Hey guys!
I am trying to figure our how I can replace the existent app icon in insertcoin 15.0.1 with ones I downloaded as a zip file. So I got jpegs with new icons I want to use. The icons should completely replace the old ones, not only make a new shortcut with i.e. desktop visualizer. Sorry for making a new thread for that. Don't know where to post it else.
Greetings,
Sinisjekkt

I think that this thread is more suitable for the Q & A section. And I have no idea how to replace icons other than installing some launcher that supports that option.

in order to change icons, you would have to swap the icons out in the apk that contains the icon you want to change(make sure you make the new icon the same size as the old one) then you will also have to change the icons for the app in also the in system/apps(systemui.apk) , in system/framework (com.htcresourses.apk) and (framework-res.apk) hope the helps
Try this app

go to setting.. cm setting.. user interface.. tweaks extras, select a theme
I did that but only the notification bar changes?

If the notification bar changed it means that at least the framework-res.apk was changed, so maybe the theme did get applied.
Sometimes you have to manually set the widgets and the icons in order for the theme to look similar to the screenshots.
Which theme are you trying to install?
Well I understand that part but I seen themes where the apps are different and indicator colors are always different ..for example bliss and inexus ..I found those on themselves and apps on this forum

ive been lookin at changing my fonts this past week as well..... typefresh app works great.. just find the font and good font.ttf and find the .ttf file. then move to the sd card. open app and replace droidsans.ttf and clocktopia.ttf etc.. yeah ive noticed the fonts in the 300+ font threads don't work.. currenty on a search for easy flashable fonts.. easiest way i thnk\prefer...
There's the an app that I have, I think it's callled 'font selector' or something like that. It's in the market and free from what I remember. You should try it. The font list is updated really often too.
I tried that one. It sucks. The font packs don't look right in terms of formatting. I removed that app quick

Whenever I install an icon pack it always don´t change some icons like Contatcs and Messages and other icons. Why? I have a Deodexed Stock ROM and every icon pack has the same issue it only change some icons and the rest change only in the recent apps. Any way to fix this? Because I want to install a icon pack properly. Thanks.

You can always manually change the icons using a root explorer.

How? Extracting then replacing the icons? The question is that I changed the icons they are there but no changes, only in recent apps.
???

there are many techniques to install icons
1. If you want to install icons then download the icon pack by abhirockz and replace the icons in it with the ones you want
2. There is a software named as "apk edit" which allows you to change the name and icon of the desired apk.
Any more probs? PM me
I think This question belongs to faq sticky

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.

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

It's very simple actually to change apps and system icons if you are rooted and running custom recovery. That's how all available themes works. Launcher doesn't matter.
Get some theme, take a look at the zip folder/file structure inside and you'll see how easy is to replace any kind of apk resources making your custom icon pack.
Try anycut or bettercut and or desktop visualizer.
