What icon are you tryin to change? It would be in the app apk file...
If it's a system on try com.htc.resources.apk or look through your app list..
Are you talking about the folder icon or a app icon?????
Hi
sorry if for expert devs this is a basic question
I have been looking around but I did not found this explained
HOW TO CHANG THE ICON ASSOCIATED WITH AN APK ????
I know how to open a apk with 7 zip and that I have to change the png file there
but which file ?????
do I need to change just the file associated with the icons or all the others ?
I mean .... inside (for example) mm.apk I found the icons related to contacts.apk to email.apk etc ... do I need to chenge all of them with the new ones ?
decompile and recompile
Decompile the app with apktool and go into the res folder and find the icon u want to replace ,,change it and recompile with apktool.Lastly sign the app and you are good to go
I have never tried change icons but i tried to change the background images for dialer and system menu. I used the same method mentioned above by opening the apk using 7zip and changing the images files with my custom images and rename them exactly the same as old ones.
Then I used CWM to flash the zip which contains the modified apk (i.e. contacts.apk and framework-res.apk)
However, I would recommend that you backup your ROM before flashing the modified zip file just in case something wrong happens.
Good Luck
I remember that there is a tool much faster than apktool ti decompile recompile but ... I have not been on the forum for long and I lost it
Is it also possible to change only theicon by using vrtheme ? if yes can someone explain how ?
Thanks

All very interesting I am sure I will use it at some point
I installed Java SDK and APKtool ... I remembered what they are for ... but still ...
the only thing I needed to know was if I need to change all the images in res or only that associated to the icon.....

fine, whatever, ignore my post
Please .. do not missunderstand me !!!
Your help is very much apreciated
I knew approximately what to do to modify the theme also if in general I preferred kitchen uot
Instead I was hoping in a simple change of icon afetr decompressing/decompiling the apk but apparently it is not so simple ...never mind
The only reason I am making this thread is because after numerous times asking how to use UCCW in the themes thread I have got no responses... My only question is if someone that knows how to use the app if they were willing to maybe make a tutorial video on how to use it?? I know that your supposed to make a fonts folder and put it on root of sd card but i dont know where to put everything else i just need to know what folders i need to make and where to put them.. I tried messing around with UCCW and downloaded the starter pack themes and icons i got the icons to work but everytime i tried selecting a weather image root explorer would say granted permission but nothing happened in UCCW... Could someone please help with this topic??? I am in dire need.. HAHA Thanks in advance!!!
I Have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and i am running on Hyperdrive ROM RLS 19.... I Wanted to edit some of my system apps specifically my keyboard, Messages, phone, and Notification center toggles. I Know some basics about apktool but not much. i know that you must first Use the command "apktool if framework-res.apk" and i also did the same for the SystemUI and Touchwiz framework apk ... However everytime after ive decompiled and I do the editing-- (Ex. editing image files with image editor or changing color codes in values files)-- and try to recompile it gives me errors and wont allow me to recompile. please help i cant seem to find out what im doing wrong. ive scowered the internet and cant seem to locate a solution. Please Help.... if there is an easier method or program for editing apps please tell me.
Thanks
