[Solved]Where is phone dock icon?

I have been using 7zip to replace icons for my docked apps. The only one that has eluded me so far is the phone icon. I found the stock green phone icon in res\drawable and replaced it but it did not change on the app or dock. Usually the icon for others was in res\drawable-hdpi. Soooo my question is where the heck is the one I need to change. Thanks.

I believe its in dialertabactivity.apk
Thats where it takes the icon from

Now, any idea where that default apps icon is stored? The white 16 square rectangle that Zeam, launcher and LP use? Is it in Framework-res? I can't find it in Zeam so think it is in the system somewhere. Thanks.

What launcher are you using? It is in the laucher. I use adwex, one of its features is the ability to change the icons....I change them all the time.

Zeam. It's not in the drawable-hdpi where I found all my other icons for apps.

The way I do it sometimes it just open the apk with 7zip, the take the res folder and drag it to the desktop, or whatever, open it in windows, and change the view to large icons, then you can look at all the images in the apk and find what you want.

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, but Zeam has so many drawables... I guess I have no choice but to look at them all. Really though the apps icon was a system default a lot of launchers used.
Got it! Had a wierd name action_apps_grid or something like that. Thanks for the help. I have made my phone my own now...

Theme help?

How would I go about changing the color of the battery icon, 3g icon and everything else in the notification bar and notification area in a theme I didn't build?
Or change the entire color scheme of a finished theme?

You'll need the framework-res.apk. Open it with winrar or 7zip, navigate to /res, and drag the folder drawable-hdpi to your desktop or wherever. Inside there you'll find a lot of images that you may or may not want to alter. Once altered, go back to that framework-res.apk that you have opened but not altered, delete the matching .png, and simply drag your altered .png into the archive. That's the simplest way to make changes, as decompiling/recompiling a themed framework usually yields issues.

Edit....

Just so you know, the notification icons for messaging and email and stuff are in the apks themselves. If you need any help let me know.

Yeah it took me a little while and then I was like oh wait you can look inside apks with winrar and I found the res folder so im coloring everything right now.... so .... many..... files.... its gonna take a while.... could I take maddoggin's 6 lock screen mod and just drop it in the theme or is there some files I would have to change first to accomplish this

How do you make the edges of an icon clear... I changed the lockscreen sliders icon and the edge of the icon is hanging over the slider

Which icons are you talking about? Launcher, notifications, status bar? There are a few different ones. Is there a specific style you are looking for? What rom are you on and is it rooted?

Manually icons?

Is there a simple way to manually change icons? Not just for homescreen but in the app drawer as well

I don't understand you

Install a 3rd party launcher like Nova. It'll change the icons on your home screen as well as the app drawer. That's after you download and apply icon pack.

Also I know theres some Icon packages by Black Bear Blanc over in his thread that Themes EVERY icon, no matter what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804627
or look at the icons here on his playstore:

Personally, If I ever feel the need to really change an icon, Ill photoshop it myself and replace it in the res folder of the app and re-install.

Well then there is no easy way to do it. You'll have to do what the guy above me said.

That icon changer app only changes the homescreen icon
So unzip the apps apk with 7zip then replace the icon file in the res folder? I might be able to do that.
I had a Meego Icon pack once that I could just add icons using a template from Nokia. It was packed as an apk so I could just add icons using 7zip and install it.
Do you know where icon pack apks are located? Maybe if I can pull it off the phone then I can add icons to the icon pack

If you're using a launcher like apex or nova you can change the icon and name by holding down the app icon and choosing edit
If that's not what you want then use the icon changer app above

Icons on touchwiz

I would like to has anybody found a way to to change or add icon packs while remaining on stock touchwiz launcher now I'm rooted at this time but I would like to keep touchwiz launcher but change how my icons look any help would be helpful
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

It's very simple actually to change apps and system icons if you are rooted and running custom recovery. That's how all available themes works. Launcher doesn't matter.
Get some theme, take a look at the zip folder/file structure inside and you'll see how easy is to replace any kind of apk resources making your custom icon pack.

Try anycut or bettercut and or desktop visualizer.
