Root [Boost Mobile] so i want to theme my own rom...

[vitokes]

scary i know. im wanting to make my own theme for my warp. im trying to make it simple first and see if it will work for me. then maybe ill think about releasing it to the public. i just dont want to be responsible for breaking someones phone. i dont care about mine.


so pretty much what im doing here is asking how do i start this? im already on the online kitchen but what rom can i use? can i just use one of the stock bo8/c roms or what? any help is more than appreciated

Just take the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk from your current rom and up load them to the kitchen

 

[vitokes]

so i can just do this with one of the stock bo8c roms? take it from there and then upload it and reflash the new rom

Yes that will work. UOT will only take you so far.. use programs like apk manager, photoshop, ninjamorph, and notepad++ for everything else

all of this will be a first for me hannah. so im gonna give the uot a try first and see if i get it right. i still have no clue what im doing but im diving in haha cant swim if i dont try, i guess my thing is finding the files first lol

Yes you can do it with the stock b08c but if you are creating a from I would recommend. Going to Mrbobos noob from and go to his 3post . There you will find a stock deodexed base you can use along with addons and such.
Mholloway has a great guide on theming signal bars since uot doesn't do it correctly. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me

Team Help lol

 

[vitokes]

ill let you guys know how im going! at first im gonna try and get a stock bo8c running with the theme i do and then from there ill think about actually making it a rom. ill be most likely asking for a lot of help! lol but if you guys have any ideas then pm me some help. maybe simple things i can do to just make it more badass! i do want to make something original i can give back to all the warpers here. even if i have to go from step 1. let me know everyone!

 

[vitokes]

well i tried no luck

 

[Deleted User]

Lol, what's up?

 

[vitokes]

idk what happened actually. i themed it out and i got it done and then i got the .zip from uot and it didnt work. idk why. it installed and everything but it just didnt change. i did see a lot of options in the end there that i didnt touch because i though i only needed the framework and systemui.but im still not to sure.

 

[Deleted User]

Did you change it to edify scripting? And set up the boot animation to cyanogen? /system/media

 

[vitokes]

no i didnt. but im guessing i needed that?

 

[Deleted User]

Yes sir

 

[MrBobo]

one other tip, hopefully you saw this but in uot you can download your settings so if you need to redo it you don't have to manually remember everything you did last time.

 

[vitokes]

i did see the download settings thing but i was to much in a rush to even do it! i was like hell yeah this will look so sick but it didnt even work so i was like damn lol

and also on edify scripting do i change that to the amend or do i leave it at edify and change it to anything else? by default its MTD. and the other options are EMMC, Galaxy, and Optimus.

Team Help lol

There should be a team help XD

Theming is a LOT of work. Warp Shark never got finished, because I couldn't theme the text message app fully, and I got frustrated ~_~;; Though I did change the timestamp to white! Then...the background was also white...and so was the rest of the text....SO! that being said. Oops.

 

[vitokes]

well i dont have trouble with doing the themes i can do with just uot but the problem im having is making the theme actually apply to any rom. sometimes it wont give me and error or update aborted message. itll just "install" and then nothing happens. so i dont know what im doing wrong lol

 

[Prinny]

Make sure the theme you're trying to flash is the right one. Example: if you have framework and systemUI from stock b08 make sure to flash it to that Rom only.
