Im working on switching out my icons and I have found where all the icons are for apps I have downloaded but I am having difficulties finding where the stock app icons are located. Anyone know where I can find the info for apps such as the dialer, settings, notes, etc. Thanks

Also, on a side note, why are some of the icons sized 114x114 and some are 118x120?
 
On an iPhone 4S, IOS 6.1.1

/Applications/Camera.app/Camera@2x~iphone.png
/Applications/Contacts~iphone.app/icon@2x.png
/Applications/Maps.app/Icon-57@2x.png
/Applications/Maps.app/Icon@2x.png
/Applications/MobileMail.app/Icon@2x.png
/Applications/MobileNotes.app/icon@2x.png
/Applications/MobilePhone.app/icon@2x~iphone.png
/Applications/MobileSMS.app/icon@2x.png
/Applications/MobileTimer.app/icon@2x~iphone.png
/Applications/Preferences.app/icon@2x~iphone.png
etc.

Ok Thanks. My next question is....If I want to change those icons, can I put them in the same folder I have created (My Theme/Bundles/Icons) or do I have to put those into a different location. Im asking because I already tried to change the phone icon and I put it in with the rest of my icons and named it "com.apple.mobilephone" like it should, and the icon never changed?
 
The reason some are 114x114 Nd some are 118x120 is because 114x114 is the size of any app you get in the app store and 118x120 is the size of anything native to the iPhone or anything gotten through cyida.
If you want to switch the icon, you have to use a picture that has the same size as the and place it into the folder of the application and rename icon@2x.png (or whatever the origional one was) and save the origional icon by just changing the name to (backup)icon@2x.png or something like that. Then to have it actually apply resorting the phone or device through winterboard. (not all resprings are the same)

Have fun!!
 
Your thread should be titled "Winterboard Icon Locations for Stock Apps." The info I gave you is for replacing the stock icons without using a theming app.

I believe it's basically the same premise though, right? Whether I just replace the icons or use winterboard to create my own "theme icons." You still have to locate where the icons and info.plist are, which is what I was struggling to find.

Im just trying to figure out the easiest way to go about changing the theme and icons.
