Guide to port Nova Icon Packs to Huawei theme engine!

This will replace icons in the Huawei launcher and also in notification bar and pull-down.
It is pretty simple, but takes some time so be patient.
I've done this with the Urmun Icon Pack.

Needed things:

• PSPad
• Bulk Rename Utility
• 7zip
• Icon Pack APK for Nova
• Some Huawei Theme file
• Little patience

First of all you need Icon Pack APK for Nova, which you will decompress using 7zip.
Then in the folder find folder called res and inside of it you have to find the folder with all the icons (will be the biggest folder).
Copy the icons somewhere and remember the place.

Second step is finding file called appfilter.xml. Note that there are 2 of these files in some icon packs, one is encrypted, but the second one isn't and you need the unencrypted one.
Open appfilter.xml with PSPad.
Hit Control+H and check Regular Expressions, search in whole document and whole file.
The the first field paste the following:

Code:

---

(<[a-zA-Z0-9 ="]+\{)([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)(\/[a-zA-Z0-9._\}" ]+=")([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)([" \/>]+)

---

To the second field paste the following:

Code:

---

$4.png|$2.png

---

Now hit ok and you can rest and watch the magic for a while.
Once is the magic finished, you have to to remove all comments from the file by pasting the following to the first field in the PSPad Control+H and nothing at all to the second field.

Code:

---

<!--.*-->

---

Hit OK, wait a little.
Now remove all the lines above the first line with the following format:

Code:

---

some_name.png|some.other.name.png

---

Now you have to remove all the tabs and spaces so hit Control+H again and paste this to the first field, leaving the second blank.

Code:

---

[        ]+

---

Hit OK, watch the magic.
Once this is done, you have to remove all blank lines. To do this simply hit EDIT -> Lines manipulation -> Remove blank lines in the PSPad.
Now save this file as rules.txt

Third step is to open Bulk Rename Utility and navigate it to the folder with images you extracted in the first step.
Hit Renaming options -> Prevent duplicates
Hit Actions -> Import Rename-Pairs
Click one of the images in the list and hit Control+A to select them all
Finally click Rename in the right down part of the window
Confirm all and wait a little

Final step is to put all the icons to the Huawei Theme file.
Open Huawei Theme file (.hwt) with 7zip, there should be file called icons so open it in 7zip
Now drag'n'drop all the renamed icons to the 7zip window
Wait a while
Once done, you can copy your theme to the phone and apply it.
Viola, new icons!
