where can i get some pretty hott icons and how do i install them after i find them...
Suave Icons are very nice. The Suave Iconset has nearly every app in it.
I use Go Launcher EX as my homescreen, just install from the play store (it's not free anymore though) and select it from the Go Launcher EX preferences. I think Suave exists for many launchers.
See screenshot below.
i hate go launcher...im on APEX anyways...and i know theres gotta be nicer icons out there than that....thanks though
I believe there are themes you can download for apex launcher. After that go into theme chooser and you can select what icon pack you want to use.
Well, it's all up to taste, search the market apex and nova can use go and Adw themes. I use mitch's flat icons

For icon changing, I recommend using Desktop Visualizer and then any icon files you want for ultimate customisation even if you use stock launcher

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 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. :-/

my icon property is
size:108x108

Does anyone know how to change icon in go launcher? or is it only available in the go launcher ex version?

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
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.
