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?

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
I have a rooted galaxy s4, and I use Nova launcher pro. I have a theme that I really like, and when I go set my wallpaper, I can choose wallpapers from my themes. The theme I use is by Kovdev, all his work is awesome.
However, that's only the homescreen, I cannot for the life of me find a way to set a wallpaper that comes with a theme as my lockscreen. I know there must be something easy that I'm just missing
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Go to settings, my device, display, then wallpaper and you should be good to go bro

Wrong section...
Evil UN Wizzed Abuser...The Boss!
because usually the wallpaper you see in theme screenshots dont come with the theme. they are the authors personal wallpapers. there are exceptions, but not many
No.. What I'm saying is the theme comes with those wallpapers, when I just change the homescreen by long pressing and hitting wallpaper, I can choose from the theme. But I have no option for the lockscreen when I do that

Change wall paper on lock screen is the default TW launcher option.
you can do it from the stock launcher (don't know if wallpaper from Nova launcher will show up or not). If that's the case just save the wall paper to your gallery and chose from there. After you're done you can set Nova as default launcher again.
Use a root explorer and find the theme .apk in /data/app. Copy and paste the .apk somewhere else on your phone, unzip the .apk, find the folder the houses the wallpaper and pull out the wallpaper you want

Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.
On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Not with Nova Launcher
Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?
I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies
The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.
I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

I just found a trick that worked for me, set nova's icon size to 85% in nova settings and the stock icons come back to life
Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible

Install Unicon (I think its now called Icon Themer)
Install Icon pack of your choice (I'd suggest Belle UI)
Apply icon pack in Unicon
Enjoy

unable to get the dynamic icon working using xposed, unicorn and belle ui.
another option was to use nova launcher which supports dynamic icons.
was wondering if there is some way to port this feature to touchwiz without having to use 3rd party launchers or xposed...

Dynamic icons are not launcher dependent.

Latest version of Nova Launcher supports dynamic icons and it works just fine, was trying to get it working on Touchwiz (without using Xposed)
