Hey guys,
I just want to know how to use the icon for Launcher Pro (PNG file) which downloaded.
thanks!
Long-press the launcher's icon which you want to replace -> Change Icon -> Custom Icon and then select the file you want to use as an icon.

I have try this method but the icon is too small to see.
Too small?
I think they are too big, resize them to 74px.

Are you trying to replace them in the App Drawer or just on the screen?

hi! sorry I wrote wrongly.. I forgot a word.. I know where apps are.. I meant where default app ICONS are.. sorry for confusion..
I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

nova launcher allows me to change apps icons very easily, I have already changed all the apps icons I have in the dock.. so I just need to know where I can find the telephone app icon to be able to use it..

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

Thank you very much
It is the blue telephone app icon you can see in the attachment..
I have it somewhere in the system I'm sure otherwise the app couldn't show it but don't know where i could look..
you forgot the attachment
Sorry.. second from the left, third row.. it is the regular jb telephone app icon.. I don't like all the other telephone icons I have..
just trying to upload it now :thumbup:

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.

Hi guys,
Searched a bit this morning and found a few awesome icon packs I would like to try out with my current touchwiz launcher.:good: The problem is: I have no idea how. After a quick search I came across a program called Unicon but I'm searching for a "free" way of changing my icons.
Is there a way to change the Icons by modding some files?
Thanks in advance,
Kaïn

If you have to icon pack, this is my theme. Extract rar go to vrtheme system app or priv-app and reviewer. If you can't make send pm.

Not sure this is entirely possible. You would have to decompile the app and change files and code. Not 100% sure.

Yeah, only to decompile, easier is to use another launcher.
