I'm sorry if there is a thread somewhere answering my question, but I just couldn't find it. So my question is obvious: how can I creat an icon pack, when I already have the icons prepared, so that I can use it with LauncherPro ot ADW ?

You pack them in an rar/zip file! If you want your icons to be the default ones, you would have to make your own ROM I believe.
That sounds waaaay too simple .. ? How do I name the icon files, so that LP/ADW recognizes them as the right icons for a given app/game ? I read that they should be called smth like ic_appname_smth i forgot, but I'm not sure if it was about creating exactly icon packs.

You wouldn't have to. You can extract the APKs to your PC, then change the icons in the APK files.
It can also be done in another way, but I forgot about that...

It cannot be installed as a normal app...
Just move it into system/apps and change the permission to rw-/r--/r--

hi all,
I want to log 2 FB accounts on my phone. the 1st acc, im using native FB app on playstore, and i did try several apps for the 2nd account. but after all, IMO, native FB app is still the best now, and i want to use it too for the 2nd acc.
it means i have to install FB app twice on my phone. i google for some days and find out, changing the package name and app name of FB app to something else would let me install it twice. so this what i did:
- decompile latest FB app version 3.2.1.
- change package name from com.facebook.kanata to com.facebook.kanata2
- change app name from Facebook to Facebook2 in string file.
- recompile & sign.
all successful, but i cant install that modified app. my phone shows app not installed.
so do i miss something in modifying or it is just impossible to do that?
Thanks in advance and im looking forward to your help.
p.s: Im sorry if my thread isnt meant to be here.
Nope your thread isn't meant to be here. It should be in q and a. Report it and have it moved.
Regards

thank you. would you mind upload your modified fb app to any host and give me the link, in case i still couldnt make my app work?
update:
i did the exactly same thing as you said:
package="com.fb.katana"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in AndroidManifest.xml
and
<string name="app_name">FB</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in strings.xml
but after recompile and sign, i still couldnt install it.
could you please share me your modified apk file that could work?
i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there
