[Q] Gmail notification icons?

i have replaced the stat_notify_email.png file in gmail.apk/res/drawable-hdpi with a gingerbread one but i'm still getting the old notification icon coming up on the statusbar and pulldown. any ideas why? its gotta be coming from somewhere else but i looked in both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and no dice. any help is great, thanks!

stat_notify_email.png in side the drawable-hdpi folder with the gmail app its self. thats all i ever done and it works

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yea just let me know. I pulled it from my theme and just changed the notification icon.

your welcome man.

[THEME] Stevekixs Theme

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.

Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.

Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.

Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.

I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

Kitchen is real easy. Im trying to figure out how to mod the widgets and other apks to match the theme.

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Do you or anyone have a list of TW only apps? I have restored a lot of other system apps like Sprint Live Football and Nascar with no problem. That and the tiny freakin icons in the notification bar are the only things keeping me from running it more than a few hours, oh and the lower volume too.

Not really but as for the notifications flash a theme some have larger icons. Also go in the sound and turn the media volume up all the way the system sounds follow the media volume...?... just look for some themes the good ones cost but there's few free ones that are cool I use the crystal cm7 theme by darkdog. Has a lot of cool icons and the themed xda is awesome. Just stay on cm7 you'll get used to it it grows one you trust me...

So there's no way to get the memo app working on CM7? Guess I will have to write down what's on my memos and get one from the market.

I meant how does the reply differentiate, is it lighter gray? Seen a theme where both parties were in black. I want to see differences at a glance.

I grabbed that color note just before that was posted. Not bad. But CM7 hasn't been working out for my phone anyway. Maybe CM9 will be better.

i used to use simple notepad cause it would export to sd as a .txt file.. then i realized i kept losing notes (Hi my name is Pvt.Joker, and I'm a Flashaholic!) so i went for the auto sync'd albeit slower route of using google docs to write my notes.. just a thought..

Black Themed Contact Apk?

Can anyone post a black themed contacts apk?
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App

+1...............

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...

To save you doing that, here it is

Nitroz,
I copied the apk and overwrote the existing and its not working. I have an android icon that i think is the contacts app but when i click it it says its not installed. any suggestions or can you tell me where i messed up? thanks!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Did you restart your phone and then try reinstall the apk?

Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back

Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.

Themed stock mms

Hi folks heres a stock mms apk with some blue in it. Dont change the bubble in settings if you wanna keep this look. Hope you guys enjoy.
To install just copy to system/app with root explorer then reboot.

If any one would like a different color or something else added just ask!

This is great. Can you switch the colors around on the icon? Make blue the main color and gray the colors of the eyes and mouth?

Yep ill get it up sometime tonight.

This looks awesome but could I request somewhat different colors for the reply messages, if it isn't too much to ask for. The blue looks nice but Both the reply and sent colors look very similar from the picture. I'm a visual person and it's easy to differentiate with different colors or shades.
But this is awesome I haven't switched to a different sms/mms app because I like the stock ones features like direct dial. I am also looking forward to an email like this. And having them match in the dock would be awesome.
Thanks for this!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

For some reason the picture was not coming clearly. I can see they are in deed different shades so you can disregard that above.
But I would love to see other colors. How about a white and blue theme maybe.

Hey Mongo, sorry to bug you again. But do you think you could make the blue a little more ICS blueish? More like the one in this screenshot. The color doesn't quite match the phone icon, or the Google voice icon. Thanks dude!

Give me five different colors you guys want and ill change all the bubbles in the app so you can pick and choose which ones you like. Im thinking about doing a chromed outlined one also like I did back in the sgs2 forum a while back.
