Cant seem to find this anywhere,
How do i set Launcher intents for my app that I exported from Tasker?
I need to edit the manifest file if I cant set these intents through Tasker before exporting.
Has anyone tried this? I havnt been able to successfully decompile the exported app, edit the manifest, then repack.
Please help!!!

Is there a suitable icon changer out that works with the Galaxy S phones yet?
I've tried bettercut 3.0 and anyshortcut 0.3 but neither work yet.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to adb pull the apk for an app, redo the icon, save and push it back, but it uninstalls the app and won't reinstall (assuming this is a signing error).

When you first launch the app? Or when you do something else?
Try to reboot?
Try to uninstall/reinstall?

launcherpro gives you the ability to do it natively in the homescreen if you dont mind loosing touchwiz
or there is an app called folderorganizer which worked well for me in the past
I figured it out. Using the app itself didn't work, but if you long press on the home screen and add new shortcut, select bettercut, it works.

i use desktop visuliser to customise icons. it works nicely on the home screen, plus you can choose which size you'd like them to be.

Try NinjaMorph. You can use that to change all the icon's for the apps that are installed on the phone to the /system/app directory. It's pretty easy to change all those icons using that app.
But for any user installed apps that end up installed to /data/app you'll have to do a little more work.. (that is if you want the icons to be changed in the app drawer as well, if you don't then you can just use one of those other apps people have already mentioned)
Basically you'll have to copy the .apk to your computer. Edit the apk with the new icon you want, delete the current signature, resign it, copy it back to your sdcard, uninstall the app, then re-install it with your newly edited akp. Sounds like a lot but it's not to bad if you use the right tools.
7zip works great to open the akps and edit the files inside them. I also found a nice little tool someone had created that lets you just drag and drop apks into it and press a button to resign the package. I'm not at my home computer so I don't remember the name off hand but you should be able to find it from a simple google search.
Hope that helps.
Help!! I was messing with the widgets and when I tried Picture Frame I was asked to set a default action and accidently hit ES FileManager. Now I can't figure out how to change it to something else.
Everything I've read said select Settings->Applications->Manage->Clear Defaults but I don't know what App to clear. I cleared everything I could find that had Defaults and it still won't let me change it.
Once I do get to change it, what do I change it to?
You could uninstall both app, and reinstall. that should do the trick.
The app came with CyanoMod and I tried re-flashing the ROM without success. I suppose I could delete the user data too.
I 'think' if you go to settings - applications - manage applications and find the app your referencing then clear data it should prompt you to choose a default again.
The problem is I can't find the application. That's why I indicated I cleared defaults on every app that showed up that had the button as a choice. I may have missed it somehow. I was hoping someone could tell me which app or that it took something else to do it.
It's a widget, so you can just drag it to the trash can from your home screen to get rid of it. Also, the default you would want to clear is the app you associated it with (your file explorer app). It is looking for a folder where photos are located so it can display them. So you can navigate to the DCIM folder (or wherever your photos are located) with the file explorer program you used. But if you go to manage applications in settings you should be able to clear defaults for that file explorer app and the next time you try to use that widget it will ask you to choose what app you want to use (probably gallery would be the best choice).
Let me know if this works for you!
That was it. I was looking for a photo app not Es explorer.

Hey guys,
I had an idea of how to get rid of that annoying "R" logo from Rockplayer at the topleft corner of the screen. I know you can buy the full application, but I will only buy it from the Android Market and not wire money to some unknown developer's site. And I will not pirate it. Those are simply workarounds
But, my idea was to use Metamorph to change the "R" icon to an empty/invisible PNG. I've been trying this, though, with a few errors.
- If I use Metamorph to do this while the application is stored in /data/app, the signature checking hides the application. Stericson mentioned this will happen with all apps you morph that are in /data/app because Metamorph signs with the dev key.
- If I use Metamorph to do this while the application is in /system/app, I get a Force Close notice when I attempt to open a video file inside the app. However the app itself shows up and launches fine.
I never got Metamorph to work with morphs I tried to make for AudioManager, but I've seen tons of success stories of people making morphs for it. I believe this app could have the same success.
Anyone have any suggestions of how to get this working, then?
Also, people who have made successful AudioManager morphs: How did YOU do that? Could you provide instructions?
have you ever tried apk manager?

while i've never tried to modify the apps you are using specifically, i was able to change notification icons for gmail, the aosp email, and handcent.
my advice would be to treat every app like a system app. that way, you can retain the original signature.
Look for Signapktic by Stericson in mkt. You can do it all on the phone. I wrote a tut a while back it's on here somewhere search theme market apps and signapktic.
Thank you guys for your help

What key do I need to sign it with in Signapktic, and do I need to have the key in my sdcard?
Edit: That was kind of a stupid question, please disregard it
I tried both of your methods, however the app just opens then closes no matter if it's in /system/app or in /data/app...

Hi,
using Market Fixer I inadvertently deleted my stock gallery app which also meant I couldn't use the widget for having pics of my baby daughter on my screens.
Does anyone know how I can get another copy of is there a better app that has similar functionality?
Cheers for any help.
Quickpic is much better! Set it to 32 bit colour.

I already use QuickPic but need to be able have gallery for the widget function and also to be able to change the lockscreen pic (unless I'm being dumb).
I noticed that too, that without the gallery, the option disappear also. Anyway, luckily I've just frozen it instead of deleted.
On the other hand, I think you can go to settings > Display >Screen display and change it from there. It has an option to change the wallpaper and lock screen from there.
Without the gallery installed going via settings only gives access to the wallpaper folders.
Does anyone know where I can get the gallery apk without having to factory reset?
Here you go
- Download it to your phone
- Use ES File Explorer or another file manager with root access**
- Move the APK to /system/app
- Reboot
**Press Settings -> Root Explorer [Enable it] and also enable "Mount File System". Tap and hold the star on the top left (favorites) and navigate to /system/app
i've also accidently deleted the gallery app..(dont know what i'm doing lol)..
but thanks for your guide,i manage to get it back..
lots of thanks!
You sir are a gentleman! That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much.
