I want to use the stock ICS icons in the nova launcher, does anyone know how to do this?
So when you add an app to your dock or one of the homescreens, a different icon pops up?
Do you have any icon packs installed?
same here please

Download an ADW ICS Theme. This one from KovDev works perfectly. Long press the icon, tap edit, click on the image, select Image File, then select ADW Icons or something like that. Then you'll have the choice of using that ICS icon from there. Works perfectly.
EDIT: You can use any ADW theme this way (at least individual icons) in Nova Launcher. I do it all the time, so I know it works.
EDIT 2: This will only be for individual icons on the homescreen, not in the app drawer.
If you download the icons, you press and hold the app with the icon you want to change, select edit, then click on the icon. From here it will give you an option to pick from the gallery or file browser, just pick the icon file and you're good to go.

Thanks guys worked perfectly. i feel so dumb now.
It would be nice to be able to change multiple icons with a pack, much like launcher pro. :-/

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.

Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?
(disclaimer- if mod's feel the need to delete, do so, just let me know)
I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
i've been trying to use themes, and noticing that with launcherpro, after you press menu on the home screen, some of the icons don't change along with the new theme. as such, the search, notifications, and preferences icons don't change. does anyone have a way to fix this?

You have to touch a blank spot on the screen. A menu will pop up, hit shortcut then applications. Pick your app then click on the icon and it well ask if you want the default icon or a custom one. You should be able to use any pictures you have in your gallery. You can also google png (fill in the blank) icon pictures and then download them to your sd card.
No he's talking about the icons for the menu options. When you press menu on the homescreen. I believe its because some of the icons call on the system default icons (the default in your case being whatever theme your using) and some come with the app. I think you would have to open the apk and swap out the .pngs with the icons you want to use.
I think...I've never done this, so hopefully someone will come in and fill in the holes that my ignorance couldn't.

yea thats what i meant. here's what it looks like currently. its a honeycomb theme with bionix 1.3.1 and using launcherpro. you can see that some of the icons are the new blue ones, but the rest didnt change.
i tried using ninjamorph to change the the icons, the blue ones are in system/framework, but i dont know where the notification, search, and preferences ones are located. anyone have any clue?
Those specific ones should be located with in the launcher pro apk, if im thinking about thi s correctly. you will need to resign the apk after making my modifications for it to work. Hope this helps

Same Difference In A Way. Same Developer. You Made The Right Choice.
I am running Eclipse v0.2.2. I have adw launcher EX. I changed the ERI banner. I have navenedrob's init.d hack but I edited his script by removing some tweaks and only keeping the CPU freq tweak, SD read ahead and the IO tweak. I did that because I am using the V6supercharger and kickasskernal scripts. (You have to remove the tweaks that overlap) Oh and I am using the 3gturbochrager tweak.
I'm running eclipse 2.2 with init.d, 3gt, build.prop. Currently running my custom theme thru adw along with my blackout theme. Going for a wp7 look...sort of...
Also running a few aosp apps such as messaging and gallery (huge improvement)

Looks good, I like your icons for the app drawer and the phone. Did you make them or are they part of the theme package?

Ooo LauncherPro Gives Me The Option For 3D Drawer. Hope That Helps.
Yeah I have that check but what I'm trying to do is change the icons on the dock, on the home screen. I can't seem to find the icons. I have everything in stalled but when I try and change the icons it doesn't give me the option to change to the 3d icon pack.

Go Inside LauncherPro's Preferences And Click Theme Settings Then Select The 3D Icon Pack.
Yep, did that but it doesn't change the dock icons to the 3d icons it just keeps the basic launcher pro icons.

Did You Try Restart LauncherPro? Maybe Uninstall Then Reinstall.
Yeah, I tried that. If I press and old the app drawer button it does ask me if I want to change the icon, change shortcut, swipe gesture action. When I choose change icon. It then ask me if I want Launcher Pro icons or custom icons. If I choose Launcher Pro icon it brings up the default icons. if I choose custom it brings up the gallery. Neither bring up the M22-3D icon pack. Thanks for all of your direction I know this is not your program. I just thought there was something I am missing. I guess it could just be the phone.

Go To Your Homescreen Press The Menu Button. Select Preferences Then Select The Theme Settings. Select The Icon Pack.
Did that no change. What I am referring to is the app drawer icon on the home page that launches the app drawer. The icons inside the app drawer are 3d. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse.
im using the p3droid and then froze a bunch of stuff that i saw was listed. for some reason eclipse just feels slow and it scored about 300 lower on smartbench.
How do I install them quickly? I know of desktop visualiser but that is very slow and have to do 1 by 1. Is there any apps that I can use to choose/filter the icons that I want to use? Thanks

If your using a custom launcher such as launcher pro, apex, nova, etc. If you are using apex launcher for example search up apex icon pack on the play store then download the one you like, and apply from the launchers theme or appearance settings selecting the icon pack you want to use. Let me know if you still have questions.
