They are most likely in system/apps and the name depends on your phone model, like if it is a Motorola it will be called BlurPhone.apk

FIrst how are you opening it? Second what image are you trying to change. The images for the dialer are scattered across 3 apks, com.htc.resources.apk and the dialer apk and phone.apk. There are 2 types of images. a normal png and a .9.png that controls the call button.

Update: Changed a couple of icons to make them clearer.
EDIT: New screen shots added. Fixed the folder structure issue.
So, I was getting tired of looking at the off-white icons in the Settings, and I like how some of the Droids (and possibly others) have colored icons in the Settings menu. I whipped this up quickly this afternoon and liked the way it turned out.
No known issues, but you still apply this at your own risk. I am not responsible if it breaks your phone, your home, or your back.

File structure from the unzip looks wrong. If you go back into metamorph and pick existing themes -> settingsiconmod and go down an extra folder, the XML file is there. Select that and apply.
I will fix the zip later tonight.

There was an extra subfolder that you had to go into to get to the theme control file (the xml). It caused an error in Metamorph (invalid theme control file) when you were unzipping it. It would still work, but you had to go back into Metamorph after it errored out and select it manually. I removed the extra subfolder so it should be in the right spot and Metamorph should not give the error.
I am going to be working on a Morph for the Dialer too soon. I am not a fan of the blue that Samsung chose for everything. Too pale. I am not sure what color(s) to go with yet, but I am going to play around a bit with it.

For messaging I presume? Use apk manager to extract the apk and replace the emoticon images with the ones of your choice. I use the ones from GO SMS, which are much better imo. I can provide a more detailed step by step if you'd like to do it.

Use the instructions from this post. I've also attached a zip of the emoticons I use (not flashable). Give it a try and report back. I'll do it if you have difficulty and we can see where you went wrong.
There are 17 images to replace in drawable-hdpi. There's also one (the "embarassed" emoticon) in the drawable folder; you have to replace this one as well. The images in my zip are appropriately named, so just drag and drop.
Good luck.
Its easy to do and use the ICS emoticons but they have to be replaced in the framework as well as mms.apk.

You need to use root explorer and move the Mms.apk to system/app
Make sure to backup your old one (rename it to something like mms.apk.old)
first and when you move the one with the black smileys it will ask if you want to overwrite.
Then reboot and you should be good to go.

thanks for the reply, I should have been more specific. I already have GO SMS Pro installed, its nice but could be better.
my Galaxy S II is rooted, I want to browse the directory on my phone where the SMS app is located and go there and actually replace the images there. that's how I do it on the iPhone, just make the bubbles the way I want them, rename the originals (.bak) respring and done.

all my efforts are failing but I'll keep at it.
for some reason, when I make the changes then change the extension from .zip back to .apk the app fails to install.
is there a solution for this? why does the installation fail when I change it back to .apk is there some other way I should put it back to .apk?
7zip
I would suggest trying 7zip as an alternate program for handling zip files. It can open/extract apk files without the of renaming it. Simply right click the file, &-zip-> open archive. Then you can drag and drop / replace image files. This prevent having to change the file extension to zip and back to apk.

I backed up then uninstalled by Titanium Backup, and used the installer without a hitch.
Running UnNamed 1.3.2 though, not sure if the newer versions may be the reason why its not working properly.
Cool. Must be the fingerprint with the new UnNamed.
And how do you find the voice accuracy? Is it better? Just curious...

If I say yes now its just a placebo effect in my head.
Have to do some testing with it for a few days and see if its noticeably different or the same.
Saw this in the UnNamed thread, might want to give it a try.

Tried installing the beta, tells me it's unavailable for devices that have swype preinstalled...

I guess that seems to be the way to do it. I'll give it a try over the weekend when I get a chance to mess around with my phone
EDIT
so, installed perfectly using instructions from post #5. I don't really know what's the difference between uninstalling via Titanium vs. adb removing, but it worked with the Titanium method, and not with adb.
Thanks for the tip on using titanium to backup/uninstall, works for rooted stock as well

I've been using it for about two days now and with the exception of an beta-ish incident I had with it (it stopped working after my first reboot if the phone and I had to reinstall it), I can confidently say that this update makes Swype much, much better. Swype always used to piss me off within the day for the simplest of reasons, but with all the new gestures, dictionary options and (finally) contextual typing, it's hard to put this one down. And it should be mentioned that I'm a huge keyboard junkie, if that exists. I have pro versions for most of the keyboards on the market and constantly switch between them because they generally all disappoint me in one way or another.
The voice recognition is naturally better now that the company has been acquired by Nuance, but it isn't quite up to the accuracy of choice dictation on the iPhone 4s, for whatever reason. Is it better than what it used to be on Swype/Android? Hell yes. In addition, this can do languages other than English, something I found particularly amazing.
All in all, I like it.

