Is there a way to change the default icons of the stock apps both in home and the drawer? I believe there are different versions of the icons e.g. the US version has a black camera icon unlike the int'l which has a cream colored camera. Also a way to change the enlarged icons, you know when you press and hold the icon on homescreen and edit the icon and tap the ++ to make it big?
TIA!

Need to replace the png which is in res/xhdpi or res/mipmap xhdpi. It's usually named ic_launcher_something. Png.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a blank space on the dock instead of the plus sign? Or instead be able to make an icon on the dock shift home screens? Lastly is there a way to make the ADW stop scaling the icons on the dock, i understand that you can control the size but most of the time with custom icons it does not scale but instead shift the icon higher up on the dock.

Blank space on the dock:
Hold the +.
Change Shortcut
Blank
As for switching homescreens:
Hold the +.
Change shortcut.
Homescreens
Previous/Next Screen
As for the shift:
If you find out, let me know. lol
The only way to get the next/previous screen buttons on ADW Ex is to use the three icon dock instead of five.

Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling
Is it possible to replace the button icons with different images? For example depending on the theme you have the Mms icon is different. How can I chose just the icon I want out of the them instead of the whole theme?

This thread has a bunch of icon packs you can download and it also tells you how to change the icons on your homescreen, dock and Appdrawer.
Hope this helps.
Which button(s) are you referring too? If it's on the home screen or dock it's fairly simple when using Go Launcher EX.
Simply long press the icon , wait for the pop-up menu, choose replace and you'll have the option to select Default icon, Theme's Icon or Custom icon.
If it's in the app drawer then it's a little harder as the icons are set within the theme package itself and as far as I know there is no way to change just one icon from here on the fly.
Thanks g4me0v3r.
So this is the concept:
Instead of having a wallpaper with custom Icons, you have a custom wallpaper with the icons designed on the wallpaper itself and the icons set to an invisible icon (Simply save an icon with "Simple Text-Text Icon Creator" without any text). This way you can design complex wallpapers with shapes that have the functions in the painting itself.
Just an idea that came to mind recently, you still have to drop the icons on the correct grid part though. You can change the icon using Apex or Nova launcher.
All the best

I have an invisible folder with my most used apps on the left and the gallery at the top. You can also name the folders with a space so only a panel comes up.
At the bottom are phone, messages, app grid and two apps.
Hi guys,
I've been playing around with creating my own icons for use in Nova Launcher. When I want to change an app icon into my own custom icon via Nova Launcher's edit function, the icon I've created comes with a black background. In Photoshop, the icon appears to have a transparent background...so why is Nova Launcher adding this black background?

Did you save it as a png file?

Yeah, I was saving it as a PNG file, but I found a workaround. I was previously accessing my icons through Root Explorer, but when I selected them through Gallery, the black background disappeared.
