Sorry, I posted this in the General forum at first but got no responses. I think it's better suited here.
I searched high and low on xda and on google for a solution to this and couldn't find anything.
Has anyone else noticed that anycut and bettercut no longer work with the newest EVO update? I've been trying to create shortcuts and it will say Shortcut Created even though nothing was really created. Either that or it won't say anything at all.
Is there any other solution to creating your own icons on your phone? This was one of my favorite features and it pains me that it's gone because I'm developing my own phone icon set and I kind of NEED to have that ability to test how they look on the phone...
Are there any other apps that can do this with the new EVO update? Any alternate solutions?

You can change the icons in folder organizer. when you add a shortcut to the desktop, tell it to add a folder organizer item.

Is there any tool that can remove the app-name from the icon, and only use the icon? (on your homescreen)

Nope, those apps cant remove the icon name. You can only use a space as a name but wont look good, will just be a black-spot..
Any more ideas?

old advance launcher form irenhaus has an option to hide the text on desktop and to hide icon on tray. Pretty sure anderweb one does it too now.

It can be done by a simple xml edit in Rosie. I tried it at one time, but never released. I will take a quick look in the Rosie apk and post back when I find the name of the xml.
EDIT: It's in the values and values-normal folders. The files that needs editing are colors.xml and styles.xml. The places that needs editing are selfexplanatory, but basicly it's just a matter of setting the alpha value to opaque (00) in the places needed.
@sipvn: ADW Launcher? I'm currently using it, no option in settings for that :/
@tristan202: Thanks, I never gone that far learning how do edit rosie/apk's/xml's.. Any guides? I failed searching

.... yes of course, but, the folder icon not reflect the content in the folder. GoLanucher permits to create a "live icons" or a "widget"? that display the contents of folder. I'm looking for an app or widget that do the same thing.
And no, i don't install GoLaucher because is not smoot as ADWex (for me) .

I did search in the Market for 2 minutes. I tried it and think its a bit difficult but it looks to be the only one.
Folder organizer lite (or pro of course)

Why even bother manually creating folders and manually putting things in them and manually doing everything???
Just get Auto App Organizer, Its [email protected] sweet!
It will automatically organize all your apps into categories, These categories can be placed onto homescreen as folders with your choice of icon

Hello, is there a way to change the sense of connecting the launcher to the list of applications with any app that allows the creation of folders?
Thanks in advance
no one knows if there is such a thing?

You mean, to change the lower left button from opening the app drawer to something else? No, not by any customization you can do without re-coding something...
Sense has the possibility to create folders on one of the seven homescreens.
Or better, get an app organizer from the market and put your apps into the folders as you like...

I told you if you could change the link to some of the app drawer app that permatta creating folders, and anyway I have a cooked rom

Hi,
I've just installed the Android 4.3 cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20130909-UNOFFICIAL-crespo) on my Nexus S and everything is ok, but I don't have the "Google" icon. This is the icon from where you can launch the google applications like gmail, play, etc. Is it in the 4.3 at all? It is very useful for me and would like to use it.
Thanks,

Looks like you're talking about the folder on the homescreen with all the Google apps in it?
If so, you can make your own easily. Put one app on the homescreen. Then drag another app on top of it and it will magically become a folder. You can add a whole bunch of apps to the folder in the same way, rearrange them however you like, and change the name of the folder to whatever you want.

Did you ever figure this out... I know we can change the icons but only built in one's show up
If your rooted, you could use a file explorer app like root explorer to go into data/app and find your themes appicon folder. Inside you will see a base.apk. You can copy that base.apk onto your phone and extract it, or pull it onto your pc and extract it. Inside you will see a res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13 folder. The icons are in there. Save them in a folder on your phone and manually edit your icons in Nova on your homescreens and /or folders to replace icon.
I know it sounds like a bunch of work, but it really doesn't take that long. It's about the only way you can do it.
Here's what the folders for the themes look like in data/app.....

I've been trying to make a similar change. I'm using the Sense 7 Launcher and the only icon I have left is the "Apps" icon. I'd like to change it out with this icon.
I have looked in data/app/com.htc.launcher-1 and copy that base.apk to a different location on my phone. Opened the base.apk. Found res/drawable/all_apps_button_icon.xml
My question is what is the best way to convert my image to an .xml and replace the one in the base .apk so I can paste it back into the original location?
Ugg. I sure hope that made sense?

Yes, as long as all those steps are done in that order. It's okay, but yours are way better than I've seen in the HTC Themes store
Google+ in the blink feed is the only thing that isn't working yet for our phone

Thanks. My AnaKonda theme got released in the Sense themes about 3 weeks ago. I think it's in the others section. But those themes are pretty simple and don't really get into deep theming.
Sweet. I hope it gets lots of hits. Can you see how many downloads it has?
