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.

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

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.

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!!!

Can it? Without using a Launcher?

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!

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.

Is there any app that can be used to change individual icons within the app drawer (not the home screen). I should be able to change the individual app icons for my own liking. For instance within Apex u can change icons by long clicking on the app n choosing an icon, so I want the same functionality within the app drawer
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
A theme would do this, wouldn't it (which Apex supports) ?
It'll change icons like sms and Gmail like most app packs do. But not all apps are supported so you'll have some themed icons and some non themed in your drawer. I'm looking for something that's able to apply different icons to apps in the drawer too.
Sent from my Nexus 7
So the app I would need is one that would b able to change the non-themed icons...u may say tht the particular theme doesn't support sm icons bt if u look within the icon pack u will find tht the custom themes do exist but they haven't been changed within the app drawer

Here it is
Download the attachment app below or View its Detail
** HOW TO USE **

2. Choose application or activity to change icons
3. Choose an image from gallery / icon package
4. Icon will be changed!!!! :good: :fingers-crossed:
Cheers ! Cheers !
but don't forget to hit the sexy "Thanks" button below.
After icon packs have been loaded in your launcher ADW/APEX/HOLO/LIVEHOME there will be some apps that have not been supported.
There will be some themed icons and some unthemed icons in the app drawer.
You can apply a custom icon to any app on the home screen.
Icon changer only seems to change the icon for display on the home screen not the drawer
We are looking for an app that will ALSO change the app icon in the drawer.
I don't want to have to decompile each apk and change the icon manually. Is there an app or process that you will allow me to change apply icons for the home screen AND the drawer?
I have seen a lot of apps with inverse or custom coloring is there any way to do this easily? For example I use yahoo mail and have not updated to the new app because I do not like the purple icon and in app purple Color, can I change this?
Inverting if hard from what I have read. You can always download an icon pack and if you're using the touchwiz launcher, download desktop visualizer and change the icons.
