As the title suggests, I want to change the icons on cm10 but without using a different launcher. I use Desktop Visualizer but it doesnt change the icon anywhere other than the homescreen.
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to theme. I actually just want to add my own icons into the apk while keeping the stock theme.
Anyone?
Bump...
I think you'll have to decompile, edit, and recompile all your apks. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think there's an easy way to change all your icons.
You could use MIUI, but I don't think you'd like changing your ROM, if you're unwilling to change launchers.
I'd rather change my launcher if thats the case
guess you cant have everything in life after all
I use icon changer. Only problem with it is that I haven't found how to zoom the icons from icon packs so they are awfully small when selecting.

Yes i tried that too. same problem. with desktop visualizer you can hide the icon label and have it blown up so its a better option imo

Hi there
I don't like MIUI, always wotking on CM7, but I DO like the
fact that I will have nice page indicators in MIUI.
Is there an option, widget or mod that can be done by me when I
want a page indicator?
May be a normal dot, but if I can decompile and compile it would
be BETTER!
I use:
- LauncherPro
- Latest SGS CM7 nightly
Thanks in advance!
i would like to know if there is a way to change the page indicators in adw launcher..??
i think it can be changed in the launcher theme apk thou, have not tried this and i dont want to make a theme just so i can change the page indicators.
one way is to embed the indicators to walls.
but i wish there was an easy way to change it in the launcher apk.
anyone??
With MIUI you can just change the images in ADW in your MIUI theme. For example, you'd have a org.adwfreak.launcher (I think that's the right name) folder in your mtz and just put the images in there as they are in the apk. Unfortunately you're trying to do this on CM7, so it won't work the same way.
If LauncherPro already has an option to show page indicators then you can just change the images in the apk. I don't know exactly where the files are in LauncherPro, but they shouldn't be too hard to find. I don't think you have to decompile if you're just swapping out pngs.
You can also make shortcuts to the different pages and use whatever indicator you want as the image for the shortcut. For the current page I just used the app drawer action. You'd have to set columns and rows pretty high to get them fairly close together, and it still doesn't look the same.
On ADW (Ex at least), you can make a shortcut to different pages from the launcher actions shortcut menu. Unless something has changed with LP, you have to use LauncherPro shortcuts to get shortcuts to different pages. I have the files needed to do so somewhere, I can dig them out if anyone wants them.

Hi! I'm using adw launcher ex on cm7
I think pngs to be replaced are pager_dot_normal.png and pager_dot_selected.png (it's all I have found is all I've found that seems to refer to the indicators of the page)
located in:
\res\drawable-hdpi
\res\drawable-mdpi
\res\drawable-xlarge-mdpi
I've opened adw.apk with 7zip and i replaced these pngs, but nothing works. unexplainably i've got old dot indicators even they were replaced
I actually like blur home. It's only 74 kb, it's super quick, and I never really liked LP or ADW [stock g2x..stock defy..etc]
but I have installed the pink theme and now want icons to go with it..
is the ONLY way to use the icons a launcher?
Desktop Visualizer is not the answer..you can make shortcuts but it won't replace default drawer or dock icons
Someone let me know.
pretty sure you can change icons by unpacking the .apk files and changing the icons inside them?

i had a feeling i'd have to go icon app by app...
really sucks..need to find a way to do this quicker
I know you can change the items, but is it possible to change the default icons on the lockscreen in any way? I prefer the stock Android icons over the TouchWiz icons. Can they be edited, or is there any way to change them?

open the apps for which you want to change the icons using the apktool..you will find numerous guides on how to do it..
go to res>drawable-xhdpi
find ic_launcher_xxx or something like it
change it..
recompile it and push it back into your phone..
you are done..
Long story short: i have Samsung JB 4.1.2 rooted-deodexed and i want to change the icons. Is there any way i can do this? Most of the icons pack are for other launchers, not for TW. Can i change them "manually" without an installation pack? i am most interested on the drawer icons but i will not complain if i can change all of them...
to be more clear: i want to keep the touchwiz, so it is not an option to change the launcher.
thank you!
Im loving this amazing app so fsr on my GS4 but I still have some questions without answers, even though it coukd be just a lack of experience using this app my self.. Jere I go:
1. I can't find a way to change the default wallpapers for cuatom ones
2. I can't find how to replase some of the default icons on the dock bar by my prefered apps (like Go. Launcher style, wjre it let you edit any app, for example in Go Launcher I can place the +Contacts app and replace its original icon with the stock icon of the theme being used)
3. How can I eliminate widgets and add eliminate screens? Almost all themes have a news widget whixh i dont want.. What can I do?
I think this app rocks but it atill needs more customization and easier acces to more options
Thanls dor this glorious app!!!
For example, I could manage to change thenwall paper butnas soon as I changenthe number of main screens inside the themer settings thenwallpaper became all blaxk and wont let me see anybwidget. I add
