I am running the Com Rom 2.1. I currently have the dark alien version theme installed. I am trying to install the DarkAliens Icon.zip. I just found out that I need a launcher to change the icons. Which launcher do you recommend? Want something that looks good and runs smoothly.
I personally like Go Launcher ex. It is really nice easy to customize and has a very managable app drawer.
Ok awesome. Downloaded it. And i like how it is formed. Final question, i have the icons zip on my sd card. is there a certain folder i should put it in? because i open up preferences on the launcher and go to dock settings and that icon selection isnt there? Any suggestions?

I don't know about the zip file part but if you long press on one of the dock items "Choose icon" is one of the choices. From there I'm not sure if it will automatically find your custom ones or if they need to be unzipped somewhere specific. I think you have the option of using a file manager program to find them, wherever they may be.
I would try unzipping the icons into a folder on your sdcard.

just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...
Thanks In advance!
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.
You can use better cut... Edit any shortcut...

or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

Longpress on home screen then select shortcuts bettercuts but i couldn't find the option for a folder. Ended up downloading Apps Organizer and was able to to make a folder and change the icon on it.
ok I did it using bettercut through astro... so I guess it might not be supproted I just used a back door..
Sorry, I don't even know how to describe (in the title) wat I'm asking but:
I have custom LP 'Dock' and 'Icon' images on my SDcard (thnx 'bad4u6669') that I'd like to use to replace the stock LPplus images.
So if possible, how can I accomplish this? Can I just move them to 'LP' itself (thus replacing current options/files) or add them? And how do I locate/navigate to those files?
Would I use "Root Explorer" or "ADB"? (currently am try'n to learn "adb." I tried installing "setCPU" from "Android-sdk-windows/platform-tools" and "SDK" said it: "can't find 'setcpu.apk' to install" it.)

You can change that in the settings for LP. .apk is the file extension for programs for our phone, not LP.
No. I want to change/CUSTOMIZE options inside LP.
i.e.:replace stock dock n icon options w/ custom dock n icon options.
Like u'd see in a custom ROM, so that when I go into pref.s n appearance in LP to select a dock (say...froyo wide) instead of seeing the stock I'll see my custom dock.

I'm soooo sick of pressing a million buttons just to test different icons n such.
Note: I'd rather add options than replace them. Also I realize the the solution's Polly too difficult for me to accomplish as hastily as I would please.

Get a free app called Desktop Visualizer. That allows you to use your images for docks and icons.

Just to clarify, I do know how to set custom icons n docks in LP. I want to add and/or change the default icons n dock options inside of LP itself.

Do you mean change the icons and shortcuts they link to? If so that is the app for it.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I don't know. Will it let me create a custom dock and set it as the default option for say..."froyo wide" as opposed to the stock "froyo wide"?
I want to alter (as the developers do) the .apk file itself-I'm pretty sure an app won't do that. Tho I don't know.I haven't checked it out yet.
Besides "bad4u6669" already emailed me the answer. Thnx tho. I'll look into soon
No that does the same thing as the 'custom' option in LauncherPro. Like I said, I already know how to set them. It's just a hassle to change bak n forth.
Anyway I guess I'm not explaining well enough but I got the answer n I feel like I'm go'n in circles. Thnx tho

Does anyone know how to add 5 icons to the app drawer at the bottom of the screen on eclipse v0.6? That last version I used had an option in it and now I can't seem to find it. I want to use the deblurred version.
I understand its a tiny issue but I really prefer five icons.
Thanks for all the help
The Action Buttons?
I think they are under the ADW settings right?

Thats the thing. I have been all over the rom and can't find the ADW settings.
Huh, that sucks, maybe go to the market and reinstall it?
I went from .6 to .5 for the red ICB theme, I want to try out .7 though.

Is this serious?
1. At home screen hit the menu button
2. Select 'more'
3. Select 'ADWSettings'
4. At the menu select 'UI Settings'
5. Select 'Main Dock Sytle' and change to '5 Icons'

Personally, I use launcher pro + which has the option in a similar location to ADW.
I've wondered this for a while, but how exactly do I theme my ROM (i'm currently on ICZen) To change the icons into something I like.
I'm really digging these icons http://guillendesign.deviantart.com/art/VARIATIONS-3-261509672
How would I be able to change my apps icons into these? Can it all be automated or is it manually one by one changing the icons?
If you use a launcher like adw or apex you can change the icons on your home screens, not in the drawer.
All you do is long press the icon of the app you want to change. You will be given the choice to change the name or icon. Click the picture of the icon and then go find your downloaded icon. Click and confirm. Bam you got your new icon.
Now I'm trying to download these ones in your link but can't seem to find a link to download them. Did you download these? I only have my phone, maybe I need to get on Computer to get them, idk.

Oh well, they would have looked good. You can use any picture that you have as a custom icon though. Also I know that adw theme apps in the market come with there own sets of icons. I download themes just to get the icons.

Seeing that you both are posting from your phones, I found that you can't download things from Deviant Art in your browser for some reason. I just hopped on my PC and download from there.
Roly is right though, you just find your icons, unzip them and put in a folder called Icons. Then Long-press your icon on your home page you want to change and a menu will pop up with Edit. Click it and it will give you an option to use from gallery, url (I think) or file explorer. If I am just changing one icon, I will use the gallery. Might have to clear cache on your gallery to get it to rescan and show your new icons. Once in your gallery, you just navigate to your one that you want and pick it.
If you want to change all your icons, you have to go into ADW/APEX settings and go to themes and then in there you can pick a set from your sd card.
I use Desktop Visualizr and Simple Test too. Very handy and easy to use.
So after two whole days of owning this phone I'm on ics, but I want the ics icons I'm on nova launcher to rid myself of sense so can it be done without using a different launcher

Yes sir... Desktop Visualizer
It allows you to put icons on your Sd card and set them for any application you want... i believe there is also icon packs you can use for it
I got the ics theme for adw and long pressed and edited and that worked also.

You can always go the longer route, if you want to change the icon throughout the entire rom. I use root explorer, extract the apk, replace the icon png, zip file, rename as apk, move back into system/apps. Reboot. I only do this on Sense so that I can still have the notification bubbles on stock apps (msgs, phone, task, etc)
