Hi there,
is there any way to copy Icons onto my 4.0.3-tablet manually, to replace all those appdrawer icons? Like ADW Launcher applying a theme... but without coding and using the sdk...
thx

Hello,
I was trying to make the app drawer transparent, tried editing the apk from /data/app/com.helixproject.launcher.apk
I assumed \res\drawable\pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png is the BG for the app drawer, tried to make it semi transparent and then pushed it to the apk in /data/app.
IT DIDN'T WORK!
Helix Launcher doesn't work anymore, I had to restore it using titanium.
I also tried editing the installer apk, signed the app using signapk, then used adb install. and I got:
file 'helixlauncheredited.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml
Do you have any other way to make the app drawer transparent? I really love the Helix Launcher and doesn't want to use other homescreens, I just wanted to make the app drawer transparent ^_^
Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much!!
(HelixLauncherDONUT_1.2 is the one I'm using)
Try this.... You have to resign it with Auto-sign(If you search you can find on XDA).
Thanks for trying sir, I installed and it...
doesn't work... sorry. The app drawer ended up looking like gibberish with all the apps multiplying and overlapping everywhere. Have you any idea why this happened? Maybe setting the png to just semitransparent can do the trick?
Problem is if you open the drawer you see a black background with apps but under this is your homescreen. So if drawerbackground is transparent you see both.
Why you would have a transparent backgraund? The black one looks good.
Sorry for my english.

Hmm. now that you've said it, I realized that you can't just change the .png to transparent. I just want the app drawer's BG to be the same as the wallpaper's. Black is not really my color lol. I prefer grey, mint green or brown...
BTW, can you please tell me how you edited the apk to make the app drawer transparent? From the files you've edited to signing the app? I think it would be useful in modifying other apps...
ok for example helix with transparent background.
you need auto-sign from this forum(cant post links as newbie) . winrar and an picture editor like photo shop.
1. unpack the helix.apk with winrar in a folder like /helix on your desktop.
2. go to folder /helix/res/drawable and change or edit every png you like
3. delete folder META-INF and pack the rest into zip
4. move the helix.zip to auto-sign folder and rename into Update.zip
5. double tab on Sign.bat. Now you have update_signed.zip
6. rename update_sign.zip to helix.apk and install on your phone.
hope you understand, my english is not the best.
good luck

Thanks a lot sir! I have no trouble understanding your English. I will try this out on my downtime...
Is there anyway to change the stock SE icons to other icons?
Can I copy the default apps to the SD card using Root Explorer, and change the icons, and put the apps back to the device without any consequences?
I have a rooted x10 mini.
Would be better if you would search before you create topics but seeing as you have created one this should be useful:

So my boyfriend was able to use PS CS5 today to modify his iphone4 icons. This got me to wondering if I could do the same thing, and if so, how would I go about doing such. For him, it was as simple as finding the folder in which the icons were stored, modding them, and placing the modded icons back in the system folder. So yeah. Any help would be mucho appreciated.

you could use ninjamorph from the market, its free (you can do a quick search here at XDA on how to use it)
or for me the easier way, use 7zip.
- Open the .apk you want to edit.
- Go to res>>drawable hdpi and find the icon of the apk.
- Now rename the icon you want to change it into (for example the browser is named ic_launcher_browser.png)
- Drag the new icon and overwrite the existing png. close it
- Push that apk to system>app using root explorer and you're all set.
common ones i usually change so you dont have to look for the name
ic_launcher_contacts.png - contacts.apk
ic_launcher_phone.png - dialertabactivity.apk
ic_launcher_smsmms.png - MMS.apk
ic_launcher_browser.png - browser.apk

Requirements:
1. Player pro apk(lol! get a utility to extract it after you install it from playstore)
2. You'll need APK Multi-Tool get it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151
3. Windows PC(Win 7 or better for easier use)
4. beats audio icons get it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3y8ntAWWOPyVS1KYU1wRFQ2Z0k/edit?usp=sharing (Click on file>>download or ctrl+S)

1. Install apk multi-tool
2.download and extract mod_icons.zip from the link

3. extract the apk
4. Open the projects folder and locate the extracted apk folder
5. open the res folder and search for "stat_notify_musicplayer.png" there are 7 of them. replace each of them with the icon of the (Almost!)same resolution. Replace "app_music.png" the same way. preview: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3y8ntAWWOPya01WVTRaSzdkbzQ/edit?usp=sharing
6. 7.compress,sign and zip align the apk using apktool
7. install app on your device!
note:apk compression changes the size of the original apk. the app still preforms the exact functions without any limitations.
BTW I am using Playerpro with EyeOS7 stock from RealPetChicken
(First project as a Noob)
Everything as been said, is there a way to remove those EMUI icons and just use the stock android ones, like on the Google Pixel ? Without using a theme if possible.

I believe using a theme or another launcher (Nova) is the only way. You can probably find a theme that only changes the icons. Might take a little while as the phone is still new.

You can change the theme to the following:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/themes/theme-pixel-dusk-classic-theme-emui-5-t3567731
From the theme you can customize and pick the icons from the above theme which need to put into the internal memory /Huawei/Themes folder. If your phone is rooted, this will not work. You need to create a folder "themes" in system and put the hwt file in this folder. Remember to change the folder permission to 755 and the file to 644 before it can work.

Didn't want to use a theme at first but this was pretty straightforward and did the job just fine.
Thank you very much.

huawei themes app, have different styles of icons, and I m using nova launcher, which allow changing the size and using pixel icons package, which is great !
Try Emui Themes Factory. Loads of nice themes there. Or just use Nova Launcher.
Thank you very much fellas, it was great @amonrei ?
