I got this idea from a thread where someone was asking for a certain icon pack and I suggested to go one by one and grab the icon from each apk. I then thought to myself that this could all be automated. So here it is:
Ultimate Extractor
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have 4 choices:
-> 6a: If you want everything (.pngs, .jpgs, .xmls) run UltimateExtractor.bat
-> 6b: If you want only icons (icon.png or ic_launcher*.png) run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6c: If you want almost every single .png run PngExtractor.bat
-> 6d: If you want to run Ultimate Extractor on .apks and not a whole zip file, run UltimateExtractorApk.bat *NEW*
Thanks to ultra spikey for his theme porter script which I based mines off of and thanks to woelv for the thread that got me to do this.

ICon EXtractor v1.0
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have to choices:
-> 6a: If you want every single icon, run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6a -> 1: You will be prompted twice
-> 6a -> 2: Hit 'u' and enter at both prompts
-> 6b: If you dont want to be prompted, run IconExtractor_NoPrompt.bat
7. All the icons will now be in folder C:\icex\icons
The reason that the non prompting one won't give you all the icons is because a lot of icons are named "icon.png" so they end up overwriting each other. Also some of the ic_launcher* icons have the same name as well (such as ic_launcher_gallery). The prompting script gives you the option to automatically rename the .pngs as they are extracted. I will try and find a way around this eventually.
I will try to find a way to get all the icons without being prompted (its a 7z thing)

hehe thanks man .. if only i could get it to be perfect
nice work! now you need another tool to repack the icons. so people can extract icons from one place and repack them automatically into another. that would be perfect since people who extract the icons want to use it for another app or theme.

Maybe you could create folders for each apk. So that the icons can be easily identified?
Great work, by the way!

i was able to get them into folders for each apk but i was having trouble getting them to the root of each folder (they were in res/drawable within each folder which is what im trying to avoid)
ill keep working on it and see if i can get them into the root of their own folders
EDIT: found a huge bug which ill be fixing for the next update

This would make mylife ten times easier to port themes. I have to search through the whole rom to get the png's I need. It takes around 4 hours to do. Plus some of the older roms png's have different names for them. Mostly on the Framework. Does it extract the png's from the Framework as well?
Yea it should be doing so but ill double check to make sure
EDIT: no i wasnt doing it before but i implemented it now
ok new update
have everything in separate folders now
enjoy
ALSO, for anyone who's curious .. that 'huge bug' is due to some themes having an 'app' folder while others have 'system/app' ... my script wasnt working with the 'app' folder before ... now it tests for it
EDIT: had to re up it real quick with a small fix

this isnt changing the icons in your phone .. this extracts the icons from any theme and puts them in a folder on your computer .... its mainly a help to theme devs or anyone looking just for icons
Ohhh ok good thanks for the reply
This program works great....Only one thing though, on the launcher folder, seems like the png's w/ the same name get over writen. Example= "delete_handle" from Res/drawable-land AND Res/drawable-port aren't two different Png's. Maybe for this apk and others with thhe same folders, you could place them in the original folders----Drawable----Drawable-land----Drawable-port, as you said it work before hand. Some other folder/Png's are missing as well...
I tryed to use UltraSpikey's theme converter and was unsucessful. I was More accurate using this method, thanks to you... It is gladly appreciated...

yea the overwriting pisses me off but its the only way to get it fully automated .. i will add a second version that will prompt to rename any pngs ... or i can try to get the drawable, drawable-land, and drawable-port right ... can you let me know which folders are missing so i can see why?
Can't wait until saturday night, i'm off work, so i can play with this. Thanks for your hard work!

