Maybe Im an idiot and sorry if this has been answered already I searched and could not find it. Ok so here is my noob ?? I am trying to cook up my very first Supersonic Evo rom using DRIXDAS Htc Android Kitchen, I am also trying to theme it at the same time. Now I have found and created some pretty nice stuff in both the frameworkres.apk and the htcres.apk, I think I have themed it pretty well, that being said I have been trying to add some already themed clocks and friendstream widgets to my rom. This is where the problem comes in, see i know that the themed clocks and friendstream widgets work on my phone because I have flashed the flashable .zip, after rom is up and running of course. However when i try to just add the .apk to the system app folder (either clock or friendstream.apk) then cook the rom with them already in, it doesnt work. They dont even show up. Now here is what I have tried. I have signed them using signAPK, I have also tried signing them with the kitchen, and of course I always zipalign all my .apks before cooking the rom. The process seems to go through well both signing and zipaligning, but when the rom boots niether are there. If I could get any input on this I would appreciate it. Thank you to all the Devs on here who have insprired me to try this, all being said I am having fun and learning A LOT!! Also if anyone could give me any pointers at all, like how to add a reboot option to the power settings of my rom that would also be helpful. Any tips that anybody can think of that I wouldnt know about would be awesome. Again thanx to Devs and anybody on this website for there imformative info on rom developing and theming!
Try just swapping the apks no signing or kitchen see if that works for you!
I presume you are using ubuntu so just drag and drop

Thanx but I tried that already, no go the niether the themed clock nor the themed friendstream were in the rom after it was cooked and installed. And I am using windows 7 so I have to use cygwin, only other alternative would be to set up ubuntu vm, wich I can do if anyone thinks that would make a difference.
Thanx anyways.
BTW Just as a side note I love the Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 rom, very nice work indeed sir!

Added custom clock and a few other things. No wipe and not full os so u should be able just to flash over the old version w/ no problems. Won't be editing anything else but i'm working on making a dude version should post soon. I'll leave the first one up for ppl that like just something basic or using home apps. Basic blue theme my first shot at a theme. No custom icons just basic stuff I'm still learning. Added stericson files for white clock and constant battery meter.
Update
Added dudes build. After seeing manup's default theme i really didn't wanna post it but here it is anyway. I couldn't get stericson's files working I know its not the files it's something im doing but can't pinpoint what the problem is. Tested from fresh version of dudes build with none of my apps to sd ran fine all day. I know that shouldn't make a difference but use at your own risk and as always make a backup first. Used dudes template so no wipe should be needed if you have alot of apps give it a few minutes at the android boot image.
Link no custom clock,dialer, or music widget

if you have alot of apps give it a lil while to populate the apps tray i've been flashing it all day no problems if not try a wipe but you should'nt have to its not the full os
Never mind. Wiped, copied the Nandroid backup files after verifying the theme does work, flashed Nandroid backup, and waited about five minutes for the fully-loaded and themed phone to boot. Theme works great!
blue dream
Very nice. Hope to see it available for dudes rom with a2sd.
can anyone confirm stericsons files work on dudes build and i'll probably need someone to beta test the dudes build version when i finish because i had problems with my apps to sd going from haykuro to dudes and really don't wanna go through that again or if anyone knows if that problem with the different system ui's is fixed
I can confirm that stericson's files work with dude's 1.1a (apps2sd using the ln -s method)

Hey y'all! I did a whole guide of using the Vanilla MMS app on HTC Sense, it was a SUCCESS! Soo now, I was wondering if someone could see if the DIALER on the Vanilla ROM can work with the HTC Sense ROM.
So basically, I am needing someone to Extract the Vanilla (or other ROM) Dialer and put it on the Sense UI ROM. Somehow, my phone has different settings, so I can do this myself.
If you find out, please provide the APK and a guide if possible!!
This should be fairly easy and possible. Should be just like porting the MMS on Vanilla to HTC Sense! I need testers! Thanks guys!
Hope you like my guide on Vanilla MMS on HTC Sense! thanks all!
PS. Is it possible for Vanilla Gallery to work on Sense UI? I will be testing this tomorrow, also, I will keep this thread updated! Thanks!!
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!
Anyone know how to BOLD the Title? I kinda FAILED at it! hhahah thanks guys!
I will test anything you want i HATE the sense dialer!

