Hi just wondering when I download a battery icon for example of the kitchen do I have to wipe before I flash it? Also if I decide I won't different font for example do I just flash that over again and the battery will stay?
Thanks
No you don't news to wipe. And yes the battery will stay. The fonts are just normal font files that get put in /system/fonts. The battery gets built into the framework and the framework gets replaced. Just to be safe I would backup first because I have had it where the flash has messed up.

Ok thanks for the reply mate. How come every time a flash something the battery goes back to the standard 1 so I have to flash it again?
Thanks
Also is there any way of changing the email envelope you get when you get a email? I can't seem to find anything.
Anyone any idea why when I flash some icons my modified battery goes back to standard?
why don't you ask those questions in the right place => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
uot kitchen thread by mendozina.
you shpould considere what your are flashing and how... each time you flash new icons, if it's system icon then framework is replace. you should use (copy) the mod bat framework from you system to flash new icon and keep the already mod you had done.
but this is a though since you don t give a lot explaination.

Are you using the ROM files provided by UOT each time? If so, each time you make new items in the kitchen you're only over-writing those specific files when you flash it. Therefore if you choose not to change the battery mod in the kitchen when you flash new icons, you're flashing standard battery settings over the previously flashed customer battery settings.
i have similar problem,
today i have cooked my first mod, just new battery icons for status bar, status bar icons and new font. rom gets cooked w/o problems, also flashing goes as smooth as should be. the thing is, when i boot the phone no change is visible.
i didn't upload framework and system apk-s, i used IC 1.1.0. from kitchen, which is the rom i use. i did use edify script (for CM 3.x) and uncheck ThemeChooser.
i must be missing something but can't figure out what it is...any help appreciated. thx!
ok, i figured it out...flashing zip doesn't work for some reason, but adb push solved it... everything works now! for me, at least...hope it helps someone...;-)

DL appropriate mod that you desire. Flash .zip from CWM, unless directed otherwise. Done ......
You can google UOT Kitchen (dont have enough posts to link you)
It is also good for lots of battery indicator mods.
As always make sure you nandroid backup before you try anything.

You didn't have to root to change the lockscreen. You can fully customize it with Widgetlocker. It's a few bucks, but more than worth it. Look it up & check out the WL themes thread as well, there's some great stuff there.
I wouldn't base my rom on the bootanimation & lockscreen, as both can easily be changed. To change the bootanimation, you either need a flashable zip specific for your rom, knowledge of adb, or Root Explorer or another root-level file explorer. Find the boot animation you want to use and download it. If it isn't a flashable zip, you'll need to know where your rom stores the boot animation. On Sense based roms, the boot animation is stored in system/customize/resource. With Root Explorer (or an alternative) change the name of the original boot animation, and move the one you want to that folder, ensuring it's named bootanimation.zip then set permissions.
There are threads with lists of boot animations available to download, or apps that allow you to browse/install from their list.
If you're having trouble flashing through recovery, I suggest switching to Amon Ra. Whatever you tried to flash was probably amend scripted. Once you've switched recoveries, remember to do a backup!
I also suggest learning more about being rooted before making any significant changes. Know what & why you're doing something before you do it. Good luck & have fun
the rom's (Stock+) framework removed it, but after applying a UOT update
that used that framework, its back again .
All I used from UOT is the circle battery mod?
1st, to recover, if I just put back what came with the rom,
(the three files I uploaded to UOT) will that put things back
as they were?
Is there a way to get the circle battery mod without restoring
the dumb recticle?
Thanks.

I believe you would have to use uot to get the battery mod, and then manually remove the recticle.
I was wondering what the systemui.apk does?

It provides the status bar that you see at the top of the screen and the notification pulldown curtain.. among other things.
will it affect the framework or any tweaks that are in a rom if i change it?
If you are just wanting to change the hue of images (pngs).. then the answer is no.. you can do that all you want.

I pulled the system ui from another rom that i liked more. if i were to replace the one that is being used with the one i like would it effect like the battery tweaks? os is that completely seperate? thanks.... noob questions
It is very common for ROM devs to tweak that file for their respective projects. I have done basic changes like swapping out images and such without harm. (changing battery images usually)
On the other hand I have also tried mixing the systemui.apk from one ROM to another and many times it breaks the status bar. Whenever I am going to play with modding that file I keep a flashable zip containing the original ready to go to put it back in case something goes wrong.
Thanks

Also, systemui depends on framework-res.apk to run correctly. Framework editing will also make changes to the notification bar. You may have to change them as a pair. Like the other user stated, either keep a stock flashable of what you're replacing on SD or a nandroid backup prior to changing any system files because the phone may not boot after you make changes.
Well, it's always a good idea to have a current backup anyway.
OK I changed it after I backed up and it seems to be running fine

Hi
I installed a custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223996). It shows the battery percentage indicator, which I would like not to see. Is there any easy way to turn it off (like change setting etc)? Or do I need to mod rom?
UOT kitchen
one way is under battery option, go to "SCB with %", and you can pick a battery without percentage
you can change other stuff if you like as well :victory:
so you mean that i need to cook the rom?
is there any other ways to turn it off for example to modify some property list?
no it's not cooking a whole new rom, read the instructions i linked again.
it's just changing a few system files, then you flash a zip. once you get the hang of it you'll find it's not difficult at all
the option to turn battery % off is available in roms like cyanogen and oxygen. if it's built into the sense rom don't think it's possible unless you flash a zip.
Thank you very much
