Here are some apks that change the icons on your home screen and your app drawer.
Thanks to Pfaffinator for the icons.
1 go to system/ app and copy your entire app file then place it on an sd card for backup if you want to revert back to your original icons.
2 copy these new apks to system/ app. Your phone will ask if you want to replace your old apk with the new one...tap yes then profit.
3 I do not know how to make a zip file yet as I am still learning.
4 I will add more as I theme more icons.
5 DISLAIMER : I am not responsible for your phone if something goes wrong.

If you flash super Jelly, use the super Jelly updater to download a blank zip. You then use an archive manager like 7zip or winrar to place the apk's in the system/app folder. I think it has to be signed for JB, not sure how to do that tho.
Thanks for sharing tho. If these are someone else's work can you give them credit? If this is your work, nice job!
Edit: saw you said you were theming the icons. Sorry if I offended by suggesting this was another person's work

Sorry my mistake. I didn't make the icons. I put them in the apks to use with our phones. Thank you for making me aware that I needed to do that.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Pull the apks modified. Either adb pull system > w/e.apk. or do it via phone via a root powered file explore. Place the apks on your sdcard. Mount the device place on your computer. That download a theme or a mod zip. And archive into that make your changes etc flash to test then release as a theme. Message me about if you already haven't ill get to you as soon as I can.

Did it force close once or does it work correctly now? If it doesn't work correctly and you made a backup on your SD card of your original APks you can just pull the NFC apk only and put it back in system app.

Using Root Explorer navigate to system/media and find the .zip you put there. Long press it and select Permissions. It should be set up as follows:
User: Read, Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
See if that helps, though Im not a Gingerclone user so YMMV.

I've created an mClock folder on my phone, dragged the files with images into it and when I click on one of the .xml files, it shows the time/date but no image/template behind it. Ive also tried adding these files to my SD card with no luck.
Not sure why the background is not showing up, anybody have any idea?
Edit: Okay I found a solution for anybody who ends up here somehow. The mClock skin needs its own folder inside of the "mClock" folder you've created on your phones storage. So on your phones storage (didnt work on my SD for some reason), create a folder called "mClock" and within that folder create another one with the name of the zip. So I downloaded a skin called "ribbons", so the folder inside your mClock folder should be called "ribbons". Then drag everything into that ribbons folder and you should be good to go!
Sorry if confusing lol
Have you looked in the Android themes section where the mclock thread is yet? There are a lot of the same question there about mclock not showing up properly. from what I would speculate is that the background image isn't in the right folder where the xml file is supposed to find it. That usually is my problem as well.

Editing: Found solution, in OP.
sadly the solution doesn't work for me :'( ...
in my case i've tried internal and external no difference. my layout is mnt/sdcard/mclock/sayit/hdpi/xmls/ and when i select my xml it will appear in preview but not when i press back. i can grab it but it is invisible and shows nothing.
Sent from my Galaxy S II Skyrocket
You also need to make sure the "mClock" folder you create on your sd is exact....(lowercase "m", capitol "C") If not the whole path will be ruined. Inside the .xml you can look at the path, just make sure you name your folder correctly!
Ye when I posted it was just mclock but tried mClock no difference...
ok on a stock rom it won't even appear in preview anymore. it will however appear on homescreen but without xml modification its just the regular font.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727R using XDA App
are you're themes in .zip format, are you unzipping and moving the folder inside your "mClock" folder on your sd? If so, you need to open up the .xml in notepad and make sure what the path is, should be (sd/mClock/nameofyourfolder) make sure everything is spelled correctly and that everything is on the same path as the .xml, otherwise it wont work.
It was downloaded as a zip yes. But as I stated in my first post it is sdcard/mClock/Sayit/hdpi/xmls/ and it is in there

what did you do to fix the other one?
Welcome back everyone from the SOPA blackout. I hope it raised awareness.
So I rooted my girls Amaze last night. I grabbed her bootanimation since I thought it was pretty cool lil bootanimation. It works very good on the mt4g so I decided I should share it since I've not seen anyone post it. Nothing fancy, just thought it was cool. Hope you guys like it.
DISCLAMER: Always do a back up of your current rom before making any changes. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device. ITS YOUR DEVICE. You know the risks.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1: download folder file from link below(link is to my box) which contains bootanimation zip
2a: rename zip to htc_bootanimation.zip for sense roms
2b: rename to bootanimation.zip for asop roms
3: change permissions
4a: move to correctsponding place system/costumize/resource for sense
4b: system/media for asop
5: reboot and enjoy
Ive also attached the sound if some one want to tackle on making it work. Im only able to have the start up sound work but not the actual bootanimation sound.
To install sound just extract the wav and mp3 from zip attached and move to same place bootanimation is located. remember to set permissions.

No luck. The APK Handler said the installation failed.
Yeah, it won't install like a normal apk. It's a system app. It needs to be moved to /system/app, and then set permissions to rw-r-r then go into recovery, wipe caches and reboot.
Before pasting it there, I would rename the existing rosie to Rosie.apk.bak in case you get into trouble and need to revert. Also, I would suggest having another launcher installed (like Nova, Apex, or whatever you like), again, in case things go wrong.
And always nand first.

Did you mount your file system as r/w before trying to move? Root explorer is a fantastic app for such operations.
Sent from my MeanROMed LTEVO using IcedOut XDA
If you dont know the correct permission the apk needs to be,just look at your system apps in you phone using root explorer and match it up.
what you are going to have to do is copy the apk to the sdcard then go into root explorer and longpress that Rosie.apk. it will give you the options there to move it or copy it, do either but do not change the permissions in the sdcard. move it to system/app then change them in there so the change sticks. also in order to change permission or copy a sys/app in there you need to hit the little button that says r/o up top to change it to reade/write.
reboot and profit!
