I have been searching online to try to find an app that will allow icon labels to be changed. ie, I might have two camera icons and both say camera. I might want to change one of those labels.
Does anybody know of an app that will work with 4.1.2 on the Note 2?

Just read through icon changer free and it doesn't let you change the name only the icon in question.

If you are using Nova Launcher you can change or remove labels on the homescreen or maybe you could change the icon to another one so you can tell them apart.If 1 of those does not get used at all by you,you could go to system/app find the one you don't use,re-name it to .bak instead of .apk and reboot.That way it is removed but not deleted.Hope any of those can help.
thanks for the replies. I want to be able to change the icon label in the app drawer as well as the home screen. I don't see a solution here for the app drawer. I am not necessarily interested in changing the actual icon.

I have been using 7zip to replace icons for my docked apps. The only one that has eluded me so far is the phone icon. I found the stock green phone icon in res\drawable and replaced it but it did not change on the app or dock. Usually the icon for others was in res\drawable-hdpi. Soooo my question is where the heck is the one I need to change. Thanks.
I believe its in dialertabactivity.apk
Thats where it takes the icon from

Now, any idea where that default apps icon is stored? The white 16 square rectangle that Zeam, launcher and LP use? Is it in Framework-res? I can't find it in Zeam so think it is in the system somewhere. Thanks.

What launcher are you using? It is in the laucher. I use adwex, one of its features is the ability to change the icons....I change them all the time.

Zeam. It's not in the drawable-hdpi where I found all my other icons for apps.
The way I do it sometimes it just open the apk with 7zip, the take the res folder and drag it to the desktop, or whatever, open it in windows, and change the view to large icons, then you can look at all the images in the apk and find what you want.

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, but Zeam has so many drawables... I guess I have no choice but to look at them all. Really though the apps icon was a system default a lot of launchers used.
Got it! Had a wierd name action_apps_grid or something like that. Thanks for the help. I have made my phone my own now...
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

I may be wrong but I think you can install adw icon packs and it should change them all

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.
i need help in changing icon in my device galaxy s2 is it possible that i can change icon or download then set like i do in PC if so then how i am new user of android just bought samsung s2 so please help..i like to change he icons
Which icons are you talking about? Launcher, notifications, status bar? There are a few different ones. Is there a specific style you are looking for? What rom are you on and is it rooted?

I'm trying to change the icons for apps on my home screen.
I am using the touchwiz and is there any way i can change it without the use of launchers?
There is probably an easier way but if you root you can replace the res/drawable-mdpi/icon.png in each app to whatever you want
I use Icon Changer from the Play Store. Works well and you can use icon packs or "decorate" (as it says in the app) the stock icons. Hope this helps.

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
