Hi there,
I have only one question. I'm using right now Rushabh25's SGSII ICS v9 rom, which has integrated 14-toggles-mod.
I've already tried to make some modifications in the zip package of modded stock roms (like SGSII v9, or StockLite v6 and v7.1), with success: I managed to implement UOT-mods, hungarian swype, beats music mods, and some apps into the flashable rom zip. I even managed to modify framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, by decompile them with apktool and the edit some files.
I'm wondering now about, how to implement 14-toggles-mod, like Rushabh25 did it... Can you help me how to do that? I want to learn!
I can't help you to do that, but, I think this thread will help you.

Hi!
I have been trying to extract the theme from this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869408
It looks awesome and I want to add some animations from a different ROM and use it with Darkys or Assonance for example but this seems to be much harder than I though unless someone has a quick and easy for dummies procedure for poor me that is.
It should be as easy as extracting the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, mms.apk, bootanimation.zip and fonts as that is what is listed as being themed in the ROM thread. Then use the theme porter posted in the Android Themes section of XDA to inject them in your apk's, then manually change whatever didn't copy over.

mmm sounds simple when you say it lol I will need to dig deep here it seems but that is a good post to point me towards the right path
I usually just extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM I am taking the theme from and the ROM I want to put it in, then I copy the res/drawable-hdpi folder from the old apk into the new one. It is a quick/dirty method, and wont let you change font colors or add a circle battery mod to one without it, but I have never had problems with it before.
You also have to be sure it is compatible with the rom you are using. Some roms have different xml code behind and if you simply put the framework and tw framework in your rom you risk getting fc at boot and not getting past them.

Both are JPY Roms so I hope that is enough. I guess worst thing that could happen is having to flash again

Try first with /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I'm attaching a cwm zip file that has those files as found in Doc's 6.1 rom.
Just replace them with the files from whatever rom you want and keep that as a backup in case something goes wrong. It will save you from reflashing
If both are JPY roms then it shouldn't be an issue.
I tried doing what Ryukeima mentioned but I ended up with a Frankenstein of a theme as not all things from the them I wanted came over to the new one!
This is going to require some practice. That ROM has also some very nice Icons for Launcher Pro so is going to be another thing to look for..in fact I think I could be happy just getting those Icons.

Rip all the framework folder. Make a CWM zip and flash it over your ROM. It should work without problems. Then try to either apply animations on UOT kitchen or inject them with metamorph.

Sorry for my noobness...Just trying to learn this stuff
So if i rip out all framework folders from one rom and manually replace them in another rom (like i did for kernel..replacing zimage file)...will it work?
Also, can anyone tell me how to make a CWM zip...i know there is a post for that on XDA but i am not able to find it...

To answer the first question, it won't straight out work. You have to add the images to the file 'framework-res.apk' in the 'drawable-hdpi' folder located within it. Different framework-res.apk's will differ from ROM to ROM, and will just FC or bootloop your phone if you use one that it doesn't like. That's why most themes have the ROM they will work with posted in the title. If it is the same base ROM (in the case of my phone, running Assonance, any JK3 theme will work), then it is as simple as drag & drop. But if it's between say Axura and Assonance, it would have to be manually changed as stated above, since there may be subtle differences in the framework.
As for the second question, here ya go

If the theme was made for JPY and the Rom you want to put it on is JPY, it should work. However, there are sometimes system apps which need to be installed with the theme. Easyest thing would be to rip it off, put it on your rom and see if it works. Experiment a bit, thats how you'll learn.
thanks and thanks.
Its really interesting to have a full control of your phone....so i am enjoying learning this stuff....tried using UOT kitchen but got errors...

There's plenty of jpy based themes in the i9000>theme section.
You could metamorph it if it doesn't require any xml edits... it looks like Marilyn img edits which could be taken foment that rom..

i have a question along these same lines. if one wanted to copy the notification pulldown from a different ROM|theme, how would you do so? im using Perception 9.5 which is built on JK3, but the Androdena theme is built on JPX files. all i want is the notification pulldown elements. can you just copy those image files over and go? i always see themers talking about 9.pngs and i was just wondering if they'd prohibit just a simple copy from one tw-framework to another.
Hey Guys,
I made a custom rom which I want to share with you, it has a lot of fixes and feautres but..
Now that I've created everything I dunno how I could make it flashable.
I mean, i have the Zip with everything but where should I edit so you guys can flash it via CWM?
Thanks very much,
Stefcke

I need it for WeUI 8.0c and i can't decompile the SystemUI.apk to complete it, I can do the framework-res.apk tho, maybe someone else will have more luck
Ya it will be quite different on a miui rom as there are 2 framework-res apps and the systemui is called MiuiSystemUI (My user interface system user interface?) so it probably will not work. Best thing to do it on wuld probobly be CM9
I made a version for cm9 (looks really cool btw): [link]
If you could get someone to confirm it working on any miui v4 rom (any phone) and provide the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, I'd be happy to mod it for you.
All you would have to do is rename them to what they should be for a CM9 based ROM and do your stuff then rename them after you're done
I was able to decompile the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk for slim ics, but i am not able to compile them, so i tried with 7zip but it never booted, what should i do
I used both apk manager, and apktool
Will be available in infinitum rom 2.0
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?
2.Which is a better app to edit apk's: APKTOOL or APK MANAGER
3. How to remove the touchwiz launcher and replace it with apex launcher.
4. Is there an easy noobish guide to use aroma installer....??

1. Yes
2. Apktool if you are a pro. Apk manager if you are a newb..
3. Remove seclauncher from system/app and put the apex apk over there.
4. Aroma is a complex shizz..

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
