Hey guys might be a noob question or not I have alot of png files and I wish to change some Icons within AOSP mainly the Alpha4 version. How would I go about changing some icons? Thanks!!
Do you mean Homescreen icons? Or menu Icons?
Homescreen
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
if I'm not mistaken, those are typically stored in one of the apks inside /system/framework, or within the apks of the apps themselves. but be careful editing them... you could easily give yourself a soft brick if you foul one up.

homscreen icons can be changes by simply using a third-party launcher like go launcher it awd.

I'm not interested in the minimalistic text widgets, just the bar on the bottom. Which launcher is it?
I'm thinking launcher pro. the icons are custom though.

Looks like LauncherPro from one of Myn's ROMs.

It's Myn Warm TwoPointTwo Themed launcher Pro
All you have to do is:
1. Open up your favorite grapics editor/creator
2. Make an image 480x185
3. Make it look however you want, with text or anything, spaced out keeping the 5 icons spacing in mind
4. Use it as your dock background (with ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro), and setup blank icon image files for the icons for the shortcuts
That's how I made this: http://i.imgur.com/qdI0G.jpg

Yeah I don't run it with the bar on the bottom, it was just a screenshot I had because someone wanted to see what it looked like. The bar on the bottom looks weird and trips me out too much to use.
Is there a way to change the 4 shortcuts on the lockscreen? You'd think there'd be a way to change them.

You have to be using Rosie as your launcher to do so. You go to personalize and then to the lockscreen option. Then from their you can click the tab one the bottom to replace the shortcuts. There ya go. You're welcome.

As they said: menu-personalize-lockscreen-settings-click the icon to change-click the icon to replace-apply settings.
Done.

Ok so the thing that's bonky is that I have a ROM that's striped of Sense except for a couple things. Therefore we can't alter the lockscreen through the "Personalize" menu.
Is there a way to either wipe all the shortcuts off of there, or alter it via other means?

Nope, you need the sense menus to do it.
I want to change the sony ericsson dialer and messaging icons etc. To custom png images. I tried several methods and it seems to technical for me. Edit apk wasn't working for me unless Im doing something wrong. Can somebody help me. Thanks
I would suggest using a different launcher - i know ADW launcher (free in the market) lets you modify shortcuts however you want

GO Launcher EX is also an alternative and it's free in Market.
I have the launchers I just want to remove the icons from the app drawers.

With ADW, you can create categories to sort apps into.
How is that done? I want just remove the icon pngs and replace with googles pngs in my app drawer

Hi Guys,
First time poster. I'm using Go Launcher Ex on an unrooted HTC Sensation. I have all my icons themed, but the four icons that show up for my lock screen are still set as the stock icons. Is there a way that I can change these using Go Launcher? Don't know if I could handle rooting.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
I don't think so, because the lockscreen is a sense feature so it uses stock icons, not go launcher themed icons.
Sent from my brain
you have to stick each go launcher icon inside each apk you want to change for instance if you have a phone icon replace it in the dialer apk it should be name dialer.png

But don't you need root to edit the stock dialer apk?

you have to change them while using the stock launcher. Clear the default from Go Launcher, press home, change your lockscreen, then set Go Launcher as your default.

You can't change the style of the icons though, can you? (I think that's what op was getting at)

Sorry, should have clarified. I don't need to change the function, just the look.

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.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
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!
