Is there a way to theme the icon of an app? I've used Launcher Pro to theme the icons on the homescreens and Alt Launcher to theme the app drawer, but I want to theme the icon overall. Is the icon find in the app's files/folders?
To re theme the icon on an app you need to decompile with apk manager and go to either res/drawerable-hdpi/ or res/drawerable/ and there should be a PNG called ic_xxxxxxx_xxx.png. Those are the ones that need changing. But be careful as some apps use different names also the icon needs to be the right size. If you hover your cursor over it, it will say the size. E.G. 54x54 or something similar.

oh yes. forgot the recompile. Only decompile if you need to change .xml files but otherwise just extract as sometimes decompile can have errors. and if its a system app then just retain the signiture and just copy and paste into /system/app/ and set the correct perms.

Not to sound like an ass, but copy and paste works well for basic stuff.

Most likely, not easily. You'll need to edit images in certain framework apks to do it.
Bleh. I'm looking to have a transparent app drawer, transparent notification window, and the smooth sense icons / smooth circle battery icon. Whenever I try to install the smooth sense or the notification window zip, they overwrite each other. I can't find a transparent app drawer only mod. Does anyone know of a theme that will take care of all three together? If anyone would be willing to do it for me, I'd make a donation.

I'm sorry but I needed a good laugh today!!!
Pretty sure you can't just copy and paste.
Okay, I figured out how to move images between the apks. Does anyone know which image represents the app drawer background? I want to make it transparent but I don't know which png it is.
Just make a metamorph theme and take whatever images you want from various framework-res.apks and put them in the metamorph's theme folder.
Metamorph will only copy the files you add to it to the apk, it won't modify anything else that's already there.
I've figured the images out.
Anyone know which xml file needs to be edited to make the app drawer and add to home screens transparent?
Here's what I want to do...I like how the signal bars in honey comb are vertical instead of the usual horizontal. Is there a way to mod the position of the signal bars in the notification bar in cm7?
Bump

The easiest way would just be to use the Honeycomb theme for the CM7 theme chooser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
If you don't want the entire theme then your best bet is to pull the stat_sys_batt png files and port them over to your current theme. The theme chooser theme apk's can be ported, they are just a bit more tedious since the png files have been slightly renamed and moved to different folders.
Someone may already have a metamorph/zipthemer mod with these signal icons, but I'm not sure.
I'll give it a try. Thanks

I just noticed you said stat_sys_batt, what's the file name for the signal bar?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Never mind. I found them. I just need to know what other file has to be replaced, such as an xml.

Yea sorry about that - meant stat_sys_signal instead of stat_sys_batt
If you're just changing the appearance of the icons, nothing else needs to be changed besides the pngs
EDIT - forgot an important detail: you'll have to hit SystemUI.apk as well, not just framework-res.apk
I use go launcher and when using themes is there a way to modify say the background color of folders. The theme great just can't read icons name need fix background color I found no posts answering this. Thanks

Is there a way to change in clock on the status bar?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Change as in font, color, what? But the answer is yes, however it involves decompiling a system.apk and editing xml.
Color and font thanks
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Changing the font is easy (I think), just replace /system/fonts/Clockopia.tff with whatever font you want. Changing the color is a bit harder.
I forgot what xml you have to change, I'll update later when I figure it out. It's either in framework-res or SystemUI.

Thanks makes a bit easier now that I know what files to change

Permissions need to be changed on the font being brought in right? Once they're moved. Correct?

I don't think Clockopia changes the clock font.. i've tried. I read somewhere that it chamges the lockscreen clock, but nope.
You need to change the DroidSans and -Bold file. It will change all system fonts, including the clock in status bar. See here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571627

OK, thanks for the clarification.
Hi all. I recently downloaded a icon pack, installed it. But i didnt like the colour. I copied the icon pack's .apk file into my pc, opened it with winrar. There was a folder containing 2k icons. It was possible for me to change the hue using adobe photoshop. But that will take hell lot of time.
So wondering if anyone knows the solution to this. Modifying the icon simultaneously.
