[Q] How to change app drawer background

Hi
I want know what is the xml file in touchwizz30laucher.apk for change the app drawer background in black to transparent
thank

i too have the same problem. the only way i can get transparent app drawer is by changing the default launcher. i use launcher pro at the moment, you can also do this with ZEAM launcher ( My favourite ) or you can download sgs tools from the market and go into that and select upgrade stock apps >> upgrade tw launcher,, then find a modded TWlauncher that you like

Thank for your ask, but it's possible change the touchwizz appdrawer black to transparent, like the gtg launcher, but i don't find in all the tread what is the xml files for change this

on the home screen press the left menu button if there is a option for preferences it will be under that, if there is no preference option i doubt you can do it. but like i said earlier there are plenty of launchers with the option of customisation. some similar to the one u use now

Yes it's possible without a other laucher, read this post

It's probably a modification of a xml files in touchwizz30launcher.apk, but i don't find what is this file

i dont understand what you mean.... if that is the mod your looking for just download it and apply it

You don't understand because my english is very bad
I don't want download the mod because i just want a transparent app drawer without the rest of the mod

haha true dat
anyway downloading the mod is only small in size why dont u want to download it you wont even notice

Because i want find the xml file to modify but not for change the black background in transparent background, but for transform in wallpaper background ( if you don't understand, it's always because my english is a martian language)

Haha. I'll leave you too it then. I'm confused lol

PM the developer who made the mod then. Or just read through the thread. It might be there somewhere.

I read her post but without answer. You are right, i send un pm
thank

i wouldnt even try doing it but there are other launchers which do that

[Q] how to locate, create & change icons

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.

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

Names of not themed icons

Hello,
wish this is the correct section to make my question. I'd like to know if someone can tell me how to find the names of the .png files of drawer icons, because I want to mod a theme where not all the icons are themed.
For example, for the browes icon, I know that the png file is called "com.android.browser.browseractivity"; for the copilot icon the name is "com.alk.copilot.copilot".
But for a lot of icons I don't know the name. Can someone help me, please?
thank you
Matteo

Download RootExplorer or something like that and look in your data/data folder and you'll find everything you're looking for.....
