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.

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.

I don't think so, because the lockscreen is a sense feature so it uses stock icons, not go launcher themed icons.

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!

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 recently rooted and flashed liquid smooth onto my galaxy s3. Before I rooted it I had custom icons that took up the entire 1x1 grid on nova launcher prime. Now that I have flashed a custom rom my icons are a lot smaller. I'd like to know how to make the icons bigger that take up the whole 1x1 grid. Also when I go into the menu, whenever I press the icon size button, nova launcher immediately crashes. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
This picture I uploaded is how the icons look now.

You can change the icon size by going to nova settings/look and feel/ then icon size.
But as I've stated above it crashes on me every time. Would anyone know how to bypass this?

Did you restore nova via a back up? Glitches can develop in apps when restoring them to a new rom. It's best to reinstall and set up from scratch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Thanks for the quick reply! I did not restore from a back up because I forgot haha but I was successful in remaking the theme other than the icon size. I would reinstall nova launcher but when I go to the app store or app manager it doesn't give me the option to uninstall

LiquidSmooth comes with Nova as it's launcher. So to uninstall, you will need to install a different launcher as a temp, then using a root level file browser, delete the Nova Launcher apk file. Should be good to install it from Play store and continue from there.
Hello guys,i have installed the UltimaROM ROM on my phone and i love it , but the app list , the screen where the apps are is not transparent It shows a black background and not the wallpaper i have in my home screen.
How can i make it transparent?
Any help ? :/
You are probably using Trebuchet launcher which does not have that option. Go grab Nova or Apex. They are better and have what you are looking for + more

Then Sandman's advice still applies. If you want a transparent app drawer you'll need a custom launcher that supports it.
How does one load a launcher? Or a kernel? Same as flashing gapps?
Lol no. Its an app. Just go to the play store. Type in Nova Launcher. Click install then Open. (Or click Home button).
