Hello everyone.
So Ive installed BetterCut. and came acrros the problem, that I cant find a "home" or I just cant change icons and the application FCs on me.. ive tried changing to LauncherPro but I get the same problem,.
Is there another app I can use to change Icons?
I use desktop visualizer, it's also free
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
oH I will try that, thank youuuu very much!
i use golauncher ex and i like it because you dont have to delete the icon on yr homescreen and add it again to change the icon. you can just press and hold like you were going to delete it and tap replace to change the image.

plz advise.... thks...
i understand that you have go to start/settings/today and use this picture as the background and choose image from your device or storage card?
yes but it could not work.. any idea how can go about this without activating the hard reset?
i have the same problem... :/
just rename the wallpaper you want in the existing one and replace,reset.
Where is the default file located, and what is it called..?
Just go to setting if you are using touchFLO, on the menu that slides below and choose wallpaper (home wallpaper) select no whe it ask to change default wallpaper and choose your picture, don't go to today or change wallpaper from the picture viewer it doesn't work, this problen is not fixed in the original rom.
Bye...

as far as I remember changing it on today would only be seen if you can see the today screen and with TF3D running , you can't see it
TF3D is effectively an app that hijacks the screen so it's background is the one you should change
if you are using TF3D you need to scroll to the settings tab on TF and choose wallpaper there.

If the only reason you're wanting to change the Icon is for how it appears on your homescreen, then I'd say the easiest way is to use Desktop Visualizer, available in the Market. You can alter/edit/change how the icons are on your homescreen, but the icon will still be the original from within your app drawer, if you use that method. But yea, if it's just for homescreen appearance, that's the easiest way. If that's not what you're after, and you want to change the icon completely, then I beleive you could use 7zip to open up the .apk, find the png for the icon, and replace/alter/edit. I did it that way once, but it was just for a couple of icons, and I was more or less just messing around with things. But it worked fine. Then I learned of Desktop Visualizer and said forget about it.
Also, if you're using a rom that supports easy theming - CM7 with the theme chooser, or MIUI with the theme manager - you could build a quick theme with all of the icons you want to change. I did this with the Aelous HD theme for MIUI by adding the icons that weren't already themed. You put the icons in the "icons" folder with the format packagename.png - it usually looks something like com.something.something.png. I'm sure there's a similar way with CM7 themes.
Easy Way
I use ADW EX. It lets you easily change any app icon. It's a paid app but is really worth it for all the extras. Be aware though, that if you're using a sense rom, ADW will also replace your rosie. Another cool thing about ADW is that there are a ton of icon packs available or you can just dowload pngs from the web and use those.
I'm not 100% sure but I think Launcher Pro also lets you change icons in a similar way.
Well I use go launcher which does basically everything the other launchers do but I want to change the app drawer icons themselves o tried the 7zip method but no avail either the app icon completely disappears or it won't open at all. I.e. browser and system.changing the phone.apk makes the my phone go into FC mania.any other way or is there something I'm missing or just not doing right

The way I do it may seem like the hard way but this is what I do!
I use a program called App Manager 4.9 (google it or search for it on here)
I extract the apk I want to MOD from my EVO using root explorer or if you're on windows and you got ADB working properly, I use the program called DroidExplorer
Anyways, assuming that you got App Manager 4.9 up and running....I place the .apk into the modding folder...bring up App Manager 4.9 and hit 22...select my project, hit 9 for decompile....once that's done, I go into the project folder and find the folder drawable-hdpi....sometimes is called drawable-hdpi-v4 depending on what rom you're using.....I then find the icon I want to change...change it!....and then run up app manager again, press 22...select my project....then hit 11 for compile...once that's done....I either use droidexplorer once again and place it in the correct folder it came from or connect the device to the computer, open up usb storage and place it in a folder...use root explorer to then move it to the correct folder....reboot the device once everything is said and done, and BOOM!...is done!!
Like I said, this is too much work for some people BUT I rather do it this way because I know is done right and I don't have to settle for temporary half ass apps trying do it!

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S6312 Dual sim, rooted, deodexed, working cwm.
I used root explorer and extracted secsettings.apk and opened the folder which I extracted. In that I went to res/drawable-hdpi and replaced ic_system_settings.png wit my own icon. I archived the folder and renamed it to .apk and pushed it to system/app and replaced the original apk. I rebooted my phone and got a boot loop. Next time I extracted systemui.apk and went to folder, opened res/drawable-mdpi and replaced the settings icon whith my own icon. After the phone rebooted there was no change in the icon. I actually wanted to change the settings icon fully like on the home screen, app drawer and once I open settings also. Please suggest a method for doing it thanks in advance.

Mates,
KE2 with OC KDD kernel; TW4.
How do I change the default apps by pressing Contacts or SMS?
I want to use 3rd party Contacts and SMS app; but still want to use TW4...
Open applications menu. Click menu button and choose edit. For message program change: Drag message icon out into the application area. The drag gosms onto the apps/icons bar. Hope this is clear.

Ahhh; sorry mate; didnt explain clear enough. Got a customized theme; and because of this the icons are according to the theme; but if I change the SMS icon with the Go SMS; then I loose the customized icons.....
But thanx for the tip though :=)
Ahh OK. So to keep the icons the same change the shortcut link different I suppose another option, rather than change the shortcut link, would be to change the icon/shortcut and then change its icon to the your theme.
I have no idea which is easier and how to do it unfortunately so just putting it out there in case it helps. I guess for both these things you may need to root your phone and get a more powerful file browser.

it will give you the option of selecting one of the launchers as a default
so when it gives you the option, check the box where it says make default and then select the launcher you like

There is an app in the Market called "Home Switcher for Froyo" (make sure you use the one that states it is for Froyo as it is also Gingerbread compatible and the earlier version IS NOT).
Download and Install this app and when you press the home key next time make sure you click the check box that states "make this your default home screen" and that menu will go away.
If you want to use any other launcher you have installed later on then go to the app "Home Switcher", click on it and you can then launch whichever launcher you want to use from the app itself.
Hope that makes sense to you. Welcome to the land of the FREE and the home of the CUSTOMIZABLE!!!
I have a n7105T (the Telstra telecom 4G model)
They have done something to limit the touchwiz home screen, so that I cant add, subtract or alter the Dock icons at all
I cant add more or take any away..
I was wondering if there is a config file somewhere I can edit to change the dock Icons?
It would be better If I could add folders but just changing which icons I have there would be enough.
also I'm not rooted and prefer not to root at this stage.
Things tried:
Long press
Edit
go to app drawer and choose edit
Long press an app in app drawer (this shows the home screen but HIDES the dock!)
