Where are the Icon PNG files for the HTC Mail, Messaging, Camera, Dialer, etc. apk files? They have always been in res>drawable-hdpi folder, inside the apk file, but i cannot find them in sense4.0. Can someone who knows exactly where they are located, please let me know? thanks

drawable xhdpi
none
4.0 couldn't be more different than 3.0 if it had to be, images are scattered everywhere compared to 3.0. If you look in contacts, you don't even see a contact.png image, where they used to be.
The changes are so many that it would take me 20 years of typing. In the end, you just have to look for what you want, and half the time after you edit them, they wont compile anyway.

I beg to differ, but no they are not. do you know where they are and if so, what the name of the png file is for the messages and mail icons.

I love my vibrant without a doubt. But I wish our icons were as eye catching as iphones... I keep googling for two months.. sure ive found some icons but just basic ones like phone icon, text, notepad, sms, and most of them are crappy quality because they arent original iphone icons just look a likes or remakes
Can someone help me find preferably new iphone icons from their newest firmware.... a complete set would be great.
Thank You!!!

Icons on our phone are just png files. Any png file with the right size will do. There are various apps on the market to change icons on the home screen. If you want to change it in the app drawer too you can use apk manager to extract each apk you want to change. Swap out the icon in the res/drawables, zip it back up and sign it again.

What is the correct size of the png icons that would most likely resemble the iphone icons?
I feel like alot of icons I find online are too small.

well the default samsung messaging, gallery, video and so forth are 72x72 but I guess smaller icons would work too, even if they are a bit grainy.
Edit: The iphone icons in the above website are 120x120 so they are higher resolution than our default ones. I tested it by swapping out the calculator icon in TouchWizCalculator.apk in system/app. It works nicely.
I want to make the incoming call screen look like the image attached, but I don't know which file I should work with. I searched framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk,
BlurPhone,apk for the images to replace, but I didn't find anything.
Does anyone know which file contains the images?

Hi, matchung
Thank you for your reply.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I want to change the looks of the sliding bar, not that little green android. I'm using a 2.3.4 ROM.

Hi, i saw this post and wanted to change the Phone.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\picture_unknown.png because in CM7 nightly its a grayed person not a green android so i got a phone.apk from a nexus s extracted the png, and when i extracted mine from phone.apk i realize that its the same but it still shows the grayed person :/
Anybody now how to change it to the green droid in the first post ?
EDIT:
I think i got it, its in my honeybread theme apk, ill try to make the change and post results...

I found the files. But they're not in phone.apk, but in BlurPhone.apk.
I don't have Phone.apk.
And I still don't know how to get the same effect as the attached.
Could you give me detailed guide?

ok, find a way to do this.
if use system theme, then you should edit the blurphone?/phone.bak, otherwise, edit the theme apk.
what we need is the resources.arsc, inside root of apk file, u have to find the tool to do so.
find your need, right click on image to replace.
here is what i did.

is there any way you could put up a video tutorial??? about how to change the way the slider looks???
i'm a real noob when it comes to coding and stuff!!
hi.
does anyone know how to change the incoming call style? i realy hate the swipe style. i would like a push style like on iphone...
cheers!
and becauz this is my first post i just wanted to say hi and thanks to all XDA,
Hi all,
Have searched high and low through the net and XDA. Is there such a program that can easily convert any image into a simple apk which just shows the image and able to zoom in zoom out?
Seen quite a few subway route maps app in the market already..
Would like to convert some of my image into a app rather than a shortcut on my homescreen
Is the apk manager program useful here?
No you have the wrong idea of what an apk is. It has alot more to it then images. You will need to write the code for it to interact with the other programs.

Hi!
Thank you sooo much!
I understand that an apk is far more complicated than what it seems to be. But is there a standard script or something that works by just opening up an image?
There's a few I seen in market that works exactly the same only having the images different.
I was thinking if I were to replace the image inside that apk to my image and signing it properly after that, it will work. But the there are alot more of other smaller icon pngs inside which look the same but with different dimensions...

