Hello everyone
I would like to say first that i did use the search but didnt find the answer i needed.
So here goes
I'm trying to install a full icon set on my Galaxy S I9000 but i have no idea how to do that
example:
DINIK's "HD2" IconSet
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591248
When i search i see people using bettercut or apps organizer and some other app to apply the icon packs.
I'm getting the idea you have to apply them 1 by 1 but i hope its not the case.
I'm using ADW launcher if that helps
many thanks in advance
I dont know if I understand you, but if you want to apply icon packs or multiple icons using ADW, then you need to install an ADW theme. Else you have to do it one by one using any other app (e.g. Bettercut) or using ADWs icon packs via the custom shortcut option. These only work on home screens as far as i know, I'm not sure if you can change the icon in the app drawer if you are trying to do that too.
Or you can just make your own ADW theme..
i've been looking for an app that can change icons (app drawer included) but to no avail. i'm using LPP
It would be great to be able to edit the drawer icons with ease, but dont think its possible

First of all... I am not sure if you know this but these icons seem to be for Windows Mobile and not Android so I dont know if they will work.
Secondly... I am running Launcher Pro Plus and use an app called Desktop Visualizer to change my icons.
What you need to do is find the icon packs in a zip file format and either unzip them directly to your SGS or unzip them to the computer and transfer the images to your device via USB. From there you startup Desktop Visualizer and follow the prompts for selecting the icon of your choice, linking it to its function, etc...
I hope this helps. If anyone has an easier way please advise...

Folder Organizer lets you assign different icons to apps/folders/contacts/etc. It automatically scans your system for icons, which is cool, but you still have to apply them one by one. This doesn't change the icons in the app drawer though. If I understand correctly, to change an app's icon you need to edit the .apk before installing.
@ jumba
i need better cut.. @ market it is paid.. is there any free link or lite version

Also Folder Organizer is VERY slow....
Clicking the normal icon is instant... clicking you handmade Folder Organizer version of that icon takes 2 secs before the app even starts.
Looks good, but slower then normal.
I think the only way to do the correctly is to edit the framework.apk or something.
Until now I have had no succes finding the icons in any apk to replace them...
Idealy you want to unzip an apk, replace al the icons you want and flash it back.

But to do that you need to resign the apk files (if it's a market app). Not a easy thing to do.
Not sure if this belongs in the Dev section or here.
Anyway, attached is a screenshot of my homescreen. I am wondering how to edit the Google+ widget to give it a transparent background instead of the dark bg.
I know how to edit photos and apply a transparent bg, etc., I am just not sure how to edit the widget itself. Is it a matter of getting the .apk and extracting an image to edit? I used to edit icons for my iOS devices, so I assume this might be the same with .apk files ...
Any tips would be helpful!
Thanks!
I'd like to know too. I tried to edit the widget background for the honeycomb music app to be semi-transparent by taking the trans widget background from sense music widget.
Honeycomb music apk had a file called appwidget_bg.9.png so i renamed the one from sense to that name using 7zip, but new apk wouldnt install for me.
Not sure if any of this helps you. But I'd like to know too.
In the apk, there should be a folder called res or resources, i forget. Pretty sure relevant file is in there if I remember correctly. Good luck.

I've modded the app.
instructions:
- install the app from the market (you already have it installed so you may be able to skip this step)
- remove the widget if its on one of the screens
- use root exprlorer to copy the file I posted to the /data/app folder
- set the permissions (rw-r--r--)
- readd the widget
that worked for me.

Thanks but I get force close when I try.

I thought I would try the above mod again and it still force closes. Does anyone else know how to get the google+ transparent widget? Martijua's mod is exactly what I am looking for, but for some reason it doesn't work. :-(
Thanks!
So I made an apk for zooper containing clock widgets, and I used many 3rd party fonts for it.
When I saved the widget to build apk , fonts are saved as .ttf.jet and I built the apk with eclipse .
But now people are reporting that they can't see the fonts I used.
Am I doing anything wrong or is it an issue with zooper?
Here's my app if you wanna take a look at. You can see the fonts I used in the preview while applying the widget.

