Universal Icons is an Icon Manager.You can browse through the icons of any app in your phone and also save them to SD card/storage in as many possible resolutions that are available. If you have a rooted phone,you have a big bonus!!


PLEASE READ THE FULL DETAILS BEFORE PURCHASING THIS APP,WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSS BECAUSE OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS ON HOW THIS APP WOULD WORK.


IF THIS APP IS NOT LOADING IN XPOSED ON BOOT THEN YOU MUST TRY THIS MOD AND IT WILL WORK : http://www.modaco.com/topic/361776-xmod-disable-play-store-encryption-mntasec/


You CAN CHANGE ANY ICON PRESENT IN ANY APP and individually theme your icons.YES, by changing icons we mean you can change ANY ICON AND NOT JUST THE APP ICON.This is possible if you have Xposed Installer installed and activated.You just need to have the icons for replacement.


YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO CHANGE ICONS,IF YOU DON'T HAVE ROOT YOU CAN STILL BROWSE ICONS AND SAVE THEM TO YOUR SD CARD/STORAGE.


This must work perfectly on most of phones and has been tested on an AOSP based ROM.There may be some conflicts with ROMs having theme choosers for changing system apps but for installed apps,it must just work fine on all ROMs.


Before purchasing this app,you can check if it works in your phone by downloading this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ash.axndxuniconssystemui


XDA thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xposed-systemui-icons-t2835676


CAUTION: AFTER INSTALLING UNIVERSAL ICONS PLEASE UNINSTALL SYSTEMUI ICONS IF INSTALLED PREVIOUSLY !


WHAT CAN THIS APP DO??
1. LET YOU SEE ALL THE ICONS USED IN ANY APP ON YOUR PHONE.(EVEN ON UNROOTED PHONES)
2. LET YOU SAVE ICONS USED IN ANY APP ON YOUR PHONE.(EVEN ON UNROOTED PHONES)
3. REPLACE AN ICON WITH ANY ICON FROM GALLERY ---IF AND ONLY IF THE PHONE IS ROOTED AND HAS XPOSED INSTALLED---

MORE FEATURES COMING!!


WHAT CAN'T THIS APP DO??
1. PROVIDE ICONS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE ORIGINAL ICONS.
2. FEED YOUR CAT.


HOW TO USE?
Install this app, go to Xposed Installer and Activate this module and Reboot.To manage icons:
1. OPEN THE APP AND TAP ON THE ADD NEW MASKS(PLUS) BUTTON.
2. SELECT AN APP FROM THE LIST OF ALL APPS AND WAIT UNTIL THE LOADING IS DONE.
3. FROM THE LIST OF ICONS, SELECT AN ICON THAT YOU WANT TO EITHER CHANGE OR SAVE TO STORAGE.
4. TO CHANGE, PRESS THE CHANGE BUTTON AND IN THE NEW DIALOG PRESS THE PLUS BUTTON.
5. SELECT ANY IMAGE FROM GALLERY (THE REPLACEMENT ICON/IMAGE SIZE MUST BE LESS THAN 75KB) AND THEN PRESS APPLY BUTTON.
6. NOW YOU CAN REBOOT THE PHONE OR DO THE SAME WITH OTHER ICONS AND REBOOT IT LATER.
7. AFTER REBOOT,IT WILL TAKE 15 SECONDS TO LOAD AND APPLY ALL THE ICONS, ONCE DONE THE WHOLE UI WILL BE REFRESHED AND THE CHANGES WILL BE VISIBLE.


WHAT IN THIS APP ARE NOT BUGS?
1. LOADING AN APP - THIS WILL TAKE TIME DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE APP AND NUMBER OF ICONS IN THE APP.
2. CHANGING THE ICONS ON REBOOT- THIS WILL TAKE UPTO 15 SECONDS AFTER THE REBOOT BECAUSE THE APP HAS TO LOAD ALL THE IMAGES FROM SD CARD.
3. SOME ICONS DO NOT SHOW CHANGE BUTTON - NOT ALL ICONS CAN BE REPLACED,ONLY THE ONES THAT CAN A SHOW THE CHANGE BUTTON.


WHY DOES THIS APP NEED THESE PERMISSIONS?
1. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: TO SAVE IMAGES ON STORAGE/SD CARD.
2. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: TO CLEAN ALL APP RESIDUALS ON STORAGE AND REFRESH UI ON BOOT.
3. KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: TO REFRESH USER INTERFACE.
4. ACCESS_SUPERUSER: TO RUN SHELL COMMAND(pkill).


NOTE:
1. THERE MAY BE SOME APPS WHICH MAY NEVER CHANGE ICONS,WE JUST CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
2. ROMs LIKE CYANOGEN MOD HAVE THEME CHOOSERS WHICH MAY CAUSE CONFLICT WITH THIS APP(FOR SYSTEM APPS' ICONS).AGAIN, ITS NOT IN OUR HANDS.
