Edit: I'm going to put together the information I've learned from asking this question and the links and post them here thanks to everyone that helped me I know I still have allot to learn so anymore info would be greatly appreciated
There are a couple options afaik.
You can use ADW Launcher, which will let you choose any picture/logo/icon for any app you put on yr homescreen. I use almost all Launcher Pro icons in my ADW Launcher.
Or, much more involved and complete, rip open the apk in question and replace the icon with one of ur choosing.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I was thinking of trying to open the apk because I like sense but not shute what programs I need or what to look for but I'm willing to learn.

You really just need the program 7zip.
After you have it set up, right click on any apk, highlight 7zip, and pick open archive. The icon you'll want to change is in res/drawables andshould be called icon. Be sure any new icon you put in there is the same format, size and name. I have never made my own icons, just used others, I recommend icons from droidicons.com/launcherpro That may not be the exact page, but Google it if you like the minimalist theme.

Thanks I'll give it a try in the morning I'm trying to use riptide's glass icons just to make everything match but I think I'll look at the others you suggested too and post some screens when I'm done

change icons
You need a program called NinjaMorph its not hard to learn biut once you do you can google any image and use it as an icon to the apk of your choice.
****, Ninjamorph looks like a sweet idea, haven't used it yet, but may have to give it a try.

Keep in mind that NinjaMorph only works on System Apps and does not work on Market Apps. If you want to change Market Apps the only way to do so is to open the apk and insert them.
[Obviously, you could use an alternative launcher but that only changes the icon on your home screen and not in the Apps Drawer]

Yeah, I have always just used 7zip to edit the apk's before install.

Sorry, there is a bit more to it.
You also need to delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
I use this signing tool APK Signing Tool
It's an edited version of a zip signer. I didn't make it, got everything from this old thread Editing APK's

Thanks good thread. So using these will rewrite the meta file that I delete? After I do this I assume that the market apps will have to be manually updated and edited again.

Yep, a new meta-inf is built for you.
When there's updates for apps, it sucks, gotta redo everything
I went through and did all mine to Launcher Pro style icons, thought I was done, then the updates start rolling in and screwing with everything. Now, when I try a new ROM, I just preload it with all my edited apps before flashing, makes for a bunch of work up front, but it sure is nice to just flash, sync, and go. Then I disable all updates until it looks like something important is fixed/added.
And slightly off topic, what's the deal with market app developers putting out like 27 updates every week, driving me crazy. I know I have a lot of apps, but it seems like every time I look, 19 updates available. And I gotta go look at change logs and waste all my precious time at work when I should be getting stuff done, it's all their fault when my crews production runs low
I know exactly what you mean but it seems like some of them update everyday. Thank you for all the help was hopeing to be finished tonight but my nice just crashed my computer but as soon as I get it back up and going I'll be good the one good thing about it is it gives me a chance to do a dual boot with linux

I hate to say it but I actually prefer the candy coating user experience of Sense to that of Stock Android. While playing with CM5 there were many things I liked and many I didn't. As a result I went back to Sense. Perhaps it just because it's what I have grown to know over the last couple days.
Anyway, the one thing in CM I really did like was the Photo Gallery, which included Picasa. Anyone know what I can do to get that Photo Gallery into Sense?
I think I might play with some other Sense ROMs today. Maybe someone has already done the work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
i may be able to make a zip for you. wow im busy tonight. i have to make a theme for the droid/milestone, a theme and two zips for sense roms.

I don't mind doing it myself. I just need a push in the right direction. I'm technically inclined but 3 days new to Android. What exactly am I looking for? Is the stock Photo Gallery a widget or app of sorts?
If you are willing to send me something later, that's cool too. I'm just trying to suck in as much info as possible. I don't want to cook or anything but I'd like to be able to have better control of what I can do to my existing ROM.
Thanks!

it is an app. if you want a zip i can make one. if not, the app is located in the system/app folder of cm5. all you have to do is put the app in the tools folder of the sdk and adb push gallery.apk /system/app in rcovery.

So I installed the app and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks.
I'd like a widget or something for it so it's open on a home screen without needing to open the app. Additionally, is there any modding of the app file that I can do fix or remove the camera button. It doesn't seem to work in Sense.
Thanks again for all your help.

