Application Icons Location

I was just wondering if someone could tell me where the icons to all the applications are placed.
Some icons are bad, and some are most likely not made for HD2, so I want to change them.
And therefore I ask if this is possible, and if there exists an icon file.

You can use CSMI to change the icons one by one.
Or better still, you can just install this wonderful cab by DINIK to instantly replace 100 icons with these (highly recommended!):

Maybe you could try JWMD Icon Changer, it's on xda, do a search and you will find it.
Icons are in Windows/Startmenu/programs.

i was looking for this also.. wonder where isit..
but i tot there are some location @ Windows/?

hi there,
i am not sure but i think, all icon images are placed in windows folder you will have to find which one want to change. then you can replace it with your favourite one,
cheers

You can change them with a registry edittor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ xxx.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\yyy.png"
where xxx.lnk = the Start Menu link
and yyy.png = the icon you want to use
After that, clean the cache:
Phone/Application data/HTC/ProgLauncher/*.bmg

is there a directory where you can find all the icon ico files?

How do you change the default dialer picture?

I loaded the following dialer "DarchVader_Dialer_DamagedTrev.zip" and it has a goofy picture of Homer as the default pic. Does someone else have another "black dialer" or stock dialer or way to simply change the default picutre?
Thanks!

Click on the theme in my signature and scroll down to the bottom of the first post. There are a couple of black dialers to.choose from. Always nandroid first. Let me know if that works for you.

Actually, darchvader might be based on a legend Rom...(im not sure)....if it is than my zips wouldn't work. Either way, nandroid.

Actually it is. I made it for Legend, and Treve ported the dialer for sprint based Roms without changing the picture. If you want to get rid of Homer I posted a phone.apk, but that got erased with the rest of the theme thread. Or you can replace him yourself. The picture is in Phone.apk and its called phone_default_icon_png. You can change it to whatever you want as long as its in reasonable standards(meaning sizes).

Thanks for the assistance. Actually when it came to replacing it... I struggled to think of what I really wanted. I threw this together as a temp replacement. Piece of cake to do after your help.
Thanks!

Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)

that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped

Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?

Ok.
So the problem is froyo

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency

Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703

Thanks Britoso.
Now I have the theme with transparent.
Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.
Also I have to investigate why It have some crash when I use metamorth for apply theme.
edit.
perfect all I want.
I have only investigate for crash when using metamorph.

Thx britoso from that other thread and xuedoxus for the app
finally got it working on my theme(frf91)

pretty cool theme!

Banner in notification bar.

Is there any way that you could change the U.S. Cellular banner in the notification bar to what you want? Cause my buddy has an iPhone and he can change the att in his to whatever he wants and i was wondering if we could too.

hehe big help you are.
With iPhones that is actually just stored in a .plist file which is the equivalent of our .xml files. For them you can simply open the plist file with a file browser if you're jailbroken, and type whatever you want for that and literally any other text thing. (Even things like when you're deleting an app, you can make the popup ask you if you want to "get rid of this" and the buttons can say "hell yeah" or "oops" and every other text that you ever see on an iphone can be changed.)
With us, it isn't that simple. I don't think. I haven't looked inside our xmls enough, the filesystem is mildly confusing after being with iPhones for so long.

For a second time, yes it is.
...I never said I knew off the top of my head how to do it, but it is possible.

If i wasn't already looking into it I would have told you to use google. since I've already found some resources, here you go;

You decompile framework-res.apk with apktool, open the XML folder - edit the ERI.xml (change whatever values you want), recompile and push to your phone, reboot and it will say what you want. It also changes the Network listed in about phone. (read through my porting guide for more detail)
EX. I made mine say Cyanogen

This maybe not be in the styles xml. This could be in a few places. Check the colors folder and the layout folder. And depending on what it is calling it maybe calling it from the framework files and not the contacts apk.

Yes I know it is in the framework-res.apk.. And you're right it could also be somewhere in layout.. But I can't seem to figure out which xml. I already did the necessary editing on select_dialog_item.xml, select_dialog_singlechoice.xml and select_dialog_multichoice.xml.. It could perhaps be still in styles.xml.. Will someone tell me where?

The problem is that depending on the rom it is in a deifferent place and refered to differently.
Have you looked in the contacts apks and tried to track it down that way?

Thanks for the help.. Yeah I'm looking into contacts.apk now.. Still can't seem to find it though.. It could also be in Settings.apk(not sure).. Can't find it either.. But I believe it something that has something to do with selecting a ACCOUNT...
