[Q] Changing default ROM Icons in WP7

Hi Guys
Editing or “replacing” Windows Phone 7 downloaded app. Icons is fairly straight forward…a BIG thanks to Julien Schapman for making WP Device Manager public so that we can use the file explorer function on the desktop.
Can anyone help or explain to me how to edit a default rom icon? Something like “Internet Explorer” or “Messaging”. It must be possible somehow. In the TouchXperience group on Facebook, someone posted a picture of “the hack of the day” where this was done. See attached picture.
Please Guys. If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.

+1 on this!! I believe xbmod achieved in doing so on his wp7 rom for the hd2. Will love to see it on my HD7 as well

Advanced Config Tool by Julien Schapman is going to be released very soon.
It will also feature editing of system tiles
Looking also forward to that feature

Didnt want to create a new thread so bumping this old one.
Is there a hack to change the default icons in WP7 like for Phone/Messaging etc?

Remove/disable feature from Launcher (Nova)

Hi All, I'm working on a project to set up tablets for educational use. I'm trying to lock down the tablets as much as possible, so users will have access to the things they need, but can't change too much. I've been trying to use Nova Launcher, which has certain features that I need (and haven't found in other launchers eg auto-add apps).
Here's the issue: Even when the desktop is locked, the tablet user is still able to long press anywhere on the tablet and they'll get a message 'do you want to unlock? hold this lock icon to unlock the desktop'
I'm looking for a way to mod the launcher so it doesn't have this feature.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I've looked at tutorials on modding apks and have started the process to unpack etc, but don't really know where to go from there within the apk file.
Thanks!

[Tutorial] Change every icon you want [Newbie-Stuff]

Hello , first of all i dont know english very well so i have problem writing it well lets start with our little project.
And i see some people here ask to change the icons on launcher so here we go.
Well hmm i love telegram but you know what i dont like the color of his icon it has to much on it so but i want more red one and the name i dont like i would preffer better like on my way so its easy its a android application called APK Editor and he has the free and the pro version in this case we need pro but and free version can do the work , with this application you can rebuild entire app and with rpo version you can have the smali files.
Requirements :
Rooted device
APK Editor
Steps :
I made a video because its complicated to write here but i will write and put the video link here.
1) Open app and select the program you wouls like to edit, after you select the program you have 3,4 choice to select what kind of edit you want in this case we want full edit i mean rebuild one so we select the first choice that the program offer to us.
2) After selecting the app you are now on the content of that app so we can go direct to our job ans lets other stuff without touching them so we go under the files tab and select the res folder and find our icons but icons are located at subfolders named drawable so in there we look for our icons we want to change on our case is a icon on launcher and notification so on Telegram app thoose icons are named book_icon.png and ic_launcher.png so there are to much drawable folder because have to many phone different rezolution and diferent api so we must have diferent icona to fit any phone so we have to made some our icons with out dimensions i upload mines here for RED telegram.
3) After finishing go and tab Build on the right corner and uala remove your installed application and install yours (anyway the program will ask you its self).
