[MOD] Update 11/14/11: Animated Launcher Pro Dock - Android Themes

This is a mod I put together to animate the dock background in Launcher Pro.​
I am not responsible for any damage you may do to your device/important data by following the instructions in this thread. Always back up all your important data before modding/flashing anything on your device.​
If you like my work, please press the "Thanks" button and/or consider donating to me.​
A few notes:
-(UPDATE) I changed the instructions to include implementing the mod in landscape mode.
-I didn't put a whole lot of effort into the actual animation seen below. I put it together just as an example for the mod. If you like it, sweet, but I figured people are gonna want to make their own to fit their needs. I'll also be making some more polished animations and posting them here as they are completed.
- If you make your own animation and would like to share it, PM me or post it in this thread and I will add it to the O.P with credit to the creator.
-To enable the animation, switch to Launcher Pro after installation and go to: menu-> preferences-> appearance settings-> dock background-> select "Froyo", or whatever name you changed it to during the mod.
-The animation will not play the first time it loads! From the Laucher Pro home screen: press the "Home" soft key to bring up the screen preview window, then press "Back" and the animation should start playing.
-Right now, this is only for Launcher Pro. I am trying to get this working on Go Launcher Ex and ADW Launcher as well. I will update the O.P as progress is made.
-"Adb install" will not work. Flash the modded apk through CWR to install it.
-This is compatible with Launcher Pro Plus. However, this will not unlock Launcher Pro Plus widgets. You gotta pay to get those.
-I tested this on my Captivate without any performance issues, but it runs even better on dual core devices. The lag/choppiness in the video preview is from the low framerate of Shootme's screen caster function.
Start with a clean, unmodded copy of Launcher Pro. Download it from the market if you don't have it already, and use "adb pull" to extract it. The LP apk attached below is a heavily themed version from my Dark Fire Blue theme- feel free to use it if you don't mind the additional themeing and the demo animation, or to use it as a template when applying the mod to the stock apk.
1. Decompile the apk using Apk Manager (or your preffered method.)
Go to: projects\com.fede.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-port-hdpi
Add all of your dock animation images to this folder. Name the images "dock_animationX" with X being the image number- 0,1,2,3 ect. Save them as .png files.
So far, I've gone up to 20 images (0-19) and have not noticed any additional lag, so you can probably use more than that if you want. I would suggest optimizing the images to reduce the file size.
2. Go to: projects\com.fede.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-port\dock_background_froyo.xml
Change the code to this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false" android:visible="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation0" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation1" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation2" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation3" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation4" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation5" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation6" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation7" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation8" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation9" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation10" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation11" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation12" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation13" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation14" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation15" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation16" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation17" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation18" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/dock_animation19" />
</animation-list>
Adjust the android:duration="XX" value to change the speed of the animation. If you have more than 20 images, keep adding lines in sequential order to accommodate all of your animation images. If you have fewer than 20, delete the excess lines. Close and save the file.
3. (Optional) The next two steps are for applying the dock animation mod in landscape mode. If you don't care about that, skip to step 5.
Copy all of your dock animation images to a new folder on your desktop. Open them in photoshop, gimp, ect. and rotate each image 90 degrees counter clockwise. Save and close.
Rename all of the new vertical images to: vdock_animationXX (again, XX being your image number).
Go to: projects\com.fede.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi
Add all of your vertical dock animation images to this folder.
4. Go to: projects\com.fede.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-land\dock_background_froyo.xml
Change the code to this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:gravity="fill_vertical|right|center" android:oneshot="false" android:visible="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation0" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation1" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation2" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation3" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation4" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation5" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation6" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation7" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation8" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation9" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation10" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation11" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation12" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation13" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation14" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation15" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation16" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation17" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation18" />
<item android:duration="75" android:drawable="@drawable/vdock_animation19" />
</animation-list>
This xml should be exactly the same as the drawable-port\dock_background_froyo.xml, just with the addition of the android:gravity="fill_vertical|right|center" code in line #2, and the vdock file names. Save and close.
5. (Optional) This will change the text string in the settings menu to a different name for your new animated dock background. It is totally unnecessary for the mod to work, but it does make it look more official.
Go to: projects\com.fede.launcher-1.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Look for this code:
Code:
<string-array name="dock_background_entries">
<item>None</item>
<item>Custom</item>
<item>Glass</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item>Froyo</item>[/COLOR]
<item>Froyo wide</item>
</string-array>
Change "Froyo" to whatever name you want- in the video above I changed the name to Blue Orbs. Save the changes and close this file. The mods are now finished.
6. Recompile the apk.
When you get prompted with: "Is this a system apk?" choose Yes. "Keep unmodified files?" choose Yes. When prompted, navigate to the keep folder and delete: the ENTIRE "res" folder and the "resources.arsc" file. Return to the Apk Manager script and finish compiling the apk. If you get an error, double check all of your file names for the images and xmls and make sure they are consistent.
7. Rename the modded, reccompiled apk to: com.fede.launcher-1.apk.
DO NOT RESIGN THE APK!! Resigning it will break compatibility with Frederico's keys and the LPP Unlocker app from the market will not work.
8. Add the apk to a CWM flashable file, flash it, and enjoy.
If you like my work, please press the "Thanks" button and/or consider donating to me.​

