No mater what i try i just cant seems to change the icon for the above mentioned although under SK he icons are changed.
Can someone pls enlighten me where i went wrong?

Are these icons also available in VGA? For QVGA these are great but I think a lot of users are now using VGA devices so for us, these icons won't work for us.
thanks for sharing
Can sk shortcut manager change the icons of spb ms3 launcher?
Icon Size
Is there a way to get bigger icons?
I tried to enlarge them with psp and replace them with reshack.
That doesnt work. The icons stay small.
In MS3 bigger icons would look better to me.
Maybe that is a setting MS3?
Eric
HI,
Can anybody explain to me how I can change the Icons on my Omnia using the SK Shortcut Manager and the dlls from the first post?
How can I assign them to a certain icon or is this just automatically assigned by choosing the dll file in SK Shortcut Manager?
Many THX!

Friends,
I have changed my icons in manila tf3d and really like the icon set. However, the one icon that is missing "calendar".
The icon set is based on Lexxirae Rawn Theme which is located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435261
I attached a screen shot to show what the icon set in manila tf3d looks like. I just need a completed calendar graphic image to accompany the icon set. I have emailed the Lexxirae and have not heard back from the user and also posted in the thread.
If someone could point me in the direction of creating the icon, I am sure I could make something in photoshop using the other examples to put together.
Please assist
Thank You,
Tvos

In Rhodium the following manila files are the tray and the hero icons. If the theme you based this on was for the original manila, these did not exist then.
Calendar Tab:
112dc2ce_manila & 1479c303_manila
Calendar Tab:
112dc2ce_manila & 1479c303_manila - let me take a guess both files represent the tab and the icon for the tab?
also, how can i edit these to where I can make my own.
please advise.

Hello - trying to search, but only getting search down error. I have the captivate with root and am trying to locate where the icons are kept. I would like to keep the 4 programs on the bottom dock, but want to change the icon. I wanted to go into Photoshop, but I can't find where the icons are kept. Any help or advice would be great. I prefer not to use another launcher to change icons as I like the screen the way it is.

There's an app called apk editor. Its on the i9000 themes and apps forum I believe.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Thanks! Going to check it out now.
OK, I'll admit it - I have no idea what I am doing. I do not know how to use the edit apk or apk manager. Is there any way to mount my phone, open photoshop, find an icon and edit it? I really am most wanting to edit the app icon on the dock. Does any one know where to find this icon? Also, where are the other icons - are they in each individual program? Thanks. Peace. Michele

1. extract the app with root explorer to the sd card,
2. put it on your computer and change it to a .zip file
3. extract the res folder and go into the drawable-hdpi
4. replace the current icon with the icon that you want (should be named something similar to "homescreen_icon_musicplayer.png" which is the stock music player icon) it shouldnt be to hard to figure out which one it is. just make sure the names are the same when you replace it.
5. replace the original res folder inside the zip file with the modified version
6. cange the zip back into a .apk and put it back onto the sd card
7. Finally using root explorer replace the old apk with the new one from the sd card.

Yes each app icon is built into the app. If all you really want to do is change the bar icon on your main screen then I would grab Launcher pro or another launcher that allows for custom Icons and use that or you will be editing each app one by one
Hi,
Can anyone explain how one changes the icons in the notification bar?
More specifically, the 3G icon, Signal Strength, and the notification for a new text message?
Also, I know you can change the carrier name to whatever you like with apps like "CCname" and etc. but I've also seen that people have changed it into actual pictures or .png. Any help?
Thanks
I'd like to know more about this too!
The icons are usually found in framework-res.apk/res/drawable*** and begin with "stat". The email notification depends on what app your using but is also found in res/drawable***. You can change them using metamorph.
Hope this helps.
So do you mean I should use a program like APK Manager, and open up the framework apk? What does metamorph have to do with it? Sorry, don't know anything about this.
Unzip the theme you're using, and navigate your way through the SystemUI folder.
If your theme doesn't come with custom icons, download a theme that does (I use Buuf as a base, because it effectively themes /everything/) and see what naming scheme you require for your custom icons.
Replace the icons in the theme you're using, in the correct folder, and rezip as an .mtz.
Not sure if it's the /best/ way to be doing things, but is working well enough for me. I'm finding it rather easy to create a whole custom theme by simply replacing elements from buuf, with my own, and removing those I want as default.
Edit: I too would like to know about carrier icons, however! haha.

Does anyone know what a sms notification is called? Can't find it in any of the themes for miui. The closest I find is "chat" and i'm assuming thats for google chat
Easiest thing to do is get your rom zip and unpack all the frameworks and apks in apps using 7zip.
Then do a search for "stat" you'll be presented with the icons that appear in your status bar, then you can highlight them to see what apk they came from and edit as you please.
You don't need to use apk tool/manager as your only doing simple edits.
Metamorph will only replace the images you want so you dont need to flash/push a full apk.
Theres threads how to use metamorph, I think one might be a sticky at the top of this section. Its childs play to use it.

the way i have done it today was to take the theme file and open it with 7zip(i just opened the archive, i didnt extract it) and go to folder systemui>res>drawable hdpi>stat_notify_sms.png or whatever file you want to change, then i would delete the file that i wanted to change and add the renamed file that i wanted to the archive. it has to match the stat_notify_sms.png name, or whatever the image is that your changing, or it will not work. then i just put it into dropbox and dl'd it to my phone and installed it
the only downside for me was that i couldnt change that image to the little ribbon that i wanted to. other than that i was able to change the signal bars, the wifi bars, and the 3g bars, but the sms wouldnt change for me, neither would the gmail.
I'm using the stock sms from miui.

For Gmail notification you will have to put
stat_notify_email.png here
com.google.android.gm->res->drawable-hdpi
if these folders do not exists create them.
For changing SMS notification icon changing stat_notify_sms.png under
com.android.mms->res->drawable-hdpi
will change SMS notification icon
Hope this helps.
Ok, Just to be clear.
First, I find a pre-made theme, and change the .mtz to .zip so I can open it.
Then I find the icon i want to replace and change it with the exact name.
Then I compress it back to a .zip.
Then I rename the .zip into a .mtz.
Should that work?

If your on stock odds are its in the framework, never ran miui so I'm not too sure.
