I have a question about changing the icons of my applications within the app drawer. I've noticed there is an application called APK Edit... but I was wondering if it will work if I'm running Liberty 1.0 on Droid X?
I'm still learning so please only positive responses. Thanks
nvm: found how to do it myself.

Thats the HTC widget. That will only work on a Sense ROM and if you are using the Sense Launcher (no ADW or Launcher Pro ect). If you are running one it should be included. The closest thing would be Beautiful Widgets that you can get in the market. There is(or was) another one in the market that is an exact clone but Im sure it wont be long before HTC shuts them down if they havent already.
o i c and i do have ADW launcher. thanks for your respond and i will look for that beautiful widget.
I think the closest replacement to the Htc Clock/Weather Widget is called Weather & Toggle Widget in the Market - I really like it a lot.
Or Fancy Widget which looks just like it, but you will need to surf the internet to dig it out. Since it was taken off the market place, or at least I dont see it no the market anymore.
hey guys, im setting up a simplistic theme of sorts on my inspire 4g. and i have a few questions.(Sorry if theyre a bit noob)
I like to keep one folder of my most commonly used apps on the homescreen. Im looking for a way to launch said folder from the dock in launcher pro. I think i should be able to do this by setting an activity, but cant seem to find the right one.
Does anyone know how to do this? If not can anyone recomend a folder application that allows for custom icons? or even a way to launch a folder from extended controls?
also, are there any better/more simplistic widgets styles for pandora?
and one more, i like being able to see mobile and wifi signal strength through elixer, is there anything that does this in a black icon style?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I took a shortcut on this, the app simi folder allows a folder to be added to the launcher pro dock, works for me

Hi everyone,
I'm new to xda although have been reading along for quite some time but finally have a question that is bugging me enough that I want to ask.
I had been using the Cobalt CM9/AOKP Theme by dustinb on the Play Store for awhile and liked the tweaked icons it used for many common applications. Now, after starting to use the Nova launcher, I noticed that the theme still works for most of my phone but it does not change the icons anymore.
I saw that the Nova launcher actually has a setting that allows the icon set to be changed but nothing shows up for Cobalt there. Does anyone know if there is a way to force Nova to use the Cobalt icons or if there is a way to separate out the Cobalt icon set from the Cobalt theme and format it so that it can be selected in the Nova icon set setting dialog.
From everything I have read, there doesn't seem to be a way to easily change an individual application's icon like the .desktop file used in Linux.
I just found that the icons do change after reboot. Sorry for posting a question before trying everything. I didn't even think of rebooting since the rest of the theme worked right away and the icons used to change without reboot on CM9 and the standard Trebuchet launcher.
Thanks,
Boz

Hello all,
New Galaxy S2 user here. Coming from a line of exclusively HTC Sense phones and ROMs.
I'm wondering if it's possible (and easy) to change the icons for default apps in CM9 or TW based ROMs? Specifically the "Messaging" icon - I hate the "smiley" face. Makes me feel 12 years old again.
I've done a few searches, but I'm not looking to replace the entire icon set or the ROM or theme... just one icon.

Are you talking about the app mms icon or the emoticon pack from what sound like it's the mms icon

The hard way is to download the apk, open it up, replace the images with the ones you want, repackage it, and reinstall it. The easy way is to use a launcher that allows you to change the icon. I know Apex and Nova do, not sure about any others.

Also check out "Desktop Visualizer" in the market .
But as already mentioned ....the different launchers are the best & easiest way.
Holo launcher is another one.
Good Luck.

Go Launcher as well. Go, Nova, and Apex have the ability to use icon sets made for each other.
Hmmm... going to an entirely different launcher seems like overkill, but I guess if it works...
There used to be apps on the Market that would allow you to create shortcuts with different icons (BetterCut comes to mind, but the dev pulled it from the Market entirely).
If you don't want a new launcher, try Desktop Visualizer (though I have yet to figure out how to get it to use an existing icon pack). There are a lot of options in it and it's a great program.
I would really enjoy being able to use this widget. I had extracted the apk file, (along with the 3x2 weather clock), and eventually got them installed in the system/app/ folder, but the widgets aren't present.
Perhaps someone would have a way to convert these to work on the M8? I'm mainly just looking to get the App & Shortcut widget, but the weather clock would be a nice bonus.
Thank you!
[EDIT]
I went over to the HTC One threads and found some apks and tried them. I got the app to appear in my app drawer but when I go to add it to my screen, but it just crashes. I have it installed as a system app and set the correct permissions. I'm guessing the apks just need some modification for Sense 6 since they were set for Sense 5. Any help with this would be amazing.
UPDATE:
I have extracted an apk that ALMOST works. I can add the widget to a screen, but it force closes when I try to assign an app to it.
I have included the apk, so any help would be great.
I pulled the apk from the Verizon M7 NuSenseSIX rom, so props and thanks to those developers.
