Extract Icons from device - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone got a "Quick n Easy" way to extract ALL the application icons from my device at once. ? Just the icons, thats all i want.
Maybe an app to do it or a script ?
Thanks.

Try find it in the apk file using winrar on your pc.

No you misunderstand i want ALL the icons from my device.....
Problem sorted tho , /system/app ~ zipped the whole folder with root explorer and pushed to desktop. Still not what i wanted to do , but i can just open the archives with 7zip and drag out what i want from res/drawable
Pain really as i have to do each app individually....oh well
Thanks anyway :good:
EDIT : /data/data as well lol.
Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day

that one doesn't look nearly as well done imo.
A single icon isn't supposed to come out of the corner, etc...
This one is perfect.
What is the difference between corners and fast corners?
which one is better?
here's the quote
"What's Fast Corners?
I've made the fade animation when tapping a corner instant so that the corner expanding animation plays more smoothly. Basically this just reduces the number of simultaneous animations going on resulting in less work. Even on my HDPI Samsung Galaxy S this made a slight difference in performance. The tweak is non-trivial and the change is extremely minor but for users with LDPI and MDPI devices this should improve that animation."
I actually tried both, and I recommend fast corners. Seems to look much smoother, though both are awesome
I can't get it working!! Copied home 854x480 to system app but home is not available!!

@djkekko89 : Maybe try renaming it to Home.apk and then move to system/app, fix permissions, & reboot. Or uninstall your current Home(have another launcher installed so you can still use your phone) and then try installing normally. Not sure if either will work but it's worth a try...
Remember to back up your current Home.apk as these methods will replace it.

So, bad news. SOMEBODY, spilled something on my laptop and now it won't even boot up. So it may be a while. But what you can do is take a existing xrecovery zip, unzip it with root explorer delete everything except "META-INF" folder, create a new folder named "system", enter that folder and create another folder called "app" and then copy the launcher in there, zip it up using root explorer and you have a xrecovery zip

[MOD] Add CRT animation to your ROM

1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
Alternately you can try flashing this template from CWM. CWM-flash-template.zip
Source: [HOW TO] CRT-Effect only
Directory \res\values doesn't exist either in stock (odexed) or infected (dedexed) version of application (framework-res.apk).
EDIT: SOLVED !
yes its available....
did u trie to decompile through apk manager...?

"give me that file" ?
Tutorial works with every FW but not every framework file works with every FW.
Don't you understand that it is individual process, you have to decompile and re-compile YOUR OWN framework-res.apk (regardless of what FW you run on), with mine thousands times modified framework-res.apk you most possibly won't be able to boot the system.

i have one question to d33raj
i am using apktool 5
i copy framework-res.apk form my stock fw from root ex.
i decompile framework-res.apk and edit battery icons and some battery related xml files
when EDITING completed i compaile it again
but the ain thing is new apk file is nearly 5 mb and old apk file 8mb
i use new apk file but its not working for me (booting problem)
so where is the problem ?
plz help me
I really wish I could help you. But I'm not into developing. I did this using the tutorial that I specified as source. Almost all the Samsung Android devices work the same way. You could post your queries in pages of Samsung devices which has plenty of Dev support. Galaxy S and Galaxy S II are the most recommended places.

I guess that could be only changed in strings.xml page of app source. I'm not sure whether you get that file when you decompile an apk, you do get the Manifest.xml file, but that just points to location in strings.xml
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is this something where you change any app's name to your's and say others that it is made by you...

But to be honest i just start it to theme my note 4 and as a beginner im kind of lost in many things but learning and loving it. One thing i can seem to find a way is how to replace or modify .qmg or how would i start ... if its possible to change looks . I notice your theme for dial and wonder how how did he did it..

First of all, google qmg to png converter. Find the one that is an an apk. It will convert and put files right on your phone. Only replace the pngs you want to modify so you don't make the apk too big. As far as the dialer background, you need to write the background in in your styles.xml. it has gotten a little harder on 4.4.4. Look for DeviceDefault and stay there.

Put the icons in whatever folder they came out of.. Probable drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi and delete the qmg or astc file with the same name. You have to search for the colors. They are not all in one place.
