Help modifying System Icons - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to modify the system icons within my Jellybean stock rom; specifically the phone & messaging ones but maintain the interactivity ie showing a missed call or unread text message. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Bump.

you can try this app:

or just install a 3rd party launcher like nova, go or many others that supports changing icons

Email notifications

Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Thanks

[Q] Transparent Wallpaper

Hi, I would like to have a system wallpaper (the one behind settings, contacts etc) as transparent so it would show my current launcher background in all system apps. Is it possible? I would like it to be so that I could change my regular launcher background and have the change reflected in contacts etc. I have seen it in ROMs, but not as a mod-type thing.
Thanks in advance

App Drawer Icons and Their Related Processes

Hey everyone
i've been compiling my own .apk's for my own personal use with LauncherPro today, using icon packs i've found throughout the XDA Forums
I've had some issues trying to figure out what the correct way to go about naming the files for the Dialer and the Contacts icon
They both pretty much go to the same app, just a different tab within that app.
IF someone could provide me with the proper filename or even just the activity name, or a method of finding out which process / activity it is that i need for the different icons, especially for the Dialer icon and the Contacts icon, that would be great!

Changing bubble styles on stock messaging?

So as you guys know may know in the stock messaging app you are able to change the bubble styles and also the background. I was just curious to know if it were possible to get more bubble added to the messaging app. I greatly enjoy stock messaging and dont really want to go to anything else like go sms.

[Q] [U] Disable theming/NXT skins alltogether

Hello,
With the recent ICS update to XPU, I finally got to root my device without unlocking bootloader and I removed most of the Sony custom apps and bloat.
I use an alternative launcher, dialer, AOSP messaging apps, etc. I've also disabled the NXT lock screen and lots of other crap.
Now what I am trying to find out (with no success) is if it is possible to completely disable the NXT themes (Silk/Amethyst/etc) to revert the UI to a clean AOSP Holo look? I don't want a theme, but actual non-skinned Holo (i.e. holo action bar, holo background, holo toggle buttons, etc).
I would like to hear any information on this topic from those who have dabbled in modding/themes.
Thanks =)
You can Uninstall the themes but not quite sure if that would give you the Holo look. Bdw where did you get the AOSP messaging and contacts app. I've been searching but none of them worked for me.

I used this Mms.apk. There is a small bug for me — if you tap on the user pic the contact info does not come up.
I use exDialer for contacts/dialer, but you can't remove/disable the stock Phonebook.apk, as exDialer uses it to edit contacts.