now they get extracted into their respective folders (drawable, drawable-land, drawable-port, etc) (also this stops the overwriting )

no problem man .. just trying to use what ive learned so far to help out the community
Works perfect now!!!
Ten Thumbs up!!!!!!
Now its like stealing candy from the baby...
Any ideas that i should implement .. it feels sorta 'final' but i can always try and optimize/revise/add to it
There's always room for improvement... How about making this script pull the Jpeg"s off the Framework and Launcher??? Then at a later date(Next update) locate the most common edited Xml's files to be pulled off next...
Is it even possible to remove default wallpaper? Sorry for the stupid question.
If what you mean is to change the default wallpaper, I think you could modify the framework-res.apk file. There's a resource file called default_wallpaper.png (or close to that, I forget ) change it with an image you want, I believe there's a tutorial about that in XDA
If you want to change your current wallpaper, you could do a long press at your homescreen and select wallpaper
Hope this helps,

Yeah yeah! Default wallpaper is what i meant. Where is this framework-res.apk file that i can change? Hmmm.
I found the framework-res.apk file, but couldn't find the default_picture.png?

This is how I did it :
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Install "root explorer" or such application (I assume you know how to use it, if not, google it, it's not hard,really)
3. Copy the original framework-res.apk (in /system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your SD card, copy it to your PC.
4. Use 7-zip to open the framework-res.apk from your phone
5. Move to "\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" (see screenshot)
6. Look for "default_wallpaper.jpg" (see screenshot again)
7. Now, you could just change that file with another file, choose the wallpaper of your choice, and resize it to match the resolution of the "default_wallpaper.jpg" (if it's 400x800, your new file SHOULD have the same resolution, to prevent... I don't know, just to be on the safe side )
8. Rename your new file to Default_wallpaper.jpg, and drag it to the 7-zip window with the original default_wallpaper.jpg, overwrite it
9. Push the new framework-res.apk to your phone (use root explorer or adb, I used the root explorer)
10. Reboot phone
NOTE!!
I haven't tried to change the default wallpaper, but I do change many parts of the framework-res.apk, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Step 4 is not that clear Reidzeibel, you mean open it on my phone or PC?
Oh sorry, I mean, open the file on your PC (it's the one that you modify, and later push it to overwrite the original framework-res.apk)
And before doing anything to your handheld, prepare a nandroid backup just in case. I did a nandroid backup everytime I modify the Android system files.

Dude :
-I extracted framework-res.apk using 7zip on my PC.
-I replaced the default wallpaper with my desired wallpaper.
-Now, i do not know how to compressed it back to .apk file.
No, don't extract it, just open it in 7-zip and leave it opened, don't extract, don't do anything, just find the image file you want to change, resize it to match the resolution of "default_wallpaper.jpg".
I've attached two more screenshots to show you, hope it helps
Regards,
Reidzeibel
P.S:
-In the "drag" screenshot, I replaced three files, those with entries on the "created" and "accessed" field are the ones I replaced, the files I edit are shown in the explorer window behind the 7-zip window

Bro,
I did exactly as you show the steps above and it suddenly reboots! Why it happened?
EDIT :
By doing all those methods, will it change the lockscreen a well?
P/S : Do you know how to modify the transition when locking the phone? Just asking!

Uh, I had no reboot while doing the push, I rebooted manually after having several force close windows popped up (in my case), but then after reboot, it works normally. Is the default wallpaper changed?
No, Lockscreen wallpaper have it's own option in the settings->display
And for the transition, no I didn't have time to try it yet. But I do want to learn how to change my phone lockscreen transition into ICS manually (without theme) <--- this, or your question is about the crt-animation when screen turns off (locking phone)?

1. My phone rebooted itself and then there were some FC's with the launcher. I clicked on Force Close and it is back to normal. My default wallpaper changed as i desired as well! Thanks to you Reidzeibel!
2. For lockscreen wallpaper, there's nothing related to modifying the framework, is it?
3. Due to lockscreen transition, i meant that by changing the transition into ICS manually because i LOVE the old-tv-like transition!

