How do you change all your app icons when you download a icon pack?
Or do you have to manually use desktop visuallizer for every

If the launcher supports it, you just select the icon theme. ADW EX, for example, will accept most packs. As will Launcher Pro. Not sure about the ICS-based launchers though.
It works with apex, long press an icon and then edit, and press on the icon to change it

The same with Nova launcher.

What if the launcher does not support it, such as Zeam launcher? Is there a app for it?

Some ROM's support changing icons via theme e.g. Rosie themes for sense based ROM's or themes for CM9. These icons are gets applied system wide irrespective of launcher you are using. You can even create one suiting to your needs.

Is it possible to change app icons? I'm using Launcher Pro/TW Launcher and the Sony Ericsson skinned apps (Phone/Messaging/Email) don't match at all.

the homescreen icons can be changed easly using Desktop Visualiser, if you want to change the app draw icons, use GO Launcher is has soooooo many themes out now

I tried it but it doesn't change the actual app icon.
Go Launcher is SOOOOOO laggy. I tried to like it,deleted it and tried it again after a few weeks. Still laggy. Laggier than ADW.
So far LauncherPro and TWLauncher are the snappiest launchers.
Is it possible to flash a launcher to be the default launcher? (Looking at AOSP Laucher - (I'm looking to get a launcher of that style not necessarily that launcher)). I currently have that launcher but it is not "default" to me in a sense that it shows up as a task. If it is possible to flash a launcher, how may I do it?
I am more concerned about getting the style of bar on the bottom home screen so that I can also use it in landscape mode (Andromeda 3)
Thank-you for your patience and understanding, I'm a noob!
App adw launcher on market place should be able to do all that, it'll give you the option to make default.

You can flash a launcher, but you don't have to.
Launcher can be installed like any other app and set as default.
A launcher is installed just like any other APK not flashed. ADW EX is a great launcher. I personally prefer LauncherPro, there is a paid version and free version. For an easy way to switch between the launchers, you can download an app called Home Switcher which will allow you switch launchers from the app drawer. You can find it in the Market. Another great launcher would be GOLauncherEX which has a ton of skins and modifications.
Ahh thanks guys. I found a rom serendipity seven. It has my favorite launcher so I'm good to go!
Sincerely,
Your Noob.

Hello everybody.
It's possible to hide an icon on iCS ? (Menu Launcher)
Software ?
Thanks.
Not possible without modding the launcher. There are launchers that have the app hiding feature though. Give GO Launcher EX a try.

No, but I've been loving ADW Ex with ICS. TeslaCoil's Nova Launcher is a modded ICS launcher and may provide the function you're seeking.
That app is in the themes and apps forum.
Hello,
I rooted my nexus s and was wondering how do I change the Icons on them? Do I have to download a ROM for a custom theme? Also I downloaded a icon package which I really like, was wondering if its possible to use them?
adw ex launcher lets you change your icons
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
Use a launcher that allows you to change the icons. If you're on ICS, use Nova Launcher. If not, ADW, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher all let you customize icons.
Keep in mind though, that for apps the icons are only changed in the homescreen, but not in the drawer.
That is true for all except GO!Launcher. It changes app icons in App Drawer. Otherwise you're right those are all great options. You can however change the icon in a system folder somehow... I've seen a tutorial on the forums somewhere, but it takes work.

I recently downloaded ADW launcher using the flux theme. Not bad but I'm thinking of going back to stock launcher but would like to keep the fluxed icons. Is this possible?

i am not sure if it is possible with the regular ADW but i know in ADW EX that you if you go into the theme setting of ADW that you can set the theme to stock, and then you can just change the icons. If you need me to screen shot what i am talking about i can do that for you.
I think the OP wants the icon pack separate from ADW so they can use them in the stock launcher. In that case, I'm not aware of the icon pack's location. I've often wondered this myself. There are apps that will change any icon for any app on screen. Just need access to the icons.

Oh haha. I am sure that he could use an icon pack from the android section and use desktop visualizer to apply the icons. But that does take A LOT of time to do. But if you do use the icon packs from the android section, there are a lot of options too. Like a lot of options.
i think you can try to do it,maybe it sucess
I have adw ex but prefer go launcher. Can have certain themes with different icons, if that is what you are after.
