Have a question. I'm trying to customize the app drawer icon with one of my own icons I got on the web. I know I'm able to just drag other icons to the dock bar but how do I do it for the "box" drawer icon? Is this possible? I know launcher pro does ask this but adw runs better for me... Thanks.

Download the theme template and make your own theme:

Please be sure to share here. I'd love to see your work.
Really quick could someone tell me what I need to change icons on the home screen not the dock.
Thanks in advance.

Unpack the APK in question, replace the icon PNG, resign, install. -- Don't forget to uninstall the old.
You could also install a custom launcher and use a custom icon. -- Far easier.
Find a aftermarket launcher. Launcher pro, adw, are a couple of the good ones. Once you have these search the market for launcher themes. Most of these themes contain icon packs. Hope that points you in the right direction.

I already am using launcher pro but I haunt really been able to fine themes for it. I've seen a lot for adw but I really enjoy launcher pro.

Then change the shortcut icon. Make a custom shortcut and change the icon.
So, I've been searching all over xda to no avail, so I'm throwing this thread up to see if by chance anybody knows where to find what I'm looking for.
When I had my captivate, I ran setup for a while that was basically all black, and I used an icon pack that I found that was basically a ton of icons in the style of the launcher pro icons. I'm talking about the basic, frosted glass, very minimalistic style icons that launcher pro uses in their dock. However, it was a huge icon pack that had icons for many market applications. The icon set was also compatible with desktop visualizer.
Anybody know where I can find these?

Check custom launcher icons in the market. See if that is what yu're after.

Is it possible to change the icons in a rom? I bought a icon pack for my Playbook and was wondering if it is possible?.

You would not change them in a ROM. You would change them in the launcher. You can have custom Icons with GoLauncher. Other than that you have to read the launcher descriptions to see.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows of an app which can change the icons in the app drawer? I've tried many apps but all they do is change the home screen icons. Any help on how to do this would be very much appreciated.

This function may be possible by switching to a different launcher, but I do not know which launcher would be capable of doing this. Usually the images in the drawer are read directly from the apk, and the apps which change the icons on the home screen can get around this by making a widget with the specified icon, which points to the application.
If there are only a few applications you want changed, it is possible to change them the hard way, by extracting the apk, changing the icon in the "/res/drawable-?dpi" folder, and then installing the new application by hand. (It will no longer be signed, so you will have to go to allow this in Settings > Applications > Unknown sources)
I don't think any launchers are capable of changing app drawer icons. Looks like I may have to do it the hard way

Launcher pro can change app drawer icons,as can adw launcher. Just get an icon pack...or better still, make one. It's easier with launcher pro.

I'm using adw launcher and it can't change the icons. I have a really cool icon pack, and it changes the icons... but not all of them.. so everything doesn't match. On adw you can't manually change the icons of an individual app. I'll give launcher pro a go

Try LiveHome. With this launcher, you can manually change the icon and also label name of any app in appdrawer.
Cheers man. It won't recognise my icon pack though, but still, it's the first launcher I've seen that can change the app drawer icons

I finally posted in 2 forums last night, asking if anyone knew ANYway to, but still no answers at 1 &was told that only thing possible is there are some apps that change icons &let u change labels on Home screens only, at the other. I'm gonna try this right now. Thanks ALOT!!!

When i press long a Icon in the Drawer this comes direct on my Desktop, no Options , the Options are only at the Desktop!
Why ??
Nova launcher just got an update, now to change an app drawer icon (to a picture from gallery and hence a uzip, or from an apk) long press on the app icon in the draw. Drag it to the edit symbol. Click the app icon in the edit popup. Choose icon as desired!
