Root UoT Kitchen, a quick Tutorial (pic heavy)

[brotherswing]

Well I was in the Kitchen recently and constructed a pretty nice theme... picked it up, put it on the SD, and off to recovery I went! It aborted the installation, so apparently I did something wrong.
And now I'm inspired to go back and try again.

Did it give an error message?

We're working on getting a tutorial for CM9 themes together at DHoT. I'll announce it here when it's ready.

nice lookin forward to that.

 

[frostyon420]

Yup.

What did that error message say mystery error lol

 

[Encerspay]

Lol I honestly don't remember... all I remember is I was in recovery trying to flash the zip and it "aborted installation" because of something "bad..." Bad Download? Bad File?
I don't remember, lol. ^_^
But now I'm trying to find a theme reverter at the moment....

 

[frostyon420]

What's a theme reverter.....I didn't know a such thing existed. What theme r u trying to revert to.

 

[Encerspay]

I'm just trying to get BACKside 0502 back to no theme... without reflashing it.
If that's possible.

 

[frostyon420]

Did u make a backup before flashing

 

[Encerspay]

Yes but having to restore it is a pain...
And I've seen Theme Reverters on other forums, I just don't know if they'll work with 0502.

I found it here. But like I said, I just don't know if it'll work with 0502.

 

[frostyon420]

I would assume so. How about making backup before using it and posting the results.

 

[brotherswing]

NO! Theme reverters need to be cooked for the specific rom! If you can wait till tomorrow, I'll cook one up for you. You can easily make one yourself in the kitchen. Just upload the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for your rom, and uncheck every mod. The summary screen should be all white except for the file upload bar, which should be green. Then cook and flash like any other theme. This method is universal, but the theme reverter is not. Make sense?

 

[frostyon420]

Makes total sense
