How can I find resources like icons and buttons, themes and styles for app developmen

How can I find resources like icons and buttons, themes and styles for app development?
I'm an independent, student developer, not a designer. I want to use the send button from the ICS messaging app. I could make use of a couple other buttons like the attachment button in the messaging app.
Are these protected resources or available to all?
If they are protected, could someone point me in the right direction?
And if they are not, how can I find them?

[Q] Desktop Visualizer and Launcherpro/ADW Shortcuts

Hi, I have a very specific project in mind and i would like to know if its in any way possible for desktop visualizer to access launcher replacement shortcuts like launcherpro's next screen or adw's screen links. They don't appear in the system's shortcut list when being accessed by DV or other apps.
Can i create my own shortcut to another homescreen?
Does another launcher have the ability to link to other screens as well as resizing and customizin those links?
I want to arrange my different screens for different activities and be able to click an oversized text link on a central screen to access those screens. I know swiping is easy but this project is a pet peeve of mine.
I don't know coding but I would learn if it would mean I could achieve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lockscreen Shortcuts

Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen

[Q] [4.2] widget on lockscreen widget?

Hi all,
I'm not particularly sure I chose the right forum, but hey, maybe you can point me to the right place
I do have an Android 4.2.2 ROM on my phone, and I'd like to have a special widget on my lockscreen widget (it's an app displaying emergency info for paramedics, and as such intended to be shown on lockscreen). But so far I didn't manage to add it - either it takes the whole lockscreen and there's no romm for clock, wheather etc. or I can't display it on the primary lockscreen at all
My best shot so far seems to be DashClock, but among the numerous extensions I couldn't find one that displays any of the installed widgets which I could put on my homescreen.
Did I miss something? An extension? Or is there some generic way or a different lockscreen widget I could use?
Any hints appreciated
