Are you talking about the icons in the contacts itself or the ones on the home screen? Sorry if that is a stupid question just trying to understand so i can help

The icons itself of that silhoutte of a person. I want to switch it out with the ics or jelly bean icon

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

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.

This is what I did, Use desktop visualizer! But it doesn't change the icon , just on the homescreen(dock)

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.

[Q] is there anyway to change lockscreen?

I see on pac man rom the weather theme is actually a picture and the weather on liquidsmooth and cm10 is a drawing...it's there anyway to change that since they are both asop?I don't want a third party lockscreen..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You could get a apk manager and extract both framework-res.apk's (or systemui, I forget) and swap the two weather images. Then zip them up again. If you need more info just post again.

I've actually changed framework by pushing files into the apk from winrar...like top bar icons...then overwriting the file on my phone with root explorer and reboot...would that work with this? And what files do I need to change....?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I just opened the pac framework and there are 2 weather files....weather_00-47.png
And weather_aokp_00-47.png
The 1st one looks like the drawing and the 2nd one looks like the one I want...
So I should rename the 2nd ones to the names of the 1st ones and then push them into the framework and then send the file to my phone right?

ok it worked!!!!! for all those who want the aokp lockscreen weather images on liquidsmooth here is the edited framework
THIS IS FOR LIQUIDSMOOTH RC9 ONLY
i dont know what it would do to the others

Here is a pic...see the weather is not a drawing anymore...

I think I'll download some of the other roms and make it for that...I'm using the framework from rc9 liquidsmooth so it might go into a bootloop on another rom...

Don't know if you're using gmail or just email but this link shows how to change email to black
If Gmail, there are some nice Inverted 4.2.1 gmail apks out there... I've used Rujelus22 and DarkHorse Inverted gapps and themed apps... work perfect on Note2. Google search "Rujelus22 inverted gmail" or DarkHorse gmail 4.2.1.... then extract the gmail.apk, fix permissions, push to /system/app folder. Be sure to rename old apks in /data/app and or in /system/app folders prior to push (so you can revert bsck if you want to)

Using Root Explorer or something simlar navigate to:
System/Csc/features.xml
Open the file to edit. Scroll near the bottom to the EMAIL section and change the TRUE to FALSE
That should give you the overview. Backup the features xml to be safe.

They are images in framework-res. What you'll want to do is pull the images from framework-res/res/drawable_xhdpi. They're called keyguard_ lockscreen_time. Recolor the images then use something like xplore file explorer from play store to put the images back in framework-res
