Basically I want to move the playstation network sign in thingy to the network category in the xmb and the trophy thing to the game category, so how can I do that? I also want to remove the playstation network category since it will be useless after this.

Moving something from one tier to another, I'm not sure if the sprx files will allow for it. That's a good question though. @LuanTeles may know. Removing the PSN tier is possible though and easy enough to do in the xmb_plugin_normal.rco and xmb_ingame.rco.
 
I removed that tier for you:

here's a package (remember to enable dev_blind or it won't install):

Most items will work in any category while on the XMB but may break when accessed through the in-game XMB. To function properly, these items need their names included in the new category RCO, and some require additional work due to dependencies tied to their original category SPRX. The ones I know of are Billboard, My Channels, Photo Gallery, Trophies, and possibly Sign-Up/Sign-In. You can swap the SPRX files with those from other categories, but doing so will break other features.

Trophies can be moved to the game category, but it will not work while in-game XMB.

I'm not all that experienced with XML editing for the categories, so I'll leave that for him to test.

Op, to remove categories, decompile the rco files with rco mage. In the main XML, change menus from 0xa to 0x9. This tells the xmb how many categories you have, from 10 to 9 in this case. Then just delete the category you want deleted 's line. Recompile with zlib compression in rco mage.

Alright, I also have another question, where are the default xmb icons stored? in game xmb doesnt use theme icons so I wanted to know if they can manually be replaced with icons from a ps3 theme, also because i want to make the text chat icon consistent with my theme (which is a ps2 theme), i have found an rco where the category icons are stored, and editing it worked showing the ps2 styled category icons in the ingame xmb, but i just cant find all the other icons.

Sorry for the double-post, but default theme icons are in the file above, the icontex.qrc in dev_blind/vsh/resource/qgl. They're each individually compressed in the file via zlib compression. Easiest way possibly to make your own is the Nvidia 3d plugin for Photoshop with specific save settings. Remember, the files are inverted.

@LuanTeles if you give me the new user icon, I could try to add it. I wasn't sure if the above is what you wanted. I didn't quote you or mention you, so I'm not sure if you know about it. I think it looks better than what we got. I think the new user icon is 42n btw. that remote play is 21n iirc.
