I've done my research can't find the answer. I like how you can use custom icons with launcher pro. I like the text look for icons. I dont like the launcher pro setup. I like how the original 7 screens are set up with 2.2 ota. Using launcher pro you can't get the widgets like on the original screens. I have each page set up the way i like and have found no way to do it using lp.
I would like to know if there is a way to replace the icons with the text in the original 2.2 ota. Is there an icon changer program that allows this?
How do you make custom icons?
All help appreciated. Thanks, Eric
I've used ADW and launcher pro both and they both have a custom shortcut option. I used it to change my messaging icon recently.

The best quick and easy way is adw, better home, LP etc. other than that. Pull every apk from your phone and edit its icon and push back.

I use the custom short cut option works great for my needs.
Its much easier to use something like LauncherPro. Its a great app and is completely customizable.
If you go with the LauncherPro method... check out the customizations and icons and what not here
Does anyone know how to edit or remove the Clockwidget on default 2.1 lockscreen???
I know its not in an APK, but I dont find any folder or etc where I can edit them.
i think its the digitalclock.apk?
No it isnt. I have delete them and the widget on lockscreen is still there.
there's an app called widgetlocker that replaces the lock screen and allows you to add your own widgets to it
I know widgetlocker. But I like the default lockscreen. Only I dont like the clockwidget on it.
Any ideas where it can be?

Nice find man!!
I wanted to do this too, and now I've done it....
Thanks!
Stock email app does not work for my work email, so I am using another third party email app. problem is the icon does not fit into my theme. The stock email app icon does. I could replace the icon in the app drawable but when I change theme it does not change with the theme.
So my question is, in the maifest file is there a way to point "android:icon" to some thing like "android.email.icon" instead of default @drawable/icon.png. I would appreciate any other suggestions if it is not possible.
You could decompile the app, and swap the icon.png file.
There is a good chance it will work.
Thanks for your reply. Your solution works for the current theme. But when I change the theme it still have the same icon. I want default email' s icon to splurge automatically to my app.

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

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!

i would like to ask if there is possibility to remove icon background of apps icon.
for easy understanding, please refer to the image below.
i would like to remove the white background on that facebook icon.
is there any possible way?
Im running 2.3.4 GB
Iphone 4s Clone (fruitphone?) Mtk6573
thanks!
this depends on where the background comes from. sometimes it's just an icon theme in the launcher. so you could just try to use a different theme or launcher.
but sometimes it's also in the rom. when there's no setting for themes/icons you have to search for a custom rom / mod with different icons or a setting to change them.
That's a launcher issue, to help make the iphone clone appear more like an iphone.
Just download a new launcher

You mean... if you install go launcher or adw or holo launcher, it doesn't give you an option to use that as the default?
The homescreen is a launcher, just the system launcher
