How to change your Icons on your iPod Touch or iPhone - change app picture

[sorrowiknow]

why is it that when i click on stash there's nothing in it?

[kylebriffa7]

This took me a while to figure it out, but it's a REALLY quick way to find icon names and bundle IDs.

Take a look in /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com­.apple.IconsCache/

Everything you need to theme the icons is in here. Here's an example:

com.appadvice.AppAdvice_defaul­tRole-AppAdvice-Icon@2x.png_Ap­pAdvice-Icon.png_AppAdvice-Ico­niPad.png_Icon-Small-50.png_Ic­on-Small.png-1

package = com.appadvice.AppAdvice

ipad icon = AppAdvice-IconiPad.png

iphone icon = AppAdvice-Icon@2x.png

Hope that helps.

[zopperana]

@ipodtouchelping dude how do u do that thing on ur account that design for ur channel lthat cursive looking pink thing on the top left side beside ur videos?

[andrei91andrej]

hey great it works, but how do u undo because i copied too big of icons?

[anthonyblyth87]

whatever you do, do not copy this kid. DO NOT rename the files bought in the app store that look something like this 06549864-ASFJUB-56186151-ASFAF­SA you will either lose the app and have to reinstall it (losing your settings etc.), or it will be a blank white icon. I renamed 13 of my purchased apps in the file directory before realising and just spent 45 minutes reinstalling them all.....pain in the ass!

[anonymous6111]

[manicmeta1]

[sonic703]

[colexx]

Do you really need to repeat yourself like 10 times? I KNOW TO NAME IT THE SAME.. fucking hell..

[An3ggPlant1]

If you guys seriously put 'Safari.png.png' then kill yourself. You're a waste of human.

[venomzdrum]

heyy, i've tried this many times and it still wont work. i tried re-downloading everything too :S

[SkiLLz0O93]

dude.. thanks for the help.. but since you told us to put the name of the icon as Safari or watever and you said to put (.png) after it, turns out that the reason it didnt work for me was because when i went into the stash folder into themes and into the folder i created the folder had automatically put another (.png) in the name so it was (Safari.png.png) THIS IS IMPORTANT READ IF THIS OCCURS

[rampager60]

@SkiLLz0O93 OMG THANKYOU THANKYOU YOU HELPED ME ALOT

[Cali4thvision]

it didnt work for me

[hellowsaw]

[charlenechan0706]

does it work with the apps that I downloaded from app store? because when I tried to change the whistle phone icon, I can't~I did all those steps,but when I respring, the icon just won't change.

[wearebyu]

yep! Everyone, remember to check my channel! I have an EASIER way to do this OFF of your itouch!=ybsFzIrrZeA- that's the youtube code. just paste it at the end of the youtube url. Hope you guys like it!

[wearebyu]

I made the tut everyone!

[Ch3vyK1ng98]

Is that the camera 1 ? And how did u put a screen saver were ur apps are plz make tutorial thang?

[wearebyu]

Haha this is the old way, now you can just download it straight off of your itouch using the "Safari Download Manager" (found in Cydia), and then renaming the picture "icon.png" and then replacing it within the folder you want.

[inception951]

@wearebyu thanks dude

Thankyou so very much. . .

I've been looking for the right video that can help me for 3 days now. . .

Then i found your video. . .

Thankyou so much. . .

[millhouse313]

fyi: i followed this video EXACTYLY, and the only thing i did different is in my video response.

[thenthemselves]

dude ive done everything and when i resprung the icons werent there. they are png files, they were named exactly as they are on my ipod, my folder was in winterboard, checked it, and resprung and nothing. help please. the only thing i can think of is i installed "open ssh" instead of said auto ssh. that is the only one i could find. others have said this is the same. if this is the problem, can you tell me why i cant find automatic ssh? you know the source for this so i coukld add it? reply plz

[smakzilla]

@thenthemselves same here can't seem to get it on my phone and followed this vid step by step, tried it with or without ".png" at the end of everything and still nothing and i installed automatic ssh. cant figure it out

and i've seen a lot of vids, smh.

[smakzilla]

@smakzilla okay so i double clicked themes and checked it out and the one that i put .png at the end of had it .png.png so i delete that went back into the icons folder took the .png off and it worked so now i'm going to change it all, really easy once you know as is everything

[Ipodtouchhelpman1]

This is the best anyone know how o change the names too?

[Kromesniper]

Thanks so f...... simple

u explain perfectly

[caponesd]

How to change the image of the name as you did it

sorry for my bad english I'm from Germany

[ZER0EVO]

Or, you could get a file manager and delete the PNG file from the Root directory and add another PNG file from google images.....

[MultiRichie10]

How do you get the icons to fit like the rest of the apps? Every time I do it, it's a square.

[TheBlackHawk449]

HELP icant find a call icon please help!

[save12279]

i had a solution with in regarding saving icons if it didn`t exist to your ipod/iphone screen the saving of icon when downloading it as png don`t edit it like for example "Note.png" b`coz it will not show if it is already a png icon Just remain as Note w/no png. had a hard time finding it how coz been trying for almst an hr now i knw.. hop it helps! btw regarding d "Automatic SSH" download on CYDIA does not exist anymore you can try to download the "OPEN SSH" instead. hope it helps!

[TheBlackHawk449]

@save12279 i use this i bot thing its really ez

[hanna456]

@TheBlackHawk449 idk if it depends on your comp. I have Windows Vista. go on google images and search 'iPhone icon png' then on the left there will be somethiing that says "Any Size" look at that part and there will be something that says, "Exactly..." click on it and type 59 (for width) and 60 (for height)

[scottyrulzdaworld]

thank you!!

[CJSparodyproductions]

[coolnirdz]

[PUMAPRIDE45]

@Everyone who is having trouble To everyone that is having trouble,instead of naming the image Safari.png name is just Safari trust me it works PM me for instructions or a video

[rexrobert1000]

[joshuarocks102]

[Sh3rl0ck14]

[JonesSoda15]

Well fuck that. That looks way to complicated

[YankeesNigga]

for alot of people this video yhu made is goin to b confusing.. their is a way easier way to do that shit.. jst jail break your iphone/ipod touch, then make sure yhu have Cydia, and winterboard on your ipod/iphone.. the press Cydia, then sections, then when it finishd loading press search, and search Vista mobile. dowload it and then when it finish almost all of your icon/ badges will have a picture already designd.. and if yhu c the video go to this kid's page.. youtube.com/user/iTechSource
