Hi There all,
Just wondering if someone could let me know where and which APK file controls the google store update notification icon. I would like to change the boring black and white one with something more colorful.
Thanks
i'm assuming it's in the drawables of the play.apk ...

Ok that makes sense, but where is the play.apk file located? I don't have it listed under /system/app
Try phonesky.apk

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...
To save you doing that, here it is
Nitroz,
I copied the apk and overwrote the existing and its not working. I have an android icon that i think is the contacts app but when i click it it says its not installed. any suggestions or can you tell me where i messed up? thanks!

Yeah this did not work for me, on Android Revolution HD 2.1.4
Worked great on AOKP latest n greatest. Thanks Nitroz!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Did you restart your phone and then try reinstall the apk?
Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

The icon is the people app but grey scale..

I am just looking for an inverted black themed people/contact app, but still keep the original blue icon in the launcher.

I believe this contacts APK only works with 4.0.3 ROMS.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back
Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.

what exactly are you looking for....systemUI icons or app icons in red?
there is HOLO red theme over at rootzwiki, if you want some red app icons, let me know which ones and i may be able to help you out on that.

To get the icons in the app drawer to change you would have to decompile those apps and throw in the themed app then throw it into a flashabe zip....which is not in my wheel house. I can post some themed app icons that you can apply to the home screens with a custom launcher but I cannot do anything to change icons system wide

If you open the apk with an archive manager, you can drop the icon into the appropriate drawable res folder, without recompiling or resigning, and it will be system wide. However, this will most likely break if the app is updated.

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms

asked somebody, who's been a big help to me. told me that if you want to change the phone icon, it not in phone.apk thanks for that! Its actually in the contacts.apk image that...
Is it possible to change the color of the icons in the contact list? The green is killing my b/w theme & I would like to change them to white.
Any input would be appreciated.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is possible
Probably inside framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, or SecPhone.apk

I looked in SecContacts.apk.
Found, inside the drawable-sw359dpi-xhdpi folder, the icon that appears to match the one in the screenshot.
"ic_call.png"
There's a few others with the exact same icon in that folder and I have no idea which one Samsung's call log/contacts pulls from so I'd just change them all. (I hate how many redundant images exist in the Touchwiz Framework.)

OH WHOOPS. Yeah you're right, the images SHOULD be in SecContacts. Didn't notice she was in the contacts tab, which opens the contacts app. You can tell that I use my phone as a phone very often lol
