Finding files to make icon

**sephiroth726** · 02-16-2011, 08:27 PM

I've noticed a lot of app seem to be hidden deep in the iPhone... I am trying to find iTrophies in my phone because I created an icon for it but I do not know where to find it in iPhone browser/ifile so that I can name the icon... Anyone know where these are?

If your making a theme for a non-HD iPhone/Ipod touch, just name it iTrophies.png
If this is for a HD iPhone/iPod touch, go into Info.plist of the app (found it /Applications if it's a jailbreak app or found in /var/mobile/applications if it's an app store app) and find what the icon name it accepts is. Give this name to a folder and place the Icon named [email protected] inside of it
Hope I helped

I've tried everything... I can't figure it out... I don't know what to name the folder to put the icon in or where to find it...

that software version bundle ID is that what I need?

you would need to put it in the bundles folder. Make sure to check the spelling and capitalization ... everything is case sensitive. Also try playing with the icon name if it's not working. Given that you are using 4.1 if the app has icon@2x~iphone.png and all you are putting in the new folder you are creating is [email protected] then they icon@2x~iphone.png will still override your [email protected] ... does that make sense?

Not really but I can try it...

here's something I am wondering see how there's a glare on the ps3, if I add an image and put it at the same angle the ps3 is tilting, how do I make that glare go over that image at the same angle in Photoshop so that it looks like it's a part of the ps3? I am very new at Photoshop and am learning as much as I can...

so you are trying to place an image on top of the ps3 but behind the glare? what images do you have to work with ... do you have the ps3 image by itself without the glare?

Do you mean i save one of each in that folder? I can't get it to work at all... Would it have anything to do with the autocreat appstore icons in EPHD?

hrm blarg... what is the app you are trying to theme the icon for itrophies?

**sephiroth726** · 02-19-2011, 01:43 PM

This is what i have, Bundles/com.vdoshi.itrophies/(I've tried 4 (the icon in the actual app is [email protected]) so I've tried that, icon@2x~iphone.png, [email protected], and even icon.png (since that is in the app folder too...)

**sephiroth726** · 02-19-2011, 01:44 PM

yes iTrophies

looks like it needs to be [email protected] ... checking the bundle name

and that is the correct bundle... after making the changes to the files go into winterboard uncheck the .theme you have been making the changes to and recheck it then respring and if it hasn't changed since then let me know... I'm going to be off for a while but will check back on this when I'm back

still a no go...

I don't know if this helps at all but I am using a template for EPHD he has a layer that says paste mask here and when I try to paste it always creates a new layer instead of pasting on that... I don't know if it has anything to do with it... I am just learning Photoshop... I don't know how to get it in that mask layer...

hmmmm... well since it is an appstore icon you don't need to have the frames over it as it will get skinned itself... let me see what I can do

**sephiroth726** · 02-19-2011, 03:16 PM

Sounds good, thanks for all your help so far, I am very new to this, I am in the learning process... I probably should've centered the trophies over the controller better...
