i know some themes change it, but i like the theme i have already. i just want to change the keyboard to a more pleasant look. is there somewhere i can find different ones to download or flash onto my rom? i don't want to use betterkeyboard app, etc.
Here You Go Buddy.
Well i skinned the stock keyboard pretty easily with a few easy techniques.
First check out my theme Ivory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612315 To see if that's what you want. I hope your familiar with themeing or this might be confsing.
-I took the latinIME.apk from cyanogens last rom
-Opened it as a zip and navigated to the res drawable folders
-downloaded the better keyboard skins i wanted (simple black and green)
-pulled the different drawable files from the betterkeyboard apps and replaced the stock cyanogen ones
-resigned apk and flashed inside my theme

haha thats EXACTLY what i tried to do yesterday night! except i got the acore force close thing, & im sure it's because i didn't sign it first. i had an easy auto-sign program but i deleted it a few days ago :| & now i can't find it on here anymore!

haha what are the odds well at least your on the right track!
I would go for editing HTC_IME.apk, just a personal preference i guess, but i think its better, and have played around with editing it a bit myself, and its pretty easy, but you need to be able to do *.9.png files.

Im not sure, are you using stricstons signing tool? how are you flashing it?
What ROM are you trying it on? The new CM ROMs the keyboard is now in the LatinIME.apk instead of the framework-res.apk, but if you are using one of the other ROMs, that may not be the case.

i dont think so, im using a modded apk signing tool i found on here, i lost the link.
and im doing
cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk(the one i made) /system/app
in terminal emulator.
then after that the keyboard just dissappears. if i restart after that, the keyboard never shows up. if i just try to go back, i get acore force close repeatedly.

yea i know, im on cyanogen's latest.
You may want to try getting Stericson's signing tool. If it is disappearing signing could be the main issue. Since you edit it on your PC, why don't you just push it through adb after signing instead of copying it to your sd and then having to use the terminal?

