If I was to change the icon of an app manually, would the app icon change back upon update of said app or do only the files that are newer get changed in the app? Hence technically the app icon, once changed will remain that way permanently?
Also, is there an easier way than using an apk editing tool to edit the app icons?

So basically you ressurected a dead thread because you don't pay attention to all these flashable mod zips or ask the devs behind the mods. Ppl edit the apks, repack the apks, and flash it to their device via cwm, and see the change that they made.
Download from source and edit prior to packing the apk?

just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...
Thanks In advance!
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.

or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

Dear all
Is there a way to change stock app icon? I would like to change the icons for Phone, Contact, Messaging and etc
I've been browsing xda looking for it but cant found anything related to this.
If its already stated somewhere, can you guys post the link ?
I'm currently using CheckROM V4 with speedmod's kernel.
Thanks
You can change icons decompiling, changing and recompiling the app itself, but I don't know if theres an easy way for this.
Search for apk manager, it's the easiest way I have found to decompile and recompile apks.

Using Rom Toolbox with the galaxy s2 my choices of icons are limited. Because of that, I want to know if anyone has figured out how to replace the 5 Signal bar icon and ( rom toolbox only has 4 bars) the sound icon with a slash, the H+ icon, 3g icon and Edge icon. Even though rom toolbox has a 3g one it doesn't replace the default one. Also, anyways to get a differnt signal bar color?

For the signal bar u can go onto uot kitchen and mess with it. U can also get apk tool and decompile systemUI.apk, and go into drawable-hdpi and the icons will be there, and u can edit them using a photo editor like gimp.

The network icons start with - stat_sys_data
The signal strength bars start with - stat_sys_signal
Thanks, but uot kitchen confuses me too much any alternative?

Look at the how-to section. You'll have to spend time navigating, learning the site, and how to use it. UOT kitchen is as easy as it's going to get. It's really simple once you get a feel for it. Otherwise, you can replace the icons manually. Again, seemingly much at first, but really simple after some time. In my signature, I have linked a post I made about making these changes. At first glance, you might want to run away, but it gives STEP BY STEP instructions.
K, I will. Also does anyone have the default at&t gs2 status bar icons? I backedup my statusbar when it was modded by accident

Did everthing and did not get the stock vibrate icon or wifi signal back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
vibrate icon as well as the wifi signal are located in systemUI.apk not framework-res.apk, so changing the framework-res file will not fix your problem
Where can I locate the system.apk?

Was curious if anyone had a modded mms.apk that allows for the split sms, emoji, and still has the picture preview when typing in a contact name.
Try this transparent one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29570059
That I do! Ill try to upload it for you when i get home. But, the Inverted Apps thread in Android Development has a modded and themed blackncyan mms.apk that has the option for split messaging as well as many other options. If you wanted just that apk it would just be a matter of pullin it out of the zip and pushing it to system/app, changing the permissions and rebooting afterwards of course.
That transparent one is exactly what I was looking for thanks man... couldn't find the one you were talking about in android development but maybe its cuz I'm looking through the app or I just suck lol

Here you are. This is just the one from 4.0.3 before they removed the split sms option.

Not at all!
Does anybody know how to edit the Setting for my phone to have a black background and whit text, im getting tired of this ugly white background
Can you be more specific? I see in your thread title you say settings.apk. Are you saying you want a black background and white text just in the settings? What ROM, if any, are you using? If you are using a custom ROM like CM7, I believe its made that way by default. Its been a while since I have used it. I think even Eclipse is black but I'm not 100% sure. So I am guessing you must be on stock Gingerbread. Which means the only way to really do it is to install a custom ROM.

yeah im just on the stock rom, and i want to change the settings in the actual settings app to have a black background and white text. Any ideas on how to do this?? any help is appreciated
Truth be told, trying to decompile and then edit an apk file is more painful than pulling teeth. Like js said above, you'll want to flash a custom ROM to gain real customization. There's plenty here that are awesome.

alrighty, thanks for the help... but one more question, which .png file is the actual status bar in the framework-res.apk file?
Well you could either open every png file until you find the one you're looking for. But the only way to know for certain (our so I believe) would be to have access to the actual xml file within the apk that references that png resource.
The only downside is that if the apk was obfuscated when it was compiled (and most are) you probably won't have access to that xml.
This comes from my dabbling in android app development. However, some greater, smarter person than myself may have a different answer.
