hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.
Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything
Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.
hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF
This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.
I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)
I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.
Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )
Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?

Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

ok thanks, I misunderstand what somebody says in other forums.
thanks again.
I have searched hi and low to find a way of making an icon pack for android without success.
I have a lot of icons i have created to use with go launcher and at the moment i have a folder full of png files which i have to select select manually which is tedious.
I have seen android icon packs which once installed are selectable via a gallery type option instead of using a file explorer.
Is there any software or other method which i can use to compile the icon set into an installable icon pack?
ADW launcher EX may be a good choice for you. You can change the icon to any photos which are in your gallery just on the desktop.

Thanks but I'm quite happy with Go Ex, it just keeps on getting better.
I can do that with Go launcher anyway.
I am actually looking for a way to compile all my icons into an apk or something so I can install the whole pack in 1 go, so any launcher or app can use the icons at will without having to open up an explorer app each time i wish to change an icon.

You need to make a metamorph with your desired icons. I personally just place my icons in sdcard/GOLauncherEX/gotheme/icon and then select them under long press icon/choose icon/menu/theme's icon
You could also apply the png to the ROM.zip but all in all unless using metamorph or waiting for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16240790&postcount=5
Hello I'm looking for a way for me to be able to change the icon picture of any application on my S3.
I do not want any other launcher like apex launcher to be able to do it.
I'm just looking for a simple way for me to select any picture in my gallery for my icons.
Please help!
Do you want to change the icons on your home screen or in your app drawer? You can use desktop visualizer for icons on your homescreen. Even with that I think you need a certain size pic to use as an icon. If you want to change icons in your app drawer you will need to search apk tool and learn how to pull apks from your phone,decompile them, change the icon, recompile them and reinstall them one app at a time. I don't think there is an easy way to do what your asking. If there is I hope someone posts it here cause I would like to know also.
After mostly lurking XDA for some time, I'm starting to get more involved here. I just broke down and purchased ADW EX, to setup a custom theme. I'm looking to use a combination of icons from Aw0ken ADW Theme, Elegant, and Simple Text. Naturally I'd like to use ADW EX, as I just purchased it, like it's options, and is compatible with the icon packs I like.
What I need to figure out is how exactly I can specifically edit different icons in the app drawer it's self. I find it relatively simple to change them on the home screen, but see no obvious way to change them in the drawer. My OCD in me is having a hard time here. Too many apps that I use regularly, either do not have a icon in the pack(s) at all, or one that does not look aesthetically appealing imo.
TL;DR - I'm open to any options that could get me to a result in which I could mix and match icons from different packs. Specifically, I want them to mix and match in the app drawer. Can't seem to get to any edit mode there, after trying long presses and multi-presses of icons.
Thanks in advance, let me know if I need to elaborate.
The app drawer that lists all of your applications, or the dock on the bottom of the home screen? Pretty sure u can't edit in the app drawer itself...

The app drawer itself. I know nova launcher lets you, my problem is that I don't see a way to make one of the icon packs work for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I use nova prime, and have for a while, and there is no way to change an icon in the app drawer itself!
Hi,
I have a big issue with the fact that I can't change the app icons to the ones i want. If I try to use apps like Icon changer, i am warned that "Your launcher may not support creating shortcut via Icon changer ", hence I am not allowed to do so. How can i fix this ? I don't want to install icons from certain icon packs, I want to change them with specific pngs.
Thank you in advance,
Liviu
Use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova. Or wait for the developer to update Icon Changer. The phone has only been available for a few days, and I suspect a number of apps will need to be updated to support it.
I am surprised about the small icon size when you put a few icons in a folder. I change the resolution to HD+ but that makes them no much bigger.
Pixel 2 launcher show's much bigger icons using folders but I like somehow the stock launcher.
Any ideas how to make the icons in folder look bigger?

At first I was not that happy with Nova but.....
I found a backup for the S9 and did import and hat to tweak it a bit.
Here a screenshot of the touchwiz and one of the Nova launcher.
Touchwiz is the first thing I dump on a tablet or phone and I've used Nova since it first came out. Lately though I've been using Microsoft Launcher (formally Arrow) and like a lot if it's features.