1. Mine was : Force close ALL THE WAY =___=, then the notification bar screwed up, all applications icon turned to default, the phone became laggy, then I rebooted manually. There's the thanks button, click it, LOL
2. As far as I know, All theme-related files are :
-Framework-res.apk
-SystemUI.apk
-Settings.apk
These three files have some connection to the theme, I themed my notification bar as in the first post by modifying Framework-res and SystemUI. The ICS theme file in the Theme Thread has the three files included inside it. Thus to edit the lockscreen transition, I believe you have to edit the three files, in a more complicated way (might have to deodex, decompile, recompile, smali-ing, and so on)
3. Actually you could just apply the ICS theme, and then modify the framework-res.apk to enable the CRT-animation, it is easier than porting the ICS theme to your own framework-res.apk

1. Clicked it already! Hehe.
2. I think i'm gonna opt that out as i do not how to do those complicated stuffs, well i'm not a dev.
3. ICS Theme? Where do i find it? And how do i modify to enable CRT-animation? I have so much to learn! Sorry for the excessive '?'.
1. Thanks for clicking thanks )
2. I'm not a dev too -_-, but I do learn some stuffs to modify my I8150, read many topics here, and I'm sure you'd be able to personalize your I8150
3. There's one at the Theme thread, But I haven't tried it yet, If you want to try it, make sure you create a nandroid backup beforehand.
No worries about the excessive "?"
Actually I have a thread in another forum that explains about the CRT-animations and modifying SystemUI & Framework-res.apk, read it somewhere in XDA. (forget where it is) Too bad it is in Indonesian Language, too busy to translate it into english, maybe later I'll post at the theme section, as it is all about theme. *and I just reached 10 post here on XDA, thanks to you too )*

Mister Reidzeibel, thanks for the short reply as well as your helps. I appreciate it dude! Thanks AGAIN! For default wallpaper, i'm really quite satisfied with the outcome. For the lockscreen, maybe i'll just use my picture as one. HAHA! And for the lockscreen transition, i have posted a new thread about it and i'll just...wait for someone to provide me the tips to do so! Good day bro!
About me
I didnt see any thread with ALL guides in ONE place. And I think alot people want to know how to do this or that. Its also clearer for myself to have an all-in-one placed tutorials! So with all the help of awesome people and myself Im gonna teach you stuff! All credits goes to other people. Ask Q ONLY in this thread! Dont expect too much: I modify this thread very rarely!
Requirements
Notepad++ [editing /xml]
Apktool [Basic knowledge of compiling apks] Helpfull link: click
Root explorer [to push apk back to your phone]
7zip [to replace .pngs]
Nandroid backup [important]
Guides
1. How to get custom statusbar?
To replace your statusbar with a custom .png go to:
SystemUI.apk/res/values/drawables.xml search this line
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">
make changes as
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">@drawable/statusbar</item>
now place statusbar.png file in drawable folder then recompile.
2. How to get my home-screen?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVoXrS-RWBY
3. How to delete text under toggles?
This is hardest part cuz Lidroid is 'different'. First, follow this to succesfully decompile it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31991217&postcount=1
After that, go to: res\layout\power_widget_button.xml
Add this: visibility="gone" to TextView and it should be gone now!
You can also delete the text WiFi, Bluetooth, Silent, etc. in the strings.xml in values folder!
4. How to modify framework?
Just replace .pngs in your drawable-res-hdpi folder!
This will change all system actions, like pop-up look, buttons look, and alot more!
5. How to change background in settings / dialer?
Remember: You CANT change for dialer AND settings it can only be done for both. Go to framework-res.apk > res > drawable-nodpi > tw_dialog_bg [kind of this]
And replace with SAME format and same name! now you hav this bg in file manager, settings, an much more!
6. How to change grid size of touchwiz launcher?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990801
This thread tells you which size: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990801
And this is also usefull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28561607&postcount=1690
7. Change icon of system apps [dont work with market ones]
Go to the apk and look for the icon, just extract the folders and you'll see it. Replace it with an icon-pack from this thread: clik
So no need to decompile and after this just push back to sysem/app dont forget to set perm.
8. Custom bootanimation on stock based kernels [speedmod]?
So, we love the stability and battery of speedmod kernel. But also get rid of the boring samsung boot. The steps:
Your bootanimation MUST HAVE FINITE REPEAT VALUES, otherwise you will be stucked in a beautiful boot loop.
*What is this?
Open your zip and see the txt file. The number after all "p" must be HIGHER than 0. It means how many times this part will repeat, and 0 is infinite
1- Pick your desired bootanimation.zip and make two clones. Rename them to ODEAnim.zip and sanim.zip
3- Move the three zip files to /system/media
4- Go to /system/bin. Backup and delete the file samsungani. Rename the file bootanimation (this file you find in this folder; it ISNT your zip file) to samsungani.
5- Reboot
Error guides
* By theming you ll always run into problems. Like bootloops. Mostly its with framework-res.apk. If you get bootloop try this: click And if your system suddendly reboots after replacing framework-res its normal, just wait and reboot one more time. You can also try wipe cache and dalvik! But it isnt normal when u got statusbar fc then you have recompile errors or did sth wrong.
* When you try to push files back after theming and your file manager says: cannot paste. That means you havent enough space in your /system partition. Deleting useless [system] apps and 'tts' folder can free up alot! U can also buy micro SD and with TB move apps2sd

