creator has changed since then, (can't say for sure since I've never used it, but the files and folders in recent themes seem different than they were back then).
This assumes you know something about apktool. If not, that's a different thread. I recommend using ApktoolX for decompile / recompile, and Mixplorer for editing.
1. Install ApktoolX - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298927619 - and set it up, (check 'root' in settings, make apktool folder, copy framework files and import each one). Also copy whatever theme you want to mod to apktool folder.
2. Decompile theme apk. You will get a folder with a few files and folders in it. One of them is called 'assets', which contains a bunch of zip files. The zips are all apks with zip extension.
3. Make a temp folder somewhere and copy whatever zips in the assets folder you want to mod, (settings, systemui, etc). Change the file extension from zip to apk. Then go back to ApktoolX and decompile those. Now you can mod the values.
4. After making mods, use ApktoolX to recompile. When recompile is done, change the filename back to what it was originally, (whatever.zip). Then copy that zip into the original location in the decompiled theme apk, deleting the one that's already there.
5. Now go back to ApktoolX and recompile the theme. When it's done, you will get a filed called (whatever)_src.apk. Use ApktoolX to sign it, (click on the file and choose 'sign' from the menu). The new file can be installed normally.
Note - occasionally you can change something that will recompile and install just fine, but will cause systemui to crash or something. If so, just boot to recovery, and delete the theme from /data/app.
Also - some themes might have a certain asset you like that another theme doesn't have. You can add them, but you have to modify android manifest xml accordingly, (look at it and you'll see). They're not always cross-compatible, though.
Nice guide.. Keep it up ?
