Does anyone know how to replace that media scanning white sd card with a blue cog wheel icon?
No takers?
I'm hoping to replace it with attached png? Drew it myself... I wonder if you can make it animated? hmmm... If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks
Metamorph should do the job. Just need to locate where the original png is.
Hi guys, i've tried to edit my framework with other media icon, but when I reload media there is ever the same icon, that one with white sd card with a blue cog wheel icon.
Someone know where is located the ICON?

Not sure what you are talking about mate....its the same icon in my phone for both preparing and scanning...
It's in an app called MediaProvider. It's located in system/app. I've edited it myself for my theme.

Can i use 7zip to open it and replace the png without damage the file?
I replaced it and pushed it back in with an update.zip and works fine.

No, I used winrar to open the apk and replaced the image. Then I made a update.zip put it in there and flashed it with cwm.

i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?
Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png
zz_unlock_lockbg_press.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?
Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.
The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

Thanks.
Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.

It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

thank you for the reply, I have tried the android Simplistic control app and still the same when I try to change its still the same blue circle battery icon that came with the Omega rom, I did notice something strange, when it comes to a certain percentage it would show the custom icon I installed then disappear after that. Any idea what the problem is??

You could always edit the battery icons yourself. Just paste the wanted battery icons into SystemUI.apk where the battery icons are supposed to be and push it into /system/app with the correct permissions and voila you're done.
Doing this quite often when there are themes I want to apply but they don't come in CWM flashable zip for the rom I'm using

Its not only about installing the SF app, you'll have to flash its content as well that is when you make changes on the control app it will reflect.

Just copy the systemui API from your system/app folder to your sdcard and open it using 7zip or similar program on your PC. Locate the icon files within the app, most likely under res/drawable/hdpi or xhdpi and copy the icon you want straight into the apk and overwrite. No need to extract the apk. Note this only works when replacing images. If you want 1% battery, you'll have to edit some xmls as well (dunno which one though).
And just copy the apk back to where you found it and give it the correct permission (644) and reboot.

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:

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.

Superb !! I would always wanted to change my app icons as I own Sony Xperia J and this device icons is totally different from those of xperia m,z etc! But i can't understand your instructions I'm just confused and if any thing goes wrong then it will cause a great problem, can u explain this tutorial in a video ?! showing us how its done?! please I'm a beginner ! :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the system icons (phone, contacts, Play Store) in Deviant Wicked v10 with the system icons from Deviant Domination v1 and if it is possible, how would it be done.
Thanks in Advance.
Its very possible.. You can do it by extracting the icon.png from the res folder within the apks you want the icon from, and then use a launcher like nova to replace the icons in the drawer or desktop using the PNG you extracted.. That is the easy way.
If you wanna use the touchwiz launcher, you have to extract the icon.png from the apk you want the icon from, decompile the apk you want to use, replace the icon.png to the one you want (the one you extracted), compile the apk, and then push it to system/app.. I think there's special things you gotta do to get the phone, contacts and play store to compile and launch correctly though, I never messed with them much
