Okay, this may or may not be in the correct forum, but it's a question. I think the icons are horribly ugly, especially the camera. I know it's not quite rooted yet and it's not super high up on everyone's list, but would anyone be able to help me out with getting better looking stock Android 2.1 icons on there or maybe make an icon pack that replaces the ones on there with 2.1 stock icons? Thanks in advance.

BetterCut?
I tried Better Cut with mine and the stock 2.0 icon pack. The icons are low res and look kind of bad on the large Evo screen.
With the size of the Evo screen you will really want to get More Icons. Trust me on this, it is perfect for this phone.
I've never heard of BetterCut, but it seems like it won't work. My girlfriend has a Nexus and those icons are very classy and would work very well with the Evo, I think. And I just want to replace them completely, not have extra.

I found some nice BBerry Icons but they show up too small on the G1 normally and when I attempt to enlarge, I run into pixel issues.
Can anyone enlarge these icons to look normal on G1?
Blackberry extracted graphics
Nice graphics! I didn't know you could extract stuff from the Blackberry OS... interesting
Are you trying to make a theme out of this? Or changing an icon? It probably doesn't look right because of the image format... I'm not sure.
Maybe you should send this to a theme developer. The only problem is that some of these Blackberry images are too big for Android (like the signal strength, the menu icons, etc).
If I enlarge these images, they will look blurred. It would be great to get the original graphics in vector format so I can scale them perfectly.
It seems like the Blackberry UI graphics were made for readability and looks, especially since the BBs are getting popular.
It would be cool to see a perfectly crafted theme that changes every UI element of Android, but still looks elegant and balanced all around, like the Android 1.5 UI.
This is a pretty good set of images. I'll see what I can do.
P.S. Whoa! How did 2 of your G1s get bricked? Was it Haykuro's Dangerous SPL?
Sweet icons dude....someone shud totally make a blackberry theme

Yeah, the SPL got me (because of my own error though). I'm actually on my 5th, the last one wouldn't let me flash a 1.5 or higher ROM. Lol.
But when I replaced the icons, they were extremely small compared to the android icons. I used the icons from the old deep black theme from RC33 I believe and wanted to make all my icons BBerry ones.
It would be great to have a BBerry theme though, I was just gonna use a Custom Hero theme with BBerry Icons (actually looks pretty hot).
Thanks for the interest though, hopefully someone can make something happen with these.
someone should make a theme with these icons!
I will turn this into a theme for openhome these are great icons and sorry to hear about the bricked G1's

Sounds great. I will be waiting for those. When you make the open home theme, can you upload it here so we can pull the resized icons?
And for the G1's, T-Mobile customer service is great (and my Frat brother works for them) so it's all good. Lol.
what's the size of these icons? did they come from plazmic?

Which ones are you trying to enlarge? From the looks of it, you need to be
making them smaller
Most of these are 80x80? this should be no prob and yes I will upload for all of XDA to enjoy You wan't 48x48 right?
I usually use 64x64 but the default is 48x48.
And if you actually try to use the icons, they show up smaller than the standard sized icons... I know the pics say the icons are larger, maybe they get shrunk too far with resizing.

I have been building custom BB themes for a long time, and have more icons in all sizes than you can possibly imagine if you are interested. I also have a good deal of experience re-sizing them- chris aka riffman [email protected]
One thing i hate about the Sense look is the application bar (the thing at the bottom of the screen with buttons. haha dont know the correct name)
I am currently running Sense 2.2 so i was wondering would it be possible to edit the HTC Rosie.apk so it looks like the Android or maybe LauncherPro bar?
Reason i ask is if i use launcherpro, i can no longer use the sense widgets... so my thinking was, edit this to make it look better.
Any help would be appreciated, ive started looking at this myself (decompiled the rosie.apk) but im not exactly a pro programmer
I 'm actually interested in this too.
Anyone?
Hey! Just flashed back to SkyRaider after giving the Desire Z ROM a go, and one little thing I really liked about it was the icon for 3G and 1X in the notification bar. Any way to put that into a standard Sense rom? Thanks!
The icons should be in framework-res.apk like they are in everything else.
I'll take a look and see what i can do.
EDIT: These particular icons are hiding in com.htc.resources.apk
This is my first MetaMorph theme, but it looks like it should work. Use at your own risk though. If anyone more experienced would like to tell me if this is right or not, I'd appreciate it.
anyone have a screenshot of what they look like
They're actually the stock Android icons. I don't know why, but HTC decided to stop using their custom ones.

Haha so they are! Can't believe I didn't notice that before.
I was wondering if anyone could take the slick smoked glass background from the apk I posted and modify the newest version of smooth calender widget with it. The new version has a much nicer calender icon (Attached Below). The old version on the apk has an icon that looks kind of tacky. I've looked but I cannot seem to figure out how to modify this particular app.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can give a hand.
Wow, with all the amazing themers on this site nobody can give me any pointers or help me mod one simple app?
Maybe wait a bit more than 4 hours before you get discouraged.

4hrs? I think you missread the post times, This was posted a day ago. There have been over 50 views already. I'm not trying to be rude, nor am I expecting somebody to have to do it for me. I merely asked if someone with more expertise than me could either mod it or at least help me to do it. With over 50 views you would think someone would have said it can't be done or at least pointed me in the right direction.
I'm not sure if the newest version has added functionality etc. that you would also want, but if alll you want to do is change the icon you should be able to use APK Edit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890876) to update the older version with the newer icon. Hope this helps

smooth calender is a widget, I know how to change icons, this widget does not have a drawable-hdpi folder like most of the others. I'm looking to change the background of the most recent smooth calender widget from the matted black to the smooth smoked glass that is in the apk I provided in the OP, I just don't know how to do it on this particular app.
If that is not possible, I would like the icon I provided to replace the on that is in my provided apk, only problem is I don't think that would work because smooth calender changes the date each day on the icon.
Is there anyone that can at least give me some pointers?

Sense 4 is alright as it is. However, I'd like to figure out a way to skin the current dock bar. Does anyone have a n00b guide out there?
I don't want to replace the Sense Launcher with Nova or Apex, since that'll basically disabled Sense widgets which is not a big deal but since a lot of other elements will remained skinned (in Sense) it would look worse to combine Sense with the AOSP-look
So in short, I want to be able to skin the current dock bar oh and also, does anyone know to replace the icons quick and easy? or are we looking at decompiling the framework-res.apk files and hack away?
Thanks!
