Okay, so I'm a total noob (brand new to Android, as of 3 days ago)... Please forgive me if this is a dumb question -- though I have searched high and low for an answer to no avail.
I'm running the Desensed 1.7 ROM on the Flyer and loving it!! (massive kudos to Gumby for this rom!) Nonetheless, I'm trying to edit the browser apk file and change the find within this page menu function within the included default android browser, wich is literally labeled "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" to something like "Find." However, searching through language pack xml files within the values folders yields no luck -- I can find labels for every function other than the find function. Is this label being pulled within the os from a different location? Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks!
Nevermind -- figured out how to change it!! The change needed to take place within the actual language pack (within the framework-res folder)... I'm probably the only one that was bothered by it... Ha!!

Hello everyone,
I can see many custom icon sets out here, but after some downloads, I realised I would like to create my own icon set, to satisfy my creative needs
The question is: Is there somewhere any kind of application (on PC or PPC) that enables you to replace stock icons on their respected locatons
I'll make myself more clear... Let's say I would like to change my Start menu icons (folders, apps,...) I do know that you can do this with some apps already available on the WM 6.5 platform, but only individually. What I'm searching for, is an app that manages to replace the icons with my own, importing (replacing) them on their locations (for example it will find the icon "Comm Manager" under Start Menu>Settings>Connections>Comm Manager.lnk) In this approach you could make one personalized icon set and use it repeatedly even after a new ROM arrives all in one sweep.
I understand that all aplications are packed in .cab files. So perhaps there is one desktop app, that manages to link my .png/.ico files to the appropriate files, converts that to a .cab and after copying to the storage, that cab after execution would replace/overwrite all the icons.
Hope it's understandable. Sorry, english is not my native language.
If this was asked/commented before, I apologise for bringing that up again...
See you all
there is nothing to do exactly what you want.
however, if you use jwmd and change them 1 by 1, you can save as a "theme" and then import it after you flash a new rom and get the same icons back.

Great app, this will do, thanks! Downloading now, will try it out
Hey guys, sorry to ask something so simple, but I changed my icons, and since I have already created quicklinks in my homepage, Sense displays the old icons from the thumbnails it creates upon first time setting the quicklinks.
I know these thumbnails are somewhere to be deleted, so that the new icons will display, but for the life of me I can't find 'em or remember where the heck they are.
Tried searching, but every keyword is giving me a hundred results, all related to stuff I don't need. Anybody know offhand where they are?
Thanks and sorry for my horrible memory
Found it. Sorry for unnecessary post
Since there were like 35 views and no response, if anybody wonders,
Application Data/HTC/Program Launcher
Derrrr....
Okay, so i've been playing around with theming for 2 months and i've just about figured it all out, except for one thing.... the VZW banner on the lock screen for the D2 doesnt seem to give two ****s what i put in any of the keyguard .xmls that is supposed to control the layout and keeps on just being white...
im running fission 2.5.7 and i've tried everything that is supposed to do the lockscreen on the xml side (as far as i know) including the colors.xml in the values folder(more on this issue later)... so i started poking around .jar files in the framework but unfortunately i have little understanding still of .smali files because im still on the baby steps side of coding beyond the beginners html stuff i learned in the 6th grade ('99) and i could use some help/pointers toward i should be looking for.
i noticed mentions of wakelock (or something like it, its 2am and im mentally fried right now) in one of the smali files in a telephony folder in framework.jar but im just not sure if it is even close to the right thing because it may just be the phone doing something to the cdma radio on wakeup....
I'm open to try any suggestion you guys are willing to throw at me because finishing this project is important to me.
every guide i have been able to find so far just mentions line 7 and 8 of the .xmls in layout, if you find another idea besides that already posted send those too...
ALSO, when i edit colors.xml and then compile and push framework-res.apk to the phone i get 2 results depending on what i do
1) move the file that values folders gets turned into into the original framework-res.apk and get a boot look
2) use the newly compiled framework-res.apk (in whole) and lose the functionality of lockscreen selection app...
any idea on how to make this work would also be awesome
may end up having to work with the devs in the chatroom on this issue (im sure) but its also somethign i want to do so i can change the text colors of sound on/off (along with a couple other default text colors)
HI guys
I seem to try a lot of roms but would like an easy optioin to go back to my preferred layout. I dont want to use a backup program as I am also learning rom cooking.
OK so what I want to do is take overcome, pack adwlauncher into it AND modify its settings (add icon theme, move front screen icons, add some widgets to the homescreen etc)
I Have been experimenting and not having much luck.
First thing i did was edit the build.prop and modify the density to my liking. Works fine.
I deleted launcher.apk from and added adwlauncher.apk to /system/app.
It boots but no launcher , I assumed it would come up with the default "select program for this action" in first book allowing me to set adwlauncher, but it does not.
So useless to me, no launcher.
How do i do this?
I also assume that there is a better place to put adw so as to allow for updating? Where are market programs stored?
ALSO
How do I change adw's settings to my liking and pre package them?
I assume I can just setup adw how I like, take the config files off my galaxy AND package them into the overcome zip somewhere. Where might they be and where might I need to put them to.
Oh one other thing, adwthemes. These come from market I'm assuming as an apk. If I just add the apk to appropriate place is that enough for adw to see them so that once my config is in place the correct icons will be used.
Thanks very much for any help guys and excuse me if these answers are easy to find, I didnt have much luck with my search terms.
Hopefully one day I will be talented enough to build my own overcome. lol
Oh, for those who dont know, overcome is a rom for our galaxy tabs, forget the references I'm after generic help
I'm not sure, but I believe that putting apps in the /system/app folder makes it more difficult to update them.
I would create a folder called 'data' in your ZIP, with the APK in it. Not sure though, never tested it Perhaps you'll have to modify the update-script too, to make it work, but hey, that's the fun of cooking
I thought so, because that is a protected system folder..
Anyway I half figured this one out. I need to push /data/com.ADWFOLDER with an update script. Re the settings. Unfortunately, I have been told this is impossible..
Can anyone elaborate?
You could possibly try renaming it launcher.apk..
using hyperdroid 6 and trying to change the quickpanel icons, so changing the ones in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi, the files named "quickpanel_icon_*" but these don't seem to be the ones used, as they don't change.
i have, i've searched & searched. and can't find out what is wrong, and get the impression that these ARE the ones. so now I'm scared.
any help would be appreciated.
edit: as per yoelsd. they ARE the right ones...
That is the right place, try to actually extract the drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop so you can look at the icon's.
make sure your changing the right ones.
