My question is the following, I took the QuickPanel.apk from from WickedV3. Installed it on XquizitV49. It said install unsuccesfull. when I reboot it is in my app drawer and I can open it up but dd not change any thing in the panel. So the question is how do I make this thing work ?
One or more system apps need to be modded. I think its just SystemUI.apk but not 100% sure. Youd have to try to replace the modded apps as well. But keep in mind there may be other mods in the apk and if you replace it to get qps you may break other mods.
Quick panel is just the app to control the mod btw.

I was wondering if there was a way, and how to, edit the default app icons, so when opening up the app list or placing one on the home screen, the icon is one other than the original?
Thanks
You would have to change the icon in each apk file.

What rom are you using? Because cm6.1 and 7 nightlies you can pick any picture you want on your desktop only. I think there are some launchers that will let you pick also.

redemptive, but i have launchepro, so I know I can use the feature on that. But what I mean is: I have really nice icons i found, and I use SiMi folder widget. I can't edit the icons in the widget, those are the default ones in the apk. However, i tried editing the apk itself, but it disappeared when i rebooted, which seems to happen a lot.
Did you sign the apk after you got done editing it? Any third party apks will need to be resigned, any stock apks do not.

Last time i tried this using apk manager, it still wouldnt work, but i can give it another shot.
I get to signing it, but from there i try to install and it says "application not installed"
Do I need to uninstall the original apk first or something?

If you use adw or lp, you can do that by long pressing the icon and selecting a custom one. If not, you'll have to theme them

FINALLY I figured out apk manager for image editing!!!
Now my apps dont disappear on reboot and my widgetlocker is sexy again!
Thanks guys
How did you do it? Does it have to be signed?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Download apk manager from the forums...then when you use it on the apk, just extract it, don't decompile it, then drop in your image and zip it as a regular apk, don't recompile, and then sign it...that's it

How do I change the Icons of all the apps and not just on the screens/desktop? Or can anyone please tell how to use LP Plus to change all the icons?
Thanks
Not sure about LP plus,but with ADW EX whenever you long press an app it gives you the option to edit the app icon. You can rename it change the icon pic & a bunch of other neat stuff. I highly recommend it.

First u need to decompile the apk then locate the image and replace with another image. Compile ur app sign it and thats it. I still haven't learned the signing part but have been having a blast with ninja morph. Highly recommended.

I flashed a nice theme but heat the heartbeat animation in the dropdown, makes my phone lag. Any way I can remove it with maybe an app like root explorer or ninjamorph? I just want that animation gone, thnx.

All that mod is, is a SystemUi.apk just move the original one to your sdcard and move to system app or where ever the apk is located in the Rom. Or just reflash the Rom.
If you reflash rom, you'll lose the rest of the theme that you like.
Best to just put both rom and theme zips on a PC, and use 7zip to put the systemUI apk from the rom into the theme zip. (Overwrite the one in theme zip)
However, you may lose themed icons in notification bar. So, to use a scalpel rather than a chainsaw, (and this may not work cuz I don't know how the heartbeat effect was implemented) use 7zip to open (not extract) theme zip. Find systemUI apk, open it, find images you don't like (prob in Res/drawableHDPI), and delete them.
Back out of archive, re-save, and reflash theme. Hope this helps at all.

A bunch jaja cause I have 4 Evos home till next weekend all with different themes, mine with Red Venom on Shooter v2.2, but one has a theme I dnt know which one and is on synergy and has the animation on the pulldown, but I ran the v6 script and it seems to have removed the overall lag on that phone and the pulldown doesnt lag either, so I'm pretty much good right now

you might wanna check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen.
upload the theme you have and just edit "Status Bar" -> "Background". download and flash.
Can someone help me or point me in the right direction for editing a theme? I want the Cobalt theme to have transparent status bar, transparent system backgrounds(dialer, settings...etc) just like the HoloGlass Beta but with all the nice stuff from Cobalt(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt) (HoloGlass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mix3d.theme.hologlass.beta)
I'm still trying to figure this out, I've decompiled both themes, copied like 50 images from cobalt(signal, wifi...etc) to hologlass overwriting the originals, edited preview and changed the default wallpaper then recompiled, signed it, installed but the only thing that I can tell is different is the default wallpaper, everything else is the same, the preview didn't even work, just shows a red X....I don't understand.
If it's a system app you don't want to sign it. You need to preserve the original signatures if I remember correctly. Utilities like apk multi tool can do this for you when it's time to recompile. Could that be the problem?

I didn't know a theme was a system app?
Well I was wrong, It mostly worked, most things changed except WiFi and signal bars(Which was one of the main features I wanted from cobalt) Maybe it would be easier just to take the transparent stuff from holo glass and put it into cobalt? Idk but I still need help with this...

It depends on what you're theming. I'm just guessing but the status bar is probably in the SystemUI.apk or SecLauncher2.apk. so to theme it would require modding the correct system app.

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.
