Hi all
I am searching for the website where I could create a battery mod by myself, by submitting my own files.
Thanks
Nico
UOT Kitchen will allow you to pick from their files to make a flashable mod. If you want to design your own icons for everything, just pull the necessary apks and decompile them yourself.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has made a stock theme template for the Shift? All I see are ROMs but I like to mess around with a clean stock deodexed system for a while before I flash a full ROM. I would make one myself but I'm still learning how the update-script/updater-script works. Is there one, or does everyone just flash ROMs around here? Closest I've found is the theme eraser, but that assumes you're already deodexed (no .odex removal script). Any help would be appreciated, links to guides, tutorials, how CWM works, a stock theme template, anything. And thanks in advance.

there ya go
Thank you, but this is a full ROM not a theme template.

Are you looking for the stock framework then?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Basically just the /system/app and /system/framework dirs deodexed. no other changes to the system folder. And a script that removes the odex files. Can that be run with just an update-script, or would it need other things?

Just unzip the zip file from the thread foxsdaddy67 linked & you have access to those two deodexed directories.
I guess I'm not being clear enough. I'm aware those files are there, what I don't understand is how cwm works. I'm coming from sdx where every rom, theme and mod had the same structure with only an update script in meta-inf. By testing I did find out that just having an update script works though I'm not sure if a script will run. Guess I'll have to test it.
Bottom line is that there is no flashable theme template zip, only roms, but I think I'll be fixing that shortly.

Hi.
When replacing framework-res .apk with another one,
does the framework has to be compiled from the same
rom or can i use a framework-res .apk from another rom?
Also what do i have to edit to be able to change the
settings?
Like adding colour or making it look like iphone or ICS.
Thanks

The Framework-res.apk has to be compiled from your actually ROM, cause this have the entire UI System and features from the ROM.
If you want to costumize the color, forms and styles, you have to descompile "SystmeUI.apk" with the framework-res.apk from the same ROM. I Guess.
This thread picks up where "[MOD] [SYSTEMUI] Enable Wifi Toggle / Reconfigure and theme toggles [ICS Blue!]" leaves off. See post #174
Alright guys so here's the deal. The *proper* way to remove the location icon, battery full notification, and/or clock is through a smali edit. Smali files are contained in dex files and jar files. Our stock rom is an odexed rom meaning that the dex file is specifically optimized for our device; its also signed. So in order to change anything, the steps are:
1) Pull core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, services.jar, services.odex
2) Disassemble the services.odex file
3) Decompile smali files and compare decompiled source to smali code to find correct values
4) Make edits to smali
5) Recompile smali files
6) Repackage odex file
7) Pull signatures from original odex file
8) Use them to resign new odex file
9) Push back to phones
10) Repeat for each version of the statusbar mod
As you can see this takes a very long time and is rather tedious. Work is pretty significantly reduced by using a deodexed rom.
I would like feedback from people regarding whether beans-only support is suitable or if this project should be elevated to a full rom. I have a feeling that even if I do just these couple of edits there will be more that require deodexing the services.
More detailed POLL options
1) Continue work with Beans support only (immediate)
2) Elevate project to full ROM status and introduce a new rom to the scene (requires time and preferably a team)
3) Just do the battery full mod and the location mod and forget any other status bar icon mods. (including removing battery/clock)
4) Leave the statusbar icons alone until a source-built rom is made available
5) (forgot to include) "Hack" solutions such as removing the png files

Edit: Definitely just support deodexed roms. Way too much work for odex and if people are into modding their phone they should be deodexed anyway Imo.

I say just provide support for Deodexed roms (not specifically only Beans Rom though). No reason to put you through all that time and effort of working on a stock Odexed rom.
Thank you again for your work. It is certainly appreciated by us all!

according to guys in ICS thread, it can be done by uploading the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from ROM files...?
I managed to flash theme but only font was changed (no battery changed):crying:
With all the data2sd, aps2sd etc implementation on Desire for ICS, are you sure that flashing those apk files on /system/framework or /system/app is the right path for it? You may need to manually put it in there.
It is confirmed for now that UOT doesn't work with ics. I wasted half an hour trying that on an Galaxy Ace typical no a2sd rom.

Yh its like that with INT2SD, in UOT you have to change the path to "sd-ext/apps_s" and "sd-ext/framework_s"

I am trying to learn how the theme a ROM. Example GoldenEye37 ROM (for my personal theme), the only thing I edit was some PNG's (not 9.png)using gimp but every time I try to flash the themed ROM i get this "com.android.keyguard has stopped " or just stuck on Samsung boot. Sorry been at this for 3 days now and normally I am good on searching for the answers. Couldn't find one that worked so far.
Any ideas why?
This is the guide ive been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719
Thank You
Edit: So found out my problem in another forum. I was signing the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk . Signing them was causing the problem.
Now I need to find out when I need to sign the apk and not to, also what zipalign does.
Sorry for making a useless thread. I got impatiant after the 3rd day

You could also grab a flashable vr theme zip, put all you .png files into their correct places in the flashable zip and zip it up and flash. No need for decompiling/recompiling/signing/zip aligning at all. The VR Theme flashable zip will integrate your .png files into each respective .apk file and do everything for you. You can grab my Red BadAss Flashable Theme and use it as a template. It is made for use on 4.2.2-4.3 roms or 4.4.2 roms. It has checks in it that will see which you have and flash the correct version.
It really is a easier way of making a theme. It will allow you to put .png, .9.png, .xml, or any other file type used inside the .apk and will change it for you.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Love your work! I downloaded your Red Badass theme to use as a template.
I want to theme different custom roms.
1.Do I just delete the framework, systemUI...etc..files you made in there and replace it with my theme?
2. Do I need to do anything to META-INF folder for different Roms 4.4.2 I want to theme?
3. What do you mean by zip it up and flash? Do I need a tool for this?
My apologies if my questions are common sense. I'm just starting to learn on my free time. I'm really good at building circuits/electronics though [emoji2]

1) I would suggest that you delete out all of the .PNG files inside of each folder, then add your .PNG files into the correct folders where they came from.
2) The Meta file should not need to be replaced and should work on any touchwiz 4.4.2 based ROM. When you unzip my theme you will see different folder right away. You will see "system" and "system4.3" inside. The one labeled "system" will work on 4.4.2 based Roms, the one labeled "system4.3" will work on 4.2 and 4.3 based Roms. Likewise for the other folders like "vrtheme" =4.4.2 and "vrtheme4.3" =4.2.2 and 4.3 based Roms.
3) Once you have put all your .PNG files into their respective folders, then you can use Root Explorer (on the phone) to ZIP the theme back up. Or you could use a PC based software to zip the theme back up (if your working on a PC to change out the .PNG files). Once it is zipped up you can put it on your phone and use your custom recovery/safestrap recovery to flash the created zip file.
Any further questions feel free to ask, I can help as needed.

I checked out the link a bit. It is made for CM11. You could grab all the PNG files and copy them into the vrtheme flashable zip. BUT you will need to RENAME ALL/MOST of the .pngs for use on a Touchwiz based rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467075
It is a lot of work, but can be done. I did it with one of my themes from an older phone where I had a Touchwiz Based Theme and a CM/AOKP Based ROM Themes.
There is no way just to flash it as Touchwiz does not use the theme engine.

Okay so forget about flashjng it on or applying it via theme engine. How about remove touchwiz all together and use this theme/up instead .
Lol I really don't want to do the whole renaming/editing to get this to work right.
