If u are using tarunagg's themes than visit his thread named- change background in themes or so...
For the application icon- decomplile apk edit the icon under res/ drawable or drawable-hdpi. I dont remember the file name. But u will come to know easily after decompiling! After editing recompile it!
Sent from my GT-I9003 CM9
It is in system/framework/framework-res/drawable-hdpi and its name is default_wallpaper. Replace it with another one, close and thats it. It is easy to find because the rest of files are png and xml. Good luck!!
Edit: u dont need to decompile anything. Open with 7zip remove old jpg, introduce new one and when u close, 7zip will say: the file framework-res.apk has been modified. Would u like to update it? Press yes and thats all...

I've always wondered, how were you able to change the icons for the stock arc launcher? Don't have my x10 with me now so I can't try and test it out for myself, but if you could share it'd be very much appreciated

For replacing just images you can open the apk with 7-zip or winrar (open like a folder, do not extract). You can change the extension to zip first or just right-click and choose 7-zip>Open Archive. Then navigate to res/drawable-hdpi & res/drawable-land-hdpi and drag in your replacement images. Click 'yes' on the dialog that pops up and then close the archive(apk) and rename back to apk if you changed to zip in the first step.
It's a good idea to have a copy of your image folders extracted somewhere so you can easily view the images and edit them.

Yes, of course- just the ones you want to replace.
And images ending in .9.png need decompiling/re-compiling to change properly.

Screens please
Imagine blue theme with black colorbut with transparent settings,phone...framework and sysUI is not included in new one's so it will work with every version of 2.3.3
really nice,
I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.
Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??
Thanks
PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)
If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! good luck

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.
If someone could explain the process that would be great.
you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.
The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?
I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?
I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.
Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*

Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now?

do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.
Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.
Do you guys know how to replace the icons on the app drawer??
any way like flashing it?
thanks...
fastest way : use one of the launcher (go launcher,adw,etc) and then download the theme....
other way : decompile,change icon, compile back some apk (CMIIW)....but I never try it before, so I don't know which apk you must decompile.... sorry for that...

You have to change the apk's icons one by one if you don't use any launchers that supports icon packs (stock launcher)

Hi guys, after getting so many requests on my Sweet ROM thread for this icons or that icons I thought I would show you the easiest way so that you can change your own.
Please note this guide is based on Windows operating system
You will need:
A computer with Windows
7zip (free program available HERE)
systemUI.apk from your current rom
systemUI.apk from rom (or mod) with icons you want
some brains
1. Extract systemUI.apk that you are using in your rom and place it where you want it on your pc.
Right click on the systemUI.apk and select 7zip/Open archive. This open up the apk and you can now see the folders inside.
You now need to open res folder, locate drawable-xhdpi folder and drag this out to your pc.
Once it has copied over open the new drawable-xhdpi folder on your pc and here you will find a heap of png images.
Download this file and extract the folder from it. Here you will find all the Status Bar Icon images. So looking through them you will recognise battery, wifi, bluetooth etc images that show on your status bar. these are the images you need to change for different themes, eg S4 white icons etc.
2. Now open the systemUI.apk with the images you wish to add and copy out the drawable-xhdpi folder.
Now in this folder locate & copy the images you want over to the drawable-xhdpi folder you created in Step 1.
3. Once you have copied all the new images you need to re-open the archive of your rom systemUI.apk from Step 1. with 7zip.
Now open res folder and delete the drawable-xhdpi folder from in the archive.
4. Drag your new drawable-xhdpi folder (with your new images inside) into the 7zip archive.
Once this has been copied over to you 7zip archive use the green arrow (under the Add button) to go back up a level until you are at systemUI.apk. Now with it highlighted use the "Test" button to make sure it is ok.
Now we can close 7zip and you should have your systemUI with new status bar icons.
5. Make a backup of your rom (just in case) and push your new systemUI.apk back to your phone either manually with Root Explorer (or similar file manager) and set permissions rw--r--r-- or flash it from cwm.
For a flashable zip please see majdinj's flashable zip how to HERE
I hope this quick guide can help some of you learn to make your own simple icon mods.
Some examples of different Status Bar themes you can make this way

winrar or 7zip?? , what are in drawable ldpi actually? it's the actual file or new??
Use Winrar or 7zip it doesn't matters.
Ldpi folder contains image for low device resolution.
If you replaced nothing in this folder then it's the actual file but you should replace your image in the correct folder according to your screen resolution.
