Try looking Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912117
the basic concept:
- pull the apks you want to edit the icons for
- use an available tool to decompile the apk
- edit appropriate PNGs
- compile apk and push it back to your phone.. after a reboot (and fixing permissions if necessary), you should have a fancy new icon.
additionally, any launcher with a theme engine should be able to change app icons... I actually prefer this method with ADW ex, it's faster and much easier to clean up if I screw something up.

aloright so im having some problems with editing my framework-res.apk file. I flashed the new notification power control widget and wanted to add my own batter icon and change the widget to be clear along with changing the icons. everything i did works perfectly right now but im getting the circle spinner when i try to change the volume, a white bar at the top of apps like k9 and tapatalk, and a force close when i try to open the preferences of launcher pro (not settings that opens fine). im not sure what the problem is but im guessing it has something to do with the xml files i edited to remove the color on the widget bar or the changes made to make my batter icon work. any ideas on what is going on would be very appreciated!
heres what it looks like now:

I used Better Cut and Folder Organizer to make it. Just do a long press on your home screen and choose shortcut, the better cut and folder organizer options will be there.
where did you get the word icons from?
I would like to know the name of the word icons used on the homescreen as well
I got them from here. He does ask for a small donation but it is well worth it. He even made me some custom icons.
long press on the icon you want to change. choose change icon, custom icon.
More than 100 Android blue/green icons and emoticons.
Feel free to use.
I only ask that you do not redistribute without permission and that you give credit where credit is due.
The blue icons look very nice with Lite'ning Rom.

how do you install them plz
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Im not sure what you mean by 'install'. THese are just regular icons [not an installable .adb]
I use an app called 'Folder organizer' to change icons on the homescreen... its available from the Market.
If you want to replace the emoticons, however, you need to modify your 'framework res' and replace the originals with these in order for them to show up.
Very nice icons. Thanks.
Nice, thanks for that!
Live profile icons:
and Age of Zombies icons:
so i installed folder organizer, but i still have no idea how to get my normal icons to turn blue.
tried it all from preferences till importing something.
just dont get it to work. all i can do is make custom colors..
tnx in advance!
Hey guys, i know i could probably find this from another thread, but can anyone spare me the time and tell me how changing the icons to text works? or what app or launcher is required? Im sure someone can answer this quick for me lol

Get a bunch of text based icons and something like Nova Launcher that will let you change the icons to the text ones.
Or...
Or download the Simple Text app and the Desktop Visualiser app from Market and get text icons on stock launcher home screen...

I'm trying to mod stock systemUI.apk, but I've noticide a little bug. When I apply any skin, it doesn't change top bar picture. Anyone know how to fix this?
p.s. if I change this png in systemUI.apk it lags notification pulldown. I need him to take a png from skin, not from systemUI.apk

That's a known bug with srock, I'm not sure if there is a fix for it.