There is the possibility it could also be a widget. I may be mistaken, but I think unless you actually installed the gallery, in order to use the widget you'd have to delete some file. Again, I may be mistaken, I haven't tried this.
EDIT: I'm just thinking this because I remember in order to properly remove the Facebook/Twitter/etc widgets from stock, one had to remove some sort of database to force a widget database refresh, because it only does that on a legit (un)install

it seems whatever CM7 version mods he has on his website are using the old update method, so wont work with CMR3. and pushing the framework-res.apk manually gives a boot loop, so hmm. ill have to contact him and see whats up...
You just have to use amend2edify I think that's what its called there is a script floating around that makes things work in 3.0

thanks for the tip. i also found out that the CM7 versions on his website arent for the DInc. the folders within the framework-res.apk all have "-v4" tacked on the end. example: they are named "drawable-res-v4" instead of what the DInc CM7 has "drawable-res." and you cant just rename it because then the XMLs wont link to the files properly. and i dont know how to compile those so, ill have to see what i can figure out... thanks tho.

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

If this is something you really want I can do it for you. I would say do it yourself but the battery % mod can be a little tricky. I am assuming you just want the stock battery icons then?

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?

The only problem is I lose a row of apps on my drawer.
Also, but this is just nitpicking, I don't really like the icon on my status bar.
But if there's nothing else, I'll stick with this. So thanks!

You can set it to not show the icon in the status bar.

Lol, I'm such a noob!
Now if only I could get that last row of apps to show, that would be nice.

i dont think you can with this app because it doesnt readjust the grid it just rotates and squishes it so most of it fits

Right, there's a bit of the top showing though, and I can still open the app.
Except for the one in the middle, because the page indicator is right there.
I would still prefer a modified launcher though.
But I'm using this until, hopefully, someday a modded touchwiz appears on the scene.
I remember I had one on my Galaxy s 4g.

How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true
Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.
Save recompile install. Enjoy

If it is not too much to ask, Can you Please do this for us coz i need this for my phone too. right now i am using Apex Launcher but i would rather use TouchWiz. if you decompile it and then upload it here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. i don't know anything about decompiling otherwise i would do it myself..
I'm on gs3. Can you upload a copy of yours?
Can you put it in dropbox? I can take a look after work.

I tried uploading my framework res. apk, but it's too big a file.
I'm trying to learn how to decompile, but my step daughter just took the computer from me, to talk to her grandma in Brazil.
I'm gonna try later though.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm a noob at decompiling.
So what I did was change the extension from framework-res.apk to .zip, and extract it.
In the /res/ folder there is no /values folder.
I've been searching for a bools.xml folder, but no luck.
Is this something that will only show by decompiling?
Or is the GN2 framework diferent from the GS3 one?
TIA
That would work to edit images. You need to use apktool (search it ) to decompile the file before you can edit those values. I will be home in about an hour if you can find somewhere to upload it i can take a look. However i believe if you look up apktool it will be pretty easy to do yourself. Just dont forgot to make a backup in case something goes off

Yeah, I've been following this guide, but I always get an error when decompiling.
Hmm, let me try a dropbox link.
Let me know if that was successful.
Thanks for all your help!
Modded framework
http://db.tt/8HUWcSFN
needs renamed because I'm lazy
Here is a flashable zip. Disregard it saying edge zoom. It's an old zip. It works on s3 may not be the right flasher for you but you can try it
http://db.tt/biIOIpUC
Oh yes also. I looked at the guide you are following and got lost. There are several quality guides on this site. Here is a good one for beginners

Thanks for all your trouble.
However, I got the file on your first link, renamed it to framework-res.apk, and copied it to system/framework.
As I started to get a lot of force closes, I did a reboot.
This resulted in an endless boot loop, which forced me to pull my battery, get into recovery, and restore my system.
So back to the drawing board, I guess.
I still appreciate all your help. Thanks for using your time to help a stranger. :thumbup:

I'm uploading a zip to replace the modded with the original. Try installing from recovery and if that still boot loops try fixing permissions. Only thing i changed was the bools.XML
If it still fails you should be able to use this remove zip

So, you're saying flash the the zip on the second link in your previous post.
And if that goes wrong, flash the zip on this latest post?
I'm at work right now, but I'll try later tonight.
Thanks.

Funny I'm just headed out to work. The first post has a zip to install screen rotating. The second post is your unmodified original framework so when you try the modified again. if it does not work, you can replace with the original file from the second post instead of having to wait through a full reset
That does seem odd. Maybe it's the flashable file. It was for my gs3. I've replaced them with the update scripts from a Galaxy note 2 package. They are the same download links as before. I verified that it is the modified file there. Was there any error? Did you verify that it actually copied the file? Easiest to tell by looking at the date it was modified. Its really not that great of a mod anyway. The constant rotation gets annoying and this method doesn't give a toggle. Still try the new zips and see if that makes the difference

Well, I flashed the ScreenRotation.Zip, and while nothing wrong happened, nothing happened at all! Everything is just normal, no screen rotation.
Bummer, huh?
