iPhone 2.0 Original App Icons
by gaurav on Jul.30, 2008, under iPhone
well…. i noticed that the cracked apps for iPhone 2.0 have shitty square icons without the effect and shine that we iPhone users have so gotten used to.. made my Springboard look real bad.. i can’t stand that you know..
so after much effort and a lot of coding to automate the process i present to you..
iPhone 2.0 App Original Icons from iTunes
[these are icons with rounded corners and shine. the way they look in iTunes and the way they're supposed to look on the iPhone because after all i pulled them outta the iTunes XML files.. 
]
these will definitely make your Springboard look better..
people who are cracking the apps may feel free to use these icons in the app folder before distribution.
installation:
1. select the icon you need
2. use WinSCP or Fugu to connect to your iPhone
3. browse to /Applications/
4. open the Application.app folder that you wanna change the icon for
5. rename the icon.png file there, add .bak to the end
6. place the new icon and rename it, giving it the same name as the older icon file taking uppercase of lowercase letters in consideration.
[icon.png is not Icon.png is not ICON.png]
7. set perms 775
8. respring/reboot your iPhone
9. enjoy..
.: download archive with all 57×57 icons here :.

[total icons 2441]
updated 01.09
.: preview and download all 512×512 artwork here :.
iTunes AppStore Original Artwork 512×512 (2476)
[ideal for use with the AppFlow application]
EDIT: more icons added [01.09]
PS: if you can’t find the icon you’re looking for.. drop a comment and i’ll add it to the gallery…
UPDATE: the latest update is the one i downloaded on 1st september.. i just checked again and the batch script i made for the purpose does not work anymore. so i can’t promise any more updates after this.. i’ll try to work out another method.. but i strongly suggest people to switch to the MobileInstallation patch method. it makes your life easy.. the icon archive includes all icons requested in the comments above.
