If you use a file explorer on your phone and navigate to \Windows\Start menu and whatever and go to the folders you want to change the icons in you will see a file called "icon.lnk" simply change where that lnk file points to and you will have a new icon.

there in the framework-res.apk and easy to replace, if you find some emoticons you like i can replace them for you

can u tell the method in PLAIN ENGLISH please?

Same as the guy above..oh and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls give us a step by step guide on how to do this.

1. Extract your framework-res.apk. you will find it in /system/framework/.
2. download and install 7zip, on your pc.. its a free program.
3. on your pc, right click on your extracted framework-res.apk, find the 7zip contex menu, and click on open archive (DONT EXTRACT IT)
4. A box will open, now navigate to the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder, inside there you will find the emoticons, they have names like "emo_im_cool.png" and "emo_im_crying.png". find some suitable replacement emoticons, and rename them to the match the file names in the folder.
5. just drag and drop your new emoticons in the folder, and replace the existing ones.
6. close 7zip. now download the update.zip template i've attached at the bottom, unzip it and copy your modified framework to the framework folder inside the zip, go back to the root of the zip and zip it back up.
7. copy the update.zip to the root of your sd card and flash it from recovery

I found an easier solution, will post it IF succesful

But what if you just want to replace the text instead of the image?

[MOD] Star Wars notification bar.

I have created a collection of Star Wars notification bars for anyone to use.
Instructions
rename the selected light saber file to "statusbar_background.9.png"
You must have the Android SDK Components installed.
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the USB Debugging box
2. Connect your SGS via USB to your computer. Do not mount in Mass Storage Mode!
3. Copy a Command Prompt Window (for Windows 7 go to Start > Search > Type CMD and right click - copy it) in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder so you don't have to type all those "cd" commands and open it. Else type cd android-sdk-windows (or whatever the folder is named) and cd tools to get there
4. Type adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
5. In the \tools folder you'll find the framework-res.apk file extracted from SGS's system. Create a backup first!!! Right click on it, select Open (or Open With) and point to WinRar or an similar archiving program
6. When opened, browse in the archive for the \res\drawable-hdpi folder
7. Drag and drop the files from the .zip attached here in the \drawable-hdpi folder and close the archive
8. Go back to the CMD window and type adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
9. Reboot

How To Use Your Favourite Images As Icons For Quick Setting Toogles

How to use your favourite Images as Icons for Quick setting toogles
Hi everyone..
Today I wanna share a little trick with all of you...
Are you bored of seeing same icons in status bar and notification panel Everyday..
Have you ever think of changing icons according to your wish,,,
Here is the detailed Procedure..
** u must be rooted and deodexed your phone ****
( U can do it on your mobile or in your PC or Laptop )
I'm showing u here how to do it on PC because doing first time in mobile you may get confused
step 1 : download any file manager app that gives access to root folder like "Root Explorer" or "ES file explorer" or "Rot Browser" (all are available on playstore)
step 2: open the app and go to the this location "root-system-app" folder... in "app" folder.. see for systemui.apk
if it is not there see in "priv-app" folder
step 3: now copy that systemui.apk to your PC or laptop (make a new folder and place it there)
step 4 : now keep your mobile aside
step 5 : rename SystemUI.apk as SystemUI.zip (remove. apk and type .zip)
step 6 : extract that and in that you see "res" folder in that "drawble hdpi" folder... in some drawble xhdpi
step7 : you see all icons there.. now replace those icons with the custom icons of your wsh
step 8 : rename it same as the origina file and overwrite it.
step 9 : now select all the folders and zip it and name it as SystemUI.zip and copy it to your phone Extsd card
step 10 : now open root explorer and rename it as SystemUI.apk
step 11 : now copy that paste it to "app " folder or "priv-app" folder (from where you copied first time)
step 12: your phone automatically reboots , if not change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot manually
that's all .. now your grand became something different from others :highfive:
** Remember : your new icon size should be same size as the old one. (resize it using microsoft picture manager)
: icon must be .png format
for icons visit this website : www.softicons.com
