Is it just me or is this 1326x more complicated than it was back in the early days of jailbreaking?

I'll give this a go later this evening. I appreciate all of your help.

Its more complicated because of the way apple has changed icon resources, resulting in the process becoming more complicated. I remember it being incredibly easy back on iOS 4 to make my own theme. I pull resources from all over and made an awesome one, but its gotten much more difficult since then. I think it started with iOS 7.

In general, I think the process has remained the same. The only difference is deleting the icon cache

in the past, we still needed to find the bundle id and what the app icon name is. I believe we also needed a certain app icon resolution in the past too, but I'm not entirely sure

Is there any reason you don't want to use winterboard instead?

He had a custom icon he wanted. He's still using winterboard or anemone

I'm using Winterboard. The problem is the theme I'm using doesn't theme all icons and the one icon I really want changed isn't themed. I'm just trying to drop an icon I found on Google into that theme. I was already able to delete icons I didn't like.

In that case, wouldn't it be simpler to make a new folder in that theme with the bundle id, drop the image file with the appropriate name in there, deselect and reselect theme in winter board, and then use winterboard's respring feature (which includes clearing the app icon cache)?

Thats what we're doing. The problem is, he doesn't know where the image file is stored

Oh, alright. I misunderstood and thought he was manually replacing the image file

In that case, he doesn't need to manually clear the app icon cache. Just needs to deselect and reselect the theme in winterboard and respring (inside winterboard)

Yep, after copying the icon image file into the proper folder within the theme. Problem is I can't locate the file to copy.

Yeah it's a pain to replace the image file with all the icon cache stuff.
