Been playing with ultimite nonsense Rom...
Loving it for being smooth and stable..The only thing i don't like is aosp contacts and dialer..
I tried replacing dialer.apk with HTCdialer.apk and also added HTCcontacts.apk...
I can see contacts but dialer doesn't appear... When i open people, it shows phone in bottom tabs but when i select it, it disappears...
Any way or extra files needed to get it back?

Hope someone can help ? In my start menu, I've 'lost' the icon themes for HTC People, HTC Music, HTC Calendar and HTC Twitter. Each icon now simply appear like default Blue Framed Folders. The applications work fine when clicked. If I delete the icons, shut down and restart, they simple reappear incorrectly ?
No idea what I've done !! ? Hope this makes sense ?!
Help !
I've got a similar issue. I have a two 'People' and 'Music' Icons apprearing and the second copy of these also apprears as a blue framed folder.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, is this a bug and is there a fix?
I've got the same problem, after installing the Puremind BG4alltabs&16 shortcuts.cab deleting the cab won't restore the HTC icons
Same problem here after i installed Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab
after the first restart not only the htc icons were doubled ia also lost the icons of my custom created shortcuts bu they reappeared after deleting and recreating the shortcuts.
But the doubled htc shortcuts are not deletable they reapear after every reboot....

I've got this issue as well, also after installing Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (to get the additional quick links).
Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome.
Moved as not theme release.
mine did the same thing all you have to do is go to settings then security the factory reset.......just make sure when you do it you save all of your information to your memory card because it will delete everything thats on the device.
Isn't there another solution than just doing a factory reset ?
Maybe someone can upload the original icons here. I would expect the problem to be resolved if we then just copy those original icons back into the windows folder.
I had the same problem on my TP2 a while back, no solution other than a H-Reset
still no solution?
too bad. i hate reset it.
Solution on this thread... Sort of...

Gets rid of the icons being reproduced all together.
please upload all of the icons here. thanks in advance =)
So miui had been great and allows us to customize our own icon on launcher. So I thought maybe we can share our icons here for theming needs.
Some background for those who are not aware of what this is.
In MIUI, at first boot after flashing, miui will rip through your list of apps in /data/app/ and extract the icon associated with that app and put it into the "/data/system/customized_icons_1" folder. For instance, if I have the appbrain app on my /data/app/, there will be a corresponding PNG file in /data/system/customized_icons_1/com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps.png.
Now what do you do with this PNG file?
First of it's an image file, and if you do theming or for some reason you don't like the default icon, you can certainly replace them with newer icon.
So cool, how do I replace the default icon?
OK, so go find an icon of your choosing in PNG format and specific size (check mine for sample). Rename your new PNG to the exact same name of the app, so in my example the new icon I downloaded named "someofthepic.png", then I'll rename it to "com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps.png" to match with appbrain.
After you renamed it, upload these to /data/system/customized_icons_1/ and reboot your phone. You will then have a brand spanking new icons.
This process can be applied to newly installed apps as well.
CREDIT: these icons are from Suave HD theme I got over miui forum.
I know the app but not sure what is the related "system" name of the app, what do I do?
Head over to http://www.androlib.com/, put in the name of your app, in my example it'll be "appbrain" and search. Scroll to the middle of the page, the section above screenshot will have what is call a "Package Name". This is the one that you need to copy&paste.
EDIT: these customized icons will only work if your apps are located on /data/app and if MIUI launcher parsed it to create an icon in /data/system/customized_icons_1 folder. For maps and other which is system apps, you will have to tinker with the apk itself or the framework-res.apk
Thanks for the write-up, I swapped a couple of icons (Yahoo!, facebook, ScanLife and Spare Parts..) and plan to make more custom icons to match for the others I have installed now..
Great guide. Already been doing this since miui started on the evo, but go od to show others
-Swyped away on my addiction
Thanks for the how to! Already put my newfound knowledge to use!
cool dudes, glad it helps out...
After following the steps to change the icons. It worked after the reboot but after subsequent reboots, Miui reverted back to the original icon. I am using version 11.5 stable. Any thoughts as to why this may be occurring?

Same here. Some of the ones I changed are still my custom icon, where the others reverted back to the original ones.
I'm trying to change my Google maps app icon and I cant
Yup I got it to work but after a couple of reboots and and some mounts to the computer, some of them reverted back to default and after a check inside the customzied_icon folder they had reverted there to and after a delete of the file and a copy with the new icon it directly reverted back.

