Root App Icon Modifying

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to share how I modded the icons for both my messaging icon and contacts icon.

I have pictures that are posted below.

Code:
adb pull /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb pull /system/app/Mms.apk

Change the file extension to .zip so that you can navigate through the files.
In the Contacts.zip navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi/ic_launcher_contacts.png

replace or edit the "ic_launcher_contacts.png" and replace the edited file with the original file.

Now for the Mms.apk

Change the file extension just like you did above to Mms.zip

Navigate to Mms.zip/res/drawable-mdpi/ic_launcher_smsmms.png

Edit or replace the .png photo with another photo if you desire. But you must give the new photo/image the same name as the original .png file.

In this case for the Mms the new file name will have to be ic_launcher_smsmms.png

**I use Photoshop Cs4 to edit all my images, but you can use other programs to do just that.**

Check out the photos attached! If you need additional help check out the link below or just PM me!