the thing is though that i used the same signing tool to edit a graphic on a different app & it worked just fine.
i don't have/really know what adb OR sdk is & terminal is the easiest way i know how to do it. i mean does it really make a difference?
its been confirmed that it's not my signing tool because i used the same tool to edit a different app, a battery widget i downloaded from the market. & it worked fine. anyone else can help me?
lets get this working buddy,
Alrighty maybe try flashing the keyboard in an update.zip, just put the latinIME.apk into a folder named app. Then copy a meta inf folder from another theme download, you can use mine. Then send that to a compressed folder, resign and try to flash it. I would try that, I have never had good luck pushing with adb and pulling stuff, I stick with the easy way
yesssss i finally got it to work! it turns out i didnt need the signing tool at all. i took the latinime.apk file from a theme with a skinned keyboard, then i ONLY replaced the keyboard png's, and kept the meta-inf how it was. thanks guys for trying to help
Firstly,pls notice this script is only for the phone which have got root.
Before below steps,pls make sure your usb mode is not as mass storage.you need choose none or first item when you plug your usb cable in.
Thx for all the XDA guys hard work and especially DG ,Shawnbuck,Fenny and anyone else that contribute a lot for XDA and us.
2011/7/4 Update for restoring script of stock Webtopmod 4.1.83
2011/5/4 updating:
Adding the restore script for restoring to stock version of V4.1.57 webtop files in order to update to 4.1.83.
After succeed updating and got root access,you can run webtopmod V8 again to get the webtop cracked.
pls notice in order to backup the stock webtop version ,you need answer "N" when prompt "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" for your first run script after updating.
Then your stock webtop file will be backed up in /sdcard/webtopmodbackup(thx for terrypchan's uploading files)
Background:
I found some guys complained lose webtop mod after root for 4.1.57(now 4.1.83).
Actually, what we need is just to replace some files that we use for stock version.
But the original script will not work for 4.1.57.
In order to make some new guys crack webtopmod easily , i update the script to make it useful again.
I also add Chinese font support on webtop.Now you can visit Chinese webside at webtop.The Chinese will displayed correctly.(If some errors happend regarding font fix,it doesn't matter of your crack.Maybe it's because your system is English version)
I don't need your bears for it.Just press "thank" butten or leave a feedback,which is enough for me.
V8 will be stable version for you and could not be updated so far.
Steps:
1. download the file
2. extract and press install.bat as usual
3. run script in rooted Atrix before you do any action regarding deodex or theme changing
3. look at the screen and answer the question accordingly(If it's your first time to run the script in this system version---noticed i mean version not the phone,you need put "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" to backup your stock files
4. after reboot,you webtop back again.
[option]5. If you want to deodex or any theme changing,then do it.
[option]6. Run the script V8 again after you do deodex or theme changing,this time you don't need input "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?"
Remark:
1. webtopmodbackup.zip is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.26 version for updating to 4.1.57
2. restorewebtopmodv4.157 is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.57 version for updating to 4.1.83
3.webtopmod1.1updatedV8 can be run under any rooted Atrix to active the webtop mod
4. You'd better to run V8 to get webtop before you do deodex or any theme modification like gingleblue which will replace your webtop files with deodex and V8 cannot backup your stock files automatically
Version Introduction:
1.V8 (instead of V7)is fixed for Bell version.--updated on 4/18--I missed one sentence in scripts of V7.Thanks for Becart's correction.All the users(at&t and bell version) can use this version for webtopmod
1.V6 is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny.You can updated from your old mod files or use it to crack your webtopmod directly.
Updated History below:
4/23 Now adding script of going back stock mod files(4.1.26.Pls notice it's different from 4.1.57 files and cannot use for updating to 1.8.3).Any one can download WebtopModBackup.zip and run uninstall.bat to make the files go back to stock version.You need notice i didn't test it but you can try and if any error,let me know.
(Update V8):
Fix script for Bell version.Thanks Becart's correction.
(Update V6):
Now reinclude the Fenny's file and update a little script.It works with Fenny's updated 4.1.57 Mod files now.Thx for his job and updated.You can find details throughthis link .
(Update V5):
Sorry .Made a mistake,i didn't notice Fenny's file format,it cannot be used for this script directly.V5 went off line. Sorry for the inconvinience.You can find V6 above.It should be workable.
V5 Version is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny. Thx for Fenny's quick updated for 4.1.57 mod files.
Thx for Fenny's mod files again.
Then follow above steps to update.
Pls notice you need answer if you have crack the mod files ago in order to keep you stock files in SDCARD otherwise it will be overwritten when you run the V5 script.
(Update V4):
Now it can be used for any version of atrix including Bell.
(Update V3):
Donot need input command by manually any more.But you need keep phone screen on and allow SU when the script run.
(update V2) :
Filename of webtopmod.sh changed from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh since many person ignor the capitalization.
pls notice the last command need use filename exact same as webtopmod.sh now.all the letter is lowercase
Backup:
You can find the link for root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
The 3 crack files are from Fenny's thread. you can find it through below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193

use the old file.the OTA doesn't show any clue about webtop.apk updated.
update some script.
1.could help out about the adb missing...if you meet this issue,you could force close adb.exe through task manager of windows.
2.change webtopmod.sh filename from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh. Now you can ignor the capslock letter
sorry still not working i even put it in the C: with run as administrator
Ran the script last night and tested it. Works great.
Thanks!

update to V3.
Whoever has not been succeed by old version,you can try this one.
how do you add different icons into the status bar
Use an app called metamorph. You can modify the framework...and that's the status bar icons
Tbolt meatclaws via talkatap
Go to uot.dakra.lt/kitchen and make one for yourself. You can edit the colors and much more. All you need is your ROMs framework-res.apk.
Get the framework.apk from the rom your using (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) and from the theme that has the icons you want, then use 7-zip to get into the framework res apk / drawable (drawable-hdpi) folder and swap out the .png files that you want to change. Make sure the new file has the same name as the one you are replacing.
You'll have to copy the .png files onto your desktop to view them and get familiar with the apk folders, it's not difficult.
Close the framework-res.apk in 7-zip, no need to re-sign it, and push it back onto your phone.
reboot.
or Ninjamorph.
is the methods described only for custom roms? im running stock rom...
any apps u guys recommend that use the least amount resources?

