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!

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 have one noob q
Where can i download original GB Baterry ? In uot kitchen is only with numbers but i dont like it. I want simple GB baterry no one from kitchen is ORIGINAL- Like cyanogen has or oxigen ........
My currect ROM is Leedroid Port R5
maybe extract them from a CM ROM rar/zip file.. they are in there somewhere..
grtz
Where ? and how then i edit my baterry skin in my ROM . i must save it in framework-res.apk But how?
Sorry for my english
lol..everyone want the battery with numbers..and u want without numbers? isn't better with numbers? u can see the actual level of ur battery everytime
anyway i don't know where u can take that battery skin..u should do it yourself probably..extract the original framework-res (rename the apk as zip) of ur rom, and replace the battery icons with the ones from the cm7 rom..should work..do a nandroid..u can use also some tool (search in dev section) that unpack repack the framework for u
Ok i did it simple via winRar i replace icons and it works Huraaaaaaaaaaa
I want to modify the Phone.apk from teamhacksung CM9 B17 for Galaxy S.
What I want to do is to modify it that when I have an incoming call, to see the full picture of the caller. more precisely I want that the black rectangle where you have icon to answer or t reject, to be transparent.
It can be done. I got from the xda forum a moded Phone.apk for B16 where that rectangle is transparent.
I have attached a picture so that you understand what I'm talking about. i also have attached that transparent mod for B16.
Using Beyond Compare 3, I guess that I have to modify in the following file:
Phone.apk\res\layout\incall_touch_ui.xml and replace:
<com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.MultiWaveView android:id="@id/incomingCallWidget" android:background="@android:color/black" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="fill_parent" .......
with:
<com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.MultiWaveView android:id="@id/incomingCallWidget" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="fill_parent" .......
Here comes the problem:
I decompile Phone.apk with Apk_Manager_5.0.2, change that word, save the file and the recompile.
After i install the phone.apk using a zip container from recovery, when I try to make a call or receive a call, I get the: "Voice calls not suported" error.
I tryed all the combinations for compiling: system app, signed/unnsigned; nonsystem app signed/unsigned. Same error.
What am I doin wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks.
similar problem here, but my Phone.apk just crashs
I've had similar issues on Samsung's GB ROMs. I had no problems with Contacts.apk, MMS.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk. I could easily recompile them and moded versions would work. But recompiled Phone.apk kept FC-ing so I eventually gave up.
I don't know what tools themers use to make it work.
After recompiling the Phone.apk open it with 7zip, extract the file that you have modified and put it in the original phone.apk.

copying the file did work, thanks for that tip. However the mod did not work, the lower area is still black :-(
You need to change some files from the apk manager to compile android 4.0 files. I can upload my apk manager whitch works as soon as I get home.
those apk manager changes (it's actually not a single change in apk manager but just using apktools 1.4.1) are only related to the smali/dex files. layout/*.xml aren't influenced by that.
These are the changes that I was talking about:
"No problem I used Apk Manager 5.x(dont know exactly). But I've done this two things with the APK-Manager:
-deleted the original aapt.exe in /others and copied the one from the platform tools folder in from the sdk(has to be done if you work with ics apps)
-(de)compiled with Apk-tool 1.4.1 instead of 1.4.3 as the newer version sometimes causes some errors. Just delete the Apkttool.jar in /others and download 1.4.1 from the apk tool webite and paste it in /other
afterwards everything should work fine.."
i know those changes (see above), they don't solve the problem though.
apktool 1.4.1 + copy unchanged files (everything but ressources.arsc and incall_touch_ui.xml): FC
apktool 1.4.1 + don't copy: FC
apktool 1.4.3 + copy unchanged files: no FC but contact pic is still the old size
apktool 1.4.3 + don't copy: FC
same proble here with GS2.
this incoming call screen filled with black is very anoying...
any news on how to fiw that?
phone transparent incoming call
That app does wgat it is supposed, ask mr goodle, for i don't kjnow where i have found it
i made it AOKP build 37
Thats great, but can you explain how to do that?
Cause i' use GS2, and not GS, adn with different rom, we have to use differents phone.apk.
So instead of asking you every time, i'd like to learn how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi. That's how I was able to do it:
First, copy your Phone.apk from the system folder inside your phone to your computer. Do not use any other Phone.apk, because it may be another version and it will not work. Or extract the Phone.apk from the rom that you flashed to your phone and use it.
You must make some changes to the apk manager to complie/decomplile Phone.apk.
Here is the list with the changes. If you follow it exactly, it should work:
-delete the original aapt.exe in /others and copy the one from the platform tools folder from the sdk(has to be done if you work with ics apps) - you must install android 4.0 sdk. Google it and you will find it easy.
-(de)compile with Apk-tool 1.4.1 instead of 1.4.3 as the newer version sometimes causes some errors. Just delete the Apkttool.jar in /others and download 1.4.1 from the apk tool webite and paste it in /other
afterwards everything should work fine...
Then, when you get the unsignedPhone.apk, rename it to Phone.apk, and put it in a zip file and flash via recovery. Do not copy it with inside the phone because it will not work. If you don't know how to make a zip file, just download any mod (perka, reloaded ...) and open the zip with 7zip, delete any apk's you find in it, and drag Phone.apk inside the System folder from the zip, and then flash it via recovery.
Good luck.
If it does't work, send me an email: [email protected], and I will send you my apk manager that is allready modified and works to compile/decompile.
hi all
i have a copy of the ICS phone and contacts apk's from here
BUT i'm not able install the apk's as the installer complains that there is a apk with the same name....
i've looked in /system/app and can;t see phone.apk or contacts.apk anywhere.
Can anyone please assist ?
Did you ever figure this out? I would like to keep my stock touchwiz rom with the multiwindow feature, but I would much prefer, the vanilla ics/jb phone and contacts app.
