I use Nova launcher and I can do it with that

could you please tell me how to change it with nova launcher? I am also using nova but don't know the procedure to change the icons

I downloaded an app called Icon Finder Plus, then I chose an icon and save it to my phone. Exit the icon app, Then long press the button you want to change and it should come up with, (move/resize/edit). hit the edit and then the picture, then choose the icon you want and your done.
Cheers Rob

Yep sure. Basically all of the softkey images are PNG files stored inside SystemUI.apk. And it's really straight forward if you just want to replace PNG files such as battery, signal and softkey icons.
There are two ways, you can either decompile SystemUI.apk and replace the PNGs inside (harder, time consuming method) or use a program called 7zip to open the apk archive and replace the PNGs (easier, quick method).
I used the second method to replace the softkeys. Here's how to do it:
*Always backup in recovery before modifying files*
Install 7zip
Right click SystemUI.apk and select 7zip -> Open archive
You'll see a few files/folders, open 'res' then 'drawable-xxhdpi' you'll see lots of PNG files
The ones I replaced were 'ic_sysbar_home.png' and 'ic_sysbar_home_land.png'
Drag these two files to the Desktop and open them with Photoshop or any image editing software
Erase the existing image and replace with any other desired logo/icon and save (remember the background must be kept transparent)
Drag the edited files back into the SystemUI.apk archive (res->drawable-xxhdpi)
Then copy the edited SystemUI.apk back to your phone, then move it to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then move it to /system/app and overwrite when prompted (your phone will probably reboot, it's normal)
That's it!

Use ES File Explorer and grant it root access, then find and long press each of the two files, select Copy, then paste them onto your external sd card or internal storage.

yes, the png resides in the /system.framework/framework-res.apk in there its under res\drawable-mdpi\statusbar_background.9.png.
So use 7 zip and apk manager take this png i posted, go into the mentioned folder above in your favorite rom or theme and replace it with this one its the stock one from CM6.
note: don't alter this png its a 9 patch just replace it in the apk without unziping it or the rom in which your replacing it in. You'll also need to resign your rom or you could just push the new framework-res.apk in a root adb shell.
i don't really understand you... do i need rooted phone.. i can't fint that folder.. ? can u explain me a little more please !
Yes your phone will need to be rooted. And you'll need to use a standard theme setup.

[Q] Zeus 6 and the LG wallpaper back

Hi,
I have now Zeus 6 flashed and running fine.
1. I would have back the old LG Wallpaper (not animated).
2. I miss the old GPS icon in the notification bar too.
What do I have to download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21587977&postcount=2
I tried the animated wallpaper pack but that is not what I searched.
Thank you.
for lg old wallpaper
- LG Home pack (original LG Launcher) (flash from CWM): From V20N version, it will work at both versions.
-- Install: f046d7f72d73a56a17a2e73a763e1541 - mirror

I tried this pack, but now the complete homescreen is as before :-(
I would like to see new (non animated) wallpapers with the Zeus homescreen.
Yes, I found out how to switch between the two homescreens.
u can simply extract the wallpaper from the lg home.apk( res> drawable hdpi) and save its to ur sd card....and then came back to ur favourite launcher...
for the icone of gps u have to change the icon of gps in framework-res.apk and systemui.apk

Hi,
I downloaded all, found a suitable one_click_signer, found the framework-res.apk but not the systemui.apk on my smartphone with Zeus6.
The old stock rom from LG had this file.
Thank you for your help.
Find it in /system/app.
there is systemui.apk

I think it's because you really have to write SystemUI.apk and not just systemui.apk... Dont know why, but sometimes that's already the reason
It's Linux

Hi,
I need another help with making flashable zips.
I read here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954281
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957
and at some other places without really understand this.
I now have two changed .apk files and don´t know how to proceed.
You need to make folders first.
Call one "system" inside make a folder called "app" and one called "framework"
Insert SystemUI into the app folder and the framework-res into framework.
Then you need to make an updater-script, or you copy it from another flashable .zip, which also contains systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Then make another folder called META, insides one called "com" inside "google" and "android" inside it. Insert the updater-script and update-binary into it, zip those two folders together in one .zip, sign it, and flash it
