How To Change Notification Icons in individual Apps? (eg: K9, Twidroyd, etc)

Hi All,

I was hoping somebody would be able to help me. I would like to edit the notification icons used by individual applications that appear in the task bar. (Not the ones in the framework-res.apk files but in the individual apk located in data/app.) I can pull the files and edit them easily enough.

I have read that I cannot place the edited app back into data/app due to hash values no longer matching and have been told that a possible workaround may be to put the edited file into system/app instead of data/app, but apparently I don't know how to do this properly. Do I remount, push the edited file and then delete the original from data/app? Is some kind of install or uninstall needed, either manual or from an adb command?? I am rooted with s-off. Thanks so much for any ideas or pointers in the right direction!
