[Q] Problem while icon changing

i´m trying to change the settings.apk icon.....
so
1) i rename the apk to .zip
2) open the archive
3) replace the original with another .png
4) save the new archive
now comes the strange part,
after saving my archive, i only got half the size of the original archive but it contains exactly the same files (4,4 mb <--> 2 mb)
i did the same way when i changed all folder icons in the arc launcher and it worked without any trouble
--------------
and is there a way to have two icons for the same app?
for example:
settings in app drawer ---> white icon
settings in widget menu ---> black icon
or does android automatically use the same icons for both?

still didn´t solve this problem ;(
tried via root manager and using 7zip under windows....filesize stayed the same but didn´t work.
and when i changed the icon, i couldn´t open the widget menu or go to options --> settings
oh boy....

try this :
1.) do all your customizing with this apk ...
2.) copy AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from original settings.apk to your new settings.apk
3.) put in update.zip to flash in CWM, or push to system/app manually, check if permissions are ok (rw-r-r)
this worked for me theming framework-res.apk from FR18b2 ...
without copying AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from old to new file, i always had bootloop ...

if it´s still not working, you can try and
1.) decompile with apkmanager or apktool
2.) do your customizing
3.) compile apk
4.) copy AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from original settings.apk to your new settings.apk
5.) flash

tried your first hint but it didn´t work......
so, when i try to open the widgets i get this message:
sony ericsson home (process com.sonyericsson.home) gets force closed
maybe it has something to do with that?
i deleted lglauncher.apk and launcher2.apk and replaced it with a modified arc launcher as main launcher
---------------
im thankful for your advises but i have ZERO knowledge and experience in stuff like adb, apktool, scripts and stuff...
i can handle illustrator or photoshop
if it´s not working, i think i have to let my idea go.....

Hi,

But i have to mention something, as i followed your steps by moving SYSTEM-UI - LGContacts3 - LGMms to System/app , my phone restart it self and as it booted up SMS icon Contact Icon has been changed but, then i moved the FRAMEWORK-RES in system/framework and also overwrite it and then again rebooted again.
After it has been boot up i am keeping receiving crash errors.

PS.
Phone version V10f Euro,
I have also tried to move it one by one and all together, nothing helped , few apps also got crashed (like backup app) .
Any way i have re-downloading V10f again.
Please! backup the files before replacing them.
Move them to any Folder like create "Original" for example and then if something ****ed up u'll be able to restore them.
Thanks in Advance.

SystemUI in the Framework folder... WTF??

Found this out when trying to install the 23 toggle mod. When I installed it, nothing changed. Then I did some searching and found I had a SystemUI.apk in my Framework folder. When I renamed it to keep it there but not functioning, I had no wallpaper and couldn't apply one, but it didn't FC. So I copied the SystemUI from the apps folder to framework folder and did a hot reboot and everything returned including the 23 toggles. Weird again in my phone. Anyone else have this?