I had no idea there was a kitchen like this available without the nasty coding.
Thanks very much!
do you have to be rooted to use this
OK I just tried this. After I flashed the .zip I got a TON of force closes from various places. Browser, google search, some others, right when the phone booted. I followed the directions and extracted and uploaded my ROM. the only options I wanted to flash were the circle battery and the bootanimation. The bootanimation and circle battery did show up, but after it booted there were just way too many force closes.
Can anyone help on what I need to do?
First thing I always do out of habit is go into CW, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, then reinstall my zip. Takes care of most FC issues.

I want to try the UOT Kitchen but I can't confirm if the stock TB rom is odexed or deodexed. I am a newb, been looking for an answer, but I can't find one.
**UPDATE** So I been browsing my rom files and ive seen some .odex files. I think this means its an odexed rom and can't be used with the kitchen. Is that correct?
all confusing to me! haha
I have done quite a few mods to the graphics in the Framework, including the battery one here. My question is that every time I push the framework back and reboot. I have to re-setup a few things (i.e. passwords) and clear contacts and resync. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help anyone may have.
Stock rom is odex. You can download plainjane rom that is deodex stock and rooted.

As the title says, I've started deleting bloatware from zipped roms by deleting all the .apks I don't want.
Haven't had any related issues yet, but I'm wondering if it is possible I could run into one ...
So is this a reasonably safe process or not?
What do you think?

You mean, you deleted the apks aftr unzipping the rom & again zipped the rom file back & flashed? If yes, then I dont think you will run into problems..in one of the JB thread someone asked "how about making a light version of this rom with aroma installer?" & OP replied saying "unzip the rom, remove the apks which you dont want & zip it back, then flash"..I tried searching for that thread, but coudnt find it
No, I didn't bother to unzip it, if by that you mean extracting it to my desktop. I just opened it up with winrar, took a look around, deleted what I didn't want, and closed it up again. No problems so far but it actually isn't any faster than uninstalling the apks once the rom is installed ...
Don't you feel risking a possible brick

Hi friends,
As we all know, sammy devices comes with lots of junks and bloats which hardly we use.
So, i was looking for a thread where i could find a way to debloat/remove excess system files from J7/6 but i was quite depressed when i found no link for my device. Although some nice techies have posted zip from other sources, i mean some debloater zips are directly posted here from s6 groups. And as we know that not all devices have same bloats or junks or having different names of same bloats.
That's why i tried to do some changes on a zip made by @TENN3R (Originally made by @ambasadii . Thanks both of you man) and finally come here with this work. Hope you'll love it.
Before flashing this zip, my device system part was showing 118mb space. After flashing zip modded by me, i got whopping 1.19gb free space in system.
All i can say is, your device system will have a great amount of space to breath which will surely show you result in battery life + performance (as per my experience I'm getting +15/20% battery life and performance is superb)
So, let's come to the point. There's attached zip, download it & move it to device internal storage/sdcard/usbotg. Reboot to recovery (your device must be rooted with TWRP recovery preinstalled). Flash this zip and wipe dalvik/cache. Reboot to system and you'll see that almost all junks is removed.
To know which apps it removes and if you want to keep some system apps, open zip, copy updater script on your pc, open updater script with notepad++, check all apps names one (takes hardly few minutes) and if you want to keep any app in system and don't want to remove it, just remove that whole line. For example, if you want to keep "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter", remove line contains that app name ? runs ("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter"); ? including semicolon same as shown here.
I suggest you to take backup of all apps (system/app & system/priv-app) so in case you want to restore any app, you can do it. It will remove some unwanted junk apps from csc folder also, (Yes it will remove bike mode too)
I have tested this zip few times on my device (SM-J710GN) and on one another device (SM-J710FN) and there's no any fc or issues. So i think it's worth trying.
But as we all say here, I'm not responsible if your device get bootloops, your wife hits you or your dog bites you for some reasons.
Do not forget to hit thanks button. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Good work bro

Good work! I must try it out.
Excellent! Works like a charm! Thank you a lot. I've done a video guide (sub Eng). Hope this can be helpful.

Here is the original zip file attached.
You should edit the script according to your needs before flash.
Because it also remove sbrowser, nfcui,sbike etc. etc.
