I'm going to build a status bar theme in http://circle.glx.nl/ and I have a question about icon packs. If I only want to replace a few of my icons, do I select them individually? Do they replace the stock ones, leaving the rest of the stock set in place? Is there a way to mix and icons from each set? I like the bluetooth of one and the wifi of another, but like some of the stock sense ones also.
What can/do I do?

Click on the include icons box on top of whatever sets you want, then next to the subset that you want to CHOOSE what icons you want and don't want, click on the radio button that's labeled "selected (choose in next step)"
There ya have it

Is there away to replace the icons on my tilt? I dont like the plain icons that are pre-installed for the camera and other applications. Just wondering how I go in and change those. Like I saw a really cool 3G icon that could replace the plain 3G icon pre-loaded. How do I switch them out?

Hi
yes, you can change app, folder and shortcuts icons!! It's already treated here!
...3G icon??...are you talking about the taskbar icons?! look here, or here, or here!!!
..However next time try to search first!!!
Ciao
im sorry does anybody know how to change the taskbar icons? if so, can u plz help me thxs!
It depends on what you referring to as your taskbar
If you mean the lower quick keys then it would depend on what launcher you are using. Launcher pro gives you the option to use Icon packs to customize the launcher keys.
If you mean all the icons then bettercut allows you to change icons/names and several other options on your screen.

MetaMorph allows you to apply "themes", some of the themes available in these forums are designed to just change the look of the top-bar. Look around and you will probably find something you like.
On a side note, you have to root your phone to use MetaMorph.

Meta morph is what you need. Check out the theme forum and all the icons you could ever want are there inside the different themes you download.

Is there any way to change the icons for the apps and actions in the framework for a Sense rom? Im a rom that is based on the 2.1 Rogers RUU, and I detest the icons that Sense comes with. So I was wondering if there is any way I can change them permanently. So, none of that bettercut stuff.
Thanks!!

I'm not totally sure where you're going with this. In order to change the status-bar icons you need to edit the framework-res.apk. In order to change the icons you need to pull system/framework/framework-res.apk from your phone, decompile the apk and overwrite the icons you want. Compile the .apk, sign it and push it back to your phone.
Since you're mentioning Bettercut I'm not completely sure what you're aiming for, though. If you're talking about the icons linked to the application on the other hand this is what I've got. I'm sure there are alternate ways to do it:
Pull the desired application from your phone and change the icon directly in the res folder.

Sorry, I know I wasn't being completely clear. I wanna change the icons for the applications in the app drawer.
So I have to pull the system/framework/framework-res.apk. Then replace the icons (assuming they have to be the same resolution?). Compile the apk (how would I do this?) and then push it back to system/framework/ ?

No, the framework is not linked to the icons in your app-drawer
I'm not 100 % on this, but you're gonna have to pull the applications you want to edit one by one.
Im looking for a way to change the icons i have, but keeping the current HTC theme, i have my Aria running 2.2 and i like the way its looking i just wanna change around the icons to fit with the theme of the back ground and how everything looks, any suggestions?

Do you want to replace the icons of the apps you have on your home screen or just move them around?
If you want to replace the icons, the only way I know of is with Tasker. It does so much more than just replace icons.
Im looking to change the icons for the apps to a theme based system.
Greetings ya'll!
My home Screen, Widgets and everything look nearly perfect now that I've upgraded to 2.3.3.
But I'm not advancing when it comes to editing / modding / app using my status a.k.a notification bar.
I'm using LauncherPro though even there I seem to miss a function to exchange symbols / icons in the status bar.
If you know a good app for:
Battery icon change
Wireless Icon change
etc.
for the status / notification bar, please point me the way. Or even discuss which ones exist and are great.
Cheers!
you can modify them yourself with the 'framework-res.apk' you just need to locate and change the .png files.
or quicker way is to just get yourself a theme from the themes section.
lots to choose from, including stock themes with minor tweaks

Thanks for the reply
Yeah there are some themes, though I've my own except for that status bar. And I'm still a bit too much of a noob to undestand how to just edit that status bar, even when using a theme.
I've found the famework-red.apk and installed it. Now trying to figure out the next step...maybe you might be so kind and give me a helping hand?
i wish i could but there are that many files / folders / sub folders i dont know which one is which lol.
what exactly are you trying to do to the status bar ? make it transparent ?

Status bar background: real black
Icon: clock > anything fancier than the original, something a bit blue / modern
icon: wifi > along the same lines
icon: battery > maybe something like the glowing blue circle one
Basically a mod for a status bar revamp would be great.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837569
That's just green, of course.
why dont you use that example and use some sort of photo suite software to change their colours to blue (or whatever you desire ) or if that is too hard.
ask the Creator of that example how he did it, or would he do it in another colour for you.
I use MIUI and their are millions of themes to choose from so i just stick to that. Im not so good at modding themes, just flashing roms lol
