Root ICS Elite [Theme] For Harmonia

It worked! How did you get it to work because I'm trying to make my own theme and it just bootloops.

use uot kitchen,download finished zip,edit the gfx you want to use,open zip in winrar(don't extract just open to folder you want your gfx in,drop in your gfx set to store,it'll ask if you want to update zip,pick yes. then close. that is it. thank you for confirming theme works,I'll update it more later.
 
Curtis, how did you add the notification tray toggles? I know there are apps for that, but did you add them from scratch?
 
posting an update in a second to fix the drop down transparencies that were left unedited. also updating system icons (and lockscreen..hopefully..tough doing it and cant test to see lol) . few other things.
 
For a second there I read the title and thought ICS was ported to the Elite.

It's just a theme... :(

Still, it's cool that you guys are making all this progress.
 
yeah wish it were full elite lol. but no,only a theme. and one in progress of being created as its updated by a guy who cant even test it because hes on another phone lol..either way ill have it smokin hot before to long.
 
It will definitely work on Harmonia, Aeneas and stock deodex, at least for the time being. It might possibly work on stock odex and stock phones, but I can't be positive.


Good work. :)
You may want to put [THEME] in the title.
 
Graphics look good using this with a stock rom, still odexed. I think the scrollbars are broken though. This theme's scrollbars are so thin that I can't grab them to scroll. I lol'd at the updater-script a bit
Code: 
ui_print("Applying UOT framework"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system"); 
delete("/system/framework/framework-res.apk"); 
package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/framework"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system"); 
delete("/system/app/SystemUI.apk"); 
package_extract_dir("app", "/system/app"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system"); 
ui_print("Applying UOT fonts"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system"); 
package_extract_dir("fonts", "/system/fonts"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system"); 
ui_print("Applying UOT bootanimation"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system"); 
package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

8/10 - Would bang
 
@giantpune : updater script is like Klingon to me lol. that's all out kitchen stuff. will see if I can fix scrollbars.


@Leslie : added theme to title.
 
and just from experimenting,you can up the resolution of your theme images by at least one factor and they still work fine. meaning if your image is 32x32 you can up it to 64x64 without any oddities, etc and gain better looking ui in general. not exactly hdpi,etc but close enough. I pushed it on the drop down BG by several factors without an error.
 
Will report back when I get this installed, aka when it works because Curtis did a great job on this :D

EDIT: It works, thanks alot man!

ok heres as brief and detailed a guide as possible.


1. first build a theme on uot kitchen : http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and add your colors,icons,transparencies,etc.. at the end you will select to upload your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk so uot kitchen can build your base theme so upload those two files from your device.

2. If you have any edited graphics that you have been working on that go into framework-res.apk and systemui.apk you can add them to the finished zip theme by opening the theme zip with Winrar. Do not extract anything,use winrar to navigate to the two files above..click on them within winrar and navigate in their respective folders..drag/drop in any edited graphics you have to their respective folders in each of these two files. Winrar will ask how you want to add them,pick store method. And now close out that winrar box.

3. Winrar will ask you if you want to update the archive. Pick yes and allow it.

4. Now that you have just finished editing your uot kitchen theme,flash it to your phone using clockwork mod. be sure to back up your current system in case anything went wrong editing your theme.







thats it pretty much.
 
I'd add that if you add in your own images after UOT creates the theme, make sure not to replace the NinePatch PNG images (*.9.png) simply using WinRAR. That will likely cause you problems. If you would like to replace those, you need to decompile the APK yourself using some other tools, make sure the replacement images are valid NinePatch images and recompile the APK.
 
i just copied over them using winrar but i did use superpng for photoshop which compiles properly formatted .9 pngs.(also of note : my trick was to open the original .9 and simply layer over it and then lower the transparency of the base layer to zero then merge the two. it effectively cancels out the base layer leaving your edited layer while retaining the original png info for the most part) worked for me. but you will get an error if you do not create the png properly in your photo editor.

Sure that should work. The problem is that if you don't decompile the APK to begin with, and simply extract the NinePatch PNGs, the extracted PNGs will be missing the 1px border which specifies the regions.
