Make themes for kitchen - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

I have trying to get themes to run in the Doc and Stefunel kitchen.
This is a pretty demanding task. Many (almost all) themes can not be used as is due to a non standard resources.arsc and 9.png errors.
There is some theme pro's here.
We like to find a some kind of way to enable any theme inserted in a rom.
Any ideas to make this in a easy way?
/Doc

No one here any ideas? I already proposed someone make a theme kitchen and integrate it with Doc's rom kitchen but apparently all the smart guys that got time and would know how to do that bought a Desire.
Which takes us back at doc's original question someone knows a fail-proof way to integrate themes into roms without having to flash a post-install zip?

Hi Doc,
i know this isnt way you want, but probably it can work:
What about make some script, witch will do:
1) after flashing ROM and start android - reboot android to recovery
2) (i dont know if it is possible) make script for CWM witch will automaticaly flash theme and reboot to system
If Im wrong .. ignore this

I've never need a post-install script to put a theme into a ROM.
Except for the JPY Gingerbread, but me and XGX got that hammered out in the thread in the Captivate forum and it works just fine without a second .zip.

Hi, any link to point in right direction is most welcome

I've merely dropped the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk into the /system/framework. And any other files like android.policy.jar that goes with it.
For JPY, I had to take a few extra steps:

[MOD][Froyo JP6, JPA Repository] Reboot, Recovery, Download on Shutdown menu

I take credit for nothing here except adapting it for rom im currently running (Docs JP6 v1).
It should work for any deodexed unthemed jp6 (used Docs update.zip script to remove theme as he uses some heavily modified stuff in his words 'optimised' framework that renders it useless for unpacking, repacking) so framework is stock except battery and i did it only to test if it will pack properly.
IMO this should be on every custom rom from now on.
Credits: lol almost everyone but ill try to be fair.
DocRambone- (actually requested this few days back but you prolly too busy lol) most prolific and my favorite moder here just hope he stays modest. wish you would do theme templates with your releases kinda like @enomther from Nexus does since you like tinkering with frameworks so much.
Tayutama- for bringing it to i9000 (M,T) although i think you credited wrong guy for this as well as being up there with Doc (wish you only released untehemed rom and theme as add-on).
LOL it seems that im paying homage and making requests at the same time
untermensch- who brought it to galaxy S (vibrant guy) for wonderfull instructions HERE
true credit of this mod concept is lost in history as most others have it for ages
sztupy- for being my favourite Hungarian
RyanZa- for being part of every important discussion
Supercurio-for always being open to suggestions no matter how popular you get
Kalpik- for popularizing battery mod and is gaining momentum in rom cooking fast
Without you guys this forum would be dead.
That is not to say that other less known guys are any less important so big credit for all rest.
feel free to make any changes and improvements on this and really hope it becomes standard for cooked roms.
install with CWM or rename update.zip and use 2e recovery or unzip and manually copy to system/framework:
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
android.policy.jar
your phone dies. NMF i tested it on mine
JP6 - AOSP Lock, circle battery
For Doc like theme for this READ THIS POST

USEFUL feature for compulsive flashers. I remember your request on the doc's post and did +1 to it. Can I apply this on the Doc's ROM (themed)?
you will lose theme as i have no idea of the extent the doc customized framework folder and his framework-res does no compile properly and he does not provide template with latest changes (see my request above).
thats why i added circle battery so now you can edit the rest without having to use apk manager, you can use winrar or winzip since its only pictures now.

Alright - will give it a shot and let you know. Thanks!
OK tried it and:
Recovery -> Works
Reboot -> Works
Download mode -> Works
I get the feeling its slower shutting down/booting up though - not sure if its related.
If I wanted the doc's battery, can I copy it over to your theme? Can you point me what needs to change?
Would be good if you can post this on the doc's thread so maybe he will port it into his ROM

not my theme. default froyo jp6 theme with circle battery mod.
first boot slow due to generic lockscreen (another credit to doc for providing deodexed jp6 lockscreen mod android.policy.jar as my base)
its not slower or faster its the proper slow shutdown. the shutdown should be slow so the rom has time to save info. any other way is just like yanking the battery out with big possibility of data corruption.
heres a quick Docs themed framework-res.apk and androdena themed twframework-res.apk i think they go good together.
framework-res.apk is optimised .
just replace them in original zip script and update via CWM or manually copy via root to system/framework
hope doc does not take offense but i posted separately to gain visibility so i can get my dream of standardizing this thing and it should not be turned into repository either). i just happen to like this rom and use it so thats why it was made in docs jp6, if i was on tayutama lol than i would not have to do it.
I would like this in a JPA version if possible.

it would have to be by someone else (again: preferably integrated in rom by rom makers like tayutama did) or if i switch to jpa (which i dont plan at the moment).
believe me i have no idea what I'm doing lol. was just tinkering and since i have no idea, it is a painstaking work.
very useful , I'm love it.

Have noticed that with other shutdown utilities too... adb reboot recovery does seem to be the fastest off the blocks.

