Update Icons for the default launcher - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

If you use App Manager to add applications to the default launcher's desktop, you can replace the icons with any png that you can find on the net.
Example: I download this icon to the root of my sdcard. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6e/Android_Market.png
Then I use app manager to add the Market to the b&n desktop. After that was finished, I ran these commands on the nook.
Code:
ls /data/data/com.hari.sideloadapps/files/
cp /sdcard/Android_Market.png /data/data/com.hari.sideloadapps/files/Market
Restart the b&n launcher or restart the Nook and you are good to go.
After you add an application, list the /data/data/com.hari.sideloadapps/files/ directory to see the name of the default icon, which is most like the name of the app as seen on the desktop. Once you know the name, just copy over the new png. Be sure to leave off the extension.
BTW: Home Manager is an app that will easily allow you to switch launchers and stop and start a launcher if need.

noob question
When you say you ran the commands on the nook tablet how did you do it. I would like to use the stock launcher but cant stand the way the icons look when added with the app manager.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I used adb shell from my mac, but you can use terminal emulator from the market. Once you open it up, type su to switch to root then run the above commands.

will be trying

Nice. You can do this whole procedure on the tablet itself using root explorer as well! (Only works if rooted of course, and you pay for the app, but what self respecting rooter doesn't have root explorer?)
