Hi all,
Is there any way to change the icon for an app? The one in question is GO SMS... I don't like the green icon, ruins my blue theme!
I understand I may have to mess with the app itself, or install another app.. I don't mind really. I am quite technically minded but im new to android.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I think apex OR nova launcher and then you can use app Metrostation to color and icon

Pretty funny I'm doing exactly that nova prime with metro using ff00a2ff as opposed to ff33b5e5 ics

You can use Nova&Apex launcher. Long click on the app and than change click on the icon and choose the one u want to. This will only replace the desktop icon not the one in the launcher. replacing the drawer icon is a bit difficult. i hope i was able to help.

Have you tried the app Bettercut? With this app you can change the Name and Icon but only for your Homescreen

Install one:
APEX Launcher
NOVA Launcher
GO Launcher EX
ADW Launcher
Launcher Pro
They all allow different icon sets.

Then that requires editing of the launcher apk which can be found in /system/app/ its called touchwiz30launcher.apk
Give me the specific icon pack you'd like to use, and I can recompile it with the new icons and upload a flashable version for you.
(Assuming youre using a rooted rom and running the default tw launcher.)

Thanks, but i think that i dont say correctly (my english is no t perfect sorry) i would like for example, change de browser, for chrome, i want to move that icons (Phone, Messages, Browser). sorry for not be clear :/ i still need to practice my english
So you want the browser icon to be a chrome icon? Yes. Just tell him what icons you want. What color, what "pack". Do you want stock Jelly Bean Icons?

no the icon, i mean rearrange (i think thats the word ) instead of having stock browser there, put the chrome (no icon, i mean launch chrome instead of stock browser for example)
Long press on the icon and drag it. If I'm understanding you correctly.
Edit: I forgot that it was different in twlauncher.
1. Open app drawer
2. Menu -> edit
3. Drag chrome over top of the web icon, it should replace.
4. Hit back until you get to the home screen. (Home will undo your changes).

The little blue square in the bottom right that holds ALL your installed apps
OH, sorry for the misunderstanding man! The language barrier can be a pain sometimes, ahah.
Tyfighter gave you the answer though, should be squared. :]

How do i get the app drawer icon in touchwiz to be in the middle instead of at the right hand side?
Root - install xposed installer - framework - install icon themer module for xposed - choose an icon pack from playstore- open themer - apply icon pack theme!

I've been looking to do this myself, but I'm a bit freaked out to try doing so. Would you be willing to offer me the same thing?
I'm running Hyperdrive RLS6 on a Galaxy S4. I paid and downloaded the "Future Blue" icon pack and have been changing one icon at a time with the free Icon Changer, but it's a huge pain and extremely time consuming.
Go Apex!

Nope. If you want to change icons without rooting you'll need alternative launcher like Apex, ADW, GO or Nova (which I prefer the most). All of them are free (but you can buy full version with few features added). Check them out on Google Play.
Yes you can... Get Desktop Visualizer from Play store... And you can put your custom icons for anything......

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.
