[Q] Theming app icons. - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are all app icons found in the framework-res.apk/drawable hdpi folder? Is there a certain name that all the icons are given because I can't seem to find the app icon in a couple apps... I'm not sure if I'm not looking right or there really not there.

No, they are usually in the apps themselves. For instance email.apk is in the drawable_hdpi as icon.png.

Ohhh.. lol because I seemed to always know how to change the settings icon somehow and I remember changing the phone and contacts icons a while ago but for some reason forgot to check the apps themselves.. or maybe I did search in the app but couldn't find the exact name lol. Well thanks ill see if I have any problems.

Just save it anywhere on SD card. Long press on icon you want to change, hit replace, choose custom icon, then either file explorer or gallery, and choose the icon your looking for.
Nice, thanks for sharing!

App drawer icons...

I was wondering if there's a way to change the app drawer icons without having to download themes. I have icons that I'd prefer to use of my own choosing

You could Meta morph applications. But I'm not entirely sure how. Search around for how to use metamorph. Should be able to then place those icons in a zip and flash and it will morph the applications and replace the icon.

Extract/unzip the apk and in the resources folder it'll probably be in one of the drawable folders.

Messaging themes

I know within the stock Samsung messaging app you can change the text bubbles and the background. My question today is...it's it possible to use custom message bubbles and background?
If so where's would I have to place those files for them to be usable within the app?
Thanks

I do not believe this is possible as of right now. I have not seen any other threads indicating it's possible. I too would like to see this happen though.

How do you remove the bubbles all together? Looks like my kids phone.

Wow do I actually get to contribute something for once?? LoL I'm so used to absorbing all the knowledge here being the noob I am.
Aside from what the others recommended, I haven't seen any easy ways to add custom bubbles but I did recently notice that you can easily change the background to a custom picture.
If you go into your messaging settings and choose to change the background, there's an option to add your own picture whether it be from your gallery or directly from your camera. The one and only downside is that you're limited to one custom background at a time... if you change it, your new choice will overwrite the old. No big, tho.
I remember looking for this option back on ICS but never found it so I'm assuming it was added with the JB update.
(I'm running on rooted stock ROM, btw.)

I did this for my GS2 because I love blue and gray together. I am using an mms.apk from a rom in the dev section right now, but this weekend I'll try to work on theming the stock mms.apk with different colors. I'll upload when/if I get time this weekend.
