Icon pack creation tutorial with Android Studio ? in c/askandroid@lemdro.id
[โ€“] echdaron@lemdro.id 1 points 9 months ago

That would be phenomenal... but... those are not around? I think?

The things I've found are :

  1. https://github.com/materialos/android-icon-pack?tab=readme-ov-file - this is an 'open source' icon pack but I need to figure out how I can use this as a base to start out... Especially as they also mention that they've been fixing the theming of (eg) VLC > might come in handy to wrap my head around this whole icon customization thing
  2. https://rootjunky.com/creating-first-android-icon-pack/ - outdated and the template isn't available anymore

And from this technical geek who likes other tech things and fancy UI's : I did understand what you mean :-) And thanks, hope that too but I'm in no hurry and glad I've switched - never expected Android to be this phenomenal :-)

Thanks Cris :-) I appreciate you taking the time to reply anyway... (even though you state you're not that familiar with it) But yeah, there are apps on Android that do this (I think it's called Icon Studio 2?) but these don't work on my Oneplus 12 launcher. At least : the apk is generated but the program says that my launcher isn't supported... But besides that : using an app on my phone to create about a hundred icons is... cumbersome. And I would like to prefer to do this somewhat faster on my Windows machine and learn something new while doing it :-) It's also easier (I think) to update it for future installations of new apps...

And that live wallpaers and widgets : that's something for later on :-) I am rather happy with the default launcher currently (have tried Nova and read up on the drama behind it so I'm currently avoiding it - also because I don't like it as much currently) and I'm a simple man : changing my icons to something I like and I'm also a happy man :-)

Icon pack creation tutorial with Android Studio ? (lemdro.id)
 

Hi there,

Only 2 weeks ago, I was on a jailbroken iOS device and got fed up with it (and everything that Apple produces - mostly because it's closed down and some proprietary crap like iTunes). And the reason I jailbroke my phone, was mostly for the theming options (place a .png with a specific app name in the folder, select it and that's it)...

Switched to a Oneplus12 last week, loving it, so easy to tweak things out of the box and installed some free icon packs but I can't seem to figure out how to proceed in creating my own icon pack (for personal use). Had a look inside an apk and I have now a basic understanding of the resources inside but swapping out files in an apk isn't the way to go (CRC check done by Android?). Had a look around and installed Android Studio but are there any up-to-date tutorials out there?

thanks! /d