You step into the same trap is I did mate. The solution to it is quite simple though: delete the .jet extensions from the font files and re-compile, then it should work again.
But before you do that, do me a favor and save your current eclipse project as a ZIP and send it to [email protected]. The dev said the problem with .jet-fonts should have been fixed and that he needed samples to work it out. Put a description in the email about your problem so he knows what it's about. I already send in a sample but the more the better, especially if they are from different sources

Fanks! I'll do that.
Hi,
This is a complete newbie question.
I am new to android, so pardon me for this naive issue.
I can see very nice themes in themer where they have used icons in widgets.
But, in my zooper, i only have weather and battery icons. I downloaded some iconset from devianart (like ipapun.deviantart.com/art/Devine-Icons-Part-2-141129260) and put it in zooper icons folder, but zooper is unable to access it.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Zooper needs iconsets that are prepared to be used with it. Have a look through this thread to find icon sets that are already setup in the correct way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084070. Be alert to the fact that Zooper has two icon set modules: scalable for font based icon sets and bitmap for picture based icon sets. You have to add the appropriate module to your Zooper widget to use an icon set of a type.
Also many people just use icon fonts like Font Awesome or Android Developer Font directly to render icons in their widgets. These are used by adding a font module, selecting the font and then entering the character that renders the icon you want.
Hi,
As I checked the thread you suggested, it shows that most of the icons are conditional, with either charging or weather. So, taking hints from that, I tried to create a iconset with file structure :
├
Code:
── config.xml
└── icons
└── Mail.png
and put it inside a tar-zipped file, name mono.zip.
The config.xml is:
Code:
<config>
<title>mono</title>
<description>Monochrome icons</description>
<icons>icons</icons>
<image>Mail.png</image>
</config>
I have placed the file in Internal Storage/zooper/IconSets But I am still unable to make zooper recognize it.
The file is also attached.
Kindly advice.

You XML is only partial Zooper compliant. Check this page what the different tags mean and also see the two pages linked on it to get a better understanding how Zooper iconsets are configured.
Thanks a lot! I have managed to make my first icon set. No small deal for 2nd week in android!!
Anyone knows if we can modify themes via the phone files or maybe even create one ? The theme market s*cks so bad and wich i could implant an icon pack. (I miss nova launcher for that feature)
Thanks ?
You would think they have some kind of theme maker since they have a theme store on the Chinese version. If you look at .NubiaTheme/theme_infos/using/icons the icons file is just a zip file with the icons in it. Maybe they can be changed in there. And also take a look at description.xml I would but don't have time at the moment.
Icons seems to be packaged in a root file. Cant open. Description xml is empty ??*
Rename icons and add the .zip extension then you can look what's inside. Also use a note editor of some sort to read the xml files.
I use the theme apk and downloaded one of the free themes. It put the them in .NubiaThemes/theme_infos I was able to change the wallpaper and icons and went back into the theme app and was able to apply the theme with the new wallpapers and icons. So by doing this you can make your own custom themes.
I found out you can change other things like the background of the dialer, messages, etc... But need the xml config file from a theme that has the items listed so I know what I can change. And you can preset your fonts in the xml also. I've tried all the free ones they have so far and there pretty much the same, different main background and icons. There has to be a default file that has that info in it. I will try and guess what the config is maybe I will get somewhere.
Ok cuz even my friend who creates themes for android is baffled.... xD
Download activity launcher and search Nubia theme within the application. That allows you to change to nubias provided themes
Here is an idea of what you can change
Im not talking about simply changing or mixing themes. Talking about edit the xml file to be able to change every color,menus or icon the way you want.

i replaced most of the icons and renamed them to match the apps and all but a few worked I did about 30so far Im still needing the names to a few like the playstore etc...
So what i did was took the icon folder renamed it to icon.zip then uncompressed it removed all the icons so I could get an idea of the names of them and one by one replaced them.
Then I zipped the res folder thats inside of icons and named it icons.zip , renamed it to just icons remove the .zip and copy back in the theme folder where it came from. Change to that theme and your icons will be changed.
So here is an example I wanted to change chrome's icon. I found the icon I wanted to use and named it com.android.chrome.png put that in the icon folder and your done now you have to go in and replace each and find the names of them.
Here is a screen shot of mine changed but the playstore and some google apps I havent worked on yet.

What was the source folder of the icons ? Ive tried using the icon folder from sdcard/.nubiatheme/ theme_mix/using but didnt work
Sorry about that, input the wrong folder in my previous post. It's actually theme_infos I just now saw it and went back and corrected it.

Make sure you have the theme.apk from the Chinese phone version installed. Then go into the theme store and pick a free thrme down load it and it will show up in theme_infos then you'll see a folder with a bunch of numbers and letters. Just pick one and that will be your theme you will make the changes in . When you change the preview wallpaper it will show like that in the store also of themes you own.

Alright. It worked. Like you said some app will not work but most of em does.
But we now miss matching icons for other apps ? guess i can extract icons from an icon pack and pick from there.
On the other hand, i really like the dark grey and red themed international defaut icons. (Someone who have so time could create an extra alternate edition international icon pack that includes more designs for other apps, hey we can dream, right??)
Thanks for the know how ! Its appreciated.
Almost every icon can be changed, but somehow some of them just wont work. (Calendar, Clock, Pool Break Pro and Textra) All the other ive tested works. (104/108apps)
That looks good.
