[TUTORIAL] Change App Icons In Touchwiz

Hey Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like
“ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
TOOLS NEEDED..!!
1.Photoshop(Ps)
2.a flashable zip
3.root explorer on your phone
4.7-zip
STEPS-
1) Get some cool icons from my xperia z icons pack - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287388 and save it to your pc.
Edit: If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons Download it from Here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/k2522edgik21tp1/GS+4+Icons.zip
2) Whichever app icon you want to mod say the "video player",just copy it's apk from /system/app/<apk_name>.apk
and paste it to sdcard.
3) Now transfer this apk to your pc and extract it using 7-zip.
4) Now look for the app icon the file name maybe in drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi under res.."video",or"homescreen_icon" or anything...
5) When you find it just right click on it and click properties under the details tab check it's dimension something like"84X84","42X42","50X48"
6) Alright then you know the app icon dimension now.
7) Now save the image as <app_icon_name>.png on the desktop(make sure the name is proper)
8) Open the apk with 7-zip
9) Now drag and drop this image from the desktop to the folder drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320-hdpi
and click yes when the prompt appears and close 7-zip
10) Open any flashable zip and don't touch anything except the system folder.
11) Open the system folder and keep only the app folder delete other folders in this app folder copy your "video.apk" and delete other apks if present.
12) Now close the flashable zip and send it to your phone ext _sdcard and flash it by mounting system...and you are done!!
Hit thanks if you got it​ !!:good:

how to change icons of installed apps?

Same procedure as mentioned above.
Copy that apk on pc open it with 7 zip and follow the procedure.

Besides drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi folders, icons are located in mipmap-hdpi folder in most apps. And they are mostly named as ic_launcher_appname.png, so change this png to change icon of that app.

theme is perfect but any how how to make in this theme black status bar when i use apps ?? i dont like this green

nice theme.ty. tested clean 01 and found some bugs, but this clean2.0 is just fine. i will post if i find something that i think needs improvement

This theme (clean2) is very nice indeed, I have just a minor remarks.
1. Green notification bar looks just weird, transparent (or black) status (notif) bar would be much better.
2. Stock calendar app is not themed.
3. Sure, it is a matter of taste, but I dont like those icons (and yes, iconset can be changed, I know
4. As was already mentioned, status bar icons do not change. Then it would be even better.

Nice theme, only the status bar green colour is not much pretty (transparent would be better), and please theme the stock calendar.

Thank you but....why green colour? omg

Love it, thanks!

I know you never said that. It helps for people to know so that they can direct their requests for changes or options in the theme to the author of it.

Look at my first post and download themes

If you want to change the status bar color (from the green color to black, for example), you have to do this:
1. download the theme to your PC and change the extension from .hwt to .zip
2. extract the file and find "com.android.systemui". This file is an archive and you can extract it (if you are using Ubuntu. Under Windows, probably you have to add the .zip extension (just rename the file as "com.android.systemui.zip" - without quotes). extract that file and you will find one folder called "res" and one file called theme.xml
3. Edit theme.xml with xml editor (notepad++ or gedit under Ubuntu)
4. find the "system_bar_background_opaque" line and change the ff value from ff2b9193 to ff000000 (it is a code for the black color, you can choose what color you like). save the file
5. make a .zip archive from the "res" folder and edited "theme.xml" called "com.android.systemui". Make sure, the file has not the .zip extension.
6. replace the original "com.android.systemui" with the new "com.android.systemui" in the directory created in step 2. I personally also edited description.xml and changed the name of the theme (to avoid the duplicity of the themes with the same name).
7. from all that files make a .zip archive (for example "P6_3.0.zip"). Finally, rename that file to P6_3.0.hwt (just rename the extension) and copy it to your phone in the HWThemes.
8. apply the theme.
This method has worked for me, now I have a black status bar.

