Is there any way to make the gmail icon red and white? There was an old battery mod that did this for jfd, but I would like to do it for nero v4
Pull the Gmail.apk file from your phone, open it with 7zip and put the attached file into the \res\drawable-hdpi folder, close out 7zip, and push Gmail.apk back to the device.
You can also install gmail notifier. It gives you tons of options.

That's cool...can you also change the gtalk notification icon as well?
On the gmail one, if there a way to do it through root explorer?

I don't use root explorer, but if it allows you to copy apks from system folders from/to the phone, i don't see why it wouldn't work. Just use Root Explorer to put the Gmail.apk on your computer, put the icon in the file, and use root explorer to put it back in /system/app

Download root explorer. Download any roms. Put it on your sd card.
Using root explorer, click the Rom you downloaded. Go to system/app find email.apk extract it.
Now go back to extracted folder.
Should be in sd/extracted
Copy and back out to root of our sd card
On top it should say"/" on top right corner.
Go to system/app and paste it.
Reboot

i want to change the colors on a couple widgets.
if i took the .apk file from the /data/app/ and copied it to my computer, renamed it from .apk to .zip, opened it and edited/changed the .png files, saved it, rezipped it and named it back to .apk and put it back in /data/app/ folder and overwrote it would that work?

I tried to do just that with SystemUI.apk and had issues. I haven't tried with any other apps. I got around it by using 7zip. Within 7zip you can look in the apk and just drag and drop you're new pngs into the apk without actually extracting and re-zipping anything.
If your not familiar with 7zip. It's a free compression app just google it.
i've heard of 7zip, not sure if i've actually ever used it before though.
do you know is /data/app/ the right place to pull the .apk file from?
Yep, I think that's right the right place for apps that you've installed. System apps are in /system/app.

that will definitely not work. Go get 7zip... never never unzip an app. use 7zip to open the app and find your image folders. drag only those to the desktop.. or a new folder.. then edit and stick those images back into the app using 7zip.
I'm using my evo and my calendar app is from the kings shooter 3d and it's a great calendar app. When I sync'd the calendar app on my ics photon it only shows some of the things. Pretty much anything I manually put on my calendar isn't coming up. I have the basketball schedule, holidays, and other repeating events showing up, but nothing else. I would like to install the other calendar app so I pulled it off the rom and tried to install, but it wouldn't let it. Does anyone know how I can use the calendar app from my evo rom? Or correct the problem from my current ics calendar app? Thank you
Did you just trying installing the apk? Or did you move it into /system/app folder? If you move to that folder with Root Explorer set permissions and reboot it should work. Dont forget to rename the normal calendar to .apk.bak so if it doesn't work you can just rename it back to .apk and reboot and be back to normal.

I pulled the apk file from the rom and emailed it to myself so it downloaded and I tried to install but it wouldn't let me. Oh ok, I'll try your method. I'll have to read how to set permissions. I have a copy of root explorer and that wouldn't work either, but I have Astro and I was able to edit files with it too, but I would like to get my root explorer working also. Thanks wolf

I tried using a few file explorers even root explorer and none will let me change the name. Root explorer actually says cannot be changed because it is read only. I'm using CM7.2 now. How can I make the files read and writable?

Just open the original .apk in 7-Zip, find the files, delete them and then put your new ones in. The have to be exactly the same name. You don't need to decode the apk or resign it.
Some apks won't work like this but very few in the end so you should be okay.

when i did this the app don't install on my device..
The 7-zip method not always will work. I use that to edit cyanogenmod themes to best fit my phone, but sometimes I can't install the apk, neither through adb nor file manager

Try smali the whole apk , replace the pictures then compile it again, using Apk tool.
I'll do this on the go a the time as a matter of fact I did the tsfshell PCB blue theme with the traverse grapheme icons earlier...I do it by using root explorer extract the app and replace whatever you want as long as the file names are the same when done zip everything back up and rename from zip to app then move to system apps or data apps set proper permissions and reboot .....I do it from my cell hope this helps
