I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.

HI does anyone know how I can change the app drawer in lp?
I searched but I wasn't successful.
Maybe is there an app that contains several different drawers so I can assign that app on launcher pro?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert, but you can use alt drawer, and assign the shortcut in LP
There are several apps (for free!) on the market and elsewhere that you can use as alternative app drawers, which you can download and set as the shortcut where the LP app drawer shortcut would be normally. I was using LP+ for a while with the app drawer shortcut set to open my stock app drawer (Motoblur on a Droid2 Global) and it worked just fine.
It would really be great if LP had an option to customize the drawer aside from size, though... GO Launcher wins that category, in my opinion.

Can you name me some good apps please.
And do you know how I can get the xperia style app drawer, where all the apps are on a transparent glass and you just swipe horizontally to move onto another page. It would be great if I can do this.

If that is what you want you can use a theme, there must be a glass theme i guess. In LP you can already swype in the app drawer from one page to the next one, or is that in Go Launcher? (I dont use LP since a while ago and cannot remember correctly) In Go Launcher you can choose to swype horizontally or vertically, also you can apply any of the lots of themes and there is a glass one
If this does not satisfy you you can use Altdrawer as somebody said above, here is the link

AltDrawer is definitely a good one, and I'm sure there are others. GO Launcher Ex is a really good option too. I'm using it right now and there's tons of support for themes and customization, including the app drawer.
I don't link Alt Drawer since it takes long to start up and most importantly it does not even look like the xperia style app drawer.
btw does anyone know of any good glass themes for lp?
I use "all apps organizer" with launcher pro and it works perfectly

Just go into the market and search for launcher pro themes there you can see how they look like.
But I'm sure the themes only edit the widgets not the app drawer, that's from what I know

The themes also replace the app icons for examle the ios theme changes all the icons to ios style so also the icons in the app drawer will be changed.
Why dont you just try? If you dont like it you can just remove it

Guys its ok I decided not to use the app drawer but instead put all app shortcuts in the homescreen (I got this idea when I tried the MIUI launcher).
However does anyone know how I can add the app drawer shortcut in the desktop not the dock so that I can open the app drawer and create a shortcut for newly installed apps.
I have research this... and no,you cannot add app drawer shortcut on homescreen. Sorry.
Leave a thanks if I helped...

Can anyone suggest a good app that will allow a user to change the icon for an app?
I was using ADW EX and could change the icons anytime thanks for the fantastic integrated editing features of the launcher. But I'm giving Sense a thorough test drive for the first time and really like it, so I'd like to use all the custom icons I bought from Tha Phlash.
Follow-up: Is there a way to add a fifth column and/or fifth row?
Desktop Visualizer, it only changes them on the home screens tho, not the app drawer

Is there a way to change all the icons? App drawer included?
I've been using GO Launcher EX. I removed Sense, installed Ziggy's kernel, and installed ThaIconUltimate to change all my icons. It was a little sluggish at first, but it's running silky smooth ever since I flashed Ziggy's kernel.
In the screenshot attached, you'll see I have 5 icons across the bottom row, then 5 columns x 4 rows of icons on each screen. GO Launcher lets you customize how many rows/columns you'd like to add.
TW4 is an abomination. I have switched to the Apex launcher which does a good job of giving a stock ICS feel, but I want rid of the fugly samsung TW icons for phone, messaging, contacts etc.
Whats the easiest way to do this?

Why the **** would you bother changing the good things in stock ICS, like folders etc, and replace them with the sort of ugly and arduous **** we haven't had to deal with since Froyo in stock?
/rant
If you get Apex Pro you can use the adw ICS theme and use the icon pack from that in the Apex theme menu.
Just download an ICS icon pack and long press to change them using Apex launcher. Did a quick google search and found many. One link below.

Once you get your icon sets, Desktop Visualizer from the market gives you the ability to change any icon with any launcher and resize it depending on what you want.

Does TW give you the ability to put the app drawer icon into the center?

Yep, been using it for months. Didn't work with Holo Launcher though
Hello,
IS there a way to keep my stock SMS icon and have it open up Handcent instead of the stock messaging app. I really don't like the Handcent blue icon up on my menu bar.
Thanks,
Mike
If you use custom launcher, like Apex Launcher, you can edit icons and even names of the app.
And if you prefer Sense you could use Desktop Visualizer.

It's what I'm doing, I also replaced the icon for the phone dialer...
you can also get the Sense Icons from somewhere and use Bettercut
I used it to customize my icons and added them to the dock
I use Apex Launcher. It can do just about anything with icons and your home screen.

Does Nova Launcher have a feature like this? Where you can change the icons around?
Hi, I recently installed some launchers and set one to be my default launcher for when i hit the home button. I know that if i go into the app managment page i can reset the default and then set touchwiz as the default however that is not my question.
My question is: Can i create a shortcut to go to the touchwiz launcher without resetting the default launcher? The other launchers i have installed have app icons so i can just click them and they open however touchwiz does not. Does anyone know how to make a touchwiz icon or some way to easily change the default launcher?
Thanks in advance :good:
Try Minimalistic text. You can use it to create a widget to launch TW Home.
