How to change widget icons? - General Questions and Answers

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?

Editing widgets/.apk files?

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.

Editing PNGs on PowerAMP

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?

[Q] Nova Launcher icon theme modify?

First off, I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to creating themes, but want to modify one. I purchased the Blaque Icon theme set and love the look BUT there are a few icons they did not change. I opened up the file and noticed there are some icons I could use to replace the stockish ones. To give you an idea here's what it looks like:
The calculator, fancy widget, and a few on other screens mismatch the icons. How hard would it be to use an icon from that pack, I guess change the name so it forces the icon pack to use that?
This is for Nova Launcher Prime if that helps.

Where are Nova theme icon packs located in phone?

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/
