Unfortunately I think you might have to install a different launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro to get this functionality. Doesn't seem to be possible with the stock launcher included in Cog.
You can replace the corresponding apps image with the one you want. I attached the icons for you. These are the steps I use, its pretty easy. Back up the contacts and mms apk before you do anything. They are located in the system/app folder. You will need root explorer or something similar with root access.
1) Maker a copy of the mms and contacts apk and transfer it to your computer
2) Use winzip or 7zip and decompile the app
3) Navigate to to the "res" folder and then to "drawable-hdpi"
4) Copy and paste or drop the new icon and copy over the old one.
5) Exit out of winzip or 7zip and transfer the apk with the new icon back to your phone's system/app folder and copy over the old one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I stand corrected!
Thanks KayvinM

I have a couple GB themed MMS applications in my thread you can try too. There's a link in my signature. If you flash my theme you'll have all the gray GB notifications in the status bar, that's what you're going for right?

Yup, this is the best way to do it. Gut your .apk file, edit the image in res folder, resign .apk, and reinstall.

I tried to mod Phone.apk file (from GingerDX v12)
I tried to use APK manager.. But you see, I'm noooooob After several steps I got new Phone.apk file and tried to put it into the phone but it did not work.
I tried to unzip the Phone.apk file, replaced the .png file, zip it into Phone.apk, put it back into ROM and flashed the ROM
well I got the old icon like this
the only changed thing is [VOICEMAIL] dialer 2.3.5 in Titanium backup
can someone help me with this? I just want to replace the icon
my device x10 mini pro - GingerDX v12

well, I just rename Phone.apk to Phone.zip, then replace ic_launcher_phone.png and rename .zip file back to Phone.apk, put it into extracted ROM then compress and flash to device
First of all, please, don't post questions to development section, use Q&A section.
Did you sign the apk?

I signed the apk using APK manager
think I'll go on myself!!!
thank you anyway
Did you replace ALL copies of that icon? Cause if I remember correctly, there is also a drawable-ldpi or something like that. And resigning it / decompiling it using apkmanager is unnesscary. Just open the apk with 7-zip and replace the icon files.

Download Android Market 3.3.12 here
If normal installation didn't work out well for you, use the method below.
Procedure to install via Root Explorer Method
1. Download the apk file from the above link to your sd card.
2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.
4. Now search for Vending.apk & rename it to Vending.apk1
5. Copy the file you just downloded to /system/app & rename it to Vending.apk
6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....
Many thanks!! This version works great! It's nice to have my phone wait until I get home to my wi-fi for updates!
I seem to not understand how to install this. Its not an apk so I tried flashing it through CWR but that fails with a install aborted message. I've installed hundred of apps before but not sure if I got a bad download or if this needs a more advanced approach. Am I just suppose to copy/replace the files within the zip with Root Explorer?
Thanks

You will have to push it to system app using Root Explorer. First you will have to rename the existing Vending.apk to Vending_1.apk or Vending.bak. Then rename the new Market app to Vending.apk. Then reboot.

Howdy Lter's I've got a little treat for everyone.
Okay so this is pretty simple
what you need
archive manager [optional] (if you dont feel like recompiling apks via apkmanager etc (wont cover this here)
attached is a zip file with the images needed to pull of this modification.
so take the rom you want this mod on and extract framework-res.apk
place it in a folder, for things like this I usually put them on the desktop. so we'll name the folder senseframework
now make another folder, or download the attachment and extract
so now we have two folders senseframework and v4lock
open both folders side by side
here's the (not hard) but annoying part
in the sense framework folder after decompiling or extracting the apk navigate to res drawable hdmi xhdmi etc find the holo (white) lockscreen components, do note the files with in the zip may not exactly match in sense but it is easy enough to spot what is what, I search in explorer for lock and all the images needed to pull this off apear I believe. there may be the odd mms.png but when it's all in front t of you it's simple to spot. so now the renaming begins.{!DO NOT RENAME ANYTHING IN THE SENSE FRAMEWORKFOLDER OR AOSP!} the only renaming takes place in the miuilock folder. so yea you rename the miui images e.g. lock_phone.png in miui folder will be renamed to ic_phone_lock.png once youre done renaming the images in the miui folder you can then select all files in the folder and paste into the sense or aosp folder or drag and drop into the apk archive once thats all done the mod is basically done
I have not yet figured out the proper smali/xml edits need in ics to make some of the graphics found in the lockscreen on miui e.g. orange highlight etc
this is a little rough at the moment ill get around to posting screenshots soon
but basically you get the lock of miuiV4 on Aosp and Sense, for sense youll need to remove the htc lockscreen parts.
here are before and after shots

Thanks man, very cool mod and nice tutorial as well

Awesome man. I have a special patch that may make this guide unnecessary though. It pushes images into compiled apks sort of like the villain Rom theme system, which unfortunately does not work on sense 4.1. Hit me up on gtalk if you want it...

yes.
I uploaded HTC backup apk for anyone who may want or need it. For whatever reason my stock att rom didn't have it installed from att. Not sure why and the even bigger issue was when I searched the playstore it wouldn't show HTC backup, google search turned up nothing either... Extracted from viper/international rom
Install in system/app fix permissions
If that doesn't work may need to create a folder called HTCbackup in system/app then install the apk in the folder make sure the folder permission matches all other system/app folders permissions

Thank you so much for this post , I been looking for this.
Can I ask you for the stock caller ID app , and the stock build.pro
I also wonder , why the VVM Only works with the stock, or I'm pretty sure , there has to be one more step other than copying, pasting and changing permission. Don't you think
I'd really appreciate the apk , and build.pro
Thanks
