Hey devs and themers! I'm interested in themeing the launcher menu search icon (googlesearch not googlequicksearchbox.apk...) I have all the other icons on my launcher pro menu themed but that... I know the notifications icon gets hijacked by launcher pro... The settings, wallpaper, and add pngs are located in framework_res... The magnifying glass search icon is the only one I can't find. Thanks very much!
try data/data see if its in there.
long press copy, back out tell you see sd card, long press paste....now on your sd card.

You can find it in /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@GoogleSearch.apk
If you use root explorer, you can mount the directory as rw, and then copy it out to your SD card and pull it out.
awesome!!! Thanks so much!

I am a pretty big noob when it comes to tweaking the system myself and stuff so I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I was using a theme on MIUI that I really liked, but left MIUI to go to CM for a couple reasons. I didn't like ADW so am using launcherpro which I really like so far, but I'm not a fan of the stock icons. I downloaded the theme I really like from MIUI and extracted the icon folder so that I would have the icons saved locally on my SD. It's essentially just a folder of .pngs. Can anyone tell me how to apply the icons I want to launcherpro directly through the system? I know with MIUI you just have to go in to a folder, paste the icon, and name it as the process. Was wondering if this was even possible on CM.
Thanks for any input someone might have!
Where do you want to put the icons in LP? in the dock or on the homescreens?
Dock: Long press on the dock spot - choose change Icon - Custom Icon and pick the icon you want from wherever you saved them on your SD card..
Homescreen: Long press on the homescreen - choose Shortcuts - pick application you want the shortcut for and then when the Edit Shortcut menu comes up - touch the icon and then select whatever icon you want from wherever you saved it on your phone.
Hope this helps...

Yeah, thanks a bunch for the response. I actually knew about that feature, but the reason I was asking was because that would take some time for like the 50 icons I wanted to change so I was wondering if there was a folder I could just make the edit in to be quicker.
Ahh ok
nope nothing I'm aware of
Extract all the folders from the apk onto your desktop or elsewhere to double check, but I'm pretty sure they are in the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. All you would have to do is rename your icons to the names already existing in that folder and insert, recompile and boom, you're set.
Or if you'd rather not use apktool, you may be able to do it through an archiver as a shortcut. The phone might reject the apk if you try to install it though, but it should work.

Here are the new (I think these are it) icons that I pulled from a Xoom system dump. Also has some of the icons from the Xperia Arc dump as well.

Copy to your SD card. Long press on an icon and select edit. Then navigate to the gallery where the icon is and select the desired icon.

thanks so much for the icons xD
How can I change the ugly folder icons on my phone. I'm using ADW and when I long click on my home...custom shortcut....there's no option for replacing folder icons, only apps, shortcuts, and widgets. I'd rather not download another app (like app organizer), is their a simple work-a-round?.....Waited till I was out of warranty before rooting, so I'm new to the whole custom rom / theming thing.
You can get an ADW theme on the market for free, lots of colors, lots of icons, lots of folders. You just DL the pack, and you can either apply the theme which will automatically change your icons and folders in most cases, OR you can not apply the theme and choose a custom icon from the adw theme icon pack. Also, there are free icon packs all over xda, my favorite thread is the "icon collection - more than 425 icon packs". Search away.
You could try Desktop Visualizer from the Market...that would do what you want but obviously it would be another app.
Just long press your folder icon, tap the pic in the corner, and select a different one. Either from an icon pack from the market, or from your gallery.

Using that adw method, I like to change them to no icon at all. Invisible "hot spots" instead of icon clutter.

Thanks for all of the help!!! I've been reading threads like crazy for the past month, playing with different themes and even making some of my own icons. I never got this involved in my phone before, but thanks to Sprint's new upgrade policies I've get several more months left with this phone to explore the possibilities. LOL
Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!
If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.
I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)

Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.
Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

Hi guys so I've searched for themes online which enable you to have round stock icons. I haven't found anything of good quality so I decided to give it a go and edit one of the built in themes on Honor Play. With luck not only was I able to change every icon to round (Photos Above, only on big Icons!) using only the stock icons but accidently managed to make a theme that adds another feature, which is to make any other icon which is not round into a round icon (almost) and makes your icons look so much better! I kept everything else stock I hope you like the theme! All the adaptive Icons for calendar and weather have also been changed while still fully fictional. The only icons I did not keep stock were the Music, Themes, and the Audio icon as I found better looking ones. The lock screen has no wallpaper set as I have left it on Magazine unlock to make it easy for those of you who like to use that feature. I do apologize if I have made any mistakes during this post this is quite literally my first ever post.
The link to the .hwt file is below. This theme will work on any Honor or Huawei phone but was initially created for Honor Play EMUI 9.
The instructions to install once downloaded are Copy File into Internal Storage > Huawei > Themes > and paste into this folder > Restart Phone > Open the themes app > Me > My Themes > You should see the theme for selection so like any other theme Apply and enjoy!
Big Icons> Set home layout to 5x6.

Yes I know! Read what I have said if you want adaptive round icons you need to use the big Icons. I showed you Microsoft app icons because they don't support round icons yet in my theme they are round. On small Icons theme only the main apps will be round! So download the big Icons you will see every single app in your drawer will be round including your apps mentioned above.
