Changing Activity icons

I'm wondering where the mobile theme activity icons are located and can be referenced?

These look like the standard Boost activity icons. And it has been an issue in main Moodle for a long time that they don't have selectors like other objects do and we end up just swapping out the actual icon files.

This seems to be true also of the Mobile theme. Has anyone been able to change or customize the standard activity icons in any way, or give me hand with some other information where to look for these.

Thanks,

Randy

change them via code , no , i dont know, but !
a small trick can help
make the activity hidden but available , then make a label activity with the icon you want , small image allign at right ( try and test for best fit on mobile) then copy the link of the actual activty , and past the link into the image
so the user see an icon , click it , open activity as usual

Thanks Mohammad, that is a useful trick, but since in this case there are over 250,000 activities, and we already have custom icons for all activities, that trick won't help us much.

If someone knows where the icons files are in the Mobile code and how they are bundled in, we would be willing to consider our own compile and make our own app if there is no other recourse.
