is it possible to have folders on your homescreen like the iphone does? instead of having a plain boring folder icon, can we have an icon that shows all the icons inside of the folder?
I use Apps Organizer. Doesn't do exactly what u want, but does provide u with the ability to select ur own icon. Perhaps look into Folder Organizer. Seems like I have seen a screenshot showing what u r describing. Both of these apps are available in the market.

yeah just got folder orginizer, does pretty good
Try with SIMI Folder its great
Go launcher has this feature in app drawer though, not sure if this feature is available in homescreen...
I'm looking for a widget that will let me put multiple icons on it and scroll through them. Pretty much exactly like the ADW launcher dockbar but full-size icons and can be placed anywhere.

Launch-x pro or free. the pro is $.99 and has more options. check out the free one first
Ok so you know how you can add a folder to your main screens, and then put other app icons in there. Well the folder is a stock manilla folder and i was wondering how we can change that icon to a folder icon of my choice. If anyone know how please let me know. Thanks
I know it's possible with ADW Ex, I'm not sure about other home replacement apps, but I don't think LauncherPro allows this.
You can also use something like Simi Folder or Folder Organizer to premake folders with custom icons and then add them to your homescreen as a widget or shortcut.

ok cool thanks ill have to give that a try
Launcher Pro Plus allows it, I don't know if the free version does. Go Launcher allows it too.
Folder Organizer lite is wonderful. App Organizer too.

And what about ES? Can it change icons?
Is there a way I can change an apps icon with a theme manger type program on my phone?

some ROM's allow you to hold down an icon to change it with icons pre-installed on your SD Card.
Some icon themes can be installed through apps like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
Its nice using Launcher Pro. It can install Icon Packs on the fly.
Yeah I'm familiar with launcher pro and adw themes and stuff but I want to modify icons on my htc with the sense launcher?

Try Folder Organizer lite on the Android Market.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite
In the apps section, it allows you to change the icon for all apps. In order for the icon to show up on the home screen as modified, you need to add the app as a "Folder Organizer item" widget.

Using folder organized worked! Good enough for now. Now just got to figure out how to get that icon on my sense 3.0 lockscreen instead of using the stock application icon it makes me use.

Desktop Visualizer does exactlly what your asking...
You choose what apk you want launched...
Then you choose a img file you want to be displayed for that apk file
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

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!
