Is it possible to change icons? If so, how?
My phone is rooted, and using the stock rom it came with from Sprint.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software: 2.27.651.5
Thanks for the help!
If you use launcher pro from the market as your launcher you can change the icons and the name too...
Long press on a blank space and add the app you want...tap on its picture to load your gallery and choose whatever icon you would like...there are plenty to download...

Hm.. That's a quick way, thanks Vandelay007. Do you happen to know a way without using Launcher Pro though? Oddly enough, I like the default launcher.

Download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Allows you to put custom icon shortcuts anywhere on your desktop for just about anything. You can't change any of the taskbar or menu icons, but it does allow you to change/customize any icons you put on your desktop home screens.

That worked smashingly after a bit of digging, thank you.

I'll definitely use this way next time though. You can't imagine how long it takes a "n00b" to find the Folder shortcut icon.
Thank you everyone for your help.

Looks like he did... I have to say, if this guy describes himself as a noob, and he managed to search and figure out how to theme without needing to aska lot of questions, I shudder to think what we have to call the people who not only don't know what they're talking about, but also can't search for it...
You can't believe how happy I am to see search work that well. It kind of scares me how happy I am.

Don't worry about it. It was more informative than you think!

Haha, thanks for the compliment! It really wasn't that hard to be honest. Just resize the png, rename it, and find where to put it. Once you figure out that you can open .apk files with 7zip, the rest is a cake walk!
The problem with most n00bs is that they don't want to get their hands dirty... and the laziness! Haha.

Not gonna lie, that lockscreen is pretty slick. What would we have to do to bring that look to Android?
Man, i would love to have a lockscreen like that.

Yea search for ownskin on the market. Then using that app, search "metro ui". Theres 3 words at the bottom of the wallpaper, but you can easily remove it by editing it
Tried that, in ownskin there's nothing to be found when searching for "metro ui" even just "metro" gets no result

Yepp. Can`t find it.
guys, ownskin will only list the wallpaper that suit your phone screen size. so the wallpaper created by sofox must be same as your phone screen size then you can find it.....
anyway the easiest is to try make it yourself one, it is rather easy. try it at http://www.ownskin.com/livewallpaper

Let me know when you're done...don't have the time or patience myself but I'd like to see something like this
Damn. I can`t get it to look right, it keeps getting messed up.
Nobody else want to give it a shot to make this into a widget or a wallpaper? With the black background I bet this would look really awesome on an OLED screen
Hey folks, I'm wondering if someone more clever than I could throw together a real quick Gmail icon for LauncherPro or link me to where I might find one. I'm pretty fail with photoshop and barely able to put together stick figures in MSPaint...
All I want to do is take the generic Gmail icon and turn the red bits green like the phone/web browser/messaging app.
Thanks for your time.

Ok, just post the link to the theme and the smartkeyboard apk and tell me how u want it to look then im gonna start.

Ill post later today when I get the time. Thanks for offering the help
Sent from my Sexus yeS
Okay, here is the link to the smart keyboard. and here is the theme http://www.mediafire.com/?yy778k6t2nvltj7. I'd like the keyboard background to be black with fading blue glow around the borders of each key. That's basically all I have for now lol. If you want to add your own touch to it please do.
Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

You should check the official Smart Keyboard forum. Somebody has started work on this: http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1007
Completely forgot about theme chooser, could try doing it with that, but it will take a while cause ive never done that before, another thing i could try is just to make a fake apk to compile the .9.png and see if it works when i put them into the smartkeyboard.apk. ill report when im back on the computer.

why do you need to compile another APK? smart keyboard has theme capabilities where u put it on the .sdcard as a .zip

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

The capitalizations were done to emphasize the idea. Now that I got that point across, but anyway.
Without any further adue, they're available now.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.
Enjoy.
