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.

Xposed installer with icon theme module located in Android forum/ themes and apps. I use it and it works great!

If you mean the one below its in system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and its called mainmenu_icon_application.
Grab a theme or rom that has this launcher included and unzip it with 7zip then go get it.
Is it possible to do that from my phone? Won't it tell me the apk is already installed? My computer is out of comission for a minute

Edit #2: got it just had to run the meddia scanner thanks for the help

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

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.

Hey guys, was trying to change my icons on Macks Rom 5.0, its running 4.1.2 Touchwiz but cannot find it in settings. I am used to Apex Launcher and you can change icons within the settings menu. How do you change icons on TouchWiz launcher? When icon packs are installed they dont show in the App list either. Any replys are appreciated. Thanks!

You need to install a theme that changes your whole entire phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/themes-apps if u go in that section you will see a couple of themes you can use. If I remember correctly the reason that u can't see them in app drawer is because u need a theme changer.
I am using Nova Launcher and Flatro icon pack, however my lockscreens icons are not themed. How can I apply the theme to them as well? Thank you!

The way i said above
