Need help on building my theme

So I started working on my own theme a while ago. Most of it is pretty simple stuff. Mostly work I've done using Ninja Morph. But I wanted to create a flashable zip in case I needed to wipe my phone for some reason and reapply the theme. So I looked up directions on how to create a theme(http://www.incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-themes/6020-[tutorial]-how-make-themes.html)
I followed this as best I could and put everything in a zip file and transfered it to my phone. When I tried to flash it, it gave me an error(error 6 I think). Can anyone tell me what I am missing to get this to work?
I'll attach the zip I made so anyone can take a look at it. I call it DragonBread. I am running OMFGB 1.2.0. I'll try to attach some screen shots of what it looks like on my phone too.
Edit: Ok so for whatever reason, I cant upload my zip file. I have tried both zip and rar. Any ideas?

Had to upload on media fire. Someone check this out and let me know what is going on. Thanks.

Can nobody help me with this?

first of all bro if you didnt mod any of the jars get rid of them. they are rom specific. you want framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources and any apps you modded. if you have not modded any of the apps take them out.
if you did mod a jar leave it in but it sounds like your not there yet with your experience. also if your just swapping images use 7zip on your laptop or computer. ninjamorph is fun but i only use that on my phone when im not near my laptop.
im assumig you have a dinc. is this an aosp rom your on because i dont see sense in your theme.
also your probably not getting help because to just vaguely say error 6 is not any information. post exactly what errors you are recieving and what recovery you are using. also what rom are you on? and did you use the same framework for your theme.

I didn't see anything in that link you provided in the OP about signing the zip too.

As stated in the OP I am running OMFGB 1.2.0. No sense. Yes Dinc. Hence the post in the Dinc theme forum.

Ok. CWM 2.5.x is my recovery. As for the error that is about all the info it gives me. It says error in sdcard/download/Dragonbread.zip (status 6). That's all the info it gives me so that's all the info I can give you.

I was wondering about signing. I'm also wondering if it might be easier to do this as a Meta Morph theme instead.

I figured but you have no idea the mistakes people make on xda.
Your zip script looks good tho you have something in there Iv e never seen before. Try updating to the newest clockwork
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

Here try this and see if it works. Upgrade your CWM to the newest version and then flash this. I removed all the apk's that you did not touch and the jar's that you have not touched and it made it alot smaller. I also updated your script to the 3.0 CWM version. Please note. IF Your ROM has a newer verion that works on the new CWM Then Upgrade it. After you flash the new CWM all backups that you have will not work as it is saved for the older version of CWM.

I looked at the script file and it had a blank line at the top before the words started. Is that supposed to be like that? I took that line out and re zipped the file and tried to flash it. It doesn't give me an error, but now it just says installation aborted. Any ideas?

[REQ] stock theme framework/juggernaut 5.0

Is it possible for somebody to create a completely stock framework (status bar, pulldown, etc) for juggernaut 5.0? I always thought the green battery really stood out when everything else was at an understated grey color. i wish i knew how to do this myself
but i turn to the experts on here for some love. hopefully i am not the only one who wants this and there is an actual demand for this type of theme
if anybody takes on this task, i thank them greatly

All you gotta do is search for empty zip file to flash theme. Then take out framework, twframework and systemUI from original Jug. Make folder called framework put both framework in there. another folder called app and put systemui. Then without extracting the zip file/use 7zip to put both this folder in it and then flash that zip. That's all!

Oh... When I meant stock, I meant stock out of the box..not stock juggernaut. Sorry for the misunderstanding. And by any chance, do you know where I can get a totally stock Tmobile sgs2 ROM? The roms I have seen on here are on multiupload.com and that site seems to be down

If you have Root explorer or something similar, you could probably copy and late the appropriate files in the correct spots and then reboot. Then you wouldn't need to sign or flash.

Are these the exact same zips you are trying to flash? if so they are not set up right for CWM to be able to apply them. Here is a CMW flash for you. Open it with 7 zip or an appropriate progam, i recomend 7zip its great. You will see the app folder and the framework folder. Place your modfied app.apks in the app folder and any modified framwork.res files in the framework folder. Dont try to mess with too much at first just framework.res twframework.res and systemui.apk make sure when you transfer images you are taking them from stock and adding them to Juggs files or you will get a force close. dont just try and take stock .res files or .apks and flash them.

hahahahahaha.... i wish i saw this sooner. i actually went ahead and pushed the stock images over the modified images i wanted into the systemui.apk within the juggernaut zip file and then reflashed it. that would have saved me loads of time configuring everything all over again. but thanks though... if this doesn't help me now, it should help me later. and it probably helps other people looking to do their own thing as well.