[MOD]G3 Notification bar-panel for Optimus G & lollipop Navbar![Now Flashable]

----------With This mod, you will have:
1. G3 style notification panel,
2. white (Kitkat style) icons in status bar,
3. lollipop style navigation bar!
I've made this mod on myself, but the idea was for antonio.talamo(thank you)
----------Requirements:
1. Optimus G 4.1.2 - 4.4.2 stock Rom (may work on stock based custom roms)
2. Root access & nothing more.
3. MUST work on both odexed & deodexed roms...
Nothing is going to be wrong BUT ALWAYS HAVING A BACKUP(copy of original system ui.apk) is absolutely necessary!
------------Instrutions:
Flash the appropriate flashable zip through recovery or:
1. You must have a file manager for editing LGSystemUI.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download the appropriate zip from attachments, open the customization folder, open res, open drawable-xhdpi & select all those pics & copy(replace) them with the original files in LGSystemUI.apk in the same folder & directory.
3. Replace your new LGSystemUI.apk with the original one in system/app(4.1.2) or system/priv-app(4.4.2)
4. You MUST always restart your phone to get the right result! Force closes before restarting are usual! You've replaced a running app, right? Hold power button 10 secs if force closes are too fast.
-------------------Done! Enjoy!:angel:
It WILL work on jellybean(tested) & kitkat(tested)!
I've tried to fix all the issues that have been reported, so it must be perfect now!
I haven't test the kitkat mod by myself, so If there are any bugs in kitkat, please report it!
Flashable zips are here! But please test them & report the result,they must work!

------------------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open APK as ZIP" & then you can modify APKs easily
-----------Enabling the Navigation Bar(recommended):
First I must say there's an app doing the job perfectly named gravity box!(also it has expanded mode to hide navbar to use default camera app, but I rather using these two methods which WORKS PERFECTLY ON JELLYBEAN(tested), BUT ON KITKAT, MIGHT CAUSE BOOTLOOP!NOT TESTED, while I say it won't cause!do it on your own responsibility!, but the gravity box method works good):
1. If you want to enable navbar in Optimus G or any other devices, Download build.prop editor (android app) & after making backup with the app, insert qemu.hw.mainkeys & set its value 0. RESTART
2. Or you can go with x-plore to system/ (& backup build.prop somewhere), then open it & copy qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to end of the texts.insert an empty line before it so that it works. RESTART
3. for disabling the navbar, simply restore the build.prop backup or delete that line.
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in systemui, so every time you want the original notification, you can restore your original SystemUI.
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of LGSystemUI.apk.
!! remember to have the original LGSystemUI.apk file somewhere safe !!

Some good Tricks:
If you want to hide the Qslide, try geemod, which is an Xposed module & can hide whatever you want in notification panel & some other tweaks.
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfectly!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solved the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I've already been using, is perfect for jellybean, I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
By installing gravity box, you can enable & edit & hide(with shortcut of expanded mode) navbar when you want easily(e.g. when using default camera app or watching movies)!
If you want huge mod for stock apps on jellybean, this is the mod:

Hi! There seems to be a bug in the 4.4.2 version. I'm not able to make the notification panel background transparent, it looks black instead. Can you take a look, please? Thank you so much for this mod!

Thank you for reporting the issue,
I've Tried to fix it, reply the result.

The fix has messed up a bit the UI haha. Now the top bar seems to be lacking some kind of height/margin/padding. But no problem, mate, I can keep testing until we get the desired result [emoji6]

since I'm not on 4.4.2,
First rename one of the files of my 4.4.2 fix to status_bar_carrier_label_bg.9.png & REPLACE it with the same one in "drawable",(not drawable-xhdpi),reboot.
EDIT: I've updated the OP, try that and reply the result

Sorry, I couldn't reply sooner! I'd tried all the previous fixes without any luck (with a clean LGSystemUI.apk, clearing the caches, etc). But now, with the latest upload, it's working like a charm!! Thanks for your hard work, mate [emoji16][emoji16]
PS: The background color is no longer transparent, but doesn't matter, I like it black too!

Can you make status bar color black and no AM/PM for stock 4.4.2?

I'm not changing codes, hiding AM/PM is such a thing
But I guess I'm able to change status bar bg black.Like what I did to make 4.1 status bar transparent.
Copy the attached png to your drawable-xhdpi to make status bar bg black.

Problem must be solved,
That's easy bro,
I'm making a holo green bg for notification panel, so I need this result, I'm waiting...
Edit: I've uploaded the holo green mod & if it doesn't have quicksetting black problem, the transparency should be fine, please attach the ss with enabled Qslides bar, I hope it work

Whoa... Man, you rock! Both themes are looking so nice now. Hoping the screenshots can convince more people to use them [emoji2]
Main mod:
Holo green:
PS: I really love the second one!

I'm happy that worked & you like it
There's one more thing to do. Latest try to make the full transparent mod work,
Please attach the ss with enabled qslide! This is for examination of qsilde bg! Also I want to see the notification bg is now more transparent or not(double try In one mod! I guess it won't work :-/)