Hmmm. Looks quite interesting.
Sent from my BlackICE(d out) Inspire!!!

awesome idea! my first animated dock came out great, except when i turn my tab to landscape it gets replaced by the froyo dock... deleted the froyo dock we replaced and my animated dock was visible in landscape for a second longer before changing again to the froyo dock...
i'm sure it'll get squared away.

I keep getting an error message when I try to open the dock_background_froyo xml file to edit it.... am I missing something? I can't open it in anything.

You've decompiled the apk, and trying to open that xml isn't working? That's weird. Try deleting the decompiled apk from the projects folder, and decompile it again.

ok I got it working. so I'm pretty much done... just need to know how I slip this into a CWM flashable file..

Go to my O.P in this thread. Download the CWM file at the bottom. Open the archive, open the system folder. Open the app folder. Add your "com.fede.launcher-1.apk" to the archive. It will overwrite mine. Then flash!

[Q] [ADW]Theming help

I am trying to make my own ADW theme. Everything is set up correctly and I'm using Eclipse.
The problem I have is that I don't know how I should edit the xmls in /res/drawable without getting force close in Emulator when trying it out.
i.e. I edit home_arrows_left.xml from:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:maxLevel="0" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="1" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="2" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="3" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="4" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="5" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="6" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
</level-list>
to:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:maxLevel="0">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="1">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="2">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="3">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="4">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="5">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="6">dot</item>
</level-list>
And I create a file in drawable called dot.png
If I export+install with adb and select as ADW theme in emulator I get ADW force close when pressing home button.
I'm not a pro with XML but I could spend some time to learn more if someone just tells me what I need to know to create ADW themes.
Maybe I could use some tool to validate the XML?
The only problem I have is to edit the XML in the right way.

Just change all of the

And create a dot.png
Thank you for the help!
I have one more question.
How do I refer to images in drawable-hdpi/drawable-mdpi/drawable-ldpi depending on if they are hdpi/mdpi/ldpi?
I have tried to open some APK's but you can't see what's written in the XML files. Maybe someone could contribute with the source of an ADWTheme that have different images based on dpi?
You have to decompile an APK in order to view XML files as plain text. I suggest apkmanager 4.8 (I tried 4.9 and it wasn't compiling apks right for me.)
Once extracted, the tool will allow you to extract the contents of .apk's, and decompile them so you can edit the xml files. You will have to recompile and sign the .apk file once you decompile and edit it.
I extracted an apk from my device and turned it into a zip. I have viewed some XML's via AXMLPrinter2.jar but If I look what's written in android:drawable it says android:drawable="@7F020007". Thats not a path or a file so when it compiles the path changes. I shall see if the same thing happens with the program you told me about tomorrow.
Do you need to make different images for different dpi levels?

TSF Shell Theme [Instructional]

