I have posted this in Themes, but not had any replies, so here goes in Q&A.
I have made a few themes using the UOT kitchen, and following the instructions in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1065789 , I have managed to get the theme in place, and also push one of the boot animations on. My question is, which file do I need to push to which folder to get the lockscreen to work? Is this even possible, or is that part of the kitchen currently only available on other phones?
While I am not an expert, I am not a complete noob either, so I can follow instructions without worrying about bricking my phone!
Any help would be appreciated.
OK folks, please now ignore this post. AndroHero has answered this for me (ie, the lockscreen is for CM7!)

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a 2.1 Sense-UI 'Lite' Rom, which will use a customised, lightened version of the Espresso Rosie. I'll be no-doubt spending every second of my free time in Photoshop with the aim of making this rom look stunning.
As for the rom itself:
I've used highlights from several of the current 2.1 releases from this and other forums, and I'm pretty happy with it so far; it has a very small 'not working' list, and the filesize is reasonably low for a Sense UI rom. Of course, I'll credit people where credit is due.
Anyway, the questions. Some of this may seem incredibly dumb. Please assume that I have an understanding of Linux, but I am very new to Android Development. I've simply read the guide that Lox posted, then taken a 'learn whilst I work' approach. So...
1. How do I edit the 'Software Number'? (I can't seem to find it)
2. If I start again with a clean, AOSP 2.1 rom, how do I make it use Rosie? It can't just be a case of putting the Rosie.apk in the right place can it?
3. If I want to select which apps/widgets appear and where, do I edit the relevant XML which contains the Screen/X/Y locations?
If/when I have more questions, I'll post them here!
Thanks in advance
1. Sorry dont know,
2. No you need to add all the framework files, quite a few of them I think.
3. system/customize/mns/default.xml
Dan
Thanks Dan. I have the Framework files, so that's easy enough.
I suspected it was the default.xml, so thanks again.
Anyone know the answer to my first question?
I think that it is somwhere in build.prop but I can be wrong.
1. No idea what you mean by 'Software Number'
2. com.htc.framework.jar and friends need to be added to init.rc's BOOTCLASSPATH var ... so at the very least, you need to provide a custom boot.img ... that rules out adding it over other custom ROMs ... on top of that all the Rosie related /system files need to be present...
3. yes - that default.xml is the place ..
Good luck ...!
(Side note ... Why oh why would you want to add sense!)
ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.
Here is my current theme and widgets
well apparently i cant post outside links so i will have to add them later here is the album to them thou

Enjoy and Thanks ahead of time
+1, I have had a hard time finding enough info to make me comfortable to start editing the 100 or so .pngs in drawable-hdpi.
OK, I have been searching and searching. I can find a lot of places where they post mods but I was hoping there would be a walkthrough for first timers. I would like to start modding some of the apps on my phone. (AKA Widgets transparent or themed). is there a place I can find what files contain what images for HTC Sense? when I was playing with modding in windows mobile sense I found a lot of info but I can not seem to find too much here.
I believe these are the steps:
1. get apk
2. unzip and change images
3. repack apk
4. copy apk to /system/app
I am not sure how to repack a apk yet (any pointers would be great). I am not sure I am suppose to get the apk from the system folder or from the website? by copying it to the system folder is that enough? or do I have to install it?
Any little pointers would be great.
Thanks,
SoBBie

Hi everybody, is there someone who could help to find some easy way to make HTC Sense rotate? I found some threads where it was not fully understandable described for me. Unpack Rosie.apk, change parameters in Androidmanifest.xml.
How can I edit xml file of this kind? I tried notepad, Wordpad, nothing works. Will it work if I pack edited file back to apk?
Tell me, do you feel that your question is related to ROM development?
Use a launcher.
*insert sig here*

Question from 2 posts above stands and is right on money. Having said that, have you tried posting in the right section of the forum (Desire Q&A) or using notepad++ for editing?! Don't answer here, this thread needs to be closed.

Hey everyone,i've just started to learn more about the framework and stuff(to give back to this awesome community) by decompiling it and looking at the xmls and pngs within and one thing i found was really obvious that there is no bible of information that us new comers can consult for our questions
I would like to request all the brilliant minds here on xda to help me with a few things if this thread catches their attention.It would educate me and everyone else if our brilliant devs can share their info.I would like to start with a few questions and i really hope this thread takes off as the real reason we are all here is to learn
Questions:
1.The /res/anim folder in the framework has all the animations of the rom if i am not mistaken.But if i overwrite the xml files within with my own collection of xmls there are some files that are not overwritten and hence some animations of the rom donot change.The question here is this.How do find out what xml stands for what animation.Htc has removed the home button animation and i would be very grateful if someone can help me find it.Also app opening animations are still sense and i can't tell which xml to edit to find which one is the app opening one.
2.Recompiling the framework through apk-tool is giving me a lot of errors even when i don't modify anything.I'm using a custom rom framework so maybe thats the cause but still it should compile right.
3.Is it possible to decompile the framework in the phone(through an app i mean),add stuff to it,and then recompile it? Or is my only option to open it as a zip file and just replace and delete xmls .
I will update the thread with more questions and request anyone who has any info to please share it so we can all learn
Long live xda
