Is it possible to change the color of the icons in the contact list? The green is killing my b/w theme & I would like to change them to white.
Any input would be appreciated.

Yes, it is possible
Probably inside framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, or SecPhone.apk

I looked in SecContacts.apk.
Found, inside the drawable-sw359dpi-xhdpi folder, the icon that appears to match the one in the screenshot.
"ic_call.png"
There's a few others with the exact same icon in that folder and I have no idea which one Samsung's call log/contacts pulls from so I'd just change them all. (I hate how many redundant images exist in the Touchwiz Framework.)

OH WHOOPS. Yeah you're right, the images SHOULD be in SecContacts. Didn't notice she was in the contacts tab, which opens the contacts app. You can tell that I use my phone as a phone very often lol

Would take some nifty XML edits to redirect the background to a png in drawable. Could be done though And glad you like the one I posted. And moved to Q&A

From what I seen that background is controlled by xml. Would take some work getting it to display an image

So could one of you write a tutorial on exactly what needs to be done to the xml files?

Neither one of us have managed to get this thing compiled. We had to actually contact someone else to decompile it

I have been using 7zip to replace icons for my docked apps. The only one that has eluded me so far is the phone icon. I found the stock green phone icon in res\drawable and replaced it but it did not change on the app or dock. Usually the icon for others was in res\drawable-hdpi. Soooo my question is where the heck is the one I need to change. Thanks.
I believe its in dialertabactivity.apk
Thats where it takes the icon from

Now, any idea where that default apps icon is stored? The white 16 square rectangle that Zeam, launcher and LP use? Is it in Framework-res? I can't find it in Zeam so think it is in the system somewhere. Thanks.

What launcher are you using? It is in the laucher. I use adwex, one of its features is the ability to change the icons....I change them all the time.

Zeam. It's not in the drawable-hdpi where I found all my other icons for apps.
The way I do it sometimes it just open the apk with 7zip, the take the res folder and drag it to the desktop, or whatever, open it in windows, and change the view to large icons, then you can look at all the images in the apk and find what you want.

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, but Zeam has so many drawables... I guess I have no choice but to look at them all. Really though the apps icon was a system default a lot of launchers used.
Got it! Had a wierd name action_apps_grid or something like that. Thanks for the help. I have made my phone my own now...
im looking to change the default icons of phone, contacts, messaging, internet, and camera. but im having a hell of time locating the icons i need to change to make them appear. if some1 could give me the names and locations to make it easier that would be great. i dont know if its rom specific or not but JK-3.5

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms

asked somebody, who's been a big help to me. told me that if you want to change the phone icon, it not in phone.apk thanks for that! Its actually in the contacts.apk image that...
To clear the title up some. This is located at the bottom of the notification bar once its pulled down. It is also located at the top of the lock screen. I know its in the system, I just don't know where it is located in the system. I'm pretty sure this can be changed. Custom ROMs I have flashed in the past have had something different there. I just want to know exactly where in the system this file is located

I found the images in drawable xhdpi for the bar T-Mobile shows up on in the pulldown so I'm assuming there's an XML file that says to show which carrier you're connected to there. Look in... see pix below.
Because I have no clue and until someone who knows shows up I'd suggest pulling the systemui apk and using a computer to dig around.

Yes, extract the apk and find the images, rename the new ones accordingly, then drag and drop them back into the right folder in the apk, done. Nothings easy until you learn how.

@XperienceD
Don't think that's easy... I also tried looking for these same icons before to no avail. AFAIK it's hidden deeply into androids system files since before 4.3 it's still black and white while when I updated to 4.4 it became colored icons. So far I have searched textinput-tng.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk. SemcGenericUXPres.apk to no avail.

Still a no The smileys in gtalk is different than the one on Xperia Keyboard. Try using the emojis in hangouts chat and see the difference I would assume it's stored in a .so library file encoded into a byte array or something else.

Not sure why you would assume that when the majority of images are stored in the res folders. I've decompiled the Hangouts.apk to have a look and found them in the drawable-nodpi folder.

Yeah I know there are emoji icons in hangouts apk but trust me it's not what Sony uses. Even if you try changing the icons there it won't work other than the smiley option in the hangouts app. But the sony ones will still persist on any text input field on your android device. In fact you can totally delete the Hangouts apk and still have the emojis untouched
Here's a screenshot just look at the difference on the icons. The on on the pop up is from the hangouts emoji and when i pressed on them the result is different on the textbox
God knows then, but I'd bet they're not hidden and the wrong images are being changed.
