launcher has icons in drawable-hdpiv4 folder in res folder i put custom those icons naming ic_launcher_phone.png singed with singApk also Apktool both are giving 'appliction not installed' error.
anybody can help me plzz.....
press long on the icon and then choose custom icon and search for your icone that you need
icon can be changed using desktop visualizer app but
that icon cant be placed on Dock Bar
need to know how to edit launcher so that i can place custom icons which are not there????
I really like the txt msg and gmail notification bar icons that chingy uses in gingeritis....anyway to get those for other roms?
Download the Rom you want icons from and the Rom you plan to use on a pc. Use winrar or 7zip to open un the zip files. Navigate to system, then framework, then it'll either be in framework res.apk, or com.htc.resources.apk. if the icons aren't in either of those it may be in systemui.apk (because its gingerbread which I haven't used) this is located in system, then app. It may be easier to find the icons by unzipping the Rom you want the icons from (in order to unzip an apk you need to first zip it and rename it .zip instead of .apk then unzip)
Check out UOT Kitchen
UOT Kitchen gives you some customization options for Battery, Icons, ect... May not be exactly what you are looking for but its fun to customize things and it's pretty idiot proof. You upload your files, make the changes, it spits out a ZIP, you flash it in recovery.
I use BAMF but I hate the battery icon it defaults with so I just change it after every update to the Rom they push out.

Normally the text and gmail (and email) icons are stashed in their own .apk file. I just changed mine over the weekend to match my other colorful icons. I had to edit the Mail.apk, Gmail.apk and Mms.apk to get those icons to show up. The framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk (GB ROM) is where you will find the other icons for signal, battery etc..
I use ADB to copy those files out, make the changes put them back and then reboot the phone. You could also make the changes and then put them in a flash-able zip to be flashed via recovery
Added Blue and Black theme
Honeycomb Blue and black theme, combination from all themes available for our TAB, i used parts from AF's JQ8 release,overcome 7 and from Nautious theme, (i like to thank the guys for releasing those roms/themes so i can use them) i just put the stuff together to my taste and maybe you like it too, If you do, download file blue.theme, unpack the zip and push the apk's with adb or replace with root explorer.
The screenshot , you only see the blue taskbar icons but it is all over the menus and so on, it is a combination of blue´,black and misty white.
============================================================================================================================================
Green default stock theme - Attached you will find the files needed to have CRT screen off animation and ICS Animation on JQ8 firmwares, i also included a mod in systemui.apk for the replacement of the system switch icons nothing fancy but better then the default ugly ones, see screenshot, in the mediaprovider.apk i changed the sdcard icons what you see when it is scanning the cards for media. sorry dont have pic of that one. I also changed the settings page into black instead of white.
The boot animation file is from overcome 2.0 serie it is the blue android bootanimation one if you have it before. Thats all.
You will need to replace the APK's with root explorer or push it with adb, the boot animation you can flash with cwm, i use JQ8 with Overcome Kernel 4.0.
The ics animation will be at its best if you use a other launcher then the default one, with the default one you dont have the animations on switching between application or close the application and going back to the previous window. I am running this all lag free and it is a very nice addon for the great release of JQ8
O BTW, i am in noway responsible for any damage what so ever when you use this.
Cheers

If you cooked it as you say you would know, icons are in systemUI apk and framework apk
They ain't overly difficult to replace
You don't even need to make a cwm zip, just edit, use root explorer and overwrite originals in /system/app, framework will cause fc/hot reboot, systemUI crashes statusbar (ofc), and best to hot reboot afterwords anyways

i didn't mean through the Android kitchen... i can't figure out how that works to decompile the framwork and systemui apks...
i did it through the UOT which is a UI wizard to help you ..
and it doens't replace the data icon..

Follow the instructions from the link in my signature (image replacement). You don't have to endure the crashes with manually replacing them if done correctly.
OK guys here is the deal, I wanted to create a theme that combined the status bar of this theme:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eme.motoblur.free&feature=more_from_developer
with the icons of this theme (because the moto ones are fugly) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz.free&hl=en
So what I came up with is called motowiz
Installation instructions:
1. Make sure you are on a CM9 based rom that has the T-Mobile theme Chooser installed
2. Move the apk to system>app
3. Change perms to rw-r-r
4. Reboot
5. Apply theme (it'll say something about not being compiled right, just hit apply anyway)
Note: It must be installed manually because its not signed, idk how to do that.
Features:
TW4 icons
Motoblur4 status bar
4G icon instead of H
