ok let me try this again...
Go to market
Download mm, ninjamorph, silver edit, and astro.. While here pick up a random icon pack... (your first morph)
Open silver edit..pick new xml.. Here is a template. Replace the dashes - with less than/greater than < .. They won't show on xda
-?xml version="1.0"?-

Open ninja morph, choose the apk you want to modify.. The images you want to change are in res folder in the drawable dir.. choose the icon and replace it with one out of the icon pack..
Open astro.. Go to android themes.. Make new directory, Theme_Name.. Open the workspace folder..this is where the changed apk is... Copy res folder.. Paste it inside Theme_Name.. Delete everything but drawable... Open the silver edit folder in astro and copy Theme_Name.xml and paste it with your new res folder... You just made a morph on your phone...
Open meta morph..start checks and chose existing... Click Theme_Name and Theme_Name.xml, apply all...
Your original images from your apk are in backup inside android themes...
Thanks stericson for 2 great apps
I used this method today to build a metamorph theme... I used dropbox, a free app from the market to upload it for the community... I dont even need a comp anymore...

Haven't got to try this yet but I've noticed your always willing to teach ppl how to theme so I just wanted to say thank you. This community is lucky to have you around.
Hey. Just wanted to know if its possible to use created icons from scratch in place of the original icons. But the original icons will always be in that folder right.?
And is there an alternative way instead of metamorph.Thanks.

Nevermind. I was able to edit and modify the icons through ninja morph. I changed the wireless and cell signal bars so far ill post a screen shot if interested.

Well I haven't really had the ability to do lately... and those that can't do, teach.. I was lucky to get in on the bottom floor and learn before xda got cluttered with a bunch of ppl that just take... I figure this is my way to give back to the real devs that put out quality work but can't make their roms perfect for everybody... so that anybody can make the small edits to make their phone perfect for them...

THEY ARE CALLED SOMETHING LIKE IC_JOGDIAL
Using stock room 3.2 rooted. I'm trying to make a Custom battery icon with kitchen it works but the icon is way to small on the tab to see very well.
Anyway to increase the size?
Anyone? I don't want to use a widget to do this. Kitchen works but the icon is to small.

I'm not at my computer right now but the kitchen I do believe puts the batteries in the drawable hdpi folder. This device doesn't run off of that, it runs off of drawable mdpi. You have to move them to a diffetent folder to get the right size. Download one of my older themes for the 8.9 and look at the files to see how I had it set up. If I was at the computer I could help you more.

Can anybody clue me in on how to do this??

+1 I've been meaning to ask this as well.
Can't be done. The Rosie icons are part of the .m10 files, which needs a new tool to work for the new Sense 3.6 and up.

I edited m10 file and it worked, but the icon is like 1/2 smaller than it should be..and the icon I put in is exactly the same size as the original one (38x38). What could be the problem?

I'm trying to replace system icons for phone gmail sms and browser. i used APK Manager to replace the png exaclty the same size but after pushing files to system it still shows the old icon but when i see apk on Root Explorer it shows the new one next to it. Please can somebody give some advise.
Are you trying to replace them in the App Drawer or just on the screen?

hi! sorry I wrote wrongly.. I forgot a word.. I know where apps are.. I meant where default app ICONS are.. sorry for confusion..
I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

Thank you very much
It is the blue telephone app icon you can see in the attachment..

you forgot the attachment
Sorry.. second from the left, third row.. it is the regular jb telephone app icon.. I don't like all the other telephone icons I have..

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.

Nice Nice. Waiting for a download link. Nguyenxuanhoa is one of the best MOD ever, occasionally he is a lazy man.
was wallpaper scrolling enabled here? anyways, thanks for your great work sir, keep it up
Good luck with the ROM mate. 2 things. You have said 2.4 Camera when I think it is 4.2 camera. And secondly
ATTENTION TO ALL USING MULTI SCREEN WINDOW
Do you love multi screen windows but hate that stupid tab on the left hand side of your homescreen? Well, I just worked out a very fast and simple way to disable and enable this multi screen tab without having to disable the mod at all and without having to go in to any menus or settings to do it.
How? Make sure you already have the multi window box ticked in Settings>Display! Now "While on your homescreen" hold the capacitive back button down and then tap the capacitive menu button without releasing the back button. This will make the tab disappear (Not disable the feature). Repeat these steps to bring back the main multi screen bar, click on the home screen to minimise the multi screen bar back to a "tab"
EDIT* Looks like this works by simply hold the back button rather than tapping menu button too.
Developers might want to add this to their OP or FAQ!
I hope this helps somebody as picky as me
*If this fails to work for you, my setup below*
Nova Launcher
Omega 16.1
Green Circle Battery which can be found here

Hi,
You can do a little thing...using root explorer copy SystemUI from preload/symlink to yur PC.
Then with winrar or 7zip (i use winrar) extract drawable-hdpi from SystemUI, and search for the 2 icons that you see on statusbar.
Then using Gimp or photoshop, just erase the icon, (not the transparency) and set his size to 1 pixel.
You'll have a transparent icon with 1 pixel size. Copy it back to drawable-hdpi and rebuild using winrar or 7zip, and copy to your phone.
With root-explorer copy again to preload/symlink, and give appropriate permissions.
Reboot, and your icons will be gone...
Don't remove them from SystemUI...you'll lose systemUI...
