You have to Modify
\res\drawable-hdpi\home_stage_bg.png

the default home_stage_bg.png is only suit for the default blue theme and wallpaper...haha...

Hi,
Any chance, you post your Home.apk when you are done? I would like to have it as well and the versions in the thread you mentioned are not for my build.
Thank you,

This is not development, so moved to Q&A
Pull your framework-res and have a look, or the apps apk and change it directly.
What im trying to do is add icons to a theme im making , ive added some which i had to rename in order for them to replace some of thr default icons for apps when activating the theme. But i would like to replace some other default icons but i need to find out what to rename my custom icons too in order to replace the remaining default app icons when i activate the theme (adw launcher)

I had the same issue with my modded theme ADW theme, you need to pull the apps such as "Conversations.apk" which is basically MMS.apk on 1.6 and either change the icon in the apk itself or rename the icons in the theme to what they are now called in 2.1, and the only way you'll find that out is by pulling the apks and opening them.
Ferk.... alot of digging around , after ive found as many as i can that work ill post a list of what to rename your icons to in your theme to replace the default icons. If you or anyone else already knows some can ya post it to help out thanks
Looking for stuff like this .....
Shortcut icon to the camera is named ....
Com_camera_cameraactivity
(or something like that)
So i would need to rename my icon from icon.png to com_camera_cameraactivity.png , then place it in the theme apk using eclipse , under a folder named /res/drawables_hdpi/ .
After that i would install the theme and the camera icon will have changed to the icon i want.
So thats the info we require ; the correct icon renames for as many apps as posible .

Hope this Helps!
Use a program called better cut to install them
Thanks i'll try it!!
EDIT: i tried bettercut but it only change icons on the homescreen.
I want to change them in the menu where all apps are listed.
Afaik u cant change your icons manual. U need to install a Theme for ADWlauncher or something. Some themes rewrites your icons with Metamorph, but be careful: u need to reflash your device if u use Metamorph Icons.
Best way i found is this, it changes them in all location...

[Q] How edit framework-res or SystemUi to change status bar icons

Hi guys, like the title says, I'm searching for a way to edit the framework or the SystemUI apk to get rid of the icons. I would like to use the AOSP's ones but without using Xposed. Most of this because using overlays or themes it change the icons but when they're black, signal and data keeps white and that looks very bad. I'll leave an attachment. I've found only two tutorials on XDA but the one's from 2013 (JB, or KK idk) and the other is for Lollipop and both are very different and it confuses me so much. So, I beg for anyone who can help and I can do it (a tutorial, steps, something) and I will share with everyone in themes section the results!
Thanks in advance.
It should be inside SystemUI.APK, decompile it and change appropriate icons in hdpi, xhdpi and xxhdpi. If you have time, you may even want to change those in ldpi and mdpi.
