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.

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.

No luck on getting the icon packs to work but check this link out. This dev makes LG stock launcher themes. They all work with the stock launcher and are pretty great.

I searched, with no luck, I looked through my phone and tried EVERY single folder.. Well almost all folders.. Dropping the icon I want in and then going to custom icons and it only shows me camera stuff..
So where do I put the file/icon so when I click custom Icon it will direct me to that?
THANKS!

I'm not sure I know what you are asking or what the issue is, but I keep all of my icons in my dropbox account and they are always available in my gallery when I make changes to LPP. Also, it makes it easy to grab new icons on my pc and have them on my EVO dropbox.
Hope that helps.

Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I have had a problem with custom icons being resized (too small) when using them in the dock. If you replace the native launcherpro icons within the apk they look much better imo. The icons are in res/drawable-hdpi.
Just rename the icon you want to use to one of the built in icons in launcherpro and it will show up in the native launchepro icon list.
OK I have 10 custom icons.. I hold down a button in the dock and click change icon, then custom icon.. it shows me locations for my pictures.. how do I point it to where the icons are which are on the scard

Do you see the icons at all? The icons should show up just like the pictures. Do you see the icons when you just go into the gallery? You may need to use something like sdmount to scan the sdcard again.

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

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.

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.

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).

Go to the play store. There are different options for using other than stock icons even if it boils down to just using a different launcher.

You could always get elesbb's APK Tool GUI to decompile an icon pack .apk from the Play Store. After you decompile you'll have a few folders with all of the icon .png files for the icons. You can pull them from there and stick them on your SD card to select them from your gallery. It'd be a bit of leg work, but it might be worth it to you.
I wanted to switch my bottom buttons to the familiar HTC order, "Home, Menu, Back" but LG does not offer this option. While finding a solution, I found a pretty cool program that most probably already know about, but some might not. It allows you to do what I needed to do, plus much more.
CREDIT: First and foremost, all credit goes to rovo89 and his thread located here. Be sure to send him "thanks."
Step 1: Goto the Google Play Store and download, "G2 Xposed" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.xposedlgg2).
Step 2: Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it.
Step 3: Launch the Xposed Installer.
Step 4: Go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update."
Step 5: Reboot
Step 6: Launch the Xposed Installer again and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet).
Step 7: Enable the LG G2 module by checking the checkbox.
Step 8: Reboot.
Step 9: Enjoy.
Works great! I've been hearing a lot about xposed but never knew where to find it or if it would work properly with the ls980. Thanks a bunch! I finally have my recents key again!
