Hi, guys! I want to customize ROM that was customized before by another guy. But I'm a newbie and have some questions.
The first is: how can I change launcher? Now my device works with Apex launcher, but I realy like launcher8 and use it now. I want to have just only one launcher.
The second question: how can i take back an original statusbar. May I just change file framework-res.apk that is now on my device on original.
The third question: how can i remove an original locker and install locker that is being used in launcher8.
p.s.
Please, sorry me if my questions are stupid. It will be nice to see any links with the material that will help me in solution of my problem.
To edit the status bar you could manually edit systemui.apk or you could use uot kitchen.
For the lock screen u could use an app called widget locker which let's you apply themes to the lock screen

The UOT kitchen is not working at the moment. depending on the android version he will also have to edit the code in the framework Res apk

I took some days to search how to do this, and found some instructions to reasign apk after uncompressing, changing png and compressing again. But it didn't work! I can change icons of app drwaer, install it, but cant make app drawer backgroung transparent.
I found, here in forum, an apk with it, but it's to donut.
Can some good soul share helix.apk to 2.1 with transparent background, already signed an tested?
Thanks

Did you say helix launcher and 2.1 together? Get launcherpro and feel the power...

yes, helix with android 2.1
launcherpro is really cool, but helix is very robust, without any addons, working very responsive and taking almost nothing from batt.

That would require someone to change it in Rosie.apk I would assume, it's been done before, but I would make a request in the Apps and Theme section of the forum so a modder can do it or let you know if there is a flashable rosie zip they are working on.
now that I think about it...they will prob have to change the icon in the framework files too so it is a browser icon... so for it to be nice and neat for public release it might be a little while.
I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.

Specifically, I want to get my app icons themed in all apps not just my launcher. MIUI and CM themes do this, however most CM themes only change gapps icons. What about other apps? I'm currently on CM10.1 and am want to do this with the Micons icon pack.

Use launcher to change the icons. You can use an icon theme to change them in the app drawer. Any further mods will need to be done to each and every apk.
