Hi,
I'm using Atom Launcher and i downloaded a few themes. The HTC sense icons don't seem to change but some other do e.g Phone and people icons are not changing. I've had this problem with Holo Launcher HD, Apex and Nova. Do i need to root my phone so that the theme can apply to all the icons?
Root shouldn't be needed, I used aosp icons back in the day with nova.
Also no need for themes, you can select in nova settings what kind of icons you want to use.

AOSP Icons change the stock HTC icons perfectly. They don't change when i use themes or icon packs.

Hi Guys,
I was just checking if I can get the Galaxy S like home screen on my DHD and found the TouchWiz Launcher APK in the forum. I was able to install this successfully but the Icons it is showing are the default Sense icons. Is there anyway I can change the Icons to Galaxy S like icons.
One thing... I have not rooted my handset yet.
Thanks.

Hmmm not exactly the answer you may be looking for but try purchase ADW EX Launcher. It has an iPhoneish setting which gives icons a coloured background and you can use the horizontal swipe app drawer aswell as modify the dock to a touchwiz style interface.
Regards.
I tried ADW Launcher with Gal S Theme which gave me Icons like Galaxy S. But In ADW, I am not able to select dock with 4 icons. The options are only 5, 3, 1 or none. So, I tried removing the Dock completely and extended the home screen to 5 rows so that I can use the bottom row as 4 icon dock. But the problem now is there is no dock at all in app drawer as well.
never mind...disregard.
Using a custom launcher this can be done.
You can use Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher and then change your icons manually - no automatic changing of all icons. This way you keep the ICS look and feel
You could use ADW, LauncherPro or Go Launcher EX which support themes so you could change all icons at once and you can also find plenty of themes around. You lose the ICS look and feel on the other hand...
There ale also some other apps that only change your icons but here too you'd have to do it manually.
So, until some launcher comes along that is based on ICS and supports themes, these are about all the options you have.

hmm, ok. thanks
ive tried almost all the launchers available in the play store and the problem is that the icons get rearranges in automatically when any new launcher is installed is there a way by which the launcher can adopt the deafult set of placements of the icons which are placed originally???

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.
Im not usein be launcher its the deafult i want the launcher 2 adopt my deafult icon set

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm using the original touchwiz lockscreen with the lightflare effect, but for my launcher I'm using nova launcher. For nova I can easily use a theme to change the look, but I also want to use the shortcuts on the lockscreen. These however only use the stock icons, and I would like these to match my launcher theme.
Is there ny way to use custom icons for these shourtcuts?
Thanks.

You would have to be rooted and then change the look of the actual system icon.

My phone is rooted, but I have no idea where to find the icons touch wiz is using to create the shortcuts. Perhaps someone knows the folder I have to check?
Hello everyone,
Can we use HTC themes with nova launcher? I mean if i m using nova launcher on my htc one m8, can i change apps icons through htc themes? Because I have successfully changed my apps icons using sense launcher, but can i do the same in nova also?
And one more related question is, if we start using nova launcher, will htc themes app then become useless (if we cant use it with nova)?

You have to make the changes to Sense Themse with the Sense launcher (Sense Homt) active. When you have choosen at theme and acent colors, you can install/activate another launcher.
When you istall another launcher Sense Home gets inactive and you can't choose any Sense thems or make changes to them.

Thank you for your response.
That means we can only use colors in nova launcher , what we have already chosen using sense theme? Cant we use the icons also in nova launcher, which we have already applied in sense launcher? I mean while using sense launcher, if i apply some icon set, they will be applied, but if i then change to nova launcher, can those changed icons stay there?
