i was wondering if anyone knew how to change the icons for the android system settings. since i have a droid, with stock android the system menu icons are all well, crappy. i like how sense ui has colored icons for the system and was wondering if anyone knew how to change them.
are the icons needed for change in framework?

Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
you sir are awsome, thank you.
Something a little close to what the first post was talking about. In the settings.apk I have one that was themed and what to use a few of the pngs in other settings.apk sinse I reflashed with a new rom. I've already push a few back that I changed. The png i what to use is a 4G stat data connected, but the color needs be changed to cyanogen and a little transparent for CM6. What program besides PS4 can I use to do it
Thanks
I know you can use photoshop. Those are greyscale.go to image>mode>rgb, then you can make color. For transparent, use eraser too to delete the background. (Its how I did my stuff)

@turkeylord]....
Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi .......... did this worked for you?? i've been looking to change icons in samsung fimrware for last two months but
no success.........
if anyone can help me out..... i want to change my s7 icons to s8 ported.......i have icon packs....everything but where can i find them in system.img
so that i can change them.... .... i checked firmware-res.apk.....systemui.apk... but didnt work.
I posted this in the nova launcher thread "Can someone please tell me why this launcher doesn't recognize transparency? I just want to use custom icons in the dock without having a black background."
I got responses from multiple people stating that they are able to use transparent icons. I imagine this is only rezound specific. Anyone else having this issue?
So no one else has this issue?
I'm bumping this because I'm also curious, the 3 default dock icons are transparent, but I cannot for the life of me get my own to come up transparent. They come up fine in LauncherPro so I know they are transparent.
*edit*
OP, I figured it out, I don't know why exactly, but when I chose browse files instead of browse gallery they come up transparent.
I think this is rezound specific due to screen resolution maybe. On my galaxy tab I can choose from gallery and transparency works fine, but not on my rezound. I will use select file instead.

I'm using custom icons with transparent backgrounds in my Nova dock. I do see a faint(very very very faint) box around some icons but I can kick that out in editing.
Here is my blue transparent news and weather widget for anyone who would like to use it. Simply side load through something like dropbox or just install like you would any apk. If you already have a genie.apk then either rename it to genie.bak or delete and load this one. I have one other color, green for those who would like it, enjoy!
here it comes...
wow this exactly what i was looking for on my one x ...cheers matey..! :good:
just had another change around and wondered if it's possible to have a light blue widget text
As the title suggests, I want to change the icons on cm10 but without using a different launcher. I use Desktop Visualizer but it doesnt change the icon anywhere other than the homescreen.
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to theme. I actually just want to add my own icons into the apk while keeping the stock theme.
Anyone?
Bump...
I think you'll have to decompile, edit, and recompile all your apks. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think there's an easy way to change all your icons.
You could use MIUI, but I don't think you'd like changing your ROM, if you're unwilling to change launchers.
I'd rather change my launcher if thats the case
guess you cant have everything in life after all
I use icon changer. Only problem with it is that I haven't found how to zoom the icons from icon packs so they are awfully small when selecting.

Yes i tried that too. same problem. with desktop visualizer you can hide the icon label and have it blown up so its a better option imo
I, personally, don't like the rounded folder shape even we are able to change the shape for the app icons. Do we have magisk module or icon pack where we can change the folder shape?
Thanks in advance!
press and hold on the homescreen. go into settings and change folderstyle to your likings.
Reeppeep,
I only have "Change icon shape" after I press and hold on the home screen and select "Home Settings". I don't have the folder style option. Is there a new pixel launcher apk somewhere? The version I have is 9-4928604.
hey, i'm sorry i thought app-icon style is what you were after. kinda misread your question a bit. can't help you with folder style, i'm sorry.
I know it is an old thread, but this question is still relevant. I got a new phone and I hate the dumb round shaped folder icons in Android 8 and 9, with no way to change it. It's crazy, isn't it? Taken from the real world, folders are always square, after all. Yet, we can't have square folder shape in google's skewed digital world, only round ones. App icons can be customized in many, some useless, way. We can have round app icons, square app icons, squarish app icons, teardrop app icons .... but only round folder icons. No customizable folder icons for us, oh no. Doesn't matter that in previous Android versions, at least up to 6, folders were square. Take your round folder icons now and like them. Yep, that makes sense . Screw you , google, that's the kind of stupid stuff that drives people to Apple and iphone.

Use a different launcher.

Enable developer mode. At the end you will find option to change shape of icons. Screenshot attached. Regards

Go to settings> enable developer option > in developer option > themes application: highlight color, title source and icon shape.
that is about folder, not icon, icon we already know how to change shape as the last post above us told
Hi, I didn't find a Solution, but I think this should be better then installing a Launcher (something I don't want to do).
The onle thing it should do the job is removing completely the background color of the folder, see the screenshot.
