I was wondering if there was a way to change the lockscreen lock icon? If so is there a post already with already made icons?
Check under themes. There is a thread with tons of lock rings
Open framework-res.apk with something like WINRAR, check it out, you will know

How would I go about changing the color of the battery icon, 3g icon and everything else in the notification bar and notification area in a theme I didn't build?
Or change the entire color scheme of a finished theme?

You'll need the framework-res.apk. Open it with winrar or 7zip, navigate to /res, and drag the folder drawable-hdpi to your desktop or wherever. Inside there you'll find a lot of images that you may or may not want to alter. Once altered, go back to that framework-res.apk that you have opened but not altered, delete the matching .png, and simply drag your altered .png into the archive. That's the simplest way to make changes, as decompiling/recompiling a themed framework usually yields issues.
Edit....

Just so you know, the notification icons for messaging and email and stuff are in the apks themselves. If you need any help let me know.
Yeah it took me a little while and then I was like oh wait you can look inside apks with winrar and I found the res folder so im coloring everything right now.... so .... many..... files.... its gonna take a while.... could I take maddoggin's 6 lock screen mod and just drop it in the theme or is there some files I would have to change first to accomplish this

Which icons are you talking about? Launcher, notifications, status bar? There are a few different ones. Is there a specific style you are looking for? What rom are you on and is it rooted?

Hi guys, I wasn't sure where to ask this so sorry if I posted in the wrong section.
I was wondering if it's possible to decompile the systemui or framework-res apks and modify an XML to make the lock screen text semi transparent. I'm on CM9.
If at all possible I will try it when I get home from work tomorrow. Thanks

I have been searching online to try to find an app that will allow icon labels to be changed. ie, I might have two camera icons and both say camera. I might want to change one of those labels.
Does anybody know of an app that will work with 4.1.2 on the Note 2?

Just read through icon changer free and it doesn't let you change the name only the icon in question.

If you are using Nova Launcher you can change or remove labels on the homescreen or maybe you could change the icon to another one so you can tell them apart.If 1 of those does not get used at all by you,you could go to system/app find the one you don't use,re-name it to .bak instead of .apk and reboot.That way it is removed but not deleted.Hope any of those can help.
thanks for the replies. I want to be able to change the icon label in the app drawer as well as the home screen. I don't see a solution here for the app drawer. I am not necessarily interested in changing the actual icon.
Is there a simple way to manually change icons? Not just for homescreen but in the app drawer as well
I don't understand you

Install a 3rd party launcher like Nova. It'll change the icons on your home screen as well as the app drawer. That's after you download and apply icon pack.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en Icon Changer? Idk Ive never used it.
Also I know theres some Icon packages by Black Bear Blanc over in his thread that Themes EVERY icon, no matter what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804627
or look at the icons here on his playstore:

Personally, If I ever feel the need to really change an icon, Ill photoshop it myself and replace it in the res folder of the app and re-install.

Well then there is no easy way to do it. You'll have to do what the guy above me said.

That icon changer app only changes the homescreen icon
So unzip the apps apk with 7zip then replace the icon file in the res folder? I might be able to do that.
I had a Meego Icon pack once that I could just add icons using a template from Nokia. It was packed as an apk so I could just add icons using 7zip and install it.
Do you know where icon pack apks are located? Maybe if I can pull it off the phone then I can add icons to the icon pack
If you're using a launcher like apex or nova you can change the icon and name by holding down the app icon and choosing edit
If that's not what you want then use the icon changer app above
