UOT theming

---

As part of my guide, I'm writing up instructions on how to use the UOT Kitchen.

Anyway, I am but one man and I have real-world constraints on my time so if anyone else has successfully used it, can they please post here detailing which mods they used and how they manually installed the files - especially what permissions they needed to apply.

Thanks.

there you go with permissions for each of the files...

now the rest is trying... you wont brick you phone with the right permissions if you only use the kitchen.

I know that's the permissions required for framework-res.apk, I had kind of guessed it would be the same for SystemUI.apk.
It was more the other files the Kitchen spits out - like the fonts (that could be it, I'm not sure).


As for not bricking my phone, I know that - I've spent most of the day trying to make the Kitchen work and having to re-flash my handset to recover it.
So I'm not worried, it's more the hassle of having to check it all myself - especially when there are some of the mods I'm not personally interested in.

I too learned my lesson. You learn from mistakes and I had to either go on safe mode or use seus to fix my arc to factory settings. What I do now to avoid semi-brick.

* Create a folder in sd..i named it kitchen.
* Copy what ever you made in UOT KITCHEN in that kitchen folder
* With root explorer..copy the folder KITCHEN from SD to your ROOT
* Open the Kitchen set your permission for each files you need. sample systemui.apk
* Move the file to the correct folder and Yes to overwrite.
* You can delete that copied KITCHEN in the root.
* Last step reboot

That's how, I do it now.

Just to add
If your not sure what permission the file needs to be. You can always check the original file permission first, before you edit your themed file permission.

Choose font also when cooking in kitchen, and after extracting your "kitchen theme", you will get a folder "fonts".. Don't need to try root explorer. Download "Font Changer" from Market (It's free) & choose fonts you downloaded..

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind.

I need to over-haul my guide again - go away for a week and a load of new ways to root the Arc are invented
I'll try and flesh out the UOT section at the same time.

Boot Animation.

You don't need to upload any files from your phone to UOT for bootanimation changes.

Select the BA you want and have UOT cook it for you.

Get the zip file and open it..
go into /system/media
copy and paste the embeded sanim.zip somewhere on your PC, outside of the kitchen ZIP.
Rename it to bootanimation.zip
copy that to your SD card
use root explorer copy from SD card to system/media
change permissions to rw-r--r--

All system files/ apps should be rw-r--r--

he guys I want to confirm here that the UOT zip can be aplied trough the new CWM all works perfectly fine its not so much fun but a lot easier you know

Pull-down Animation

Do you have any idea how to get the pull-down animation to show?It's in the SystemUI.apk that i made,but does not show.
