How do I get the .png files from Icon packs? - Themer General Discussion

Sorry if this is the wrong section.. But is there a way I could get all icons separately from a free icon pack instead of just the .apk?

do a google search see if the icons are free and available then download them,you can't take specific icons from a theme

If it is just a icon pack and you are rooted you can move the .apk from device/data/app to a folder in your /sdcard. Rename the .apk to .zip and extract it. One of the folders will contain all of the .png files. I use ES File Explorer, settings Root and Show Hidden Files.

I have been using Theme X to break out iconsets into .png files.

You can just move the apk to your pc and open it with winrar... then just extracr drawables folder!

System Fonts

There are 4 selectable Fonts on my SGP5, and an option to downlaod additional ones. I can't seem to find the font folder that these fonts are located (don't appear to be in System/Fonts folder). Is there a way to add fonts (into whatever folder the optional fonts are), without rooting?
You can get apk fonts then manually install them. After installation, the fonts would appear as part of the choices. No root needed

Hi,
When I search using Root Explorer on my SGP5, I see a bunch of .ttf files (truetype font files).

Where? (other than System/fonts)? Looking for that choco cookie one, I figure if that's not in a system folder, I could just drag ttf fonts there. I'll look for an apk to install them.

If you have a rooted device, you can use the "Font Installer" app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
It has a HUGE number of fonts for you to choose from.

Hi,
Sorry. I forgot to mention the directory. Yes, they're in /system/fonts (lower-case 's' on 'system') on my SGP5.
BTW, I think that you can't just drop the .ttf files into the directory. I think (not sure) that there's also some kind of associated XML file somewhere that is needed (again, not 100% sure).
Jim
I didn't see the same fonts in that folder that are in setting options. I agree you can't drag fonts into that folder unless you are rooted. I just find it odd there is an option to download custom fonts from the market "get fonts online" that will install, and not be able to just drag tt fonts into some folder. I have font changer on my rooted Optimus that work great, just haven't rooted my SGP yet. So far no real reason.

---> Question Extracting APKs <--- Pls look

So I know how to extract APKs with APK manager.
However, I want to know, when you extract APKs, where are the images of the APK located?
In which folder when you extract the APK files, are the images?
- It used to be easier back in the day, you would extract and all the images would just be there.
to get images folder you dont need to use apktool/manager.. use 7zip.. then extract. you get res folder .. all images in there... you find which one you to replace and rename to it, drag n drop to corresponding folder ur renamed one after opening apk in 7zip... no need to sign apk or whatver

Yes, but not all the images are there.. Where are the rest of the images?

Most of the images should be there but if not you will have to either go through all of the lies to find them or you can search for them.

Installing themes from MCS

So i found some themes that are really nice on MyColorScreen and i want to install
let's say this one http://mycolorscreen.com/2014/03/07/4c/ which also included the zip
so how do I install that zip?
or do i have to set it up manually with widget by widget?
Thanks in advance
download the zip file for the theme
attach your device to your pc/laptop
browse your device internal storage and fine mycolorscreen folder
in there you will find a folder named themer
inside is a folder named exported,simply copy the zip file into the zip folder there
then you can install via themes on your device under the exported tab

you're welcome forgot to mention if you want to preview the theme,simply rename the wallpaper the same as the theme name,ie if theme is called blue,rename the wallpaper blue and then copy this into the themer/exported/thumbs folder
Thanks

If by modding you mean changing icons, theming drawables etc. , Then you can use ES File Explorer from The Google Play Store to unzip the apk. Do whatever theming you want, then re-zip the folder and change the extension of the .zip to .apk

Firecube app icon location

Hi guys,
Does anyone know the location of the app icon that the Firecube uses to display on the home screen etc? I've tried all the usual drawable folders but can't get it to display.

Yes, but within the apk where does the image that the Firecube uses live?

Within its resources. Each APK file is just a zip archive, so you can try to extract it with any zip utility (e.g. 7zip). The resources will be extracted and can be viewed

Thanks, but I've already checked all the drawable folders and searched for png and jpg files but I can't find the logo that is used on the Firecube. It appears to be a different logo than the one used on a Firestick.
