[HOW-TO]Changing system icons with Froyo

HOW TO CHANGE SYSTEM ICONS ON FROYO
Hi @all! Just want to change system icons,just like in the CM7. So,i noticed that in /system/app Apks there are some *.pro files,but the CM7 ROM has *.png files. So today i'm gonna teach how to do this on Froyo.
First of all,pick an Apk from CM7 ROM and extract it. Navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi/ and you will find some *.png files. Search the one with "ic_launcher" prefix and rename his extension from .png to .pro. Then open with 7-zip an LG stock Apk and navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi. Replace ic_launcher original file file with the renamed one and voila,icon is changed!
You can also change other icons with this method.
Tested on openOptimus.

thanks - was going to do this now I know!

If u r going to change only the icons then winrar or 7zip is enough for u. And if u want to edit xmls then u need apktool or apkmulti tool etc.

Thnx for ur reply but I want to change the animation animation for example "loading"and installing animation etc etc

:good::good:

Well I only want to change the color of "circled" loading bar and" installing" bar
I mean the color of spinner I want to change it to blue.....
You are greattttttt.....

I've been trying to use 7-zip and Winrar for replacing png's but still no luck and at the end I get bootloop when i goin to press power button, why does this happened?

To stay away from Bootlops U must decompile and recompile the framework even if u r goin to chnge only Some PNGs...Use Advanced Apk tool By @BDFreak ..This Tool Doesnot gives any error while recompiling franework ...
And For Editing Installing Bar You Should Edit Some Xmls Also Along With Png files ...
Google -Ics Sliders or Ics Progress Bar...Both are same guides...Follow any1 which u like

Hey I have not edited the mms.apk which u have told.But you just asked for theming so i can help the simple theming guide
Use apktool to decompile these apk files after which you get the folder which contains res,smali etc files
As you are not modding just want to change the theme go to the res folder and open the drawable-hdpi,drawable-ldpi.
Replace the images you want to change with that from s3 and build it ....
Voila you got a themed app ...
Incase you want to edit the UI also like by adding more buttons kind of thing then you might consider doing some stuff around with the layouts and smali code..
In case of smali, learn from this site ..

Gud Luck.
Thanks i think this might help you,
optimus
PS:I think most of the res required for system files are present in framework.

Use the search button...
There are a lot of tuts forit...
But You can Also use APK Manager, its easy but not very good as apjtool...
