How to build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Some icons-Here are my AOSP icons.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any resizing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.

Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-xhdpi or drawable-xhdpi. For e.g. in Browser app it's present in mipmap-xhdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-xhdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it to 96X96. Please do not resize mdpi or hdpi icons or else they will pixelize and blur.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:

use rootexplorer to copy your twframework.apk to your phne's sd card.then copy it to your pc and open it using winrar or winzip.then replace the corresponding files in the folder "drawable-hdpi" with the provided ones.then copy the twframework.apk back on your sd card and then to system/app using rootexplorer.
rename your twframework.apk to twframework.apk.bak first to have a backup.

How can we αđđ another icon app . Like opmin , xda ,or game etc ? This icon pack is just for system app isn't?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
hi. well this wasn't really clear to me, so i have several questions.. i got samsung with an ICS rom. most system files, that i want to change their icons, have the names preceded with "sec" (i.e. secMMS.apk, secBrowser.apk). i tried to flash an icon zip, to no avail, it didn't work. probably becuase of these difference in names. i also found, in the tmp folder of the icon pack, the Icon.sh file.. it contains the addresses of the files. the contents are like:
#!/tmp/busybox sh
/tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/Browser.apk res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png /sdcard/unpack/Browser.apk/res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png >> /sdcard/test.log 2>&1
should i change the addresses and make it like /tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/secBrowser.apk res/drawable-ld... ?
also. my rom is odexed. so i have secBrowser.apk and secBrowser.odex ... this applies to other system apps.
can i flash the zips normally, or do i have to take into account the odex files?
please enlighten me. thnx.

i just recently tried out the on screen navigation bar because it was a bit frustrating how the capacitive buttons on my acro s would sometimes not respond..OSBs are taking up some screen space though, but i can live with that trade off..now, i was searching on how to change the OSB images from stock Xperia to stock AOSP [as in Nexus4 navbar], and i stumbled upon this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=40319059
the problem was it was only able to change the navbar images in portrait mode but the images in landscape mode stayed in Xperia images..so i went through my systemui.apk and changed it..and then i thought why dont i make a tutorial, just to share..if i posted in the wrong section or if there is an existing thread like this feel free to report the thread..this is what i did:

just download the images here https://www.dropbox.com/s/7j9uhlgd6cgnugf/ics_sysbar.rar and do what the quote says...or to be simpler, just open your systemui.apk with any zip archiver [winrar, winzip, 7zip] and navigate to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder and drag-n-drop the files there..move the systemui.apk back to system/app directory in your device and reboot..thats it..

it should be the same, yes
just copy your systemui.apk to your pc and edit the images then push it back to system, no need for adb pull
sadly no i dont have sample images though you can just search for some in google images..just be sure to rename them to match the filename in your systemui.apk and that they are .png images
