More than likely if you want to edit directly you'll need to pull the apps apk and edit it, see the adb link in my sig for pulling and HERE for how to edit.

I can't seem to replace an icon in my framework-res.apk and I'm wondering if it's possible to create a flashable .zip file that'll overwrite the icon I want replaced in the file.
Attached is the alarm clock icon (with the proper file name) which I extracted from the Droid 2 framework-res.apk.
I want to replace the CM6 icon I'm using now w/ the Droid 2 icon I'm attaching.
I copy my apk to my computer, unzip it, replace 'stat_notify_alarm.png', zip it back up, rename to apk, use the 'Android-sign' droplet app (I'm on a Mac), push back to the system/framework folder, reboot, nothing... old icon still there.
1. Can someone tell what steps I'm missing?
2. Can someone create a flashable .zip that'll overwrite the icon?
Thanks!
Give me your framework-res.apk and I will do it for you signed and everything
I'd like to know how to do this too.
I also have a question about icons on the homescreen. Is there anyway to get rid of the text right underneath the icon?

As for creating a flashable zip, make your changes and then delete the 2 cert files and the manifest file inside the meta inf folder then sign it. You can use Avabox or the tool regaw just made.

Here's my framework-res.apk
*Note* my APK has a modded battery icon (don't know if that matters to you or not but better safe than sorry )
If you find this icon as ugly as I do you probably researched and figured out that you could remove this by changing the OTHERS.XML in /system/csc/
If you have no problem editing the XML that is probably the easiest solution, however if you are like me and need to have a solution that works as a flashable zip that is indepenedent of the random carrier settings in others.xml this solution might help you.
This is the NFC apk from LL1 samsung release and should in theory be backwards and forwards compatible.
Tested on LL1 / TWRP.
If this works for you please give me thanks / rate the thread. If it doesn't let me know so i can figure out a more universal solution.

I kinda like the NFC icon but I changed it to something else. Just swap out the icon with another icon.

Hmm.. What kind of "apk tool" did u use to decompile & compile back?
I've tried APK Tool and it's not working.

Winrar or 7zip will do. Drag the 'res/drawable-hdpi' folder out to and make the changes. Then drag the folder 'res/drawable-hdpi'' back into the apk. Depending on your Windows configuration, make sure there are no 'thumbs.db' files in ANY of the folder in the apk file before you replace the file in your phone or else you're gonna get some force-close upon reboot. Good luck.
PS: After you're comfortable with replacing icons then you go ahead and start replacing icon in all your other programs. systemui.apk, phone.apk, contacts.apk, email.apk, maps.apk, etc...

Apk manager is the solution, incase it helps somebody.
Just a minor tweak to add priority sender and delay sending option in message settings. Tested on N900 with lollipop.
Please make a backup before adding. Unzip the file and add the file to system/etc folder. Sorry am still a noob so dont know how to create a flashable zip.....Reboot and done.
I tried it on N9005 LL and it worked, thank you mate

I have kospect prime which is a android 7 watch. I'm trying to change the icons of wifi, Bluetooth, gps, etc.. . I extracted the frimware zip and extracted system.img and got into systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and found nothing related to those icons. I'm trying to replace them with good ones. Is there a way to change icons of status bar in android (Not rooting the watch). I wanna create a frimware with those modified icons and flash it. Does anyone know the location of those icons in android?

You have to unsign, decompile, modify then recompile unsigned, re-sign some system apps. Apps such as framework_res.apk, system.ui and maybe more.

It should be in system/app or system/priv-app

All of your system apps are in those two folders, maybe you aren't looking for the correct package name. It won't necessarily be named the same as the app itself.
