Is there an App or widget that would allow me to remove icon labels/names?
Haven't rooted yet so just running a stock Rom.
you can use desktop visualizer and keep shortcuts of your desired apps on the homescreen and you can remove the labels/names .....
In 3rd party launchers like ADW and Launcher Pro the option to hide app labels is there.
But if you really want to keep stock launcher I guess you could use Desktop. Visualizer to add a shortcut to the app and clear the label then use the icon from that app but it comes out a bit stretched out, unless you have custom icons in a higher resolution.

Bettercut will do that for you too.
GO Launcher EX has this option as well.

Thanks for the replies.
Go Launcher works perfectly.
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

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

Thanks ALOT. Ive been looking for a few days to find a way to change labels in the app drawer. I could find ways to password lock certain ones, but nothing to change the labels. 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!

dear all,
i want to change my application name & icon without affecting there update if anyone can guide it me
You can download holo launcher or any custom launcher . They enable you to edit names of the apps.
In the attached pic is the holo launcher. Long tap on the app you want to rename.

beautiful icon styler (find it on play store)
this app can use custom icon packs on a stock launcher...
i tried the free version with dcikonz icon pack and it worked (sort of) - it changed the icons on the desktop although i think you'll need the full version of the app for icons to change in the app drawer as well...
nevertheless - this is a good step up

that's why i stated that i don't know how things are considering full version and app drawer...
personally - i don't care about app drawer if the desktop looks fine (that's why i use nova launcher, not the stock one)

REMEMBER. This is for those that want to keep stock launcher. This doesn't replace your launcher like nova. So I want to keep my blinkfeed but have different icons this is what I need. And who cares about drawer icons lol. U spend the time on your home screen. Wow.

I dont understand why this app change all incon except the appdrawer one ( not the icons in app-drawer, but the appdrawer icon itself in home, the one with dots..)
I have rooted my device, Nexus 5, and I want to change my icons but keep my default launcher. I found Unicon but as far as I can see it can apply icon packs but not change icons one by one. Is there any application that can do it?
Try icon changer by junyeong its free! This is the app youve definitely need for! You can decorate the app's icon... or you can use junyeong's icon package for icon changer! Or you can use other launcher's icon pack!
PS: it only decorates or customize the app icon on the home screen. It does not change app icon in the app drawer ..