I had the icons there and reboots countless of times but not reverting back. What you experience is that might be some of the apps got updated in market and therefore, icons revert back obviously, and yes you have to replace them again.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find the folder "/data/system/customized_icons_1" anywhere, not on my phone, or on my sd card
Hello all,
I am trying to tinker with the phonebook apk so that the deafult contact picture is the one I want.
I am on Wolfbreaks latest rom and have tried for about a week to find the correct image in the drawable folders of the contacts apk without any luck.
The image I am looking to change is the one on the left of a contacts name in the alphabetical list of contacts.
(Circled in red in this screenshot)
If anyone can give me the correct path to find it I will be very very grateful.
I have sent a PM to wolfbreak but he is obviously very busy and probably gets hindreds of messages and I dont want to spam his thread.
I am looking to change the image to a png of an android like my avatar of to the honeycomb bee (I use siwanthas honeycomb theme)
Also, I imagine i can just rename the file I want and replace it in the apk, just make sure it is the right size (81x81 I think)...will i need to get the apk signed?
EDIT: just realised, it may be in the siwanthas honeycomb theme apk.....
try these
howdy Mate,
in the contacts.apk
under res/drawable-hdpi/
i changed the bunch of images called
spb_contact_photo_default_#_icn.png (# is a number from 1 to 8)
i also changed these to match.
spb_contact_photo_default_pivot_#_icn.png (# is a number from 1 to 8)
if you install your theme then grab the contacts.apk then edit and push back it should work.
see attached pic to see the images changed
hope this helps
Pvy
Many thanks....
I now have it done with a picture of the honeycomb bee as default picture....
Too easy mate, happy modding
glad it worked.

Hello,
I ve been trying to change my default call icon (for unknown contacts) when receiving a call with ninjamorph... I opened phone.apk and found icon, changed it and nothing happens... It does change when I open preview in Ninjamorph... I think I probably changed the wrong icon because there are hundreds of them, most of them I never saw on my phone...
Can somebody tell me which one to change? There are some general tutorials but I cant find the directories and filenames they are refering to...
Of course, phone is rooted, running Destiny 2.1 ROM...
I would also like to change that awful phone animation when making a call if possible...
Thank you very much
change the icons in
DialerTabActivity.apk
I tried, changed some icons in drawable-Ldpi in dialertabActivity.apk but still nothing happens, not even in dialer screen
I applied and finished Ninjamorph project, and when it is done I can see by starting the project again that icons are changed indeed but still nothing changes...
Could you please be more specific about what icons to change?
well...
to be on safe side. check all *contact*.png pictures
the icon you search may have the naming like
default_icon...
unknown_contact_icon...
or something like that
the G3 is ldpi but sometimes (dont know when or why) the icons from mdpi folders are taken
therfore to be on safe side, just exchange all pngs which may sound like that
in framework-res.apk there are also some default icons...
maybe one of them is taken? Dont know.
My gf just updated her phone to ICS and she kinda hates it.
The biggest gripe is the profile pictures, very few have them and she doesnt want to see the placeholder image everywhere.
So, is there a way to completely disable her phone from displaying contact pictures everywhere?

Hopefully I'm understanding... If you edit a contact, and press on the picture image next to their name, you will get a menu to delete it.
They dont have pics to begin with and she doesnt have a desire to take pics of all of her contacts. They all display a black silhouette of a person , but wewant to see nothing at all. This displays in text convos, her list of People and when people call her.

I believe the default pic is embedded in the contacts.apk. I've been wondering how to change that also.
I've seen the process and it's been a while since I have done it.
Basically you need to decompile the contacts.apk, replace the icon (under /res directory) then recompile the apk and copy back on to your phone.
This is a very generic description of what needs to be done. Google decompile apk, or replace contacts icon in contacts.apk and do some reading. You'll be a hero.
Also if you really don't want anything to show up as picture, maybe replace it with a transparent.png.
I'm gonna pipe in here and say that Mr. Steele is exactly correct. The picture you see it a default in the contacts.apk, however, while you could fix this, if you are unfamiliar with decompiling apk's, recompiling, and signing, then you could have an issue. ADB will be your best bet to pull the apk successfully, but be careful with system apk's as they can be troublesome to get to work properly without sending yourself into a bootloop.
Meh, i was hoping for a setting change to just not display the image to begin with.
I have an Atrix running GB and im now not looking forward to staring at that placeholder image the entire time i use my phone...
