Can someone list one (or more) ways in which you can change the icon of a folder or applicaiton.
So, for instance if I created a folder under Start\Programs\ and wanted to give it something other than the plain-jane folder icon...?
thanks.
One other thing...
When you open up Programs it shows your programs icons listed in a 3x4 grid, thus fitting about 12 icons on screen at a time.
Is it possible to view your programs folder in a list-type view?
thanks again!
I'd like to know the answer to this too.

I know how to edit the registry to change the softkeys on the HOME page of the TouchFlo. But I want to change the softkeys on other pages like INTERNET, WEATHER, PROGRAMS, and so on. What do I amend in the registry?
Thanks.
Thats in the programs themselves.

so only can change the HOME but not the others? ok.
Is there a way to change the name and icon of an app that has already been installed on a nonrooted G1?
Get BetterCut.
I knew bettercut worked for creating icons on the desktop but does it also work in the menu?
I would like to know about the name changing also. There's been some apps that just have long ass names! I don't need to see "Chee Wee's Screen Timeout App" when "Screen Timeout" or even "Timeout" would be much better to me
I am looking for this as well. Is there a way? Some of the apps I have installed just have their names cut in the menu and end with "...".
Is this possible without the source? I would like to change my security apps, the ones that I text and it gives me the location? I think a theif would see these apps and delete them after he steals the phone.
IIRC...
you need to unpack the .apk of the file and edit the part to change (icon or name [ i have no idea what they are called] and then rezip and resign and then install again.
Here's a link on how to do it for the ICONs:

Browsing through the 4pda.ru forum i found a nice optimus weather and clock for S2U2 posted by JambazZi and decided to use it on my device. Sadly, weather widgets were not numbered correctly and they were a bit too stretched with a distorted appearance, so i thought i'd make one of my own straight from the original optimus widgets and share it with you guys. After applying the files to gfx folder, set clock alignment to the left, choose option 1 time format and set today's weather forecast to Touch Flo 3D. Lang file provided in the folder contains the modification to DefaultTimeFormat1, needed for the clock to be aligned with the weather widget. I named the clock clockD but you can replace any clock you want or add it as a new clock as long as you modify the lang.ini file. Remember to save file in UNICODE when modifying the lang file and don't save it as text, but "all files" option. Thanks to 4pda.ru & xda-developers member Yurik , who provided me with the original optimus widgets. You can use any wallpaper you like, weather widgets' canvas is transparent. Here's a few screenshots, if you like my work, just hit the thanks button
P.S. Please backup your weather, lang.ini file and clock if you are replacing one of your previous clocks, in order to get back to your initial settings if something goes wrong. Safest way is to edit your personal lang.ini file to have this line, instead of using my lang.ini file, cause you might have different settings for slider, text, etc: s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Thanks to torickray who modified the weather icons you can now use it with IPTweather too. Just download his weather files from here
Thanks to bismuth89 for providing (w)qvga version. Download qvga files from here and wqvga from here
S2U2 Optimus weather-clock
Could you develop a wqvga version?
thanx

Did u set the time format to option 1 and choose clock font folder clockD ? Clock alignment must be set to left. Are you using Touch Flo 3D ? Did you update weather in Touch Flo ? Make sure you actually replaced the files and not just adding mine and leaving the originals there. Delete the original weather folder and the original clockD folder and then copy mine in the gfx folder. Also delete the lang settings and then copy mine. Make a backup of your files first, in case you want to get back to your settings.

Unfortunately i only own a Blackstone which is WVGA, but JambazZi from 4pda.ru has a wqvga version, you can use his and see if it works well on your device. Here are the files. The lang file is in russian, but you can modify your lang file, instead of using his. All you need to do is modify DefaultTimeFormat1 to the one in his file and add a new clock to option 6 called optimus, i think his clock is called optimus. Or just rename clock to one of the already existing clocks clock/, clockD, clockS, whatever. Hope that helps. His WVGA didn't work for me. If it was shiny outside, i got a windy widget. Maybe his wgvga version is numbered correctly. Try it and let me know, if icons are not numbered correctly you might need to rename them to suit the actual weather outside.
P.S. @ mad_a_22 : read your private message on the forum.
I'm using Userwether and I have weather icons moved to the left side - I see only half picture.Is it possible to change this?

Is your phone WVGA ? Post a screenshot please. You might need to resize the weather icons to fit the screen. The weather is designed to be used with Touch Flo 3D, guess it might work with other weather tools as long as it is scaled correctly. What weather program are you using ?
Yes, WVGA - OmniaII. I'm using IPTweather, mort scripts to modify registry. Maybe you have right, that modification of icons are needed.
I haven't used any third party weather application in S2U2. Send me a link to the icon pack you used before and a screenshot to see where exactly they were positioned, i might be able to edit the optimus icons to appear correctly for your IPTweather tool.

It's hard for me to guess the exact size of the icons used by other weather applications and where exactly they appear on your screen, since i only used HTC default weather i made the icons to fit to the weather provided by the TouchFlo. You should try and crop or enlarge the icons' canvas in order for the clock to appear in the white panels.

ahhh, it's beautiful! weather images look great on HD2, thank you, Sp1tfire! but there's one problem with time, digits are moved to the left more then they have to be. check it out on the screenshot. I've made everything in settings according to the first post. how can I fix this?

Time format should look like in the screenshot below and lang file must contain this line:
s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Sp1tfire,
yes, that was the problem.. thank you. I've copied lang.ini to gfx folder together with clock and weather images.. such a shame..
but now something new appeared, see the screen, please. It's concerning lang.ini, as far as I understand, but I haven't backuped the old one to correct yours.

Hmm, i don't use the text in these 2 lines in my lang file.
s_CS2UText=
s_S2UText=
Mine it's blank. Probably original S2U2 text was "slide to unlock" for s_S2UText and "unlock" for s_CS2UText (without quotation marks)
typed "unlock", made some settings changes, now everything is on it's places , looks perfect! you ROCK! thanx!
