[HELP] Installing Icon Packs - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General

Whenever I install an icon pack it always don´t change some icons like Contatcs and Messages and other icons. Why? I have a Deodexed Stock ROM and every icon pack has the same issue it only change some icons and the rest change only in the recent apps. Any way to fix this? Because I want to install a icon pack properly. Thanks.

anyone?

You can always manually change the icons using a root explorer.

How? Extracting then replacing the icons? The question is that I changed the icons they are there but no changes, only in recent apps.
???

there are many techniques to install icons
1. If you want to install icons then download the icon pack by abhirockz and replace the icons in it with the ones you want
2. There is a software named as "apk edit" which allows you to change the name and icon of the desired apk.
Any more probs? PM me

Cm7 transparent and semi transparent statusbar for galaxy gio

I will share galaxy Gio SystemUI with transparent and semi transparent statusbar, without any patch , just rename the file to be SystemUI.apk, push to system/app, and you can use root eksplorer set permissions to rw-r-r and root-root for owner and than reboot.
If you like my work, hit thanks buttons
NB: - In ADW, go to ADW settings and uncheck wallpaper hack
- It's not appear in theme that use backgraund Statusbar
- I has changes in SystemUI, you can check out
Is the clock in the center? Or just on the right where it belongs. .
[edit]
Clock is centered, but so is the date. So it looks fine.
But it's not transparent. Same problem I had with all the other files. It must be the theme I am using (ice10ni1c.apk). In other themes it is transparent.
Too bad. I love ICS theme, but would love to have a transparent bar.

Default tramsparent NOT TESTED but you can try and add screenshot clock in right side

No I didn't forgot about that. Wich I share is original CM7 Gio SystemUI with transparent statusbar, so then it's up to app, launcher and theme that has been apply, or would want to remain transparent in the cover by wich the apply. Correct me if I'm wrong

I've downloaded and replaced the SystemUI.apk from Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 ROM with the Cm7 semi transparent statusbar for galaxy gio
the problem is that the notification bar disappeared completely from the phone's screen.
i have the original kit of the Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 ROM on my sd card and i extracted the SystemUI.apk file and replaced the semitransparent one that i have previously copied to system/app . i have rebooted the phone, but no luck, the notification bar is still missing.
any suggestions and ideas are welcomed
good job buddy...

I was suggested to use the original CM7 rom first
Love the semi-transparent version. However I prefer the digital clock to be completely white, that makes it easier to look

You need to set the file's permissions as suggested by author then reboot
Would this work on the CM9 ?
No.

Then that requires editing of the launcher apk which can be found in /system/app/ its called touchwiz30launcher.apk
Give me the specific icon pack you'd like to use, and I can recompile it with the new icons and upload a flashable version for you.
(Assuming youre using a rooted rom and running the default tw launcher.)

Thanks, but i think that i dont say correctly (my english is no t perfect sorry) i would like for example, change de browser, for chrome, i want to move that icons (Phone, Messages, Browser). sorry for not be clear :/ i still need to practice my english
So you want the browser icon to be a chrome icon? Yes. Just tell him what icons you want. What color, what "pack". Do you want stock Jelly Bean Icons?

no the icon, i mean rearrange (i think thats the word ) instead of having stock browser there, put the chrome (no icon, i mean launch chrome instead of stock browser for example)
Long press on the icon and drag it. If I'm understanding you correctly.
Edit: I forgot that it was different in twlauncher.
1. Open app drawer
2. Menu -> edit
3. Drag chrome over top of the web icon, it should replace.
4. Hit back until you get to the home screen. (Home will undo your changes).

I've been looking to do this myself, but I'm a bit freaked out to try doing so. Would you be willing to offer me the same thing?
I'm running Hyperdrive RLS6 on a Galaxy S4. I paid and downloaded the "Future Blue" icon pack and have been changing one icon at a time with the free Icon Changer, but it's a huge pain and extremely time consuming.
Go Apex!

Can you show us some tips, for example, how to replace the stocked folder icon with another one? I'm eager for the tutorial ! Many THX.

Change app icons

Hey guys!
I am trying to figure our how I can replace the existent app icon in insertcoin 15.0.1 with ones I downloaded as a zip file. So I got jpegs with new icons I want to use. The icons should completely replace the old ones, not only make a new shortcut with i.e. desktop visualizer. Sorry for making a new thread for that. Don't know where to post it else.
Greetings,

I think that this thread is more suitable for the Q & A section. And I have no idea how to replace icons other than installing some launcher that supports that option.

in order to change icons, you would have to swap the icons out in the apk that contains the icon you want to change(make sure you make the new icon the same size as the old one) then you will also have to change the icons for the app in also the in system/apps(systemui.apk) , in system/framework (com.htcresourses.apk) and (framework-res.apk) hope the helps
Try this app

[Q] Is it possible to change icons without a launcher?

I'm trying to change the icons for apps on my home screen.
I am using the touchwiz and is there any way i can change it without the use of launchers?
There is probably an easier way but if you root you can replace the res/drawable-mdpi/icon.png in each app to whatever you want
I use Icon Changer from the Play Store. Works well and you can use icon packs or "decorate" (as it says in the app) the stock icons. Hope this helps.

Manually icons?

Is there a simple way to manually change icons? Not just for homescreen but in the app drawer as well
I don't understand you

Install a 3rd party launcher like Nova. It'll change the icons on your home screen as well as the app drawer. That's after you download and apply icon pack.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en Icon Changer? Idk Ive never used it.
Also I know theres some Icon packages by Black Bear Blanc over in his thread that Themes EVERY icon, no matter what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804627
or look at the icons here on his playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Black+Bear+Blanc
Personally, If I ever feel the need to really change an icon, Ill photoshop it myself and replace it in the res folder of the app and re-install.

Well then there is no easy way to do it. You'll have to do what the guy above me said.

That icon changer app only changes the homescreen icon
So unzip the apps apk with 7zip then replace the icon file in the res folder? I might be able to do that.
I had a Meego Icon pack once that I could just add icons using a template from Nokia. It was packed as an apk so I could just add icons using 7zip and install it.
Do you know where icon pack apks are located? Maybe if I can pull it off the phone then I can add icons to the icon pack
If you're using a launcher like apex or nova you can change the icon and name by holding down the app icon and choosing edit
If that's not what you want then use the icon changer app above