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).
You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

maybe rip the contacts.apk and phone.apk from CyanogenMod-6.1 for Vision :: V6.1.0-RC2 and give that a shot.
btw: you can download the rom, un-zip them and navigate to system/app/ and grab the apk's from there, That is what I did for the vanilla Mms.apk
thanks Wheeliest! You never disappoint me! hah
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!

Cool! thanks for the support guys! A little mistake I did.. i didn't copy the Contacts.apk haha soo if someone can copy that and maybe the lib file like shortlived says! thanks guys! lets make this into a reality!
edited because i found my mistake....also any luck?
Here is what ive gotten to work so far... I found a replacement dialer here http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/59459-replace-htc-dialer-dialerone-vanilla-clone.html
Download that file there then take these steps
1. change file name to com.android.htcdialer.apk
2. get your phone into recovery and mount the /system
3. adb push com.android.htcdialer.apk /system/app/
4. restart phone and your good to go.
be warned this does not get you the stock dialer. This is a clone type app which does look very similar but it has a few bugs. the main ones being it still uses the htc contacts app to add info and whatnot. i will play with this some more and see if i can't get it to work better by changing over the contacts.apk however I see a LOT of things all tied together with sense so i'm not sure how much more we will be able to do. it might be eaiser to just make a better clock/weather/animations and drop the sense ui all together.
My god.

Okay I have developed a couple AOSP ROMs and would like to do a sense ROM. Thats not my issue here, what's the problem. I decided to theme the HTC_IME.apk but when I do it does not show up the device its like it not installed. This is bothering me because I've never had this happen and the apk is compiling without errors. The base of my project in 3.70.651. any ideas and help would be great.
Are you wiping the dalvik-cache? You'll need to do that anyone you change the system files.

Thats one thing that I haven't tried yet, would that really make the ime apk not show up like it was never installed? I never had to do that with any of my aosp ROMs.
Thanks for the reply.
I would take his advice, he has some skills

So if your like me and like to change the theme's of your phone this is literally the website to do it!
uot.dakra.lt/kitchen <---- Copy/Paste that in your address bar.
It's a theme kitchen and it works on any phone, any ROM, and any version of Android (2.2 , 2.3)
-----------
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. I'm not at fault here, they even have a Youtube video on how to do it.
Sorry guys, let me lay things straight before confusion and cyber authority kick in, I DID NOT CREATE THIS KITCHEN. I give ALL credit to the person who put their life into it, please donate to them.
I just saw this on the internet and wanted to share with the XDA family!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys, some of you are having trouble with the kitchen, I'll just break down the instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Whatever ROM your CURRENTLY using, open it and find the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
{Remember, it'll only work with your current ROM, flashing it to another ROM will send you in a never ending boot, because I've done that, anyways, if you change ROMS, you need to re-cook the whole theme with your new current ROM's APK's}
2. Choose your selections, generate previews and what not
Froyo ROMS do not support transparent ANYTHING so do not select it. If your on a Gingerbread ROM then your good and you can check 'enable transparency in status bar' in the Status Bar section
3. Upload your APK's in correct order in the 'File Upload' category
4. As soon as step 3 has been performed, go to 'Summary' and hit 'Submit to Kitchen' If a category is red simply go back and generate the preview
5. If you get an error log in the 'Pickup' page, I don't know what happens so sadly you have to go re-cook your ROM again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys this should work like a charm with little to no trouble, I'm young and did this with a breeze.
Happy Theme-ing everybody!
Screen shots please =]

Thanks for the link man!!!! I just went and tried it out, and tweaked some things on a theme I have already now it's lookin really sweet!!! Thanks again!
@G1rome....It is a site so you can make your own custom themes, no screen shots available.

Great find and thanks for sharing it in the G2 community, best way to theme a rom with your own personal preferences.
I gave this a try, seems easy & straightforward to use. However, do you have to make a donation in order to submit your created theme to that kitchen?

Will this work with stock rom.
@cubanito151 If you follow the instructions carefully it will.
It works on all roms.
Anyone else having issues with the mods sticking? I only did the battery icon mod and it worked at first but now its gone and back to the stock look.
This is pretty lame that its not sticking and reverts back to the old battery icon.

What ROM are you using?
And when will it not stick? When you do a reboot?

Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.
