I wish we had an export feature. I can’t root this Moto X², so I can’t get the icons for other use 🙁

I have a script tool to save any image from lightning picker (except nine patches…didn’t notice that! ) into files…perhaps I should have shared it 😛
]]>
< ![CDATA[
TrianguloY hell yes!
Don’t need 9.png. Gimme what you got, don’t be selfish man! 🙂
You know I can’t script.

Chris Chastain before LL I exported apps icons my self, it’s quite easy!
I use ES Explorer : (no root needed)
Search the app you want (in Library > App, in the drawer), then select “backup” to get the apk.
The apk is by default in /sdcard/backups/apps/.
There you can long press on it, then extract it as a normal zip file, then go where you extracted it, and find icons and 9patchs somewhere in the “res/drawable*” folders

Benoît de Chezelles method is the best one.
But in case you want, this is the script.
Keep in mind it allows only one image each time, and no 9.png allowed. Also the name of the file is not saved, although you can choose your own name.
var path=”/storage/emulated/0/LightningLauncher/Images/”
LL.bindClass(“android.graphics.Bitmap”);
LL.bindClass(“java.io.FileOutputStream”);
LL.bindClass(“java.io.File”);
var icon=LL.pickImage(0);
if(icon == null) return;
if(icon.isNinePatch()){
alert(“This is a NinePatch, and it’s currently not supported by this script”);
return;
}
var name=””
var c=0;
do{
name=prompt(“Name of the file?”,”file”);
c++
}while(name==””&&c<1000);
if(name==null) return;
var dir=new File(path);
// have the object build the directory structure, if needed.
dir.mkdirs();
icon.getBitmap().compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,100,new FileOutputStream(path+name+”.png”));
Android.makeNewToast(“saved”,true).show();

TrianguloY interesting also 🙂 there is an icon from the default LL theme that I can’t get anywhere… I’ll save it that way, thanks!
PS: is it your script?
-> You compress the image with a PNG compression, then save the file as JPG ^^
-> For the ninepatch msg, I would say something like that : “This is a NinePatch, and is currently not supported by this script”

As It seems you will test the script heavily, you can provide feedback to improve it if possible.
I’ll try to post it in the wiki too.

< ![CDATA[
Thanks to you both! I should have complained before now!
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Chris Chastain with pleasure 😉
TrianguloY I updated my last post with 2 little suggestions!
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Benoît de Chezelles about the png/jpg: I noticed that, but when I did this script I remember I copied that line from somewhere (technically that line is not mine) and I never changed that.
I tested and searched a bit, and you are right, the correct extension should be png 😛
About the alert: I wrote that sentence 21 minutes ago, and maybe I weren’t very inspired. I’ll use yours 🙂

Chris Chastain I have the same problem with my tablet. It originally shipped with Jelly Bean, but it updated to KitKat. There are several methods of root for this tablet with the JB OS, but none with KK.😈 but honestly, KK is worth it. I’ll keep working on it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
TrianguloY thanks again for sharing your scripting knowledge! I keep reading and playing around, but it still doesn’t click in my head. In fact, yesterday I was trying to make a Zooper style battery bar using bindings. All I managed to accomplish was crash LL, and ended up having to delete the desktop! Haha!

< ![CDATA[
True Benoît de Chezelles is right, no root needed, you can extract icons, 9patches, images hell almost anything by making a backup in es, extract the apk and start digging in the drawables lol don’t even have to extract it but have to open each file all the way individually to view the image… I am hopeless on scripting myself, I don’t even get bindings, so sad lol
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Corey Spell I find it better to extract it, because we can open every icon in once into an image viewer (like QuickPic for example), it’s easier to find what you’re looking for 😉
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Benoît de Chezelles yes I fully agree with you, I would go nuts opening each image file and have to open all of them to find the one you want. Jus gotta remember to erase all the data/cache etc. Files extracted with them
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Corey Spell & Benoît de Chezelles I use root browser and it gives you the option to explore apks. It allows you to see all images and only extract the ones you want. If you have the complete ROM toolbox, the app manager allows you to explore and backup the apks of any app installed on your system.
I finally got root on my tablet yesterday. I was helping one of my employees with his phone, and a thread on XDA recommended kingroot for his model. To my surprise, it worked on my tablet as well!

< ![CDATA[
Thomas Greer yea kingroot is doing very well, I got a LG G4 and VK700 tablet today replacing my broken Maxx and I’m curious which I’ll consider first lol soooo tempting . Root explorer is great too, I can backup system apps with es without root but if it when I root one of these I’ll probably change
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Corey Spell I use root browser without root too. You just can’t see the contents of a few folders etc.
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Thomas Greer well looks like I am gonna be forced to root this new LG G4 and the tab.. Lollipop is absolutely horrible lol I sooo want kit Kat back man Google really screwed this one up, you should see my ram usage for all apps and battery is gone in a couple hours… Wow
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Corey Spell what sucks, is you can’t install the M developer preview. Supposedly, they’ve included several battery saving modes, such as “doze”, that increases battery life by days, but you have to own a nexus. What a crock of shit. At least the G4 will probably be big enough that someone will develop a recovery and ROMs!
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Thomas Greer yea they screwed this up bad and I jus watched the battery drop 60% in 2hrs with everything optimized and I know what I’m doing. The ram usage problem of lollipop before is amplified to the point of insanity crawling a gb in a matter of seconds. And the recent apps… Aaaahhhhhhhhh!! Every single useless window opens up in the list so more than 50 tabs build up for every lil drop down menu popup… Lollipop has a couple ok features but I hate it I think Google has slipped bad, this thing is going back to verizon tomorrow and I have to pay about 100$ restocking feel lmao man no lube or goodbye kiss 😂😂😂
]]>
< ![CDATA[
The tablet is ok but I just can’t get used to 1 gb of ram without root so here goes kingroot since I Have no pc but probably won’t work with my luck lol
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Ill be damned….success! I got a solid root from an app hehe. ..busy box took a couple tries but its in there and I’m considering xposed but a custom recovery would be great but I hear doing it without a PC isn’t safe….oh what a paradox lol
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Corey Spell which app did it for you?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Thomas Greer, it was kingroot, it is a very powerful app apparently cuz I even caught about 5 mins of root several times on that Motorola droid max which is one of the tightest locked down devices in existence, but unfortunately that sneaky bastard busted me and said root just after we cracked the backdoor and booted us right back out…sooo I couldn’t resist taking that crowbar to that tab and got lucky lol😁😁😂😂
