I just bought and downloaded an icon pack from Tha and it downloads as a zip file. I thought maybe it would install through flashing in recovery but, it ddidn't.
How do i install this flie?
For icons that come in the form of a zip file, you have to extract the zip and apply icons individually....takes a while that's why its better to just get the apk version.

Thanks for your answer.
I actually extracted the file to try installing it. I had no idea about having to do them individually. Until I saw over 1500 downloaded images in my gallery. They didn't appear as visible icons, just blank boxes. So, ya I can imagine how long it would take. Crazy!!

Hi there,
I am searching for a Thread with Dockbar? Taskbaricons like Battery, 3G, etc. because the Stock Icons are only white and ugly.
We can use this Thread where everyone can post his Icons and put a link on it where to become....
THX!
This is the only link you will need http://uot.dakra.lt/
I just whipped up a theme on that website not a complete fail but not flawless either

Most of the zips people have will be created with uot. Physically creating your own by modding framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and then creating a flashable zip is far more time consuming

I'm trying to make my own icons and I cant find some images on Google.
Where can I find them on the phone?
Thanks
Download a ROM and unzip it. All the icons will be in there somewhere

You can find the apps under /system/app
(The two apps I extracted those images from are contacts.app and phone.app).
Copy the apps to your SD card using something like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
Rename the apps to contacts.zip / phone.zip and either use something like Astro to open the zip or just copy the files to your PC.
You'll find the icons under res/drawable or res/drawable-*****

If you're using EStongs you can just extract the apk (no need to rename to zip). Just long press the file and extract...

How to extract Wallpapers out of a ROM
I did this a while ago while trying to help someone out. It was a really good exercise in learning some basics about apks and such.
First off, read through this thread. In my last post, post #7, I show where I found some wallpapers in the Freeza's stock Rom. I would assume that they would be in the same locations for a different Rom.
The procedure in pulling wallpapers out of a rom is outlined in this post.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, my current Rom (Liquidsmooth) didn't come with any "built-in" wallpapers, so I can't show you how to do it through there, but that methodology should work for you.

Isn't it interesting how apks work? I found it quite amazing how simple everything was inside. It makes the idea of modding an app (by changing the various images in the apk) less daunting... Although, I know some apks need to be signed, and that can (sometimes) be an issue. I obviously haven't looked too much into it, but I had a good time searching through the apks when I did that exercise.
There are also wallpapers in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, probably never the current one, but wallpapers that come built in as well. That's how I extracted one from the S4 dump and set it as my wallpaper on my shift (see attached screenie)
@topherk - it's actually really simple to preserve the signature (when modifying an app that's not yours) once you know how to do it. What you do is, let's say you modified the apk by inserting your own modified images. To preserve the signature, you get a copy of the original apk (let's say framework-res.apk) and then open it in an archive viewer like 7Zip, then you compile the apk with your modified images and also open it as an archive next to the original. Then you copy the "res" folder from the modified apk into the "res" folder of the original, and BAM. Modified apk with the manufacturers signature
So when I was making myself a signature file image last night, in honor of my new Recognized Contributor status, I wanted to use the font that xda-developers has in the logo. I was very happy to find that @Ganesh A made up this true type font and shared it with us! Go to his thread, please click Thanks for this nice gift, and download "All Continuum.Zip" to get all three versions of the XDA font in one zip file.
What to do with it to install on your Windows PC:
1. Open the zip. No need to extract.
2. You'll see three files inside: Light, Medium, and Bold.
3. Double click on any one of them, and then click the install button.
4. That's it! This will install that font in your Windows programs. For example, on my system now I have the xda font in Word and Photoshop. Nice! You can also use it in a ROM if you want, or in theming.
5. Do the same to install each of the three (Bold, Medium, Light).
I'm surprised more people haven't found this. Nice work, Ganesh A. (Folks, please click thanks for him. There's over a thousand downloads and at the time of this post, only 18 Likes.)
Running Revolt 7-13. No option to simply install the zip. Had to extract the ttf file and install using rom toolbox. Thanks for the link, very cool font

Hey bud. Oh sure, the "click to install" is on Windows. I'm going to edit the OP to clarify that. :good: I just thought it was an awesome font package... gotta love some xda font. Cheers.

WARNING.. backup your original Lghome3a.apk, by renaming it, and coping it , to the SDcard download folder... Another way.. Is there a way I can make a backup zip of my ROM, and upload it?? ..

You could upload your edited files and all associated apk files.
okay.. Cool, how do I get started?
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
Well, what files did you have to edit/modify? Reading your first post it sounds like you replaced a file within the home.apk itself? Any files that you copied into system/apps DEALING with getting this to work can be zipped and uploaded to drop box or box.com
So make a .zip of your modified launcher and the themes; and upload them.
Also what program did you use to copy the classes file to the original lghome3.apk?

Here is a Zip and in which you will need to unzip. Its NOT a flashable zip you will still need to copy the files over using an Root Explorer app. But extract the zip and copy everything from that folder to system/app
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Mods/
also In the link above is zip with the STOCK LGHome just in case you forget to backup
Besure to reboot and or have an Launcher like nova installed just in case the mod does not work for you so you can easily put the original one back.
This works Great for me

You restart your phone then while on your home screen hit the menu button and select themes to choose a them... Or did you download the STOCK one? There are 2 downloads on that link the stock and the modded one. There is no lghome3, there is only a lghome3a.apk I actidently left the LGhome3 in the folder just ignore that one and only copy over lghome3a.apk

The stock theme is named the exact same thing...so when you posted to use the three .apk's, you should have said all 4 theme .apk's. Just sayin'
