I tried to add an icon into this app and have totally stuffed up the app now as i didn't sign it properly (and i didn't save it properly somewhere). Now the problem is i have 5.0G so don't have access to the market to DL it again. I am going to flash to the new market version of G when it arrives or over to H but in the meantime can someone post the apk for bar control for me please?
It is a free app so this is not piracy or anything.
****edit**** forget this- forgot to delete the metainf folder- now works- what a dufus!

Anyone know how to get rid of the custom ATT Market? I would like to replace it with the stock Android Market app so that I can see my list of downloads!
I had over 70 apps installed on my G1. It would be nice to see the list of apps I had purchased to re-download - instead of seeing that crappy ATT button at the top right!!!!
I installed the Market.apk and vending.apk from the Nexus! CM5 gapps.zip file. But, there must be something telling the Market app on this device to alter the menu!
Dam irritating!
Oh, just found that if I select the menu button there is a Download button to see that same screen as indicated above.
Would still be nice to leave out that extra step as I could CARE LESS WHAT THE CRAPPY ATT wants me to see!!!

Turn Airplane mode on, turn wifi on and connect to wifi. Now browse market sans AT&T.
I hear you.... But, there should be a way for us to delete some files or change some code so that we don't have to take the above steps.
Verizon does the same thing. Is this really such a big issue???
Guess I'm just spoiled! LOL! I like opening up the Market and having the option to see all of my purchased/installed apps with the touch of a button instead of having that other STUPID button up there that I'LL NEVER USE!
Just the modder in me! I pushed the stock Market and vending apk's from CM5 - but, it still opened up with the stupid ATT button.
Market Enabler does this function for you. Google search for it but you have to side load it and be rooted. Have to launch it & config for T-Mobile b4 each Appworld visit on your phone.
Works like a charm.

Is there a suitable icon changer out that works with the Galaxy S phones yet?
I've tried bettercut 3.0 and anyshortcut 0.3 but neither work yet.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to adb pull the apk for an app, redo the icon, save and push it back, but it uninstalls the app and won't reinstall (assuming this is a signing error).

When you first launch the app? Or when you do something else?
Try to reboot?
Try to uninstall/reinstall?

launcherpro gives you the ability to do it natively in the homescreen if you dont mind loosing touchwiz
or there is an app called folderorganizer which worked well for me in the past
I figured it out. Using the app itself didn't work, but if you long press on the home screen and add new shortcut, select bettercut, it works.

i use desktop visuliser to customise icons. it works nicely on the home screen, plus you can choose which size you'd like them to be.

Try NinjaMorph. You can use that to change all the icon's for the apps that are installed on the phone to the /system/app directory. It's pretty easy to change all those icons using that app.
But for any user installed apps that end up installed to /data/app you'll have to do a little more work.. (that is if you want the icons to be changed in the app drawer as well, if you don't then you can just use one of those other apps people have already mentioned)
Basically you'll have to copy the .apk to your computer. Edit the apk with the new icon you want, delete the current signature, resign it, copy it back to your sdcard, uninstall the app, then re-install it with your newly edited akp. Sounds like a lot but it's not to bad if you use the right tools.
7zip works great to open the akps and edit the files inside them. I also found a nice little tool someone had created that lets you just drag and drop apks into it and press a button to resign the package. I'm not at my home computer so I don't remember the name off hand but you should be able to find it from a simple google search.
Hope that helps.
I recently flashed a gingerbread theme, and I love the black status bar, except how the notify icons look on it, since they were made for a white bar. So I'm trying to use Ninja Morph to change the icons, which seems like a simple procedure, but it's being very frustrating. I had the TweetDeck icon changed and working correctly, and then a half hour later it started FCing on me. Don't even get me started on the Google Voice app, that seems to work at complete random with no rhyme or reason.
This is frustrating. What's the trick here?
You know I was having the same problem I updated some of my Icons and i followed the instructions and made sure all my images were the same size name right ones and png's and everything then as soon as it rebooted it only gave me FC for every app but two and that was the dialer and the browser and the dialer only worked for incoming calls, the only solution was to sbf. No fun I cant figure out what i did, so no im thinking maybe i have a corrupted file and i need to go in and one by one change them out to figure out what was the cause if any. (oh did i mention this happened three time, what a pain in the a--) Well My advice would be to look at the specifics of what you are doing then maybe start over or try something different, but other than that IDK.

