Hi, I need help. I need to know how to put 2 apps inside the same app. Like Google maps, when is installed the navigation is installed to, into another app. Anyone know how to do this?
Regards.

Copy all Java classes to the other app. Then copy all resources files.
Afterwards add all new Activities to the Android Manifest. If you want one to be added to the app drawer, create a new intent-filter for it (or just copy the code from the other app's manifest).

You can specify the application icon in the manifest, too.
FD1999 said:
It's not just one app, for example you have two launcher activities, and you want separate icons for each activity. Is that really possible by defining it in the manifest? If so, please tell me how to do so

Yeah. You don't have to make two apps
While declaring the activities in the manifest, if you want two or more activities to appear in the app drawer, set both their attributes to android.category.LAUNCHER and android.category.MAIN
Their names too can be specified here

Yes I know that already but it seems like nobody understands me, I want two separate icons for each activity.
Activity 1 --> Icon:
Activity 2 --> Icon:
These icons which show up in the Launcher, in the app drawer
Hope you understand and can help me/Marco now

Is there a folder app which allows you to change folder icons and rename them ex. GAMES?

I'm not sure if there's an app for that, or a way to change the icons, but you can rename them. Just open the folder you created and hold down on the title bar that says "Folder". Now just type in your new folder name.

Those are forbidden words in the android community. This is NOT an iphone.
@OP: search the market for any cut or better cut. They allow creation/renaming of shortcuts to anything, as well as using custom icons... for folders as well.

You don't need any app to just change the folder name though.
I found Apps Organizer to work the best. You make a shortcut, name it, then scroll a list of your installed apps and check off which to add to it. After your done you can change the icon to a custom icon downloaded from a any free or paid icon pack. Best of all it's free!
How do you change the folder icon with any/bettercut? I haven't ever been able to figure that out. I thought I actually read once that it wasn't possible

i like desktop visualizer for changing icons/names (or in my case having no names)
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

Now, any idea where that default apps icon is stored? The white 16 square rectangle that Zeam, launcher and LP use? Is it in Framework-res? I can't find it in Zeam so think it is in the system somewhere. Thanks.

What launcher are you using? It is in the laucher. I use adwex, one of its features is the ability to change the icons....I change them all the time.

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.
Got it! Had a wierd name action_apps_grid or something like that. Thanks for the help. I have made my phone my own now...
I wanna ask that if my phone is normal?
In the original app drawer, I cannot build a folder. This makes my app drawer messy.
In the original launcher, the app drawer shortcut cannot be removed.
When I used Go Launcher EX (and other Launchers), I cannot add Music and Weather Clock Widget.
Last, there is no video player.
I dunno whether it is normal or not but this is not very user-friendly for me.

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).

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!

Can you show us some tips, for example, how to replace the stocked folder icon with another one? I'm eager for the tutorial ! Many THX.
The Nexus 7 is my first Android device and I am floored by how amazing and easy it is to customize it. I found a really nice clock widget and a Google Search widget I like on these forums. I downloaded both and they are in .uzip formats. What is the best way to get them onto the device to install them?
You should be able to import it directly from the app. Also check out the zipper widget app.

I got the clock working with UCCW. So, that's good now. But I have a Google Search Bar that is in .uzip format. But, I'm not sure which app I use for that.

It works fine for the clock. But, for the search bar it doesn't actually function like the clock does
I wish I could link to it so you know what I'm talking about. I need 10 posts.
can you describe what's not working? does uccw give you an error or does it load?
After installing some other uzips I've noticed uccw isn't exclusively for clocks. But its a Google search uzip but when I click it, it opens uccw instead of allowing me to search
