All it takes is a lot of reading and some experience.
I wouldn't try to make anything from scratch for your first time. Go off of someone else and tweak it to make it your own. BUT give the person credit!!!
I would actually recommend asking permission first. Its just more respectful.
Would there be anyone willing to do a different kind of guide for those wanting to learn to theme or even rom.
If someone would .... as there creating a theme, document the whole process, and as someone trying to learn, could download the files needed and instead of just downloading an already completed theme, they could build the same theme themselves while following the directions. I think that could be a great way for someone to learn this craft. I imagine once you have built one, things start to make more sense.
I have read a few of the themeing guides, and they are great, lots of great info, but a lot of times they dont explain the how/why things are done. Like when can you just edit the .png files to gain a certain look, vs. when you have to go and edit xml files, or which files need to be edited to create a lot of the looks we are looking for.
For me, i learn best by doing. I would love to d/l the same base rom one of you devs. would and follow some instructions and just follow along and perform all of the modifications you might make to create a theme from start to finish. Then a lot of other things might make more sense.
Just a thought if anyone has the time or would be interested, I am sure many people would like to learn this talent.
Thanks.

Reddit is holding a android programming tutorial/class, go check it out
Looking at that now, looks very cool. Seems to be focused more on android programming though, will be looking for some theme/rom tutorials, or maybe ask for one.
Thanks for the link!

This is a reminder of the theme kitchen for you guys who want battery mods,custom notification bar, sliders,fonts....
the site is here:
http://uot.dakra.lt/
all u have know what to do is pull your framework and systemUI apks' from your phone and upload it.
from a terminal:
1)connect your phone (usb debugging on)
2)adb remount
3)adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /''directory where you want it''
4)adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk /''directory where you want it''

Dude I am not interested in starting an immature rant with you. But since you started it , let me tell you something.
The reason i started this thread was to inform people what they could do or not and uncover wise people like you ; unlike you, opening 2 threads with a powerwidget one and a battery mod, both of which you did in the UOT and calling it your mod and for roms you didnt even use (how pathetic is that). Probably if i didnt comment on your thread at that time, by now, you would have had tens of threads with all different combinations of mods from the UOT ( of course for every rom you would find here) and that is probably why you are taking this rant here. lolz.
So please spare me of your useless comments cause you do know what you have done!
I want to give you a heads up ! I think that there are many people that do not know the existence of uot and how easy it is to change a lot of things, like batteryicon, statusbar etc . So i think it was a good idea to point people to uot .. People tend to look no further then the section of their own device.

WTF
Hey... remember u started spamming on my thread not me.
And sooo whaattt.... if I made hundress of thread like that? Did I cost u something? Did I ask for your help? The answer is nooo.... and so u can mind ur own business.
And I believe there are mods who can lock useless thread without calling me a noob.
U think I'm an idiot will make hundreds of threads for something that I don't use.
I am pretty busy fot waisting my time to do batremod for every single rom.
Im Not like u that made 1 themes and make yourself on top of everybody else.
Gosh... there are plenty ns users still have problem of installing SDK so that they can root their ns, not to mention they still have to spent hours or maybe days to root their device. And also spent more couple days to able use adb commands. I just tryin to make it simple. But I never call them a noob.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129398
And u can read that thread that people fighting, just because of simply pointing them to uot.
And go here and u can call him a noob becoz posting UOT themes, on DeLL Streaks themes section.
And u can stop calling me a noob and cheater, i am 31 years old man with a bunch of expertise, On Blackberry , iphone mod , and also symbian MOD.
Can u Jailbreak an iphone 4? Can u unlock iphone 4 with baseband 1.59 with IOS 4.1 or 4.2.1 or 4.3.1 ?
Can u delete an OS on blackberry? can u fix a boot loop on blackberry? can u fix nooked blackberry?
Can u make screen animation on symbian? can u Hacked a symbian?
And u already make yourselve the greatest on top of everybody else just because your "Green elegance Theme for oxygen", and under estimate me as a noob and cheater. There are skies above the Sky.
Not even Netarchy or odgobers or morfic or supercurio and others ROM developers will act like you.
But i never under estimate people, and never show off what i've. And also never spamming on anybody threads and post negative comments ( if i dont like with what their have posted)

Clearly you must have meditated a lot before writing this post. Anyway, just point out where did i ever call you noob and i will apologize immediately.
i never called you noob and never doubted you; my only response was why did u open 2 threads for UOT mods and claim something which wasnt yours. that was the only thing i said!
You might be a know-it-all in symbian,apple or whatsoever but things here should be this way imho: when you take something somebody else has worked and developed, you cannot simply call it my mod and even if you do so, you should always give credit to the author!! (which you didnt and that was the whole point).
Clearly my post has affected you deeply and you have been doing your homework very well going through my previous posts and threads and insulting on a personal basis. Unlike you, i wont go that far.Strict on topic, i have said what i thought. Some will disagree with me some wont. Final words.
Can we please just squash the fighting. We have had a pretty good forum, let's keep it that way. This really does not do any good for any of us or our section of the forums. That's just my opinion, but please give it some thought. Thanks.

