Dais, zip up the files and send them to me, I'll see if I can make a flashable zip from them, ok?

 

[Lordvincent 90]

This is why it's not working

You got an ETA on Grape Kew-Laid??

But to make it flashable, use the apkinstaller.zip (uot kitchen edits framework-rez.apk and systemui.apk)
You will need to create a "framework" folder inside system. systemui.apk goes into app and framework in framework

 

[Slayer72]

Dais I can do it up for ya if you want...

EDIT: Very funny LordVincent...

Basically all you have to do is right click on the .apk file and click open with 7zip if that's what you use, I use WinRAR and it let's me open apk files with the right click open with dialog...

Matter of fact, that's how I swapped out app drawer icons in Xperia Home.apk earlier, then I drag and dropped Xperia Home.apk into the system/app folder inside of ApkInstaller.zip and flashed it in CWM and it worked a treat!!

 

[Lordvincent 90]

Unzip the uot zip, then open the apk as an archive, if that fails try it as a zip

 

[Slayer72]

Ok Dais, all I did was move the folders into the system directory instead of being in the main directory, if I'm not mistaken by comparing to another theme zip I have, the only thing that's supposed to be in the main directory is Meta-info folder and the System folder, not your fault though, probably the way UOT Kitchen compiled it, but it did give me a problem with Settings.zip in the Settings folder, said it was corrupted, what is that file for, never seen a settings.zip like that in any other theme zip...


GrapeApe.zip

Done that... These are all things that first came to mind. nononono, none work??? did I ruin my 7z software... somewhere...??? F_M_L

Try WinRAR bro, it'll probably work better for ya...

Running a try right as Im typing thank you slayer, I did flash it to MY phone but at first only the boot anmi. took. so I pushed them in through ADB to see how they work. It took a VERY long time...

settings was like this from the UOT... idk why

 

[Slayer72]

GrapeApe is a SUCCESS!!! I just flashed the zip I posted back a few minutes ago and it took NO PROBLEM!!

Koo but I cant update the script later... Hang on I am going to switch out the settings.apk with a copy. Cross fingers!

Ok, np, I'm standing by if you need help bro, if you need to you can send me the settings.apk file and I can put it in for ya, np at all, let's get this bad boy goin'!!

Btw, is the text in Settings menu supposed to be a purple color?? and is the dock icons supposed to be purple as well?? Just asking because they're still blue from when I had BlueME1.2 in there...

EDIT: Now that I think about it, helping you with yours I may have found out how to fix mine now!! lmao!!

EDIT 2: I fixed your settings file in the settings folder, after taking a look at the settings file in my UOT theme zip, it appears that the extension had to be .uot, in other words I renamed it from settings.zip to settings.uot, and after doing so I can confirm that it can be opened with Notepad++ for editing it correctly...

Nah your all good bro, I know what I did. I accidentally switched it out with another. I switched back and ran all looks good but my launcher: icons and certain other's. I am not at home right now but will update thread soon.

Edit: I said I needed to recompile some .pngs

Well maybe you could shed some light on how to do that, I'm still learning a lot about this theming crap, so I'd like to eventually get to where I can make my own themes...

What do you need to know? And I didn't mean you couldn't help at all. Any advice or questions are welcomed. If you can, take your time read everything, and I never used apktool... I tried but to no avail. J6remy, Guspeed, and wetbiker all helped me.. well wet just gave me the names to ask. But all I want is to go to bed. Ill hit this shit up later. Peace.
