Change Generic Windows Icon to Android Icon. **UPDATED**

The purpose of this tutorial is to change the generic windows icon of your G1 to an Android icon. What icon you ask? The generic removable disk icon given to your G1 when you plug it in to your PC. i thought it would be fun to create one that differentiates it from the rest. So here we go!

1. First of all we are going to download the pack ive created for you here.

2. Second we are going to rename the drive to Android G1 like i have on this image.


3. Third we are simply going to unpack the files you downloaded using an application like, WinRAR or 7-Zip. WinRAR offers you a 30day trial and 7-Zip is an open source freeware product. Choose one that fits you.

4. Now we are simply going to drag it into the root of the drive. Seeing since mine is the "K:/" drive, im going to place it in there. Once that is done, highlight both icons and choose properties and check off the "Hidden" attribute so that you don't accidentally delete them.


5. You're all set! Enjoy your new icon! Im going to be making a Vista version for all you people that like high quality icons. Stay tuned!

***UPDATE***
I went ahead and created another set. One for Vista and one for XP users. This time, instead of the cute looking android character, i used one of the actual phone. Heres what it looks like. No need to rename files, just drag and drop from the packs ive created.

- Downloads are here
XP G1 Icon 48x48
Vista G1 Icon 256x256
Transparent Android Icon (Thanks wirbly!)
