How to build apps icon pack:

Things you require:

-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Some icons-Here are my AOSP icons.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any resizing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.

Steps:

1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.

3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.

4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-mdpi or drawable-mdpi. For e.g. in Browser app it's present in mipmap-mdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:

5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.

6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-mdpi in my case:

7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it to 48X48. If you want to resize it by percent then decrese hdpi icon size by 44% and xhdpi by 66.7%.

8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.

9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.


10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:

Important Tip:-Note the size of the original icon and modify the other icon accordingly or else you may not get any icon or smaller icon. For e.g. sometimes the icon present in the app is of size 96X96 though it is mdpi app. But still change the other icon size also to 96X96 to get best result.

And how do I remove the 5 minutes restriction on xda
I am not a spammer
However it's irritating to wait for 5 minutes to just ask for help or help others
N where do I post such questions?
