Anyway, i don't want to do it by FolderOrganizer, because it make folder different, i like how big is that. BetterCut and Desktop Visualizer can't make new folder icon, only Contacts, Bookmarks and more of that crap
Someone said, when I will open the folder, long-time press on the title of folder, I could change the name of folder and icon. But i can change only an icon. I have ROOT access and T-Mobile G1
Can someone help me?

Hi
I know that the folder icons are store in the FolderIcon.dll and pointing to it via the icon.ink file will cause the folder icon to change.
Question is how to view this FolderIcon.dll file such that it will display all the icons within the file. So that I can know which number is associated to which image
for example FolderIcons.dll,-8884 is associated with image of a folder with tools
Also, how to change the program icons?
Thanks
I always use my TMWD theme to get my icons back...for whatever reason it does replace my setting folder with a stupid icon so I would love to save the setting folder on my storage card and then remove the new icon and put the old one back.
does anyone know where I can find the setting folder icon?

I am trying to figure out how to change the icons for phone, messages, twitter, and browser into words. How would I go about doing this? I'm sure it's possible, I'm just new to android.

There is an app in the marketplace called NinjaMorph that will do it from the phone. Alternatively, you'd have to pull a copy of the app from your phone to your PC, replace the icon, and push it back to your phone via adb.
NinjaMorph is the best approach, however, I've encountered instances/apps where NinjaMorph just doesn't work. For those I went with the second option above.
On top of that you would need to create your own "word" icons in a editing program assuming you haven't already found an icon pack.
FolderOrganizer is what you're looking for. It will place instances of itself in the shortcuts menu and from there you can rename, change icons, etc., etc. I currently have over 20,000 png icons that I have collected for ObjectDock and all I do is resize the ones I want to 48x48 and copy them over to a directory I call Iconz on the SD card and I can use them whenever I go to change an icon.
Cheers...
Just to clarify... I also use Folder Organizer, but that doesn't change the default icon for the app, just the ones that show on the home screen.
If that's all you need, then Folder Organizer is great, but I came to this thread looking for a way to change the default app icons so I just wanted to clarify that point about Folder Organizer.
Think I'll take a stab at NinjaMorph. Thanks okolowicz!
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.
