Issue with Changing PlayStore icon in apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have been trying to theme my current installed app's icons using 7zip. i know i want to do this way coz i'm on honami stock launcher which doesnt support iconpacks.... So i can change icon successfully on playstore app apk using 7zip drag n drop replace way, but then after reboot playstore wont open/force close. ( changed in data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk icon. Then i wiped dalvik cache and fixed permissions. So it opens and but it appears like previous version in UI and when i open second time it upgrades to latest version and stock icon back
But i edited the latest apk in data/app/... So any way around this... i know this is strange way of doing it and you may ask?? but i want to keep stock laucher and theme icons .... any help appreciated...

Xperia S apk working on Arconium ICS v7

The following Apk i have tested to work with ICS Arconium v7
Note: always backup your apk before replacing them in system.(just in case something goes wrong you can revert back the original apk.)
Apk for:
1.) Facebook inside xperia
2.) Social pane (timescape)
a. Feed
b. Friends
c. Share
3.) default keyboard for Xperia S
Just copy apk to system /app, change permission and reboot. Open widget then select timescape feed, friends and share.
edit : reuploaded apks as there was an error in infinite view. ok now
None of these are working for me. The keyboard crashes as soon as I hit any key and the timescape widget does not show up in the widget list.
Yes, I am using Arconium ICS v7, I set the right permissions and I rebooted the device.
I can add the widgets but when I open Timescape to configure it, it crashes. I've cleared the data, etc. but no go.
Can you make a cwm zip instead, I think it'd be easiest for ppl to install cause some ppl already messed up -__-
This even ****ed up my data-partition. Re-installing the system and deleting cache/dalvik didn't help to get the keyboard working again. I had to restore a backup.
I will reinstall my system now and do a factory reset. Then I will try this again. Maybe my data partition was corrupted in the first place.
EDIT: Keyboard works now, thanks for this. Now trying Timescape.
EDIT: Got Timescape to work. At first it looked like all is working nicely, but unfortunately there is another error: When trying to view the details of any contact of the phonebook, the phonebook-app crashes.
I am pretty sure it's not my fault this time, because I tried it with a clean install of Arconium with all user data wiped.
You have to delete two files associated with timescape in the original rom then apply the timescape file attache. Check if it works

This is my phone settings
Arconium ICS v7
Stock .562 kernel with CWM
And I just delete two files for timescape and manually copy to system / app all the files and change permission. Make sure to activate in settings/xperia (facebook inside xperia)

Xperia s home apk is not suitable for ics in that the ics based launcher can resize the widget if the widget supports it. So in order to give you the closest experience to xs home apk, I have modded ics home.apk from ics official build to implement the themes and mirror effect. Off course you can get that from my 10in1 mod.

Modding a ROM - Problem with icon size when installing APK

Hello,
I try to mod a rom but I have this problem : I've added apk in /system/app.
After the boot, if I open the applications view, siome of them use little icon and some other normal icon
Launcher used : JB launcher2
Any idea to have the same size for all ?
By the way, if I install an application thru the Playstore, it is the same problem : it will have small icon
Thanks
