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

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

You could do this with either ADW Launcher or LauncherPro with some text based icons and you could probably make the clock/date with Minimalistic Text Widget.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thats launcher pro. with a custom dock, and the text icons, all of which you can find over at the launcherpro forums. http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=b0cec58ec5af26bd7c5fc02540519fd7
i know that clock widget, but can't remember the name.
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

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.

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.

For a full change decompile framework.res or systemui.apk one of these 2 change icons recompile sign and reinstall

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.
Hi guys,
There is any way to change the default blue color and icons of my android 4.1.2 (XT890) without install any launcher? And, if I install a launcher, this run at the same time with the default one? I mean, are both open and running consuming ram and cpu?
Cheers.!

Thanks for response!
If you're rooted then you can copy the app to the PC and open the apk with 7zip.
From there just change the default icon with the one you want and put it back into the apps folder.
This worked with my old phones. Haven't tried it yet with the RAZR. Instead I use nova launcher and deleted the moto launcher.
