[Q] Edit control bar colours

How can I edit the control bar ?
Any help would be appreciated.
I can provide you whatever you need from the ROM.
Thanks !

Anyone ? .

I have no idea about you r phone...but they are 9.png´s and probably in framework-res.apk.

I've searched everything in framework-res.apk but I cannot find them anywhere.

what´s your Rom?

Void ROM. Do you want me to upload something ?

yeah, framework-res.apk

Here you go.
Thank you !

u use a theme?..cause the battery icon is different..

Yes, I have modified it using the online theme kitchen.
Only the notification bar is modified.

ok.
It´s all in frameworks... but as you use kitchen, I dont know how about applying a morph over it, never tried kitchen......I would use default "void" framework and apply a morph for all your changes.

I can extract the original framework-res.apk from the void ROM. Can you do something with it ?

do morphs work on your Rom?

Haven't tried any morph yet. Any way I could check ?
Here is the original framework.

yes, take a morph for your phone and try it..a framwork morph would be good.

Sorry to say but there are none morphs for my phone. It is pretty new in this area.

Where have you found them in the framework ? Can't I modify it and then repack + sign the framework ?

Test Morph_DarkX
ok...if this test morph works on your default framework-res.apk (not kitchen!)..you can start to theme
- put "DarkX.zip" in /sdcard/AndrodThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph (app from Market)

It gets stuck at Applying framework-res.apk.

- You got Void's default framework-res.apk ?

The Feb 14 Rom stops at NAND failure so I have not been able to check.
BTW these themes only work on CM7 Nightlies or also on regular CM7 Roms?

Any way of using these themes with a CM7 SD build?

Yes. Download zip file and extract the "system" folder from the zip to your /Storage Card/Android/root folder.
Start Android. It should work.

OK, sorry if this is a bit thick of me, but when I extract the zip there is also a METAInf folder - do I do anything with that? And also, what do I do with the dock in the extras folder? I can work wonders with CHT themes but find myself back in first grade as far as Android goes

You don't extract the zip. Just flash it through cwm

METAInf folder has only the signatures for CWM flashing. Just do as I told you and it should work fine.
The apk's can be installed manually and docks png's need to be applied through the ADW or LauncherPro Dock settings.

Thanks for the feedback and helping each other out guys .

Monochrome doesnt work

Hooray you ported it!
Thank you so much!

i tried to customize the sublime theme with alternate colours but i think somethin is missing in the zip or in the instrucitions;
I can't find the

Framework-res.apk won't compile

Hi everyone,
it's 3 days I'm trying to edit the framework-res.apk, but I can't make it work either with apkmanager (no errors shown) nor with apktool (here some exception errors). I've even tested the UOT Kitchen but when I flash the archive, it just doesn't run and get struck on the boot loop. Working on MoDaCo Fr16 beta3, any idea of what this could mean?
Thanks in advance,
Tiwiz

use a version 1.3.1 of APKtool instead of 1.3.2

I'll try and update the post if I succed or not

i´ve got the same problem with framework-res.apk from FR17 ...
no matter if i extract, decompile, compile, use UOT kitchten ... after flashing i get bootloop ...
but my themed framework-res.apk took out from fr14 works flawless in fr17 rom .... strange !!!
i don´t know what paul did with framework-res.apk when he updated Norwegian resources in framework-res.apk ...

The problem already started on FR16 because it happened to me since FR16.

Dunno how to ask him, already posted on MoDaCo forum as well... trying to tweet him.
Btw, tried even with new apktool 1.4.1 but nothing, still struck on boot loop.
I'll attach my framework-res, in case someone finds out how to deal with it.

i tried with apkmanager 1.4.7. , also no success !
UOT kitchen the same ...
i can´t find out what´s wrong ...
folder names have changed (from drawable-hdpi-v4 to drawable-hdpi) but this can´t be the problem or ?
As a workaround, you can use themed framework-res.apk from FR14, it works for me on FR17 ...

Could you post a working framework-res.apk? I'd try to use it on the kitchen and see if it works. Tweeted to Paul twice about this bug, but no answer yet.

Tell me what modifications you want to apply and i'll upload the one i compiled. Then someone needs to test if it works cuz i dont have an o2x (maybe i will in the future)...

I'd just need a basic (LG version) framework-res.apk that surely works, but I can't find it anywhere... in case, I can test yours, if you like

Fix builded framework-res.apk
Hi guys,
I got same problem. I fix it by these steps after compiling with apktool 1.3.1 is done.
1. Open original framework-res.apk file in 7zip.
2. Open compiled version of framework-res.apk from dist folder in 7zip.
3. Drag & Drop META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from original into compiled.
That's all. Now compiled version is fixed & signed. This extra step works for me.

