How to change icons on Nexus S?

Hello,
I rooted my nexus s and was wondering how do I change the Icons on them? Do I have to download a ROM for a custom theme? Also I downloaded a icon package which I really like, was wondering if its possible to use them?

adw ex launcher lets you change your icons
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071

Use a launcher that allows you to change the icons. If you're on ICS, use Nova Launcher. If not, ADW, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher all let you customize icons.
Keep in mind though, that for apps the icons are only changed in the homescreen, but not in the drawer.

That is true for all except GO!Launcher. It changes app icons in App Drawer. Otherwise you're right those are all great options. You can however change the icon in a system folder somehow... I've seen a tutorial on the forums somewhere, but it takes work.

Change icon pack ?

Hi,
I want to change icons of HTC ONE X. Mine is rooted and on custom firmware. I particularly looking for Galaxy SIII or SII icon pack and how to change it.

You can apply icon packs through most third party launchers, I'm running Nova Prime and it supports icon packs, although I haven't used them. It also lets you change icons individually on the home screens and docks. It will accept Go launcher and ADW launcher icon packs from the market.
Here is a touchwiz theme I found that includes icons:

Any way to change icons?

I love this phone, but I am not that crazy about the icons on TouchWiz. Is there anyway to change icons without being on a ROM that has the theme chooser?

you cuold always try apex launcher or another launcher also!

APK Edit will allow you to change the icon and/or application name for any program... very easy to use.
see this:

OK, a lot easier way to do this is to download "Apex Launcher" or "Nova Launcher" from the play store. They both support icon packs. There are many free ones out on the play store (stock jellybean, motorola icons, lg icons, google icons, touchwiz icons...etc)
Launcher:

Icons (a bunch):

Sweet, thanks for the response guys that helps a lot.

Icon changer works for me:good:

I've been using Apex launcher for a while now an I really like it. The best feature is letting me change the home page grid size. I really prefer to have 5 x 4 instead of the default 4x4.

I find GO Launcher EX to be an excellent launcher as it has some many plugins available so you can customize every aspect of the O/S to make it look exactly like you want. It also has a complete widget series for further customization. I like the custom calendar, weather, and notifications it provides. Also there is a really cool SMS text message app that add many custom icons to your text messages.

Has anyone figured out a workaround to changing icons on the Google Now Launcher?

I'm using the Google Now launcher on my S7, and it along with a Marshmallow theme from the Samsung theme store has given the phone a nice stock Android look. Unfortunately, the icon pack included along with the Marshmallow theme hasn't applied on GNL. I know GNL doesn't natively support icon packs but has anyone figured out a workaround for this? The TouchWiz icons stand out otherwise. And when I say icon packs, I mean in the app drawer too, not just modded shortcuts on the home screen.

In case you have root you can use Xposed and the XGEL module to use a different icon pack:

Otherwise (i.e. without root) I would recommend a launcher like Nova.

I'm not rooted.

Use Nova Launcher. You can set it up to look exactly like GEL, but it's more functional and performs better. You can use Google Opinion Rewards to build up a couple of £/$ to cover the cost of "Prime" but it's not necessary.

Fyi for anyone googling this or looking for this still. I had my s7 edge display scaling set to condensed to fit more on the screen. Once I changed it back to standard (with the material Samsung theme applied) and rebooted the correct icons appeared. Could be that the change forces the launcher to recreate icons or clear it's cache etc.
Also, stock android lovers, install good lock from the galaxy app stores to bring the stock android notification shade and status bar into your s7. Got a very stock feel now with Samsung material theme, Google now launcher and good lock.
Hope this helps someone.
So switch your display scaling after setting your theme should flush the icons ??

Question Change MIUI icon pack?

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.
