Hi all,
Is there any way to change the icon for an app? The one in question is GO SMS... I don't like the green icon, ruins my blue theme!
I understand I may have to mess with the app itself, or install another app.. I don't mind really. I am quite technically minded but im new to android.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I think apex OR nova launcher and then you can use app Metrostation to color and icon

Pretty funny I'm doing exactly that nova prime with metro using ff00a2ff as opposed to ff33b5e5 ics

You can use Nova&Apex launcher. Long click on the app and than change click on the icon and choose the one u want to. This will only replace the desktop icon not the one in the launcher. replacing the drawer icon is a bit difficult. i hope i was able to help.

I've seen a few people in the show us your homescreen thread who have text icons for the apps in their dock, I.e. sms, phone, net etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting them? I have both adw and launcher pro plus so either would be good(although my preference would be for adw) thanks in advance.

Look in the Market under ( A home/ Open Home Simple theme)
Will I be able to use those icons in either launcher pro or adw? Or will I need panda or open home to use it?

Nice work bro, now I have many options, lol....would you guys know how to use custom icons for launcher pro (not in the dock but everywhere else?) I really like launcher pro but adw allows you to customize all the icons/theme so that's what I'm using for now
Wow I'm really diggin the green and red sets that you uploaded, decal. Not necessarily a big fan of either colors (i'm more of a blue guy myself but that can easily be changed) but I think it's the fact that I can actually read them without squinting! lol.
Yeah if you have photo shop you can also make these. I took the launcher pro icons and opened them and made them black to go with my dark theme.

I am using these icons: http://digitalstylewars.com/?page_id=209
with Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro also lets you set custom icons. Just do the following:
1 - Menu->Add or long-press the screen to choose "Shortcuts"
2 - Choose "Applications"
3 - Choose an app.
4 - Touch the icon and choose any of the text icons you have downloaded.

i just wanted to change battery.icon on top signals and wifi on the top right side of clock is there any way
Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Thats truly an amazing launcher, no other one allows such customization, I gotta have it. Thanks for the tip
Very nice
It does look pretty amazing! I might give it a whirl this weekend when I get paid.....still worth getting.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.