The speech recognition still sucks.

Actually just had a look at the new apk... it's completely different so I don't think it'd be possible to just transfer it over from the old one.
I can try and do it manually... we'll see how it turns out.
Good luck, after the holidays i'm going to read up on theming.

I just did a proof of concept, just to see if it works... It's really simple actually!!!!
I did orange and blue (Denver Broncos colors) if you guys want it, just install it like normal.
Here is how to do it:
You take that .apk file thats in the OP, make a few copies of it just incase...
Then you get 7zip, open it up with 7zip... copy all the files in "assets/keyboard" to a new folder on your computer.
The files you need to edit are preceded by "display0_" since we have wvga screens.
The way I did it was open it up in photoshop (the images, that is) and edit the file and save it.
The files I editted were:
background
caps
capsbutton
funcbutton
numbutton
selbutton
textbutton
AFTER EDITTING!!
This is where it gets tricky...
You open that original .apk with the 7zip proggy and you transfer all those images back into it, in the proper folder.
Now you need to sign it using apkmanager or whatever you may want. Open it up in apkmanager, and sign it (using the batch signing folder thing option choice thing).
DONE!
Oops guess my message by xda app didn't go through.
The theme did work perfectly, good job!
Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?

Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?

But I am going to try myself with the instructions of samvillian.
Just haven't had time, hopefully this weekend I can start practicing on theming.

I've been slowly trying to find everything for the tab ui. Some luck but not much. I've gotten as far as themeing the System UI apk but that's about it. I really like the IRONROM. I'm hoping to have a theme ready when it's updated to the latest build. If you'd @DUHAsianSKILLZ like to work on something together or help each other out.. pm me.
Right now I'm just messing around with design. Nothings set in stone.

Whoooooooop! I believe you have the T700 correct? Ive had no sucess with getting my stuff to work. Did you approch this with vrtheme or..? I can provide the files needed if you would like. Been busy with state testing lately. Glad to see you got it to work.
Ive been trying out with theming the framework res. But thats the thing I dont know Thats a perfect theme so far!
Yes. T700. I haven't used the vr system for the tab yet and my zips for the note/s4 don't work. I've had to resort to apk replacement with compiling. Framework still gives me some problems. But I'll definitely take what you got and please hit me up for anything I can help with.

What I did was base the theme off of discreet blue theme. He used vr themeing but had broken framework res stuff. I deleted that stuff so the systemui is only themed. I own the T800. Ive tried to theme the framework but was unsure on which file/picture name is which. Of course you seem to know what your doing. Basically, I just used the premade discreet bluetheme without the framework themed. And tryed to fix up the framework with no success. Well that was weeks ago when I abandoned on trying to do so.
But I love your theme so far. Anyway I can get that working on my SMT800?
It might be the same pngs and xmls between the t7 & t8. I'm out of the house but when I get back I'll upload the system ui and you can rip out the pngs. The only way I've been able to theme framework is by manually putting the pngs in using 7zip.

Tell me which pngs you changed and Ill see what I can do. Same procedure as putting the pngs in 7zip correct? (right clicking on apk, open 7zip, drag modified stuff to the 7zip, and thats it I assume?) thanks for your help!
Yep that's it. The downside is you can't change value folders without de/compiling but any pngs or .9s can be done that way. Most changes to the notification pull down are xmls which is fine for systemui. The only pngs are toggles and the bottom bar in sysUI. And most are in ..sw800dp [I think 800] folders. Menus and pop up menus are in framework ..800dp and drawable-xxhdpi.
Might need a q&a for themers. I thought I was late to the party but I'm not seeing a lot of themes.

Alright thanks for that. We only had 2 themers so far. Your the third It's been a while since I Decompiled. If you would like, here's the stock systemui and framework from iron from T800. Uploaded it just in case I mess up and for you to look if you want. https://mega.co.nz/#F!i0wCTapZ!RP83sWXTdksm4PqpxVQ8wA
When ever you have your apks uploaded, I'll take a look and see what's needed to be changed. If it doesn't seems to work for me then I guess I'll have to hand it to you. I'm not as great as you seem to know most of it. Thank you for the help! I'll give it a go tommrow
I posted a test and empty zip for us to get started.