Hello !
How i can change the icons in the App-Drawer ?
Is there an App like Winterboard for iOS ?
I use a HTC DHD with CM 10.1
Thanks !
Depending on the launcher your using there are icon packs in market but it won't change all of them. You can get experimental and open the apks and change the PNG images but I would do a Full Research on how to come about it cause its no easy task. You can change the .apk to .zip unzip find PNG change rezip change .zip back to .apk then sign it. Its how I do mines but like I said do your research and backup rom before you attempt anything. Enjoy the learning. By the way there is an app that signs the apk for you on the phone. I am out now but I will upload it with instructions for you as soon as I can get to my computer.
Just install apk open it then click button (Choose In/Out) find apk you want to sign then click button (Sign The File). You will then have two files in the folder one signed the other not signed.

Ok thank you ! You mean i must add my new Icon to the IconPack.apk ?
Where i can find the right Names for the Icons ?
And must i delete a Folder before sign the App ? I see this in other Sign-HowTo, but this dont work.
So many Questions ...
No do not delete any folders all your doing is changing the PNG. But make sure the new PNG is the same size as the one being replaced as well as named exactly as the old one. Icon is located in : res folder > drawable-hdpi folder

7zip, any image editor that you're comfortable with and a text editor with syntax highlighting.

The .hwt is just a .zip renamed .. download a theme .hwt rename it in .zip and unzip it then modify what you want
On old version of Huawei HiSuite we can create theme but only compatible with Emui 1.6 today we don't have any software this functionality was deleted .
OK, but when I unzip the theme, I don't find the battery icon in the nav bar, which is the thing I want to modify. I want to change it to another one, how is that possible?

Rename all the files that contains the theme like .rar and after extract them and look that contain every one

Thanks for the advice. :good:
I also decompiled the xblast.apk but many questions came to mind, it's not as easy as I thought to just change one little icon. :laugh:
I find only 2 smali files for stock battery (B513). In Xblast apk there are also 2 smali files for circle battery, but I found many more battery smali files and I have no idea what exactly I have to change.
I have attached screenshots for the smali files I found in systemui.apk and xblast.apk and also the systemui.apk itself and xblast.apk
Any help will be appreciated.

You don't need any smali files only the .PNG files of circle battery and replace them with the battery PNG in systemui.apk, res , drawable-xhdpi

Can you tell exactly what have you done? Because the method described by macklon should work.
You have a .hwt file (for example theme.hwt). Then you change the name of that file from theme.hwt to theme.zip, unzip that file and edit what you want. After that, add all files and folders (just everything extracted from the original theme.zip) to a zip archive (for example theme1.zip. The structure inside theme1.zip should be the same as in theme.zip). Finally, rename theme1.zip to theme1.hwt and that's it.

I have created this application:
[First & New] Huawei Theme Creator App Emotion UI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...emotion-ui-t3135067/post61343610#post61343610
Ok, I exported all relevant graphical content from EMUI. To extract this all files, you'll need to have 7zip. Files are in 3 .zip archieves because of restriction of xda uploads to 20MB.