I found quite a few themes, but the original creators don't provide a guide, or leave you to decompile theirs which seems to cause issues with a rebuilt version. In light of this, I will provide a guide on the easy process of developing a theme for TSF Shell.
You will need Eclipse and all the usual Android app development stuff installed. This guide will not be covering that aspect.
Set up a basic app, you also need to include an empty activity. This part is not overly important.
AndroidManifest.xml
Your empty activity needs to specify that it is a theme
Code:
<intent-filter>
...
<action android:name="com.tsf.shell.themes" />
...
</intent-filter>
You will need an assets folder, which will be the base of your theme. It will include:
A subfolder named theme, with subfolders preview, widget, shell, and icon. These will be where the theme parts go.
PreviewDescription.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme>
<version value="1" />
<info date="CREATION_DATE" author="YOUR_NAME" name="THEME_NAME"/>
<preview frontcover="IMAGE_FOR_THEME_ICON">
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
</preview>
</theme>
The capitalized words should be replaced by the file names of the files that will be placed in the preview folder. These file names can be whatever you like, as long as they match the values listed here.
The widget folder is somewhat specific. It contains a subfolder named "com.tsf.shell.widget.folder" with the files "widget_folder_bg.png", "widget_folder_front.png", and "widget_folder_icon.png" which should be replaced by the images you want for each of these items.
ThemeDesription.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</wallpaper>
</theme>
The above is an excerpt from an existing theme to help you determine what goes where. The important parts are icon-default scale="0.70" which is the size of the original icon that will be placed within the "generic" background, which is specified by the item image values within the icon-default class. Everything surrounds the ThemeDescription, so if you want to change something, this is usually where.
Back to the icon and shell folders. This is where you will place images you want used for each app and the parts of the interface. How the theme will handle missing icons was covered by the theme description so don't worry if you don't have one for everything. These items should already have been specified by the ThemeDescription, so now it is just filling in the pictures.

The above is an excerpt from an existing theme to help you determine what goes where. The important parts are icon-default scale="0.70" which is the size of the original icon that will be placed within the "generic" background, which is specified by the item image values within the icon-default class. Everything surrounds the ThemeDescription, so if you want to change something, this is usually where.
Back to the icon and shell folders. This is where you will place images you want used for each app and the parts of the interface. How the theme will handle missing icons was covered by the theme description so don't worry if you don't have one for everything. These items should already have been specified by the ThemeDescription, so now it is just filling in the pictures.

This is a great guide! Thanks for this! I must say tfs shell is just great and some minor bugs but it can be solved with proper attention and spare time for decompile and recompile!