If you can supply me with framework.jar, framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar i can make it for JPA but they need to be deodexed meaning there can't be any .odex files.
Btw reason i credited designgears is because i took it from his rom
But i'm working on another version that puts the 3 options into a little window by itself so you will have a button saying "Reboot" and pressing on that will bring another window with those 3 options to reboot, recovery and download in them.
Will also see about getting Hot Reboot to work.
Hot Reboot is a reboot that doesn't reboot the phone meaning it kills all services and then starts those up that are needed when you boot the phone... It's faster then a normal reboot
Also have been in the plan to make a unthemed version of my rom but been thinking that if i do that there won't really be a reason to release a rom as it will pretty much be like Doc's that you can just apply a theme to it since there won't be much of a difference between his and mine if i release unthemed... Well other then i implement some stuff before he does ^^
@Tayutama : can you please make for JPA
They have battery mod version d integrated
Reg. Hot Reboot - does adb reboot recovery use Hot Reboot? It is pretty fast.

Saw the popup mod on nexus and sense roms. LIKE THIS neat. hope when you do you make instructions as well
Hot reboot would be amazing provided it does not kill my phone.
Trust me theres plenty of things to differentiate you guys. you just have different styles and priorities but its the theme flexibility that gives us users a way to differentiate ourselves not just from each other but from day to day moods and activities.
anyways just got Doc on board for theme templates current with the changes in latest rom releases for easy themeing. Are you in. it would really simplify making themes compatible with latest roms.
right now we barely have themes section for fingers of one hand which is sad.
keep up the good work.

First off sorry it's Hot Restart not Hot Reboot
Hot Restart: a new option ('hot restart') has been added that will allow you to respawn android's system server process, thereby starting with a "clean system" w/o actually rebooting the device
My current problem is getting that Window to work...
Reason is those pictures you linked to are on Sense frameworks so it takes abit to look through it and figure it out.
Also about the theme templates and that... PM me about it and we can talk.
Working great on Doc_Kalpik Froyo JP6/JPM V5.1.
Hope this becomes standard on cooked roms. Much more convenient.
Will This work on my captivate running cognition UCJI6 (2.2 2.6.32.9 kernel) and it cannot manually get into downloadload mode. Only with ADB!!
Great idea!
How about for those who want to use the AOSP lockscreen?
It also depends on android.policy.jar

[Q] Flashables?

first, i apologize if this is in a few threads all over these forums. ive tried reading through most but they are cluttered and outdated.
i have been looking for a few theme/mods in flashable form to use on a rooted stock/RUU rom.
i have been messing around with other roms trying to edit my own but it's becoming a very large hassle without a proper desktop and internet connection.
anyways, if anyone could point me to a thread with a working flash or tutorial for:
white taskbar (possibly similar to mikfroyo's theme)
battery icon with % (not metamorph files)
again, sorry if this information is in an obvious place, i cant seem to find it. thanks.

the battery icon one you can find in my sig, the links is for stock de-odexed ROMs though. If you have another ROM look at the OP for different versions of it
thanks so much!
Actually this one may work better for you, the other one was for an older version and is glitchy so I added the battery icons to the new framework.
Stock 3.30.651.2 Battery % Icons
Note: Be sure to wipe cache & dalvik before rebooting.
the 2nd file worked perfectly, thanks.
if anyone has a tutorial or flashable white task bar mod please inform me. thanks again.
hey shutuproman dude. you need a de-odexed rom to theme. this means .odex files that hold stuff for each .apk won't contradict the apk, causing massive force floses, and reboot. find a de-odexed rom, and you can flash whatever the hell you wnat.

You may be able to get away with it if you delete the .odex file, I've never tried it though. If it works it could easily be added to the updates script so it is done automatically.

[REQ] Stock EB13 Deodex Template with Power Mod, 1% battery, No Pop Up.

I am far from knowing how to get this going myself so I hope that one of the themers on here might oblige me by making this possibe. I like running stock for a bit since I am new to the Epic. But I would like the ability to have Reboot and Recovery from the Power Menu as well as the 1% battery option as well as No battery pop up from a stock deodexed template. I would still like all stock apps to remain in place as I remove those at my own leisure via root explorer or 7-zip prior to applying the zip. I am rooted and have no worries there but I have no idea how to get the .xml files edited or add any of these features. Especially on Froyo. Thanks in advance for the read and hopefully assistance! I am all for testing as well so...
I am really surprised that no one else seems to want this. If someone is able to do it can you include the camera fix and call log fix unless those are kernel issues which a kernel is taking care of it already. Please someone help us out!

Here is one link to a rooted deodexed stock install and there are a few others in Android Developement. Then you can add battery mods to that.

[Q] UOT Kitchen - System.apk/Framework.apk

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

List Of Working Themes for I9305

Just thought i'd make a list of themes that were working on our i9305's maybe this could be updated/stickied.
Working/Tested - Stock ROM
None as of yet
Working/Tested - Modified ROM
MotoMoto Blue Theme
Not Working
???
I will update this as i test themes, and other users do the same as of writing this i have only tired MotoMoto theme.
Yes I was just going to let you know that MotoMoto works, Just to be safe I just Removed the FmRadio stuff out of it ZIP just incase it messes something up, but i dont think it would, if it doesnt find the file i think it skips updating the apk, so should be ok
But yeh I Flashed perfectly. No problems at all I actually like this theme
Before you flash it would be better to make sure you look at the updater_script to check mount points and also what script/setup is being used

Could we not make a unified install script based on this one, to work with other themes that "may not" work?
I think it depends how the themer has setup up his mod, if its the same kind of setup type it should be very easy, Well how about who ever is wondering about a theme mod just put requests in this thread and one of us should hopefully be able to look into it for you or who ever
Doesn't belong in dev. Moved to themes.
Can someone please test and confirm if these theme work on XXALI9
