Mini Pro : System/Stock Apps Icon Change - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello everyone, i have a question i want to ask..
i did search here on this forum, google and other forums for any guide or help on how to change icons inside .apk files, i have found many tuts/guides on the net, but they are for other phones such as Htc or Motorola droid, but Android is Android, i gave it a try, . it does only work on my HTC Tattoo, and not on my x10 mini pro.
is it because the icon size must be 48x48 ? since it does have smaller screen than the htc tattoo?? or does it simply have another way to do this because of any limitations from sony's side `?

You can change all the .png images inside system apk's, there's no magic here.
Images should be obviously scaled down. If you are just willing to replace original images with some of your taste, make sure the donor is also QVGA i.e. HTC Tattoo for example.
You don't need to resign files, just replace gfx files and move them back replacing the original ones. If you are moving files from windows-formatted SD card, repair permissions after putting files in place, i.e. chmod 755 /system/app/* should fix them for you.

Is that possible to get the buttons graphical files tu use them in my app?
I searched everywhere on the SD card / Phone memory but cannot finf that.

Download the package from here and unzip it to a directory.
http://www.4shared.com/file/141678208/4d31faa3/Skinning_Kit.html
It contains all the Graphics files.
It was from another thread by Ratcom about skinning the ui.
Hopefully it should contain all the GFX you need.
As for copyright and such i've no idea....

Changing Key's/layout of original HTC Keyboard

Hey guys,
i like the original htc keyboard, so i dont wanna use fingerkeyboard or anything else.
but i'm just wondering if its possible to change some keys..for example those smiley keys..to assign them with another smiley...
thanks in advance,
DN41
it is possible, one nice attempt by boogiecornejo here,
basically it's the matter of finding and editing few xml files in Windows folder (look for 0C09.xml, 0D09.xml and similar), more details in the thread above,
besides that you can try finding threads on lithuanian and bulgarian keybords here - I remeber seeing some info there as well
thanks for that mate, i'll try to manage that

[Q] Few questions about making flashable icon packs

hi
My device is Samsung Galaxy Y.
Already i am trying to make my flashable icon pack. I use guide mrallyluz (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35308133#post35308133). I have icons, custom icon pack, updater script, but i don't know how can i add more icons. I mean, for example, in folder unpack i have folders browser.apk, settings.apk, calendar.apk with custom icons inside these folders, and i want to add more icons to change. So, should i take names apps from system/app and make folder with this name inside res/drawable-ldpi?
Where can i find icon files? With RootExplorer i searched everywhere and no results... :3
I know that there are a lot of icon packs, but i want to learn something new and just make my phone prettier :]
Just i want to create more folders in flashicon.zip/unpack because i want to change icons of all apps in my phone, but i am a little noob (for now ^^).
I hope that you understand me
Y u have created 2 threads for same question?