I could test for you. What apps and what icons? Maybe you could post them and I will do it and see what you're doing wrong (if anything). You know market apps have to be signed. Stericson has an app for that too called Signapktic. Works on the phone but in order to use it you have to tell Ninjamorph "NO" after it creates the package then you have an APK of your project in the AndroidThemes/workspace directory. Once signed you can zipalign in terminal and install. Let me know if you need a walkthrough for this method and I will write one up for you.
I'm having problems with ninjamorph too with it just hanging and never finishing. I have some sweet ideas too

I could use a write up of how to do it via terminal if you could do this it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to switch a green for blue android in the Advanced task killer app and am having trouble
If you morph any thing different than a system app you have to re sign the app. Use Signaptic its free on the market. Also when you use signaptic choose the platform iption.

Not sure if anyone posted this, but I thought I saw someone mention the lack of apps in marketplace under top paid/top free, etc.
I noticed that when you switch to landscape, marketplace will then load the rest of the apps under each category (continuously, as you keep scrolling). Probably old news, but figured I'd throw that out in case there are others out there that were confused like me, considering it was my first time ever using droid marketplace
new market
The old market will only display 10 apps and 1 app need to be off the screen to enable scrolling.
Download the new market from the post below. copy it to your SD card and use Astro file explorer to install it. The new market is made for tablets and you will not need to switch to landscape to scroll to more apps.

"Installation of download apks not supported" using Astro...
Think I figured it out, just copy paste, dont install
Open astro. Click menu. Click more. Click preferences. Check the box next to browser downloads.
Try again.

Or he could just follow the instructions on the linkied thread...
Still doesn't work, the new one that is. It just crashes when I try and open it. How do I go about reinstalling the old market? It says something about no certificates when I try and reinstall it. Thanks
There are instructions in a thread in the Themes and Apps section.
It involves using adb but it's really no biggie.
Hey guys,
I had an idea of how to get rid of that annoying "R" logo from Rockplayer at the topleft corner of the screen. I know you can buy the full application, but I will only buy it from the Android Market and not wire money to some unknown developer's site. And I will not pirate it. Those are simply workarounds
But, my idea was to use Metamorph to change the "R" icon to an empty/invisible PNG. I've been trying this, though, with a few errors.
- If I use Metamorph to do this while the application is stored in /data/app, the signature checking hides the application. Stericson mentioned this will happen with all apps you morph that are in /data/app because Metamorph signs with the dev key.
- If I use Metamorph to do this while the application is in /system/app, I get a Force Close notice when I attempt to open a video file inside the app. However the app itself shows up and launches fine.
I never got Metamorph to work with morphs I tried to make for AudioManager, but I've seen tons of success stories of people making morphs for it. I believe this app could have the same success.
Anyone have any suggestions of how to get this working, then?
Also, people who have made successful AudioManager morphs: How did YOU do that? Could you provide instructions?
have you ever tried apk manager?

while i've never tried to modify the apps you are using specifically, i was able to change notification icons for gmail, the aosp email, and handcent.
my advice would be to treat every app like a system app. that way, you can retain the original signature.
Look for Signapktic by Stericson in mkt. You can do it all on the phone. I wrote a tut a while back it's on here somewhere search theme market apps and signapktic.
Thank you guys for your help

What key do I need to sign it with in Signapktic, and do I need to have the key in my sdcard?
Edit: That was kind of a stupid question, please disregard it
I tried both of your methods, however the app just opens then closes no matter if it's in /system/app or in /data/app...
