Change an app icon - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi, is there a way to change an app icon whitout the use of a launcher (I tried them but none worked) ? I want to change the Google Chrome icon to this one ( https://imgur.com/a/uSzmlWU )Thanks

Not without changing all of the icons from the theme store, or installing a 3rd party launcher, unless you're rooted

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

[Q] Changing the App draw icon on homescreen (stock Launcher)

As questioned, is there away to remove or change the app draw icon on the homescreen on stock launcher, i was hoping tweakbox would have an option to remove/change this.
I know i could use visualizer and make another one - but thats no use when the icons still there
I prefer a 3rd party launcher, but when using the Home launcher I use ThemeX to extract icons and/or wallpapers from my apex/Nova themes and icon zip files.
I've found some LG home themes with app drawer icons I could stomach and would apply it and then change my other icons. Not a solution, just sharing.
Is that an iPhone 6 ?......."LMFAO!!!!"… said my G3
Yea i usually use a 3rd party launcher, namely Holo - but i noticed it runs like poo on the G3 - stock was far better.
However i tried Nova today - much MUCH better, ill be sticking with that for a while, its much faster than stock for me anyways.
and i can ditch that icon
I also was wondering how to change some icons out with the stock launcher. I don't want to lose the knock knock on/off functionality, so I'd prefer not to switch launchers.

Do I lose anything else by switching from the stock launcher?
I think the stock weather, But you can switch back to the stock launcher back and forward.

if you use xposed you can use unicon to change the icons with stock launcher and you dont lose knock on/off.
the unicon beta which works without problems on my d855 can you get from here... you have to join the unicon g+ community and beta program on google play, then you can download the unicon beta but the procedure how to get the beta is there explained
Awesome, I'll check that out, thanks!

[Q] stock launcher with icon pack

is there any way that i can change the icons on the stock launcher to an icon pack downloaded from the play store?
and i dont mean the manual way like changing one icon per time. im searching for something automatic and without unicon since xposed isnt working.
*AND YES I HAVE ROOT*
I'm also looking forward for that.... I like the stock launcher for it's features, and the design is not bad at all, but those square icons makes me switching back and for between it and Nova...

[Q] guide to hide default app drawer icon in dock on CM11

hoi board
i searched the board but failed to find an answer to my question:
how to hide the default app drawer icon from CM11 trebuchet laucher.
i have a replacement app drawer installed on my S4M and want
to hide the default app drawer of trebuchets without installing
any other launcher!
can i somwhere 'hack' a setting file to hide the default icon?
so i am looking into a ressource-hack or so in particular,
and not an other launcher!
consider that before posting answers
like: yeah, use nova it is the best of all an can do that.
nova or others cant!
they replace the whole launcher and they can be customized
to not show a dock and/or a drawer-icon.
i want to stay on CM11 trebuchet!

Changing what app opens with standard icons?

So I'm trying really hard to not install a third party launcher since there are so many more customizing options than we've ever had before. But I do have third party messaging apps. The trouble is, all the cool new icons don't all have specific ones for the apps I'm using. So is there a way to change what app is linked to an icon? For example, can I make the messaging icon link to my texting app instead of the stick messaging app? I realize I can do this in the freestyle mode, but would like to do it with the dock icons in my current setup. Thanks!
It I unterstand you the right way, look for Flipster Xposed mod.
But it will not work with the"allapps"dockicon
