I know I need root access in order to get into the system but once I do, what are the steps to get all the apps icons changed? I know Nova Launcher just updated their app and I can use custom icons with that, but I wanna keep 'ok Google' function as well.

Hello,
For me Google Play Launcher is the most smooth launcher for 4.4.2 on my phone.
I've used Nova Launcher, and Apex, but I love swipe to left for Google.
But I've gotten tired of stock icons..
I'm running art, and I change my icons using desktop visualizer, so no problem..
What do I want to know is where the app drawer icon is located.. I know I have to manually change it, no problem I've done it before, on TouchWiz..
So my question for you is, dose anybody knows where the app drawer icon is located?
Thanks.
It's in Google Search in /data/app/
If you have other questions talk to @Pain-N-Panic
I couldnt find the next options:
- Spotify Lockscreen background (album picture)
- Lockscreen Background - Live Weather - should have option for set up the downloadable number of pictures per day
- Unlocked/Not mobile carried ROM has no automatic ABC list in menu and you have only manual "edit" option
...or "user error"?
With the ABC menu, I assume you mean the app menu in the touchwizz launcher? If so, the only way I've found so far is to root your phone and then modify a CSC file. The easiest way for that is to download the CSC modifier app my wanam from Play store (after rooting) and search for "alphabet", find the appropriate setting, and set it to "TRUE", and reboot. But like I said, it involves rooting, and all the associated risks of doing so.
For the others you mention, I have no advice I'm afraid.
Thanks for the advice!
Yes, I mean app menu in the TW launcher. But its not such an important setting to modify and root my phone. Anyway, I would appreciate a future update from Samsung.
I liked the fullscreen album art on the lockscreen when I had kitkat on the S4, when it went to lollipop it stopped doing it. I don't know if it's possible to enable it again or if it's a lollipop screw up.
I'm sure if we made enough of a fuss about it, they'll put some of these features back :3 there's no logical reason I can think of to remove a simple "Sort" button.
If you aren't too bothered about TW only widgets (like the weather clock), you could always use another home launcher app. Google Launcher and Nova are both quite good. Google Launcher is nice and simple, and Nova is customisable to the extreme.
I'm currently in the process of organising my folders and home screen layout of Nova should have installed that first, as I now have loads of apps to organise u.u damn....
Is there a way to backup my TouchWiz homescreen? I know I can install nova launcher, but I'd like to stay with touch wiz if possible. Could it be done?
If you have rooted your phone, try Titanium. Otherwise I don't think so

Go to settings/Samsung Cloud/Backup or restore and here you can backup your touchwizz homescreen only way i know to do that
That's not an option on my device?
Only Calendar, contacts, Internet and keyboard.
All..I found an app called "My backup " that allows me to save all of the apps and folders on my TouchWiz homescreen. Works great!

Nova launcher is a good alternative, can use icon packs and can be setup to look the same as google launcher

So, I really like Grace UX, yet you can't get it by theme. So I am looking for a TouchWiz launcher that is able to change icon packs. I'm a bit picky so it would have to be pretty much exactly like stock. Any help please??
If anyone knows a way to get it another way, that would be great as well!

Launcher doen not include icons, so launcher doesn't mean anything, 50% of what you want are icons, and you can change them on stock launcher only by recompiling apk, putting certain icon in it, resign it and put it in system app or priv app folder woth correct permissions.
I was wondering if there's a way to change the icons of MIUI launcher. There are plenty of themes but I want to customize the icons on my own as I usually do with all my devices.
I usually just install Nova launcher and do everything, but since stupid MIUI breaks gesture navigation upon changing the home app I am searching for a way to change the icons of certain apps with my own Wich till now I do by making a custom apk and installing it.
Unfortunately MIui launcher does not seem to allow doing it that way.
I've tried with MIUI Theme manager apk from app store, but when I open it it's saying that I don't have any themes and I should check them in theme manager Wich is not true( I've downloaded some from themes app already)
Would appreciate any help if you guys know how I can do this.
