Change Super Contacts Icon on the Palm Pre
I doubt many people will be searching for this post…
I like the Super Contacts app for the Palm Pre, and I decided to put it in the quicklaunch dock instead of Palm’s default Contacts app. The only problem with this is that the Super Contacts app is really ugly (my apologies, guys-who-made-it, I admit I’m shallow). Here’s what I did to replace it with Palm’s Contacts icon.
You’ll need to have command line access to your Pre. This can be done with the terminal app, but using it for more than a few seconds will probably make you want to kill yourself. I suggest using SSH.
First, back everything up:
[bash]
cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orgorganization.app.supercontacts
cp icon.png icon.png.backup
cp icon32x32.png icon32x32.backup
cp miniicon.png miniicon.png.backup
[/bash]
Sadly, I don’t even know which of those files (icon.png, icon32x32.png, or miniicon.png) is used for the dock icon, because my changes weren’t updated until I rebooted.
Replace the Super Contacts icon with the Palm Contacts icon:
[bash]
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.contacts/icon.png /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orgorganization.app.supercontacts/icon.png
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.contacts/icon.png /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orgorganization.app.supercontacts/icon32x32.png
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.contacts/icon.png /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orgorganization.app.supercontacts/miniicon.png
[/bash]
That should cover all of your bases. Just reboot and the old Super Contacts icon in the dock should have been replaced by the Palm Contacts icon.
