I need links to red icon sets. Can anoyne help?

I went ahead and rooted my phone pretty much for the purpose of custom theming and graphics. This is what I've got so far:

Now, what I need to wrap this up is some nice, red icons, but, I haven't been able to find ICONS anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, and if it matters, I'm running the rooted version of the latest OTA (1.47.65.1.1 or whatever).

Have you checked the theme forum? I am sure there are some in those packages.

Yep, I did, and I didn't see any that were red in the themes posted, and, it seems liek no one just posts icon sets in there.

what kind of icons? for the battery and menu stuff?
What about this?

haha, that's the theme that I'm using! I meant replacement icons for the actual apps themselves.

Hey thank you for the deviantart link. Now, I've already found icons I'd liek to use and have saved them, but can someone point me in the right direction on learning how to apply these to my phone?

I think you will have to explore /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
not positive though, but worth a look

4. Click "Apps" when prompted.
5. Check the box for whether or not you want a caption below the icon.
6. Click the app that you changed the icon for earlier.
7. The app is added to the desktop.
I had that in a chat log.....
or you can go the hard way and edit .apk's, and push them to your phone.
Use gimp or irfanview or whatever photoediting software to resize them for your phone... 72x72 is what they are.

Wow man, thanks a ton. I'm actually about to get started on this now.

And jsut a quick question... the icon packs... I just move them to my sd card right?

ok no problem.
just put all your icons in a folder on your sd card and its pretty simple.
good luck... let me know if you need some more help.
Remember alot of the icons you download are larger than 72x72... you need to resize them!
There are icon packs on the market but they are crappy! Google, DeviantArt... you'll find what you need.

Actually no man, it's turning out GREAT so far. Your instructions were simple and dead-on perfect.

Here's a screeny. Thanks so much guys!

looks good! Good job!

thanks a lot man. I really appreciate your help.
I'm a complete noob to all of this, and within a day you guys have gotten me pretty competent on these things.
This is a great community.

quick question..
how were you able to change the sprint name on your lockscreen and notification?? that looks slick!
oh and awesome setup!

I think one method is through the CDMA workshop. There are a few tutorials on it (in dev section I think?)
But he may know an easier way

Hey he's right. I used the cdma workshop tool... sorry for the late response but I work days and am actually posting this from my evo.
Also, the trick works on both the slider and the header even though its just listed for the slider

RDF Seeker (Windows Application) Updated: 12-13-2011

RDF Seeker for Windows is no longer being actively developed! Please don't post bugs because they are not going to be fixed!
>>Download and changelog<<
RDF Seeker for Android has been released! Check out the beta here​
Hey guys!
So I have asked around how people are checking for new rdf's and everyone has said that they just try entering a name and see what happens.
This to me feels slow, unreliable, and just a plain pain in the ass.
To remedy this process I decided to create a simple application that will scan for rdf files and download them for viewing. (It cleans up after itself don't worry)
I would have to say that this software is in the alpha more so beta stage.
It won't break your computer but not sure if it will work in all cases.
Either way the standard disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything this application does to your computer, grandmother, dog, or brand new car.
Bug List:
The RDF parsing for the viewer is still very basic and may very well show bad info or not work at all.
If you do find an rdf that the viewer doesn't display correctly please send the rdf to me by opening the rdf in notepad (double click the build in the list) and save it to a text file.
Requirements:
Windows (Duh)
.Net 3.5
Notepad (You do have notepad on your computer right?)
Steps to use:
1. Select or type your device name.
2. Enter the build name that you would like to start looking for rdf's after IF required. (Ex. EI22)
3. Enter how many build names you would like to check. (Default is 50, the more you check the longer it takes. Some devices will only return one rdf)
4. Select a build from the list to show its details in the viewer or, double click on it to open it in notepad.
5. Profit????

This one seems outdated, but it works for now.
It must have all the model names (preferably on the same page)
The URL to at least one rdf file for each model where the rest can be found.

No Clue where a new one can be found. But i am liking this. And thanks for not capping the amount you can search. gonna start with the first release for our phones, set it to 10000 builds, and see what i can find yes just for the heck of it.

I can tell you one thing is for sure, while testing I ran quite a few scans (duh) and there are A LOT of builds that went unnoticed.
Can't wait to hear about your results.
This brings up a thought. Maybe I should have an export function?

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.

it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot

i would be interested to see a screen shot...

Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.

Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.

the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.

It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)

First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

[Q] Launch Youtube App By Default

I know this was asked before, I've looked at the threads. How about getting an answer this time? I'm going to give an example so you can understand my problem if you don't. If i'm in an app like Facebook and a friend posts a link to Youtube, a box come up that says complete action using with a few choices of apps to choose from, none of being the Youtube app. I've included an attachment of the screen shot. How do I get Youtube to appear on that list of complete action using? Is there a code? if there is a code, where do I put it? Is this the right code....Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube://" + id);
startActivity(intent);

I don't know what may be wrong, maybe your borked something because mine works fine.

I believe it has to do with the link itself. A lot of times, even though it says you're going to youtube, the link facebook is actually using is a facebook link.
For instance, my wife is a teacher and chipotle was giving out free burritos to all teachers a week or two ago. The link she shared was supposed to be:
ra.chipotle.com/email/13-all-019/13-all-019.htm

It should be easy to see that even though your friend links that crazy cat video directly to youtube, facebook will add their http://www.facebook.com/l/[gibberish]/ to the front of it. When your phone tries to open that link, it sees it as the browser would, to a website (facebook.com), not to youtube. That's why it only gives you browser options, not youtube options.
The problem with trying to set youtube to "see" those links is that this is how facebook links any page. Assuming you could add an intercept to "http://www.facebook.com/l/" to open in youtube (or at least include it in the open prompt), that'll mean all facebook links will have that prompting. That shouldn't be too much of an annoyance, though.
All that being said, I don't know how to add that "intercept" so that youtube is on the prompt. Maybe others can tell you which files to modify.

True...I interpreted it as him just saying that YouTube links would not come up with YouTube in the list
But if you wanted to change it and then choose yourself which links should be open in YouTube, you'd need to change the BroadcastReceiver in the AndroidManifest.xml of the YouTube app to receive all links

Interesting. I'm trying to look through that file on my computer, but my xml editors (read: notepad and notepad++) don't seem to like that file.
But from your explanation, I'm beginning to see that each individual app determines if it's involved in an action. I was hoping there was a mod or app that could "intercept" the requests and let you edit the list right then and there. I was thinking more like Window's "Open with..." command where you can choose any .exe to open a given file. But it appears that you have to modify the apk itself.

If you select the browser ie:dolphin it will then open up the box giving you the choice to select you tube. That is because the link was posted through the browser. If at the point you get to the box with the you tube choice you select it as default it should work from that point on unless you clear cache.

Yup, apps define what actions they wanna receive (scientific term is "Intents" )
And you decompiled the apk first, right?
If it's not specified in the manifest, I don't know of any other way to do it/force it

It seems like a dev could make an app that does just that, though. It could be called "Link Chooser" and it's manifest.xml would indicate that all links open in that program. It would then have it's own whitelist of installed apps and you could indicate which apps you want to open based on link type... I don't even think it'd have to have root access.
Ooohhh, if I had more expertise with android programming, I'd totally make that app and it'd sell like hotcakes on the Play store.

Disabled open in a new tab by scroll-wheel click

I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.

Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?

Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