[GUIDE]How to create icon packs for Go/Nova/Apex/Holo/ADW/LauncherPro/XperiaHome

How to create Icon Packs for Go/Apex/Nova/Holo/ADW/Launcher Pro/Xperia Home Launchers​However, there are many guides on Apex Launcher, Nova. ADW but when someone starts, he finds himself rather confused on which launcher to start working with and then how to add support of other launchers in it.
I was confused too on how to create Holo Launcher icon pack, then I found out LauncherPro guide which worked on Holo Launcher. Then, I further went on adding launchers as people requested for my Metrosphere Icon Pack. I got great help from DSaif's guide here. Then, I took the Apex Sample Pack from here and added support of other launchers in it. You can check that guide if are further looking onto advanced options of icon packs in Apex or creating themes for Apex, this guide will concentrically based on Icon apk CreationYou can also add support of different launchers from there, but if you are lazy like me, then you can follow this guide which has a sample pack with support already added and I'll be guiding you on how to further add icons in it ​Pre-Requisites​
Eclipse with ADT Plugin
Icons which you want to add
Time and Patience
Guide​
1. Downloading the sample
Download the Sample Icon Pack Source zip from below and extract it in any accessible local directory.
2. Importing the Project
Now open Eclipse and select File>Import
A window will pop up, drop down the Android Category and select Existing Android Code Into Workspace and Click Next
It will ask you to chose the root directory. Browse to where you extracted the Sample Icon Pack
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click on OK. And select Copy projects into workspace and then click on Finish.
3. Renaming Package Name
Now, you'll see the IconProject dropdown in Package Explorer window in Eclipse.
Now, you want to rename your Icon Pack's Package name as desired. For that, right click on IconProject and select Android Tools>Rename Application Package, and type in the name you want and click OK.
Also, Expand the IconProject Folder by clicking on drop down button and then, expand src folder, and you'll see areeb.apex.metrosphere.iconpack named file. Right click on it and Choose Refractor>Rename and type in the same package name you typed in previously, and Click OK
Name, the above steps for renaming package name can be omitted if you have yourself replaced the name evrywhere manually such as mainactivity.java, AndroidManifest.xml, etc
4. Naming your Icon Pack and changing description
Now, go to /res/values/strings.xml and change the name of Icon Pack from Sample Icon Pack to anything you want
There are also description of theme, you contact info, etc that can be changed in strings.xml
In AndroidManifest.xml, you can change some more informations such as version number, etc
5. Adding icons to your icon pack-
Now, we will be adding our icons in the icon pack but first, some things to clear-
For Go, Holo, Nova, Apex or other launchers - iconbase, iconmask, iconupon pngs can be used to provide a uniform look across icons on the device (More info is provided in Apex Launcher Icon Pack Tutorial). If you don't want them, just go to /res/xml/appfilter.xml and delete these lines accordingly:
Code:
<iconback img1="iconback" />
<iconmask img1="iconmask" />
<iconupon img1="iconupon" />
Now, how to add icons in icon pack? Ok, let's come to the point.
Add all your icons in drawable-xdpi (x=xh,h,m,l) folder depending upon for which dpi you have created them. XHDPI are normally 144x144, and HDPI are mainly 90x90.
You don't need to resize your icons for different DPI. For let's say, you made HDPI icons, now, you don't have to resize them for MDPI or LDPI devices, android does it on it's own. But definitely, HDPI icons will look pixelated on XHDPI, so it's recommended to make icons of as high resolution as possible.
Once added in the folder, let's say drawable-hdpi, we'll start the renaming process.
Holo Launcher updated it's theming engine, so it's very easy to put icon names now
You can put any name for your icons like browser for Browser and opera_mini for Opera Mini. It's your choice. Now, keep in mind that your icons should only be in lower case and no character like .,?/\|:";<>{}][ etc should come in their name, only underscore _ is allowed
6.
I) Open /res/xml/drawable.xml and add all the new icon names in it in this format
Code:
<item drawable="opera_mini" />
<item drawable="browser" />
<item drawable="fruit_ninja" />
(Required for icons to appear in Icon Selector Menu, controls icons position in it too, i.e, icon registered above in xml also appears above in Icon Selector)
II) Open /res/values/iconpack.xml and add all the new icons in this format
Code:
<item>opera_mini</item>
<item>browser</item>
<item>fruit_ninja</item>
(Does same thing as above in Apex Launcher. Deleting any one of the above two breaks functionality in one of the launchers)
Order of icons in these xml decide the order of icons in Icon Selector
III)
Find ComponentInfo name first by going in activities.droidicon.com
Edit : Above site doesn't work as reported by many people. Here are some other sites:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54038742&postcount=369
Search your app name. For example Opera Mini. You'll get search results like this
Opera Mini
com.opera.mini.android
com.opera.mini.android.Browser
com_opera_mini_android_browser
com.opera.mini.android/com.opera.mini.android.Browser
The last name is what you want to get
Open /res/xml/appfilter.xml and add all new icons in this format
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{[COLOR=Red]com.mobint.hololauncher/com.mobint.hololauncher.Launcher[/COLOR]}" drawable="[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]holo_launcher[/COLOR]" />
Place the name you got from activities.droidicon.com in the red field you see above and in blue field, add the icon name of that app. For example, for Opera Mini, we took name as opera_mini, so the line will be like this
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{[COLOR=Red]com.opera.mini.android/com.opera.mini.android.Browser[/COLOR]}" drawable="[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]opera_mini[/COLOR]" />
In the same way, resultant will look like this
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{[COLOR=Red]com.opera.mini.android/com.opera.mini.android.Browser[/COLOR]}" drawable="[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]opera_mini[/COLOR]" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{[COLOR=Red]com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity[/COLOR]}" drawable="[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]browser[/COLOR]" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{[COLOR=Red]com.halfbrick.fruitninja/com.halfbrick.fruitninja.FruitNinjaActivity[/COLOR]}" drawable="[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]fruit_ninja[/COLOR]" />
(Used in Go, Holo, Nova and Apex to apply icons. Also, saves a lot of icons if you want to apply same icon to many apps)
Some example from third xml, and how can we use it:
1. Applying single icons to many apps:
Here, same contacts has been applied to MANY apps that had different activity names in different devices.
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.sec.android.app.contacts.DialerEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivityForDialpad}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.TwelveKeyDialer}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.BbDialtactsMainFrameActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsCallListEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsCallLogActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsPhoneEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.DialtactsRecentEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.PhoneDialtactsActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.SmartDialerActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.htcdialer/com.android.htcdialer.Dialer}" drawable="com_android_contacts_dialtactsactivity" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.htccontacts/com.android.htccontacts.DialerTabActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.phone/com.android.phone.DialtactsCallLogActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.phone/com.android.phone.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.huawei.android.dialer/com.huawei.android.dialer.TwelveKeyDialer}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.motorola.dialer/com.motorola.dialer.CallLogShortcut}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.motorola.dialer/com.motorola.dialer.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.samsung.android.app.dialertab/com.samsung.android.app.dialertab.DialerTabActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.samsung.dialer/com.samsung.dialer.SplashScreen}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.sec.android.app.dialertab/com.sec.android.app.dialertab.DialerTabActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook/com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook.DialerEntryActivity}" drawable="contacts" />
2. Some miscellaneous examples of this code:
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirds/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.ads/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.premium/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwars.ads.iap/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwarshd.premium.iap/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angry_birds" />
Here, we have applied same icon to all Angry Birds icons. But, if we want different one for each, we can do that too:
Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirds/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="angrybirds" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="seasons" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.ads/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="space" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.premium/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="spacepre" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwars.ads.iap/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="stars" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwarshd.premium.iap/com.rovio.fusion.App}" drawable="starshd" />

