Should I be able to take the framework-res.apk from one ROM and put it in to another ROM and then flash the entire ROM? Because I just pulled one from an Azrael ROM and put it in to an EViO ROM and flashed it and I still had all the same notification bar icons, etc.
Not a good idea. Check out the theme forum to learn how to theme. There is a lot of good stuff in there. And the notification bar icons are usually stored in the individual apk's, not the framework.
In a sense ROM, a lot of the icons are in the com.htc.resources.apk instead of the framework-res.apk. That should get you there, everything should be fine as long as both the transplant ROM's have the same base.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
You have to wipe your dalvik anytime you change something like that

Using android kitchen seems pretty limited! Want to theme my work but frustrated a little need advice! Can i just swap some files framework, res or something!
sent from my personal cooked eVoKINGS SUPERSONIC v1.1
in my experiance ... yes you can. I ooften take themes and swap parts of them into roms doing this. you may find some of the files in com.htc.resources too. The trick is to decomile the reamework/resources files replace the .png files you want and then recompile them and put them into your rom. It shoudlnt be to hard to use an exsiting them to do this unless your rom has special ui elements (ie the switch bar in the notification drop down i still cant figure out how to get correct)
I tried swapping frameworks,Res files most that worked swapped phone dialer image with gimp! Yeah! Any file folders that i can swap between roms let me know! eVoKINGS Supersonic v1.1 is my first rom that i am working on AOSP 2.2.1 posted it yesterday! Thanks for the response!

I flashed MIUI, then applied the theme I wanted, Elite Pro HD. I wanted the SCB battery mod as well, so booted into recovery and flashed the one I made of only the battery mod, however after uploading the framework-res.apk file in the kitchen it removed practically all themeing in MIUI after reboot. After I do that, it will not allow me apply any new themes. Some icons change but nothing else, the dock icons, fonts etc all stay stock MIUI and I can't figure out why so any help would be much appreciated. Would love to be able to somehow implement the SCB mod into the theme or just make them work together.
it sounds to me like you will have to learn how to make custom frameworks if you want it all working together.
my suggestions:-
choose whatever battery you want on UOT - make it for any rom, doesnt matter you only need the files.
decompile the UOT framework - take the .png's for the battery and .xmls that control them
decompile your already custom framework - copy .xml's and .png's from the UOT framework over to it.
compile framework, add it to an update.zip and sign that.
you might want to search xda if you dont know how to do any of the above, all the info is available here
EDIT: looking at that theme it already has a percentage battery, if the .xmls are the same as UOT you could just replace the .png's in the original update and re-sign

Kitchen removes nothing. if u cooked file from your rom, so u get everything stock.
U should cook framework-res.apk from the theme's zip.
Hi I'm on a 2.1 Sense rom and I was just wondering how do I change the notif bar's battery and background?
I tried just changing the icons in the framework-res apk in the drawable-mdpi folder
then I just saved it and pushed it and replaced the original framework but that just put me on an endless repeat of booting so I came back to 2.1 sense so .. How do I change it ?
I'm trying to change it like A motoblur theme
If I can't do it no Sense UI please tell me how to get it working on either GB or froyo?
I'm on the new radio btw
cm6.1 well you can go into cyanogen setting under ui than extras there is some different ones to pick you can use a theme you can flash a custom one its all on you or your rom
i suggest a theme poke around the forums for one
you can find a metamorph theme for your phone. and you just apply the notification bar with metamorph app
So, I forgot to backup my system & framework apk's before I uploaded them into the kitchen and made a new theme. *I know, shame on me*.
Is there a default/stock for those or are they created based of individual phone information?
What i'm asking is, do I need to re-install the rom to get those back or can I just pull them from above said stock apk's?
Android: 2.3.5
Rom:Cm7(08012011)
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!!
Thanks-

i'm confused. are you saying you dont like your theme and want to go back to stock or you want you want to update to the next nightly but dont want to do the kitchen every time?
I'm not reaaal familiar with the kitchen stuff, I know more than enough to get myself in trouble (changing radio's, roms, etc) but haven't completely grasped the themes yet.
It SEEMS like a couple of things are not changing even if I create a completely new theme (The battery icon, the lockscreen buttons and something else I forget)
My thinking is, there's a generic theme(s) for the rom and when you create a get a new one, it updates certain aspects of it.
If I create a new theme in kitchen and only change the battery, wouldn't all of the other settings revert to the "default" theme?
On a completely different note-
What's the difference between ADW themes and Themechoose themes?

Ah. ok. so what ever you change in the kitchen it will change in the apk. it wont touch the rest of the apk. its kinda like an online apktool. it unpackages it changes the png's you want and then packages it up again using the resources from the apk you submitted. ADW themes are for the ADW launcher so it only themes the home screens. but Themechooser themes the whole phone, or as much as the developer of themechooser allowed it to do.
Great! Thanks
Just created a change in the status bar, fancied some different colour icons and the circle battery. So I used UOT kitchen.
I am running ARHD 7.0.4 and have rctweak v4 flashed.
Anyway, I created the mods in the kitchen I wished to use, uploaded the three files required from the rom.
I have since flashed the cooked zip, unfortunately the lockscreen has not changed (I selected Cyanogen), the status bar icons are still default white. In fact the only thing that changed is the battery icon which is now a circular battery icon as requested.
Is this normal?
In the uot kitchen you only needed two files from the rom
1. The framework file in the framework folder
2. systemUI in the app folder was all you needed to upload.
Thats probably where you are running into your issues you added to many files to the uot.

Try wiping cache and dalvik before flashing the zip.
Also you uploaded the right amount of files so I wouldn't worry there. It needs three for sense roms and two for aosp. It would only matter if you have a sense Rom and didn't upload the HTC framework. Sometimes too UOT doesn't know what to do with a certain file, especially on sense, because the layout of the file is different on newer versions. You could see if they have the version of Arhd on the droplist of specific roms instead of uploading the files by yourself.

I think the issue is with having RCtweak v4 installed. I'm guessing this changes the framework file and possibly SystemUI during flashing? Perhaps RCtweaks and the UOT changes don't play nicely?

Carefully select right folders for your rom in UOT Kitchen -> File upload -> Flashing folders for system files
Good luck!
Ok, now running ARHD 6.3, having the same problem.
Created the mods I wanted to use, uploaded the three files needed and then grabbed my cooked zip from the kitchen.
Flashed this but only the battery has changed. I requested the status bar icons be changed too and did select an icon package (g15 androidian), but these did not change.
I have cleared the cache and reflashed the kitchen zip but the same result.
I also checked the kitchen listing, this rom is not in there so I have no option but upload the framework, ui and htc framework file.
