GO Launcher EX is also an alternative and it's free in Market.

With ADW, you can create categories to sort apps into.

OK, I give up...............
How do I change DOCK icons in the Sony Ericsson launcher on Captivate.......I trying to avoid doing "firmware" mods.....Something on the screen, I'm missing?
It looks like it cannot be done, but then what do I know
Open the app drawer, press the settings soft key and go to options or edit I believe. You should be able to drag and drop new icons.

Hold the dock icon you want to change and then drag to trash bin. Then go to app drawer and hold the icon and drag to the dock.
Hope this helps

Is there a way to make the ICS green message icon open GO SMS instead of the stock app? I like the icon cause it flows with the homescreen, and the go sms one is ugly haha. Just wondering if theres a way to keep the stock sms icon but re route to open go sms? i dont really want to install a home launcher either.
Just edit the icon. Get Gosms apk and replace the icon.

Thank you!
This is also can be set if Android detects multiple SMS apps, will ask you to set default.

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

You can use go launcher which has option to change icons.. All U need is an icon pack..

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

Thanks ALOT. Ive been looking for a few days to find a way to change labels in the app drawer. I could find ways to password lock certain ones, but nothing to change the labels. 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!

dear all,
i want to change my application name & icon without affecting there update if anyone can guide it me
You can download holo launcher or any custom launcher . They enable you to edit names of the apps.
In the attached pic is the holo launcher. Long tap on the app you want to rename.
