Hi, Im making a theme for adw launcher, and im making icons for all my apps to match the theme.
I followed this guide to make themes and everything went good until I got some erros compiling the apk in eclipse... but thats another question for another time.
In the time being, I edited a current theme, adding my icons, and resigning the apk just to test it, but the thing is, there are, until now, 2 icons which dont change at all.
I followed the guide and retrieved the names correctly, one of those apps its on the droid icon database and even with that name, the icon dont change.
Anyone with experience with ADW and the tools, could help me to determine the correct names for the apps?
The apps are these two:
Perfect Viewer
osu!droid
Thanks in advance.
BTW im using a rom based in 2.3.6, maybe the names change between version.

Having just moved from an iPhone im still learning here so bear with me. It seems as installing custom themes and/or customizing app icons is not as easy as installing winterboard and throwing a theme up. I'm a big buuf/mattahan fan and I've had that theme on my iphone since my 2G. After doing some research it seems that there are a couple of ways to change an app icon. First I could open up the .apk and insert the new icon, then resign the package and put it back on the phone. Second there seems to be an app called metamorph which is similar to winterbord but only works on certain phones.
Am I missing some easier way? I'm willing to spend some time on a package that I could share with others if I knew how.
Thanks

Metamorph does work on the vibrant if you were wondering
Some theme makers also make update.zip's that you can flash from recovery, but most prefer metamorph because its more universal.
also if you use a replacement launcher like ADW launcher which is on the market, then you can download themes from the market and simply choose them from the launchers menu.
In fact I beleive ADW launcher has a buuf theme.
theres also a keyboard app on the market called better keyboard that has a buuf theme (better keyboard is a paid app though)
Building and theming a rom, Wondering a few things, And searching for things this deep doesn't prove too useful very often, And ya just gotta ask. I'm trying to get a first impression wow factor with my rom. Make it stand out.
I've themed quite a few icons, And i'd like to be able to have select icons, Specificly the one's themed together be in their place in the dock upon a fresh flash
I'd also like to edit the default place to be the 4x1 instead of 4x2, So it'll be something different from first look. Please help me guys!
Hello,
I am fairy new to android scene and I really enjoyed personalizing my jail broken iPhone. I switched to android cause of the ability to personalize it however I am a little confused I am looking for a way to change some text strings. For instance on the iPhone I was able to change the message that appeared when you entered the wrong passcode. Same as the power off message saying "never" instead. I would like to know how to do this as well as change the icons on the phone I due know how to do this on the iPhone but am really lost on android any help would be great sorry that I don't know a lot of the correct terms.
Well I'm not particularly sure how to change the text on the things you described because I believe you would have to change the framework of the ROM...
As for theme... That's easy, you just need to install an alternative launcher as golauncher, nova or apex... These ha e separate theme packs you can download which will theme the icons and give you ability to change them yourself... But the icons packs won't work with stock launcher if that's what you are using
I use go launcher and what I would like to do is make my own compete theme is there software out there that I could use and I would like to learn how to possible write or understand the code but don't know where to start any suggestions would be great thanks again for the reply
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
Go to golauncher website... I believe they have certain tools and guides available for you to make your own theme
thanks

Hi,
I have just recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1 and it all went smoothly i.e. restoring backups etc. But there is one frustrating issue I have is that I didn't back up the theme I was using for my icons and I cannot for the life of me remember what the theme was called. I have trawled through Google for the last few days trying to find it again but have had no luck and haven't been happy with any of the other icon sets I have tried.
My question is, can anyone identify the icon set or theme that I had previously? I have attached a screenshot I took before the upgrade (I couldn't display an image in the post as I am a new user).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

this is go launcher, and are you sure you are asking theme not launcher?
if yes just install go launcher and search themes there may be you can get it

I am using go launcher and the theme might be a go launcher theme but I have browsed through their themes as well and cannot find these icons there either.
I'd really like to make a unique Icon Pack, but downloading the original icons to theme is a pain! As of now, I'm simply going to the app page in google play and saving the icons. Is there a zip with a lot of the original icons (preferably 300x300) already out there? If not, is anyone willing to collect a bunch of the icons from apps they typically use and upload it here? I'd like to cover lots of icons so the more I get the better it will be. And it will be free!
Edit: In case this does become something, here is a folder with all the default icons I currently have saved. Hopefully it will save someone the trouble of finding it all over again.