Code:
<item component="ComponentInfo{eu.chainfire.supersu/eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity}" drawable="supersu" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{eu.chainfire.supersu/eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity[COLOR=Red]-[/COLOR]Emblem}" drawable="supersu" />

7. Testing your app
Once, this all process is complete, I hope many things would have become clear to you, now what you have to do is, test your app. For that,
Connect your phone to PC. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on (Omit, if you plan to use Emulator)
Click on the little drop down arrow and select Run Configurations...
Make sure, the project is same as your icon pack
Click on Run
Now, your device ADB ID will appear, or Emulator's if you are using it instead. Select it and Click on OK.
Your app will be installed accordingly, Test it thoroughly and on different launchers
8. Creating your app
When you have tested it thouroughly and want to make it an app, Select File>Export>Export Android Application and Select your IconProject.
Click on next and choose Create New Keystore and choose the location where you want it to be created. Enter any password you want.
Click next, now, enter any name you want in alias, password, set Validity to 25 years(your choice), First and Last Names. Other Fields are Optional.
You might want to remember those key location, alias and passwords for both as you will be signing upcoming updated of your icon pack with the same key so your fans don't have to uninstall older app before installing the new one
Click next, then choose where you want your app to be created and click on Finish
9. Enjoy
Download Sample Icon Pack Source​
UPDATE
For those who can manage without a guide, I have created another source which has VPI Indicators in Icon Chooser.
I will write the guide after some time as I am busy nowadays, more information here​
I am human and tend to make mistakes, please point out if you see any.

As I said, find it's activity name from activities.droidicon.com and rename it accordingly as stated in guide
For eg:
Package name : com.areeb.app
Main Activity : HomeActivity
com.areeb.app.HomeActivity
So the icon name will be com_areeb_app_homeactivity.png
This one will run smoothly on your HTC , I got it on my SGS4 and its soooo nice and clean

I will definitely give this a go, thank you for your hard work.

Please tell which errors are you getting?
I'll try my best to help you
Hey I notice when you're importing the Icon Project, the window shows both 'gen' and 'bin' folders. I don't get that when I'm doing it and I think this might be the reason why I always get errors after I import the folder. Any ideas or suggestions?

I`m just not understanding how to name the icons before I add them, I`ve tried understanding it and tried what I thought where the correct names, but I`ve no idea what I`m doing.
Any chance of a video, for the complete rookies...like me?

Well, there's a good news that you don't need to rename icons in that ridiculous way now as Holo Launcher has updated it's theming engine.
I'll update the thread soon

tab n grid all versions GPS BUG FIXED!!

When you try to use the gps the tab n grid crashes right? well this is the solution for every version of tab n grid for every model... im not sure if this bug exist in all models but the ones who have this bug you can do this
when you enter a app that uses gps the tab n grid shuts down to resolve that bug just go with this steps:
1: first use this tutorial to decompile and compile the SystemUI.apk -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719
2: after you decompile, go into SystemUI folder then -> res\drawable\stat_sys_gps_acquiring_anim.xml
the its -> : o without the white space, i didnt know how to put the code here in an other way
it should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list androidneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring" />
<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@*android:drawable/APKTOOL_DUMMY_06ff" />
</animation-list>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3: and you delete this line:
<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@*android:drawable/APKTOOL_DUMMY_06ff" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list androidneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring" />
</animation-list>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4: Save and recompile.
5: Open the recompiled SystemUI.apk with winrar and delete AndroidManifest.xml
open the official SystemUI.apk of tab n grid (the one that you used to decompiled) and copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml to the new SystemUI.apk (the one you compiled) using winrar.
if you want an example of a tab n grid v1 for xperia j with 1 % step circle battery image and gps bug fixed, its in the attachments BTW I added full translation of tab n grid for Portuguese-Portugal for the oder languages is the same as the official tab n grid.
Thanks for your time,
i just wanted to share... sory for my english
