[Q] How to create icon packs ? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if there is a thread somewhere answering my question, but I just couldn't find it. So my question is obvious: how can I creat an icon pack, when I already have the icons prepared, so that I can use it with LauncherPro ot ADW ?

You pack them in an rar/zip file! If you want your icons to be the default ones, you would have to make your own ROM I believe.

That sounds waaaay too simple .. ? How do I name the icon files, so that LP/ADW recognizes them as the right icons for a given app/game ? I read that they should be called smth like ic_appname_smth i forgot, but I'm not sure if it was about creating exactly icon packs.

You wouldn't have to. You can extract the APKs to your PC, then change the icons in the APK files.
It can also be done in another way, but I forgot about that...

but why in dev section???
it's located in system/app, it's called phone.apk, open it and go to res/..., there you'll find what you search
Opps, I was sure I was posting on the themes section, sorry =( !
But after extracting the phone apk, how do I bake it into a new apk?

i always do it this way, open with 7zip or winrar, then res/drawale-hdpi and i pull the drawable-hdpi out into any folder, replace the images i want to change, when im ready i go back to the opened winrar or 7zip then delete the current drawable-hdpi and put my edited one in there (where the old one was before), thats it, worked for me most times
wrong section my friend. be careful next time!
Thank you, will test it later.
Can't find what I want to change: The white thing just under the numbers you have entered, sepparating the number line to the dialer. Thing is I wanna remove it =/

theme is base on
- system/framework/framework-res.apk
- system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
- system/app/SystemUI.apk
- system/app/Home.apk
basic , You can change all *.png to your style , open & extract apk using winRAR and replace old file using winRAR again.
- save change edited apk
- copy new edited apk to internal memory (/xxx /yyy /root) , change file permission (rw-r--r--) , move file to overwrite old apk target
-always change files permission! before paste & overwrite!! (if not , bootloop!!)
- about Home.apk is Xperia main launcher , before you overwrite apk you must change default launcher to 3rd party launcher (if not , may be bootloop!!)
EDIT:
Delete please, other guy was faster

It depends if ur using ics. If its ice then u need to mod SystemUI.apk from system/app but if its not then u need to mod framework-res.apk in system/framework. I suggest looking up a tut for the Modding because it is a long process

If you just want to replace icons with others, all you need do is use 7zip or similar to open the apk file and literally just swap the existing icons with some new ones.
If you want to add icons, or change how they're displayed, then you're looking at decompiling.
Need help !
Can I jus replace the contacts.apk , phone.apk and get a new look or can I jus replace the PNG's on those APK's ?
Or , should I have to deal wit' the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk ?
Also , is there any way that I can extract the icons from an icon pack ??

If u just want to change icons of any app, then just extract the app with zarchive or root explorar or any other archiving tool... Then go to the extracted app folder. Then go to res/drawable. in this folder you will find icon.png . just replace it with ur desired icon... then zip the folder and rename the zip as apk... You are done...
If u are in pc just open the apk with winrar then replace the icon with winrar.. That's it...
