Hi!
I wonder if it is possible to change the icons in the ICS stock launcher, and if it is, how to do it the easiest way?
i am not intressted in changing launcher..
Thank you in advance!
Pretty simple, just long press an icon in the launcher, it will vibrate and you can remove that icon. Then go into app drawer, and select the app you want in the launcher. Just hold that app and drag down into the launcher.

Correct. It's possible via a third party launcher however.
Download an app called "icon changer" from the Play Store. It will create a shortcut with a custom icon on your launcher

Can you change the apps, or order of the default apps - phone, contact, messages, apps in the main screen at the bottom?
My phones is rooted and running stock rom. Thanks for any input.

I am using stock. I just remembered that I can use ADW Launcher. I haven't used that app since the HTC HD2. When I switched the HTC sensation I used the stock launcher.
Yes u can just open up your drawer and press the menu button and click edit.it will ask u to switch to "customizable grid" hit switch and then u then can edit ur dock bar icons

Hey guys, running stock ICS 4.0.2 on Vz Nexus. I'm using ADWLauncher EX but I prefer the stock ICS app drawer. Can anyone tell me how I can create a custom shortcut in ADW to launch the stock app drawer?
I tried Custom shortcut, Pick Your Activity, Activities, but from there I can't find the ICS app drawer.
Thanks!
I would like this feature too but suspect it is down to the developer of the launcher to add it to the options of app drawer preferences.
That would b good

Bump...still looking for an answer to this if anyone can shed some light. Thanks!
not possible. the stock app drawer is built into the app and theres no way to access it outside of the app.
additionally, as found by the developer of the Nova Launcher, unless the home app is a system app the widget menu won't work.
basically your just going to have to wait until Ander adds it into ADW or someone makes a new launcher from scratch based on the new launcher.
Is there a way to apply icon packs to all icons (drawer and desktop) in Nova Launcher, without doing it one by one?
Bumping as I am very interested in this as well
bump, im keen to know too!
I may be wrong but I think you can install adw icon packs and it should change them all

Nova settings >> Look and feel >> Icon theme
HTH
I only see some of the icon packs I downloaded. Anyone else notice this?

When I tried this, it doesn't change any of my icons. Is there something else that has to be done?

Long press an icon and manually change each? This was the only way I could do this, as opposed to a "change all." I only tried it once, though.

That should work for some of the icon packs. Others do not show up as available. If you want to test with a free icon pack download Dark Matter HD from Google Play Store and try it. i now show 4 available to select when i attempt it.
Hi so i installed the Sony Walkman apk onto the one v but i dont like the icon its the original orange "W".
Can someone give me a link with downloadable icons and instructions?
Thank You!
sorry there is nothing like that, you cannot change a unique icon from app drawer but from home screen with the help of nova launcher/ apex launcher you can change by long pressing on it and selecting edit option then you may choose what icon you want, still if you want to change icon from app drawer then you have to download whole icon pack for apex/nova by this it will change all icon in app drawer
im not using apex or nova launchers nor do i want to use them!
A thread over an icon change? Its that bothering? Wow lmao and you can't do anything unless you use a different launcher or are smart with apk tools. (Need to be rooted)

Is there a simple way to manually change icons? Not just for homescreen but in the app drawer as well
I don't understand you

Install a 3rd party launcher like Nova. It'll change the icons on your home screen as well as the app drawer. That's after you download and apply icon pack.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en Icon Changer? Idk Ive never used it.
Also I know theres some Icon packages by Black Bear Blanc over in his thread that Themes EVERY icon, no matter what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804627
or look at the icons here on his playstore:

Personally, If I ever feel the need to really change an icon, Ill photoshop it myself and replace it in the res folder of the app and re-install.

Well then there is no easy way to do it. You'll have to do what the guy above me said.

That icon changer app only changes the homescreen icon
So unzip the apps apk with 7zip then replace the icon file in the res folder? I might be able to do that.
I had a Meego Icon pack once that I could just add icons using a template from Nokia. It was packed as an apk so I could just add icons using 7zip and install it.
Do you know where icon pack apks are located? Maybe if I can pull it off the phone then I can add icons to the icon pack
If you're using a launcher like apex or nova you can change the icon and name by holding down the app icon and choosing edit
If that's not what you want then use the icon changer app above
