I want to start developing roms for my Droid 3, P.S have had experience with rooting, rom, and the rest. But though I have tested a lot, never actually had an experience building them. I was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction. I saw that for HTC devices they have something special, think it was called Android Kitchen or something. Anything like this for Motorola devices? Specifically the Droid 3?
Uot kitchen? I've tried to use it to make some changes but it always fails to install the zip so I gave up w/ it.

Have you tried replacing the update-binary in the uot zip with the one from your stock rom
Sent from my rooted xt860
Anyone else? Has anyone tried replacing the update-binary with the stock rom one, as Endoroid said? Any help is appreciated!
Replacing the updater-script file should work but uot kitchen can only mod framework-res.apk and systemui.apk i would look at a tool that can decompile and recompile like Apk_Manager_5.0.2
Thanks, i look into that later today, but does it work with Droid 3?

I am trying for the first time to use uot kitchen to change the battery indicator to the blue to red reversed battery and keep the pulldown toggles for version
unl3ash3d 1.7 . I keep getting error when I flash zip, emmc status 0, not sure what im doing wrong. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance
proper script
You need to open the zip and replace the update binary with a bionic specific one for it to work....Can't find it right now to upload bUT google it and if I find it I will post it.
Just replace that file and exit the zip, or do you have to resign it our something?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
found it
ok first make sure you used your framework and system ui.apk from 1.7 so that only the battery is changed....next open up your UOT zip....look in the META-INF file, next open the com folder, then google folder, and lastly the android folder...each folder is inside the other.
inside the android folder there will be two binary and one is the update binary...thats the one you need a bionic specific one to make everything work...
take the zip I uploaded and rename it so the .zip is gone...replace the one in your android folder with the one you rename and save should work now...let me know if you have questions
Got it going. Right before you put the zip up. Thank you for you're input. That was a first for me.

One more question how can i keep the red to blue battery and get the stock 3g/4g icons and wifi indicator? Can that all be done in the uot kitchen?
Yes..play with the kitchen you can do a lot but have a nandroid ready!
I am looking for the darky keyboard but cant seem to find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

I know where it is but I'm not telling its a secret only a handful know , I might get in trouble for just acknowledging it exists. But if one were to look into the UNL3ASH3D ROM said person might stumble across it in hiding.
How difficult would it be to extract it from the zip of the Unl3ash3d ROM? Not even sure what it's called. I love this keyboard, but not ready to flash this ROM.
Unzip it and look in the data folder extract latinim3vo or something close to that, I can't remember the exact name and it should install.
Or you can try this though I haven't tested it yet (removed for space)

Just wondering if there are any guides out there to show you how to create your own custom themes. I know there is the UOT kitchen but it only customizes some things. So far I haven't been able to find anything.

Check this link out for all the basics.
https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1
Thanks!! There's a little more to it than I anticipated but I'll figure it out. One question though, the guide says to use theme .zip files from a custom ROM. Could you use the files from the stock FXZ? I quite like the stock system (minus some bloat). Unless there are major benefits to using a custom ROM? I'm currently running Liberty3 but I haven't seen much difference so far besides a few AOSP apps and the aesthetic changes.
I pretty much taught myself. I only do basic PNG editing though.
Extract SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk and edit the PNGs in /res/drawable-hdpi
Then either pack the APKs into a flashable zip or push them straight to the device through ADB.
If I'm only editing png's I just use winrar or 7zip to drag and drop them into the Rom zip, or theme zip that I'm using.
Thanks this has been very helpful so far. Now I'm just curious if there are any major benefits to running a custom ROM over the stock one?

For bionic. I just use stock. Nothing is wrong with it speed-wise. I like the little add-ons like extended power menu and such. But I was able to find mods or edit my own stuff to make stock exactly how I want it. For details on what a ROM has over stock, just check out the OP for that ROM. I tried Liberty and Th3ory and they're awesome, I just went back to stock for personal preference reasons.
If you realllly want a ROM...
Liberty has been the best by far for other devices I've owned. Its officially released for the bionic but its still in development a little bit.
Th3ory's ROM for the bionic is a moster as well, he's a beast.
Here is a good guide
Here is another good one by xkape
Thanks Tivo. I was quite satisfied with the stock ROM for the whole 6 hours I used it before flashing Liberty. Don't get me wrong liberty is very well done but I would like to customize everything to my exact liking.

Anytime bro.
Hi Gurus,
I have just flashed to [2.3.5]KK4 Saurom using full wipe. Its working fine. I wanted to howdo I get more themes for it. on OP there is only 1 additional theme ICS which I dont want. Any help would be appreciated
why not just goto UOT Kitchen and create your own?
It doesn't work on Saurom. I'm trying to figure this issue out myself.
They are working on more themes

I'm running Saurom KK4 and use the kitchen all the time.
Works fine for me.
You may need to pull the modified files out of the UOT.zip file and manually place them in the correct locations on your phone.
For me the modded files don't always get updated when flashing the UOT.zip file from recovery.
That's probably the problem then, thanks for the input!

i noticed when i flash a UOT from kitchen my status bar removes itself completely.... would installing manually fix that, you think?
This is mod for ODEXED ICS based ROMs. When using the Dsxida's kitchen, there was a slight problem. so I made some modifications to AutoDEOTool
Manually Deodexing :
to decompil an odex file you needs the BOOTCLASSPATH..
It is a list in specific order of some framework .jar files..
It is different in function of the APKs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
1.Place the JARs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_framework".
Otherwise, place deodexed framework JARs into the directory "deodexed_JAR".
2.Place the APKs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_app".
3. To deodex framework files
-For non standard odex however a specific bootclass path must be defined..
-select to 6
place the bootclass path for framework
Code:
core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:widget.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:filterfw.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:wimax.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar
4.To deodex APKs files for at&t vivid
-select to 4
place the bootclass path for APKs files
Code:
am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:apache-xml.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:bu.jar:com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.cequint.platform.jar:com.discretix.drm.api.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.google.android.media.effects.jar:com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:com.htc.htcSceneManager.jar:com.htc.lockscreen.fusion.jar:com.htc.sunny2.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.qik.enabler.jar:com.scalado.caps.jar:com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:filterfw.jar:framework.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:javax.obex.jar:modemwarmup.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:services.jar:svc.jar:widget.jar:wimax.jar
4.To deodex APKs files for velocity
-select to 4
place the bootclass path for APKs files

This manual was written in order to develop more easy deodexed rom..
if you want to getting the pure deodexed ROM, You need to have a separate build process..
So i would need to re build my entire rom?

Maybe It will be.. This manual is written for people who want to build custom Rom..
I tried pushing the files back to the phone and it caused alot of problems so im guessing that i would have to learn how to build roms then. lol
I wish someone would just deodex the stock ics. I know wildchild has a deo version but its also stripped of a lot of the stock goodies the Rom comes with

I'm working on getting a stock, rooted de-odexed ROM up tonight if I can.
EDIT: Uploading now. I'll be starting a new thread. Also, I don't want to take anything away from bananacakes here. His tutorial is very good and if you plan on building anything ROM-related, you should get familiar with the process.