Can't get it work... could you take a look to mine? I can't understand what's wrong with it :-S
I'll post both mine and the original apk from MoDaCo's Kitchen.
^^ Link ^^

take this one, it works with UOT Kitchern and you can apply without bootloop in FR18
orig.framework_MoDaCo_fr14

What worked for me is this:
Compile a theme using the upload of the framework-res.
Then when it is ready replace the update-binary, and insert the lge-res.apk in the same map as framework-res. Do this with a program like winrar.
It was a pain in the butt getting there for a newbie like me.
files you need are in this rar:

Compiling framework-res.apk using your method still gives me bootloops. So it doesn't really work.

[MOD] Need tester theme for IceCreamTosti v0.5 [AOKP_M3/4.0.3]

hey guys..
Lately everything's been slowing me down, my beloved HD2 still under repair (it's already been 5 days)
My PC is low end piece of crap, can't even run emulator properly.
Just now finnished on modding SystemUI.apk , and I need tester and feedback.
Recommended only for experienced fellow developers.
Its a apk,still not a flashable-zip(Still haven't learn to do this)
manually move to sysstem/app/
don't forget back-up original SystemUI

Nice job man, looks great. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you with this

Need tester for systemUI..
anyone??

DoctorGore said:
Hey dude. I replaced your SystemUI over mine in V0.4 of the ROM, and rebooted, yet nothing changed. I also tried installing the .apk from inside /system/app but it wouldn't yet me. What am I doing wrong?
I'm about to install V0.5 of the ROM now anyways, but it'd be cool to see an updated version with more colour options.
Click to expand...

Did u change the apk permission to rw-r-r??
If still nothing happen, let me know..

DoctorGore said:
Doesn't it come with the correct permissions it needs?
I just replaced it again, this time it 'worked', but now I have no status bar or nav bar. Tried giving it all the permissions, same thing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not really sure about that, I guess there is some problem with the mod I've made
and it does not come with set permissions as I only decompiled & recompiled the file and modded it.
Anyway thanks for the feedback.
Currently having hard time on testing out the theme without my HD2, for now will stop uploading files and just making mod with the updated ROM.
will be back after finished modding & testing with it.
my latest work for the theme are attached, but i don't know if it's working or not, I'm still new in almost everything here.
hope this time everythings went well.

update2.zip

You did everything wrong!
1) with install (you must use updater-script and update-binary in META-INF\com\google\android\)
2) With apk (Where is AndroidManifest.xml?)
3) Cant unpack apk (i need for my rom)
If you give me pictures (and changes in the code) i will help you! Wait for you response here, PM, [email protected]
p.s. You will remake Settings.apk for red icons? You draw the icons yourself? If not then tell where you take them, please

Hope you dont mind, I put your theme in a zip you can run from CWM forgot to sign them.. So sig verify off to flash. If you cant figure out what i did, or where to add more changes pm me. Dont be mad its all your work I take no credit, just put in a package I used. Both zips work with IceCreamTosti M3, v0.6, v0.7 and should work with any AOKP ICS build. If any of you try on another ICS build please confirm

Well I made another, your theme + red inside settings.apk. Again these should work on any ICS rom. They work with IceCreamToasti v0.6 for sure

At the first time I saw these thread [CLOSED] Red Sensation Final [AOKP B20/CM9 CDMA+GSM/Gummy 0.6.6]
when googling on theme. then try porting it with IceCreamTosti which you can see on the first post screenshot.
Then just thought about creating my own mod and took some nice looking icon in Sensation's and still using it with just lil mod.

[Q] Making A Rom

I am making a rom using the ofiicial sammy JB as base rom....but the problem is i cant find a boot.img file...if any one could help me with that it would be good!

You don't need a boot.img ... If you make a ROM with no boot.img, the kernel isn't overridden, and the person who flashes it stays with his previous kernel.

thank you

If you use dxisda's kitchen, add null boot.img, and the kitchen will remove it when repackaging

ok i got few questions!!
1. do i need to upload systemui.apk for UOT kitchen?

3. How to remove the touchwiz launcher and replace it with apex launcher.
4. Is there an easy noobish guide to use aroma installer....??

Just a heads up, when you re-pack a ROM with kitchen... If you get an error saying "header mismatch" while zipaligning, then know that your ROM will not boot.

no error
