Retina icons for normal apps!!!

^Yup. I just have everything opened up in iPhone Explorer to see the contents.

For the guys who linked me to that theme, that's not an iPhone theme. That's just a high res SBSettings theme. I'm looking for the iPhone theme:

not sure if this is what you're looking for but this is what I'm using at the moment...

Quality Theme
 
If you have iFile you can skip the ssh and turn on application names in ifile settings and skip the painful sbsettings application name converter.

Once you turn on application names in ifile just go to the app you want. I will use Bing for example. Go into the Bing folder. Select the iTunes Artwork file and hit add to camera roll. Then use Aces Zoom from the app store, it's free. Select the iTunes artwork from aces zoom and edit the picture and change it to 114x114. Then go to your DCIM folder in ifile and copy it back to the Bing.app folder. Rename icon.png to backupicon.png and the paste the new 114x114 picture from camera roll and rename it to icon.png. Respring Voilà. You now have retina icons without leaving your iPhone.
 
I would really like one for iBlacklist. That's the only one I seem to be missing. Greatly appreciated and awesome thread!
 
Very good thinking...this is great! If it's as simple as doing what the OP has recommended then the developers of these applications have no excuse. What the heck are they waiting for?
 
Thanks so much to everyone that contributed! Saved me lot of time :)

I'll come back and post ones that I made...
 
You have to be jailbroken to do this right?

Jailbreak is looking more and more tempting
 
Dude...the ifile method via ssh is soo easy..that way you alreayd have the icons and you just use a small file size shrinker to quickly shrink them and via ssh replace the icon and respring...that way you alreayd have hte icons becuse you have the app on your phone...wicked easy!!! Thanks OP!
 
I found an app called simple camera in the app store and it too is free and far easier to use than aces zoom in my opinion have fun people
 
A few from me:

SharePrice
Sleep Cycle
0870
Mercury browser (made a slight amendment, don't like their current icon)
Dragon Lair

I'm sorry to ask...
but does anyone know, or if anyone has tried customizing their icons manually..

how do you exactly change the FaceBook icon... and installous icon via root.

Library/Themes/Bundle/(com.facebook.Facebook) then what's the icon name suppose to be?

is it icon.png or icon@2x.png?

It's frustrating me so much... that's one of the apps i want to change. and i finally got down winterboard which was icon.png...

i've tried both icon@2x and icon.png...


Thanks :apple:

Should be "Icon@2x.png". Make sure you are using a capital "I". It recognizes "icon@2x.png" and "Icon@2x.png" as two separate files.

Alright thanks anonymous.
It helped. See i didn't try that... now that i think of it. it makes sense now...

but one problem... there's like a thin line bordering around the fb icon...
 
This has been so awesome, thanks for the heads up on how to do this, I've replaced just about all my icons except for a couple of the jailbreak ones that don't have the "iTunesArtwork" file available.

I did make a couple myself, one for snes4iphone and the other for ControlPad.

Hey special blend loving those icons :) think I might have to replace some of mine now
 
It was only the other day when I was looking at apps in the app store and looked at the big icon that comes up with all of the info and I thought 'that must be higher res than the iphone icon, why can't they just use that?'.
