It seems, that in Alfresco 5 the icons are hardcoded into the js files, see:
share/components/documentlibrary/documentlist-view-detailed.js
share/components/documentlibrary/documentlist-view-gallery-min.js
share/components/documentlibrary/documentlist-view-simple-min.js
share/components/documentlibrary/documentlist-view-table-min.js

they all contain the almost same code part:

    if (isContainer){
       …folder-64…
    else{
       …
    }

change it to:

    if (isContainer){
        if (record.node.type == "cm:folder"){
            …folder-64.png…
        else if(record.node.type == "xyz:folderZ"){
            …youricon-64.png…
    }else{
            …
    }

its basically the same as what is described in this post from 2011 : https://forums.alfresco.com/comment/71025#comment-71025 , but the record object changed, you have to check record.node.type instead of record.nodeType

Is this still the only / best way to assign custom icons to a custom folder type?

I need to assign status indicators as well so they are not a solution for me.
