I want to replace the icons and edit the color of the widget text. I found the files and edited them for the text and photo-shopped the icons. Rezipped it and resigned it. I uninstalled the old poweramp (left the unlocker installed). Installed the new re-signed one using root-explorer but it says can't open modified apk install poweramp from market. Pretty annoying I just wan't to edit the icons for the widget is there another way replace icons for the widgets without editing the apk?

Hey guys. Just a quick question. I've successfully edited the images inside a few .apk files to match my theme and then installed them on my phone without any problems.
However, now I'm trying to edit some .apk files that are apps with widgets. Specifically, Advanced Task Manager and N1 Torch. I wanted to edit the widgets' image files so that the "focused" and "pressed" highlights of these apps' respective widgets are no longer Android's hideous orange color. But when I make changes to the widgets and install my modded .apk files, the widgets are broken. They won't load. Any advice? Thanks.

Never mind. Got it all settled. Fixed my widgets. Thanks.
I have the google voice with the inbox and settings widgets, not the best looking widgets. I'm would like to change the background of the inbox transparent. I tried the following, opened the googlevoice-0.4.1.19.apk with 7zip, and found all the background .png's in \googlevoice-0.4.1.19\res\drawable-hdpi. I copied the inbox background png to my computer, edited in GIMP to make the inbox background transparent, and copied back to apk file. when I try to install via application manager is will not install. What am I doing wrong, probably alot since I have no idea if what I'm doing is suppose to work or not.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to resign the apk.
If you are able to get this working, I would love to have it in my phone as well.
Good luck and thank you in advance!

You're going to want to do a couple things. Pngout the pngs when you are done editing and resign the apk. Check out this link http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
Hi,
I just installed a great widget "Brightness widget" but I don't like the widget icons, it has 3 icons that change accordingly with the screen brightness.
I found only a software with which you can change the application icon but not the widget icon.
I opened the apk file with winzip and browsed and I found the icons but if I replace them the apk won't install anymore on my phone.
Can someone give me any guidance if it is possible to change the widgets icons and how? I want to change only the widget apk if possible.
thanks and sorry for the bad english
At present, it is not possible to change the icons of widgets in any Android version by using the phone, as far as I know.
actually I was able to change the widget icon. The only thing I had to do is to sign the modfied .apk with zip signer 2.
You previously mentioned that you found an app, what app was it?

I used to be able to extract the PNGs from icon themes because Notification Toggle can't change icons unless its saved on your gallery, but recently they changed locations and I cant find them. I've been using root explorer trying to search for the folder location to extract the PNGs of certain icon packs (like Nox for example) ...anybody know the location of these icon packs?
they dont show up under system/app or data/app\
EDIT: never mind found it under MNT/ASEC/
mods please delete post
Hi there,
Is there a way to unpack and edit the assiging on icons from a icon pack? What I've done so far: Unpacked a icon pack, edited the appfilter xml, saved it, signed the apk. The apk installs fine but it won't load the icons that I assigned in the appfilter.xml
Any thoughts?
THanks!
