I know GO Launcher would allow the icon to be changed, I'm sure ADW does too. Not sure about renaming though.
Swyped from my HTC Sensation using xda premium.

Pull apk, unpack.
icon is at /res/drawable
to rename, change app name in strings.xml at /res/xml

they're stored in /data/app
I think you can edit the apks by opening them with WinRAR

you can, but it wont compile nicely.
You need apk manager.

Ah right, I've never modified one before
Although seeing this thread I might mess about with one just to see
Any other cool things you can try?

yeah, you can theme the app from there. It's a looooooong and time sucking task though.

Hmm, I did just have an idea...
How about modifying the APK to remove the annoying settings shortcut for Adobe Flash v11?

Sounds like you are just trying to hide the app.. Why not just do that?

Yeah i guessed that. Like i said use 7zip. Open the apk, drag images into the appropriate folder save.Done.
Then you can push it to sdcard and dd it to /system/framework

Super nice! You have to mount as R/W before you can push or change permissions.

Works perfect. But I don't like the lockout flip animation.
Is it possible take it out from the zip?

You should have made a backup of systemui.apk and framworkres.apk that way if anything goes wrong or its smthing you don't like you can manually push them back and undo your mistake or put things back to normal.

Disabling all animations seems to do the trick, only want the battery stuff anyhow.

Extract the zip of the ROM you're using. Get the apks from that and push them back to system/apps reboot.

You need to get some sort of file explorer/manager from the market that has root access.
I use "root explorer", but there are many others.
My animations are already off so this will be good. Thanks.

i can do that. tell me which one you'd like. actually pm me please =]
Could you explain how did you change app drawer icon, simply by decompiling home.apk or does it involve editing .xml files as well?
yerh, about that. but use ps, make bg transparent and make it 72 by 72 pixels etc etc.

[Q] how to remove "AT&T" from my notification/status bar?

Can anyone please tell me how to remove that obnoxious "AT&T" from the precious real-estate of my notification/status bar? It takes the space of at least 2 notification icons. Thus making them que, rather than appear in the bar, where I can quickly glance and know if I should bother with dragging it down and taking action.
I'd also be interested in learning how to remove the clock from the bar, as well.
Many Thanks,
does the lack of response mean I have to wait for a custom rom?
I think the phone will have to be deodexed in order to change anything like that
This is done in the eri.xml. The eri.xml is in the framework-res.apk.

Yes. For the odex rom you would need to edit and recompile and sign the apk before pushing it back. You can probably sign it with test keys and it be fine but you never know. I am afraid to try anything until we have a road to recovery!
