Did you ever figure this out... I know we can change the icons but only built in one's show up
If your rooted, you could use a file explorer app like root explorer to go into data/app and find your themes appicon folder. Inside you will see a base.apk. You can copy that base.apk onto your phone and extract it, or pull it onto your pc and extract it. Inside you will see a res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13 folder. The icons are in there. Save them in a folder on your phone and manually edit your icons in Nova on your homescreens and /or folders to replace icon.
I know it sounds like a bunch of work, but it really doesn't take that long. It's about the only way you can do it.
Here's what the folders for the themes look like in data/app.....

I've been trying to make a similar change. I'm using the Sense 7 Launcher and the only icon I have left is the "Apps" icon. I'd like to change it out with this icon.
I have looked in data/app/com.htc.launcher-1 and copy that base.apk to a different location on my phone. Opened the base.apk. Found res/drawable/all_apps_button_icon.xml
My question is what is the best way to convert my image to an .xml and replace the one in the base .apk so I can paste it back into the original location?
Ugg. I sure hope that made sense?

Yes, as long as all those steps are done in that order. It's okay, but yours are way better than I've seen in the HTC Themes store
Google+ in the blink feed is the only thing that isn't working yet for our phone

Thanks. My AnaKonda theme got released in the Sense themes about 3 weeks ago. I think it's in the others section. But those themes are pretty simple and don't really get into deep theming.
Sweet. I hope it gets lots of hits. Can you see how many downloads it has?

Not sure what format they need to be in, but here is what appears to be the .psd template for those icons:
http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/android/Android Launcher Pro Custom Icon Template Text Version.psd
They need to be in png format. That file is used to make custom icons with photoshop I believe. Unfortunately I don't have a computer so.. i need the png files.
You all just didn't look hard enough. There is a directory for all of his icons. Took me all of half a minute to find.

The files can be edited in photoshop, the only layers visible should be the text that you want to see as the icon.
After you get them how you'd like, save them as PNG files and copy them to your SD card and you're good to go.
can somebody just turn them into .png n post them plz

.... yes of course, but, the folder icon not reflect the content in the folder. GoLanucher permits to create a "live icons" or a "widget"? that display the contents of folder. I'm looking for an app or widget that do the same thing.
And no, i don't install GoLaucher because is not smoot as ADWex (for me) .

I did search in the Market for 2 minutes. I tried it and think its a bit difficult but it looks to be the only one.
Folder organizer lite (or pro of course)

Why even bother manually creating folders and manually putting things in them and manually doing everything???
Just get Auto App Organizer, Its [email protected] sweet!
It will automatically organize all your apps into categories, These categories can be placed onto homescreen as folders with your choice of icon

So you want to replace the icons with new icons. Do u have the icons u want? And if so you need to pull the the three apks from your phone and open them and find the icons and change them with what you want. Then put them back in your systems/app folder and restart your phone if that's what u are talking about anyways
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
If you just want to change the icons, Find some you like and use the app (free) Desktop Visualiser
its as simple as that.
If you want to theme the whole app, Use 7zip to open the apk, Look inside the /res /drawable and modify all the icons and pngs with photoshop or other software.
idk what you want to change , but in every app + system app , if you open it with winrar or 7zip you will find folder called (RES) inside the app in this folder you will find three folders that contain the icons that the app display , from there you can change the icons , make sure it has the same dimensions.
PS: if its not system app then you have to ask the dev permission .
hey,

The phone and contacts images are both in the contacts.apk and the messaging is in the mms.apk. From memory I think they are in the drawable-xhdpi and are labeled something along the lines of ic launcher phone, contacts mms.

Use adb to push them back to the phone.
If you don't know, learn. Don't always rely on clockwork.
Hey guys, does anybody know the location for the stock touchwiz icons. For example i am using the apex launcher and i would like to use dolphin browser as my default browser in the dock on the main screen. However i would like to keep the stock internet icon. I know you can change the icon for the shortcut i just have no idea where it is. Any ideas?

I don't believe there is any way to get at them strictly via the file explorer. However, if you download one of the the TouchWiz ROMs on here, you can extract the icons from there and just copy them over to your phone. I believe they're in the framework apk, which you can extract with 7zip or what have you, but I'm not in a position to check right now (not supposed to download random stuff like that on my work computer).
Well the stock Internet apk is located in two files: /system/app/SecBrowser_VZW.apk and system/app/Sec_BrowserVZW.apk.odex
I'm thinking the icon would be in that directory. To be safe, I'd actually download a stock rom and pull the app from there and mess with it. I wouldn't pull it from your current phone just in case you messed something up.

Here is a link to a tutorial I wrote on editing .9.png files. It's part 2 of 3 but the most directly aapplicable to what you are trying to do.
It links up with the other two parts at the top of the post, so if you need to catch up on using some of the tools from part 1, it's right there.
SOLVED
SlimSnoopOS - Exactly where you said they would be. Followed your instructions and downloaded a TW ROM from XDA. One question though. when i get into SecBrowser_VZW.apk i see that there is a couple different versions of the icon. Would it be best for me to always try and grab the highest resolution one that i can find.
Jarredw - Amazing. Thank you.
Blue6IX - If i understand this correctly, with this guide i can edit the icon from within the apk itself so i don't have to use a custom icon with APEX Launcher? If so that is awesome, im just wondering if it would affect updating of the app?
You'd have to re-add the icon and recompile the .apk file each time it updated.
I mostly threw it here so you could learn how to extract the icon, which someone else did for you while I was typing it up.
Anyways, now you can freely edit icons for any apps you have on the device, at the very least extract all the ones you want to keep around.
Ya, that's what i figured. Thank you.

It makes homescreen icons with a custom image or icons from other apps. Can't believe nobody here heard of this. Its how most people theme their homescreen.

Hi,
I've just installed the Android 4.3 cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20130909-UNOFFICIAL-crespo) on my Nexus S and everything is ok, but I don't have the "Google" icon. This is the icon from where you can launch the google applications like gmail, play, etc. Is it in the 4.3 at all? It is very useful for me and would like to use it.
Thanks,

Looks like you're talking about the folder on the homescreen with all the Google apps in it?
If so, you can make your own easily. Put one app on the homescreen. Then drag another app on top of it and it will magically become a folder. You can add a whole bunch of apps to the folder in the same way, rearrange them however you like, and change the name of the folder to whatever you want.