This is not working for me....Here is what I did and what it is doing.
First - I downloaded this with the link provided in the OP. Placed it on my SD card and rebooted into CWM recovery.
Second - Chose to wipe data / factory reset
Third - Wipe cache
Fourth - Installed .zip file.
====================================================================================
This is the error I am getting:
-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-9-20120711-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-9-20120711-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.
ANY IDEAS?

I keep getting installation aborted on three different downloads...

If anyone has issues flashing the rom , try this:
1. Extracted zip.
2. Went to ~\cm-9-20120711-NIGHTLY-d2att\META-INF\com\google\android
3. Opened updater-script with Notepad++
4. Deleted the first line in the script & saved
5. zipped the files I previously extracted (this included the script you changed).
6. put zip in sdcard
7. reboot in recovery
8. factory wipe
9. flash
Worked for me this way. A gentleman on the Android Police thread told me to do this.

It's probably not too wise to flash an .exe file to your phone. That's a windows executable file and this is Android.

Hey kingtnutt,
What are you trying to do with the .exe file? Do you need to extract it to pull files from it? More details would help.
If the .exe is a "self-extractor" it would probably work to change the extension to .zip and then extract it. It may not, though.

Ok, sounds like you have a self extractor. Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033

Sounds like you're trying to install a One-click update.
There are instructions for installing via Mobile Odin here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
See the 'Android Section'
sfhub and rwilco12 have done a bang up job of putting up detailed install instructions.
Take some time and really read throught the posts, watch Qbking77's videos and then re-read the posts AND follow ups. Or you could end up with a shiny fishing lure.
Why not use PC Odin? Especially if you're just starting out. Might save you loads of trouble.
Good luck

Unfortunately those one-clicks are compiled in such a way that they can't be extracted. You have two options to flash it, Odin or Mobile Odin.
Out of curiosity, why would you want to convert it to a ZIP?

K. The good news is that these one-clicks make flashing with a ZIP look almost impossible. You seriously plug your phone in and press the start button in the one-click and you're done (that's over-simplifying but you get the idea). Check out the instructions in the OP and it walks you right through it.

If you still want to use a zip Crawrj has the fh23 rom here

Bootanimation- Android Andy pees on Apple- My favorite

if using your computer to download , plug ur phone in to mount usb and moved the file to your sd card or your internal memory [ EX:Computer\SPH-L900\Phone or Computer\SPH-L900\Card ] (OR use a program like Android Commander to make things a little easier and put the file directly into the /system/media directory of your phone.... hint:the 'system' folder is located in the PARENT FOLDER of your SDCARD directory .... aka your ROOT directory)
if downloaded using your phone browser.... just use any root file manager (eg:I use ROM Toolbox Pro's Root file Browser,but there are dozens of other app like root explorer, ES File Explorer File Manager, ASTRO file Manager i think works too if u have the pro version but dont hold me to it) and use the Move to or the Copy To feature within any of those apps to move the file manually to your /system/media/ directory. You can just overwrite the one that is already there or just add a .bak or .EAD or .GTH to the end of the file name of the file you wanna backup thats already there BEFORE moving the new Android Peeing animation you downloaded in the first step.
IMPORTANT- DO NOT RENAME OR EXTRACT THE ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IN STEP 1... the file MUST BE NAMED bootanimation.zip
STEP 3- Using your root file managing joint appy proggy thingys Permissions editor (normally u just long click the file you wanna set permissions for and the edit permissions option will pop up somewhere) set the pemissions (or verify them) to this...
OWNER- READ WRITE
GROUP- READ
OTHERS- READ
or another way of saying this is RW-R--R--
Step 4 - SAVE or ACCEPT changes....
Step 5 - Reboot to make sure bootanimation is changed
Step 6 - Reboot again in a busy elevator or place where some iPhags can see over your shoulder.... and grin maliciously. :angel:
Step 7- :highfive: click the thanks button if u want or pm me if u have some bitcoins u managed to accumulate somehow and wanna donate em to me

BOSS!!!

i noticed the file was already labeled "bootanimation.zip" so i copied it as it as renaming the original. the only thing about my phone is that im running MacksROM All Star 2.5 rather than stock but i dont think that would make any difference.

hmm.... try redownloading the file and replace the file u just tried with the one u just downloaded and then rename as necessary. i dont think ma7 changed the location of where it fetches the boot ani.... but im still running LjC. but running macks rom 5.0 which is basically the same rom as the allstar rom you are using minus without the Ma7 goodies. but anyway try what i mentioned real quick and see if maybe it was just a corrupt or incomplete download or transfer to your device if u used the computer. meantime ill see whats involved in making it a flashable zip or if my feeble mind cant wrap itself around how that works... maybe someone here will post a flashable version for ya. :fingers-crossed:

Weird. I didn't have to change any of the permissions...I even checked before rebooting that the permissions were the same. And they were already. Glad you got it sorted out.

Dude thank you for posting this I love it! Haha so is it confirmed to be working on MA7? I can't wait to show all my crapple loving friends! =D
