what u mean by "after a while"? bootanimation is not changing for no reason - must do something (flashed theme or smth).

Leedroid uses /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

try to search rom's thread to be shure.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lukogriffioen:
lol first time im using the kitchen and now it says ''updating kitchen'' :-)

When will it be back?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
u got lucky :)

be back shortly. ~10min.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lukogriffioen:
okay thanks!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] SmartAxMan:
Thanks for quick reply fido!

I didn't flash anything, all I did was accessing SD-Card and internal file-system by ES Explorer - but no write-operations...

I had this phenomenon already once (2 days ago) - after pulling battery, the "original" bootanimation, which I choose from kitchen, was back again. But this time, even pulling the battery doesn't bring it back.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
reflash bootanimation again. u can cook only bootanimation without moding framework.
[Desire Themes and Apps] SmartAxMan:
OK, I will try - funny thing was, that also the R2D2-boot-sound of LeeDrOiD was gone with the "new" bootanimation ;-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] lukogriffioen:
I tried several times and it keeps failing. I chose for 'Mod version: SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors' and only made custom battery icon and boot animation, skipped the rest. Why does it keep failing?

I successfully make the zip file in the kitchen for my Desire on LeeDroid 2.3c. I've used both the dropdown framework-res.apk and uploaded my own.

I can flash it fine from CWM - have 2.5.1.8 default, or 2.5.0.7 via ROM Manager. Either CWM versions finish the script successfully, but when the phone boots, no changes have taken place. What am I missing?

Increase upload limit?

The latest Perception 10 ROM for the Samsung Captivate (SGS) has a framework-res.apk that's 9.4 megs in size. I don't know why the latest version is bloated, but is there any way you could increase the upload limit to 9.5 or 10 megs?

I realize you're dealing with php limits, server load, etc. but if that slight increase is possible I would be soooo grateful!

Thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:

Sent from my pocket using pen
[Desire Themes and Apps] Trident:
I discovered another issue... I'm trying to add the circle battery mod after removing the Power Control Widgets from the notification bar- and I find that adding the circle battery adds the space where the PCW was back in & removing the space/PCW changes the battery back to stock.

Where do I [adb] pull the

framework-res.apk

file from in the modified ROM?
[Desire Themes and Apps] gpz1100:
Trident, look in /system/framework on the device itself. I didn't realize that the white space problem occurs after flashing the new battery icons in the other thread. Sorry.. a bit slow today.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dc41:
I was able to find a work around. There seems to be duplicate folders in the res folder... some are named *hdpi and some are named *hdpi-v4. They seem to be identical except for an icon for two.

I deleted the hdpi-4 folder from the archive and got an error from the kitchen. So, I deleted the hdpi folder cutting the file size by close to 3mb. The kitchen processed it just fine, it installed just fine, and the phone seems to be running with no problems.

HTH
[Desire Themes and Apps] Trident:
I know I sound like n00b, but I can't find that file in that folder.

I use EStrong File explorer and I can't find a SYSTEM folder.

I use the command

adb pull framework-res.apk system/framework

and it says a file of that name does not exist.

From OP

I finally found a way to copy/extract the framework-res file.

Tried it in the kitchen and got the same error. UOT-ZC-01-07-22-50-1.zip

But I now have the correct file... if someone could fix this for me, I'd be very grateful.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gpz1100:
I think ES has options to permit viewing/writing of the /system folder. Enable viewing of hidden files too.

Also, use absolute path's - precended by "/"

/system/framework/....

My android experience is all of 2 weeks at this point, but I have 20+ in dos & windows. Some little things do carry over.

I found out how to do it using ES, after I figured it out using a different explorer. Called Super Manager, if anyone is interested. Powerful and easy to use.

[Desire Themes and Apps] FoeKilla:
I've used the UOT Kitchen at least a dozen times over the last few months without any problems. I also suggest it to people who are looking for battery mods or who bork their phones up by applying a battery mod that changes something they didn't intend to change.

However, as of the last few days I can't seem to get it to go through.

I have an Evo and I use Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. The problems started for me on his last nightly beta and continue now that the rls 5 is final. I'm assuming something he's done is incompatible with the UOT Kitchen, but I don't know how to make sense of the error log. I'm hoping I can find a resolution here.

