Installing icons that aren't in an mtz file? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So far the only way I know how to install icons is when they are in an mtz file. I just put them in my miui>themes folder.
There are icons that I really like but they are all .png's. I hate using desktop visualizer, theres gotta be another way? Thanks
All phone info is in my sig.

make backup of current theme
copy backup.mtz to your computer, open with 7zip (do not extract), plug your .pngs in where you want them, push it back to your MIUI folder, open theme manager, switch to a different theme and then switch back to the backup

Is anyone successful in extracting this Galaxy Tab wallpaper?
http://www.55tablets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/samsung-galaxy-tab.jpg
That's not an official Honeycomb wallpaper, at least not that I know of.
You can grab them all here. The one I use is Glowy Hex, looks awesome on my Tab:

}
The beauty is that you don't need to rebuild the launcher2.apk to insert those images... if you sync your tablet with a Google account, all you have to do is upload your preferred wallpaper to Gallery and use it as background.
If you ever flash your tablet or do a permanent erase, once you restore your Google account, it will also restore your background even if the image is not present anymore in your tablet sdcard. I was surprised to see that, when I did a complete wipe. It took a while, but eventually the background popped... I don't remember if it showed after I restarted the tablet... I know that after the initial app re-sync it was not there but it showed like magic 15-20min later on my tablet.
I don't suppose anyone has the TouchWiz wallpapers in a zip file?

Thanks for this, good work also im running the black and red and its sweet
I am rooted but when I try to install it simply says Application not installed. Do I need to flash this in recovery or manually put it in my system folder or something other than installing it normally?

You have to extract its contents like the op says there is 6 apk files in that zip

Yes, I know. I did that. When I extract them and then try to install blue.apk it fails on me. I'll try the mediafire one this time and see if maybe something happened to my downloaded dropbox one.
Edit - Yep, still won't work for me. I am running the gingerbread-shift-deck rom if that matters. Seems weird considering I could install the updated market posted by thronnos a few days ago.

Quick way of making your own
Quick way to make your own is to edit image without extracting the zip in linux or windows <<< i think
right click on zip
open
do not extract
open
when the window opens
double click on boot folder
then right click on image
open with gimp image editor
if you dont have gimp i really think you need it i love it lol
when window open with image
click edit then clear
then drag and drop the image you want there move center shrink or strech edit the image
click save
not save as but save
it will ask you to update zip
click update
done
rename it
This post is for people that dont have linux or gimp and want to give moboot some shine flash and go types lol
I screwed up. I downloaded the blue command jpeg copied it to /boot and renamed it to moboot.background.tga
Now TP won't boot. I can get to USB mode.
How can I put the proper moboot.background.tga that I have downloaded. Push it with adb?
Or,
I still have a backup of another moboot theme in that boot folder called moboot.background.bak. How can I deleted the current moboot.background.tga and rename the .bak to moboot.background.tga?
EDIT:
Using Webos doctor to repair and I'll be fine from there

By font changer! I don't think so.. because there are 3 files in this zip to change the whole font!
And moving fonts to system/ fonts means ur phone is rooted

Looks like its spinning cause it's searching thru the emulator (SDCARD0) should be searching thru SDCARD. See if you can get to settings and click on preferences, then second set is the backup folder location. Click it, set search whole device, tthen when it's done select use current device. Hopefully this help.