If all your wanting to do is swap the images then you should be OK. Just decompile the apk. Make your changes and the recompile and sign. I have not seen an apk maker app as some of the scripts and code need to be written by hand

hi all
i am trying for a long time and customizing my acro s. i have now come to the part where i want to change the icons in app drawer. ive read and googled alot but cant find any good solution.
is there no easier way to do this than pull the apps from the phone, changing the icon.png and push it back to phone? i dont want to use any launcher!!
do i have to decompile/compile.? or is enough just to open the .apk with 7z and change the .png
regards Drumc
and must still say, its much more easy to theme/custom a jailbroken iphone

If your just swapping the images out you can just use 7z. Personally I like to decompile the apk, swap the images, sign, then recompile but that's just my own personal preference.

damn thats a big work.. isnt it possible just to do it with root explore og something else? root explore opens the xxxx.apk and can view whats inside the drawable folder. or can i just view and not edit? btw what is the icon called? i read some places that the icon file is -ic_launcher_"appname" but youtube, trackid, browser etc, doesnt have this file..

Don't use root explorer to swap the images it's risky to do that on the device (Can cause boot loops). The icons will be in the drawable-hdpi or simmilar named folder such as drawable-mdpi.

Here´s what i did, and that did not work :crying: :
Pulled YouTube.apk from /system/app whit ADB. Opened the .apk with 7z and replaced the ic_logo_square (which is the only file i can find thats look like the icon). replaced the in all the drawable folders, with the right dimensions. 32x32 and 64x64. closed 7z
Pushed the YouTube.apk back to phone into /system/app
Pulled Conversations.apk and replaced the conv_application_launcher.png in drawable-xhdi. only folder where i could find something that looks like the icon. pushed Conversations.apk back to phone.
Rebooted the phone. and voila, nothing has changed at all!!! what went wrong? what else should i do?
ive have also read somewhere, that when changing icons, play-store will not show any updates. is that corect???
question in title. I mean things like the SMS app, dialer, etc. I love the work people are doing with them (dark themes and whatnot) and was just curious as to how they do it. Can be technical, I feel comfortable with all the "android jargon" lol
You'll need something to decompile your apps. If you are working on odex files you'll need to deodex first. Once you decompile your app it'll be broken into 2 folders project and project-smali. You'll focus on the project folder -or- where the folder "res" is.
In there is drawable folders in various DPIs. Those contain the picture files you can edit. Some of the background colors, text colors, and placement of items will be controlled inside of the various XML files.
While in there you could also look around at potential mods in the bools.xml and you COULD remove some of the extra languages if you want to lean it out.

I have sorta played around with them and whatnot and have seen the res folder. so when you go and replace the images and everything, how do you recompile so that they will install fine? I'm rooted of course so I can put them in system and set permissions
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I've found it works best to recompile it using whichever tool you prefer. If it doesn't install nicely you can open the apk with 7zip and pull the compiled images and xml files out to use in either a vrtheme installer or you can open up the stock apk with 7z and copy them in.
There are tons of ways to do things. :good:

I generally don't sign mine. If i themed something that wasn't mine and it could potentially be updated i would want the update to fail due to mismatching signatures in order to keep my theme.
But a way to keep the same signature is to recompile your work, open the new one with 7zip and copy the compiled pngs, xmls, and arsc file at root from the new one and over write the stock one's files using 7zip again. That'll change everything but leave the signature.

ohhhhhhhh okay that makes sense! okay here is a question that could be getting away from the theming, im not sure:
i was playing around with textra (the sms app) just changing the png's to look like ios 7 (lol just for testing). I decompiled, changed some png's, and then recompiled (using apktool). It created a new textra.apk that i then transferred to my phone. i deleted my current textra and installed my new one (successfully) and i can tell my theming worked from a test sms they send you. but when i try to compose a new message, Textra force closes. I rebooted and everything to make sure. Do you think this would be from my attempt at theming, or would it have to do with signing at all? this is where i am really lost lol, considering it installed and everything fine.
