[Q] Where are the the installed app-icons stored? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I think the question in the topic says everything. I didn't find them, except in the apk files in /data/app/, but then I've to extract every app. Any idea?
Thx,
KanocX

Icons are inside .apk files so u need to extract one to get its icon.

Is there no alternative way? Where does the drawer cache the icons? Does it really extract all apk's at boot and load the icons into the ram?
Thx for help,

On my XPlay sdcard is not ready on first 30sec-2min and at this time apps, which are installed on sd, have other icon than normally (sth like a grey wall), so i think it need .apk files of app to take a icon from it.

i just did it again,this is the way...
extract the all the drawable-ldpi folder and look at the last pic.tha t is the one you want to replace.then put it back to the .apk!
dont do it via adb or while the .apk is in a .zip
it has to be just framework-res.apk in the desktop

no need to zip or anything
just put it back like you would in any other folder.
just:
1 open apk with 7zip
2 replace the wallpaper
3 make sure you did it (close the 7zip window and check the wallpaper again
4 close the window and push the apk to the phone

delete them and try to flash this as it seems while copying it from sd card you will have to change permissions of those files to rw-r--r-- to work
if this flashable do not work then you have to change it manually
it works for me

Wrong answer...
You could be right, but no...
That are not the default themes...
I think you should drag and drop the files from your theme into the framework file and compile and sign. That should do it.
Or do you mean a theme enabled by default but not default theme?

Try wipe cache and dalvik, and sign correctly. I admit that it is strange.
Greets!
Edit: did you sign, compile?
Greets!
Hi,
check for what exactly ?
there is nothing special .. as I said .. if I flash the ROM and the theme separately then every thing is ok ...
all I did was replace the files in the zip..and then I get stucj at bootanimation.
I didn't sign or compile...
I have a theory : the SystemUI has a battery percentage and the apk has new files in it... could it be the problem ?

First: to clarify;
you have a couple APKs for your Tab.
You place them in a flashable zip, flash, bootblock
you have a ROM for your Tab,
you grab the .zip, and replace the theme APKs, flash, and it works?
THat is really strange...
Hi,
thanks for answering me mDroidd ...
I found the problem.. it is the SystemUI.apk
I copied all the theme files to my ROM zip except that file and the device boot ok.
why does this file need to be flashed in a separate zip ?
is there another way ?

Maybe it had something to do with permissions our something?
If you override the systemui manually, does it work? Can your send me you're updater script?

select anything from there but you wont be able to flash it...... just make modifications upload both files and the download the .zip files and then extract the system.apk and resource file from the zip copy to sdcard and the use any root explorer to xopy both these files to their default location and then set permissions......
make sure to backup both the original files.......
One more thing just copy both the files you have extracted to system folder first then change permissions to rw-r--r-- and the move to app and framework folder respectively......
