I installed SenseLauncher.apk (reference) and got it on the home-screen. However, when I drag an app on the LAB or RAB, the app icon is shown over the theme icons! e.g. I tried to drag the Dialer app onto the Phone button, but I got the Dialer icon on top of the Phone icon! I checked in the settings but could find anything to hide the overlaying icons. Please help.
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

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.

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 **
1. Execute ICON CHANGER
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?
Hi,
The Halo multiwindow feature from ParanoidAndroid allows the System to open up any app in a floating window. However there are few alternative ways to launch an app in the multiwindow except for the original Halo bubble.
For people using tools like sidebars or similar applications, there's no option to do that.
That's why I developed the app HaloShortcut. My app allows you to create a shortcut that opens every app in the floating window provided by the Halo feature.
There's an app with similar functions called HaloShortcuts, which you should definitely try out. It comes with an additional search feature and most importantly, it's open source,
HaloShortcuts:
Provides a shortcut for every app/activity that will then start in a multiwindow
The Blacklist feature allows you to control whether an app starts in multi window depending on the currently used app
Doesn't appear in your home launcher nor does it run in the background at any moment
NEW Feature:
(Also works with the XHaloFloatingWindow XPosed extension)
Further information about the Halo project:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/paranoid-android-team-open-sources-halo/
Changelog;
Version 3.2: Fixed Blacklist
Version 3.0: Complete new UI and added Blacklist Feature
Version 2.1: Shortcut labels now show correct name
Version 2.0: Shortcut support
Version 1.0: First release

Very cool, very handy. Thank you.
Good good , thanks

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!

Hey, I implemented the requested feature, thanks for the support :good:
Hi , this app somehow is not working on my Xperia Z, running android 4.3
i cant see the app icon ANYWHERE in the phone, so cannot create a halo shortcut.
i tried the other halo shortcut you suggested at #1, that one only creates a shortcut on the home screen, so that's not too useful (i want to create a halo shortcut on notification bar)
Thanks
Works great! Thank you!
I like it! Great app

Hey, this app won't show up in any launcher, because that wouldn't make sense at all. But you should be able to access it from a popup dialog whenever you want to add a shortcut to something.
So in your app that makes the notification bar shortcuts, you have to select shortcuts and than select "HaloShortcut".
If you still have problems, tell me the name of the app that you are using and i'll see how to get it done

Hi,I've finally found the option, it is under "Bookmark" (not "App") when creating the halo shortcuts.
It is working if i create a desktop shortcut to open app with halo, but currently it doesn't work with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=en
which i try to add the halo shortcut to the notification bar, the app opens as normal.
Thanks
sorry

Hey, I tried the app and for me it worked flawlessly, so I can't tell you what the problem is
(I use the xposed halo module)
great work:good::good::good::good:
Works good for me so far with xHalo. All the possibilities are great. Thanks for the app.
Thanks fot your app.
But it doesnt work with XHFW3. (Xhalofloating window 3.16)
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.halo.floatingwindow3
XHFW3 works with Android6.
Could you make it suitable with XHFW3?
Thank you.
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 ..

I downloaded and installed the Handshaker apk and installed it on my Pixel 2. It shows up in my Application Manager, but there is no icon in my app drawer so I can't add it to my home screen or launch it. How do I go about creating a shortcut on my home screen, or if not that then how do I find the application to manually launch it?
Thanks in advance.
