Hi guys, here is the Sense 5 icon pack I have been working on. You will want to download Sense5_v2 as it is the latest. I will leave older versions for archival purposes.

Installation:
This is NOT flashable. You will have to download the .zip and place it on your SD card. Manually extract the two files from the zip and place them in the appropriate folder. Don't forget to set proper permissions 0644 before you reboot :good:

Note: I have the i605 which is the VZW Samsung Galaxy Note ll, but this should work on most other late Samsungs running 4.1.2 as well. I only bring this up, because I know there are some very slight changes from device to device and some icons may not show on other phones.

I hope you all like it. Enjoy it. But most importantly don't forget to say thanks to our friend @M_J_Nazari and share your icon packs too!

Here ya go. I have only a handful of icons done for now. I plan on getting further into it soon.

My exact questions. Is the iconid generated or just any id we decide to go with? and will this work for 3rd party apps downloaded from google play such as opera mini?

If yes, how would I get the icon id for operamini?

Ok guys, this is pretty simple. When you decompile the .apk file and you look inside, you need to go to res/values/public.xml. Open that up with a text editor. Inside the .xml you see a bunch of code, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <public type="drawable" name="browser" id="0x7f020000" />
</resources>

The iconid is the part at the end of those lines. Using "browser" as an example we see: 0x7f020000 BUT without the first two characters, so: 7f020000.

So when you are creating your CSCAppResource.xml, that is what you would put in your code line for the browser. Like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<cscappresource>
    <item name="com.android.browser" iconid="7f020000" />
</cscappresource>

Does that help?

Pretty certain ICS would be ok. But not Gingerbread or below. Totally different between those two.
