Thread: Tuto Changing the IGO Icon

Dear Friend Phildu91 in response to your request I will go step by step for everyone to enjoy, I prefer to open a new thread in case there is discussion.

There are several methods to change the icon of an Apk: These icons are localized in folders according to the resolution from the lowest to the highest:

drawable: contains the icon that appear in the status bar: sbicon.png 20x20 and appicon.png 48x48
drawable-ldpi: 320x240 appicon.png 36x36
drawable-mdpi: 480x272 appicon.png 48x48
drawable-hdpi: 800x480 appicon.png 72x72
drawable-xhdpi: 1024x600 and 1280x720 appicon.png 96x96
drawable-xxhdpi: 1920x1080 appicon 144x144
drawable-xxxhdpi: Upper appicon.png 192x192

Do not touch files: notify_panel_notification_icon_bg.png



1/ Open the Apk with the 7-zip software (do not extract it)

In this case Take the icons: rename and resize it (with Microsoft Office Picture Manager ...... or any other image software)

The folders are in the files res (resource) by simple drag and drop the icons are changed by respecting their name and size

This method can be used with any software that can Decompile and Recompile an Apk.

2/ Apk Editor Pro in this case also it is necessary to prepare the icons (Take the icons rename and the resize it) place them on the smartphone.

Open APK Editor Pro ==> Select the Apk from the installed applications ==> Files (at bottom) ==> Open folder res ==> Open folders drawable one by one ==> Check the image ==> Protect the replacement (at bottom) images one by one respecting their name and size ==> Build ==> Install

There is an application: Icon change that I used a lot of time ago with iGO I don’t know if it is current

3/ Apk-icon-editor 2.1.0 very simple software its advantage is that it decompiles the Apk and resize the image then it assembles:

There are surely other more or less simple methods that I described , so if other members can enlighten us thanks to them

I took an example iGO_Basar.png for Test I renamed and redimensioned the icons in their respective folders.