Credit goes to the guys who did it. the reason for me opening this thread is just for the newbies and those who do not know of it; cause i have been requested lately for battery mods/transparent pulldowns... and i guess some of u didnt know.

Your statement there for the newbies , undirectly call me noob(newbies). People who use UOT are newbies right?
deeren said:
to be honest ,this is just cheating the entire community and the actual mods from UOT. Instead of just selecting icons from the UOT and calling it your mod for a rom you dont even use; if ever you wanted to help the ppl here, you should have posted the link directly to the kitchen available online where everybody could create their owns.
You already did it once with the power widgets, now with the battery icons. why dont you create 20 types of styles for all the different roms here and creating 20 threads here. LOL

And that statement point me like an idiot by asking me making 20 thread for 20 differ styles.
That was useless sentences just for under estimates people and insults people.
You can advice me or make suggestion if i did wrong by making useless threads, not by directly insults me. i wouldn't be so mad if u did that at the begining. Show some respects to others would 1.000.000 times better than underestimates people.
Maybe you should relax a bit and take a deep breath .. You are taking this way to personal and judging by your posts English isn't your native language (it also isn't my native language), that can easily lead to misunderstandings .. As far as I can read it, he isn't calling you a newbie ( which is not extacly the same as a noob anyway) and he is not calling anybody using uot a newbie .. Newbie in this case is referring to what it means literally , people who are new to the scene and may not know the existence of uot ..no more no less ..
so breath in, breath out , breath in breath out ...

The comment with the 20 threads.... was a little sarcastic(i agree) but it was meant as a joke but in no way an insult. If you look at it, i clearly put a 'LOL' in the sentense at the end. I didnt mean to insult you. No hard feelings held, please let's move on.
Updated 1st post to turn it into a more concrete thread.
Hi friend i want you to tell me how to add custom font in android app development in eclipse , i want to use my font but i dont know to code it in java, i used method of get assest after i put the custom font in font folder in assest folder but when open app it hang and force closr*
Hi friend, I kindly would like to ask you to fulfill your majestic demand.
so, to find a help, you should start to learn how to use the word: "please", as the beginning of your requests, your majesty.
Secondly, if your magnificence will learn that, it may be a good idea to learn how to use search function in this forum. After years of learning, you should be able to find That. More years spent on the learning how to read with understanding, your majesty, and hopefully you will deiscover that the mentioned thread leads to Secret Place, where no java coding knowledge is required to make your own fonts for android device.
I hope, that my servant's advice would please Your Majesty, if not, please disregard this what was wrote by
Unworthy Servant of Your (pathetic) Majesty

Hello!
May its sounds strange, but any idea where to start learn these things? I reading XDA, which is great, but there is any documentation or other website, which can help in this case?
Worked already with linux, yesterday compiled my first kernel. But interested in adding new mods and other sweets to my kernel.
Please dont say those noobies answers "If you dont know these, you shouldn't probably go into it.."
Everybody started somewhere, i just need to learn, thats all. But cant find noone, who can give me the basics.
Thanks for suggestions, etc.
Sincerely, Marcell

im not sure of the guides that helped me at the moment, but i personally googled it and found stuff. then i looked at other devs githubs, and started my own, then started cherry-picking and attempted numerous times to build the kernel. but id just google for guides on how to build android kernel for whatever phone you have (I'm going to guess it's the nexus 6). that should be a good starting point for you. sorry i couldn't exactly help more.

Well, you can start with the basics, or jump right into it compiling from scratch. Though many of those tools are designed to help compile and build. You should be reading about each one. But what I'm trying to get across, is that there are multiple guides and tutorials for doing this, many of which are in the Chef Central Android section. Did you read through anything in the section I linked?
Or you can search XDA on "kernel building". Or search google on "kernel building" and add on "XDA" in your search for more XDA results.
Otherwise, I'm not sure the point of this thread? No one is going to walk you through it from beginning to end here in this thread, when there are multiple, and very long guides already out there that took people hours to create.
If you are going to get into this, you'll be researching and reading for many hours before you start a thing. And you'll need patience and have to be ready to do lots and lots of homework. :good:
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
I already built kernel some days ago, even yesterday. I would interested about customization, adding more features, but still there is nothing about it. Because what you linked is for building ROMs and NOT kernels. You know they are totally different. Even tried to search in Google, only found about adding grovenors, but nothing else.

Sir, there are kernel guides in Chef Central. (and some are withing the complete rom guides. Or at least have links to kernel resources) But, if they don't suit your needs, again, I would search XDA on "kernel building". There are many guides throughout the site that I find when I do that.
Pick one that you like and that is active with questions and answers in them, and perhaps try asking in one of those. That's where you'll find the experts.
:good:
Edit: Hopefully this link will work, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=Kernel building
That will lead you to lots of information.
