[Q] How do I change App Icons in Sense UI ?

I have a de-odexed rom (MoDaCo R8 RC1 at present) but wanted to make it a little more my own. Can someone please explain how to adjust application icons? I have already replaced a load of png's in the framework for notification icons but not sure if apps work the same way.
Many thanks in advance

I was searching for this as well. Seems there are several solutions, some of depending on the Launcher app you use.
Most generic solution (and most uncomfortable) I found here: http://www.anddev.org/how_do_i_change_the_application_icon-t5975.html

Thanks beegee that's exactly what I needed, confirmation that it is what I've done already, just with a different png file.

[Q] custom skins??

I dont know if this is possible to make custom skins that we could choose with the skin chooser? Im thinking no but its worth a shot to ask right

Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

The ones from the above thread?
They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.

You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root

I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

The frameworks don't change the colour of the statusbar background, just the icon colours and what they look like.

Is there anything special about the Desire HD Mod?
Are the icons different to ours?
Also - rEVOlution looks sssooooooooo good.

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

[Help] Deleted task bar sys apk

Yup, did it after reflash.
I've deleted via titanium whatever gives us the top taskbar, doh.
Not sure if it's status switch but it was around there when I was deleting.
Could anyone do me a big favour & save me the pain of flashing again by upping the right apk.
Thanks all.

So you think you deleted the systemUI.apk? What phone model do you have and what firmware are you using?

UK model, flashed UK firmware, updated to 2.3.4

Wasn't status switch, possibly status bar ??

If u have no status bar you deleted the systemui. apk

All the files in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249 are dead.

I would send it but I have a ics modded theme sorry I will upload stock 1 tomorrow in around 11hours

How to change the status bar icons?

Hello guys.

I want to change the color and maybe the style of my status bar icons.i read about different methods.
I don't really want to use a different rom,with go launcher ex i've got everything perfect except the status bar icons.
I read that the icons arw saved in framework-res.apk. but i can't find any sets of these file to change it out.
I have a stock rooted s2 with android 2.3.6
Thanks for your help

Go to you SystemUi.apk (in system/app folder), copy it to your PC.
Open it with rar or with zip7.
You will get acess to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Unrar or unzip this folder to your desktop. In it are all the icons that you wanna change... change them as you like... Put the folder back on the apk using the same rar or zip7.
Now - finally - you will have to resign the apk again (search how, 1st time it´s hard to get it right).
Push it back to the phone, backup the original as systemui.bak, and write this one over it.
Install it, reboot.... enjoy
Thanks me 10x if I helped .

Edit:
I meant to ask if you tried UOT kitchen??
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Its easy to use but if you get stuck just ask.

Even simpler, use the theme kitchen.
http://uot.dakra.lt/
You can even use it for odexed (stock) roms.

Thank you guys.
I will try the online tool.
I would like to press the thanks button but can't find the thanks button in the app and even in browser

There is an app called ninja morph which can decompile the systemuto your sd card for you to play with, it also can recompile it, backup and then overwrite the original

Thank you anyway dude

There is actually an app called NinjaMorph that you can get from the play store, its what I used for my S2 to changed some icons and you can do it all on your phone, the app will unzip then zip the apk automatically, all you have to do is pick the PNG your replacing the old one with, make sure you got the new PNG in your phones SD card that's all.

Transparent statusbar HELP

I'm going crazy, I'm crazy for putting my STATUSBAR transparent (100% or 75%) and do not see how. I have but I will not put him ROOT any ROM.
I tried to modify and apk with apk manager and nadaaaaa tools.
Can anyone help?, Someone I could pass the file already modified systemUI.apk?.
Ayudaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Thanks in advance.
By the way I tried xda mods and all I've gotten is that it will delete the statusbar (then returned to the original meter and returned to his being).
