Hi,
I saw some nice home screen design of Nexus 7, and it has modified app's icon.
How do you do that using the stock launcher?
Or is it not possible?
I remember that we can use "Desktop Visualizer" for example, but it is not compatible with Nexus 7.
The icon, that I got from the "Metro Station" is enlarged (see attachment, the one in the home screen).
My Nexus 7 is rooted if that can help.
But, I don't want to use other launcher
Thanks.
Unfortunately on the stock launcher you cannot change the icons or use any icon packs. If you want to, it would require the use of a launcher. I use stock but when I feel like changing it up a bit, I use nova prime. Performance is not effected at all. Its worth a try.

Please see the screen shot attachment in the first post.
I don't think it detects the Nexus 7 resolution and dpi properly.
Fyi, my launcher and all settings are still stock. No hack, no dpi change.

I use Metro Station for my icons. Apex launcher let's you change the icons and they look perfect... Well actually the Metro Station ones are a bit low res.

Just use any other Launcher and you can change any icon to any .png file you find online or in an icon pack. Or use a good photo editor and make your own.

You don't need to use another launcher. You just need to root and change the .png files.

Here you go its a zip of RazrHD keys and white glow all customizable via rom navi settings. It has the glow but jus disable via rom. Or pull out before making zip. I have only tested zip via Zip Themer app. You can do it manually if u choose.
Jus in case ur not familiar with app.
Download/open app)settings/update edify to current rom zip)theme/choose soft key zip)build/always make undo...enjoi use at own risk. but have tested with this method on all vanir roms and many others and ALWAYS works.

Yup ... Def takes care of thing like this and is very easy to use wit aligning zips.
Go to play store and type in zip themer and follow directions from link post and you'll be 100. Sorry for confusion. U could also do it manually by extracting PNG files. But I def like using the app.

thanks and sorry for being a noob
OK
1) open app/ hit 3dot/settings
2)update edify
3)hit browse
4)find and choose the edify.zip and or your Rom zip
5)hit configure
6)should say success/ hit back
7)hit theme/
8)press green arrow and choose SOFTKEY. zip
If u have multiple mods u want added after the first one hit theme + again and choose 2nd zip
9)press build/ always make undo(to go back when ever you want)wait til done
10)reboot recovery and look for SOFTKEY/LOCK ICON update zip and flash...DONE / REBOOT
There will also be a undo zip for later use.
Really hope this helps. This will work for 99% of mods so long as u update edify for each ROM.

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.

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.

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

I figured out how to change the icons to what ever you want with the stock launcher.
And how to get more icons to choose from..
1.download "Icon finder plus.." from the PLAYSTORE it's for downloading icons their is a ton to choose from..
2.download all the icons you want. With icon finder,.
3.use a file browser IE root explorer, to copy the folder that the icons you downloaded are in its labeled" icon finder plus" copy that folder to your camera folder DCIM.
4. When you touch and hold a icon then let go the edit icon brush will appear on the icon touch it .That brings you to the icon selector folder.. here you can select one of the system standard icons. Or
" create photo icon" and select your downloaded icon folder and choose your desired icon crop then ok.

Hmm,
I tried this (following the steps listed in post #1).... After I get to the point where I can "create a photo icon" (step #4), I choose the icon I want from my gallery and nothing happens when I touch it, so I touch it again and it goes back to the previous screen (stock icons) and nothing has changed??
I've tried changing the following icons FB, Chrome, YouTube, music player, and message icons (stock and ChompSMS).
Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else ran into this?
I'm rooted if that makes a difference?

After you touch and hold the icon,then touch the brush, select create photo icon, then select from gallery, then select the folder with your icons in it. When you select the new icon it should go to a crop screen with your new icon on it, you should be able to crop your new icon then hit ok and it should apply...

If you're rooted and really looking to change it, you can add your own manually by copying LGHome3a.apk from your system/app folder to your PC, and replacing the icons yourself. You'll find them in the drawable-hdmi and the drawable-xxhdpi folders by browsing the apk with an archive program. They are named variants of lg_dockmenu_ic_allapps.png.
I was able to replace them without without a problem. I opened pngs in photoshop and pasted over my own icons, saved them, replaced them in the archive, and replaced the original LGHome3a.apk with the modified version.
If you are not rooted then :silly: you probs cannot. But the stock LG launcher is just too nice to change.

I'm pretty sure vivid pack is just for aftermarket launchers. But I'll look into it and see if I can figure out a way to apply them to stock launcher.

Ahh thank you, that would be great. I know I can use an icon changer app to change them, but I have to change each one individually to do. I'd rather try to apply all of them as a whole.
