I'm running 10.10.4, and can't seem to be able to change the generic folder icon. I've tried going into
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ replacing the icon there but it made no change. Then I tried the app Liteicon and it just made the generic folder icon disappear. Does anyone know how to change it?

If you are simply trying to change the default icon to something else, here is an answer I provided for a previous post. I have used this to customize several icons in the Finder's sidebar.
As far as I know, there's no image that you can change to change the background of the Dock. However, you can give the image to DockMod which will let you change the background.

I'm using Mac OSX Yosemite latest 10.10.5 and I've definitely sticked to the CandyBar app version 3.3.4 which is totally free from Panic inc.
I've been using CandyBar app since the Leopard days, the app works great until OS X 10.8 and "beyond", but now it is free and unsupported, so for OS X Mavericks / Yosemite etc. it might work with some hiccups. Nevertheless one can change icons for almost everything from system files to folders.