[update] just remembered that Myn recently made a change from Amend to Edify (or vice versa - he switched to the newer one). Could this be causing the issue?

Awesome stuff! I just cooked up a circle battery (no more battery widget!!) and some more colorful icons.

Very easy and quick... thanks a bunch.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
try to decompile, compile and sign your framework with Apk Manager. This may help.

updater version is no matter for kitchen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FoeKilla:
an addition to my post above:

I went back and looked at Myn's change log during the nightly betas and found this:

• Converted update-script to updater-script to support ClockWork Recovery 3.x

Ever since this change, I have been unable to use the UOT Kitchen. I suspect it is the culprit. If I understand things correctly, the updater-script is the way forward for Google and Android. Does this indicate that more ROMS will be unable to use your wonderful tool as they make this transition?

In case it's relevant, I'm using Amon Ra's 2.1.1 recovery.

[update] guess if I'd waited 2 minutes to post this or if I typed faster I might not feel so silly... :)

some strange UOT behaviour here with baadnwz DHD 1.7b...

I flashed a new framework with the framework-res.apk you provid - the 1.7b version.

first, thats not new, the bootanimation is not working.

"system/sd/customize_s/resource" as the default folder. is that correct?

second: notification status bar is not changeable at all.

third: the battery and other icon mods are working, but since flashing the last version any icon that appears (like sync, download, 3G,...) stays translucend in the top-bar. not a big deal, just confused me at the beginning.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
Actually, it is White Number :D

And you can use it with black or white background ^^

should be

data/sd/customize_s/resource

thanks for your politeness :(

just tried to figure out some problems in the kitchen. never said anything about the kitchen is not working at all. I love it and I use it a lot!

first: the bootanimation folder proposal for badnwz DHD 1.7b is wrong. I posted the correct path.

second: the hybrid charging animation results in strange icon behaviour. it is not only me, other people in ROM-thread had the same. I cooked UOT-ZC-01-07-02-34-1 yesterday and got those problems. I solved this today with UOT-ZC-01-08-15-34-1.

third: changing something in the notification status bar has no effect. background, footer,... everything is still from original-ROM. Same here: I am not the only one having this problem with UOT and DHD 1.7b.

If I always get reactions like this, I will not share my problems and solutions here next time. :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] preacher65:
Hi, firstly thanks for this great tool. I have donated. :) Secondly, just wanted to confirm whether the framework-res.apk downloaded from the kitchen is zipaligned or not. As far as I can tell it isn't, and that's not a problem - it's easy enough to do myself afterwards - but I wanted to check whether it's actually necessary.

[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
A lot of SHTF

most of you getting a lot SHTF.

took me some time to figure our problem.

so problem is not in the kitchen - its in others devs layziness.

in some framework-res.apk there is bad .9.png images,

in others - battery image is: stat_sys_battery_6.PNG

it should be in lowercase: stat_sys_battery_6.png

if you having SHTF, you can check:

1. rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip

2. unzip

3. check extension of stat_sys_battery_6.png in /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/

4. if extension is in upercase (PNG) - so u have bad framework-res.apk

now I'm fixing this, but you have to choose some battery style to cook.

if you choose only theme icons - u will get SHTF.

[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
Kitchen not changing status bar (for now). in custom battery form you just choose how icons will look like on black/white status bar. So if you have white status bar - you will still have white after cooking.

to have battery look ok on white bar - choose white bar, then numbers will be black.

G3 icons is for black status bar.

[Desire Themes and Apps] gpz1100:
mendozinas,

Just a small suggestion. Unless I copy/paste the download link from the initial cooking page, finding it again is difficult.

Perhaps somewhere in the creation process, the user can add some identifying information that will later be appended to the filename. Say a PO # (purchase order#) of sorts.

Or, maybe add the last 2 octets of the user's ip addr - w.x.y.z, so it would be something like y.z.UOT-ZC-01-08-aa-bb-c.zip.

I bet it would cut down in redundant cooking processes due to lost/forgotten filenames.

What do you think?
