Usually you can just delete the shortcut in your home screen, then drag and drop a new one from the drawer. However, I seem to have run into a problem with my gallery app. No matter what icon theme I apply, it won't change the icon! Does anyone know how to fix this?

My be launcher, I would just change that. Or are you using a AOKP/CM/PAC theme, try another one. Thats as far as I can help because really, there isnt a fix for that orther than these options.But you can also look for an icon changer on app store (90% of theme require root)

its a brilliant app, however there is one feature i still cannot figure out/dont know if its possible. I like the feature that allows you to place shortcuts in the notification menu. pretty basic. but everytime i do, the ugly ass default icon shows up in the bar, even if i apply a default/custom icon to the app.
does anyone know how to change the notification bar icon for those shortcuts?
What launcher are you using? I'm using launcher pro and have two folder organizer links on my dock, one for my android tools and another for internet stuff. The launcher lets you customize the icons for anything in the dock by long pressing on the icon/app. Give it a try.

im actually running bar control, i have been for quite a while, i just really want to be able to set my own icons. i mean folder organizer allows you to associate custom icons to apps, but for some reason it doesnt resize the icons to fit the notification bar
Is there a way to put app icons from the app drawer to a folder to the app drawer itself? I tried using several homescreen replacements but i really like how the SE default feels, feels premium! Thanks in advance

I hardly understood what you said and concluded that you want to set icons for folder like the icons in app drawer are
for that you can use any of these two softwares one is free other is paid app
You can change icons of software by using first and by using second link you can change icon of folders ...
To change icon of software get -
Desktop VisualizeR
To change icon of folder get -
Folder Organizer Paid
Folder Organizer Free
Else get this light weight launcher and its really very fast responcive and low memory consumter...
360 launcher
I hope it will help you....
Go launcher, or touchwiz 4.5 works on all roms. And has app drawer folders

I've wondered this for a while, but how exactly do I theme my ROM (i'm currently on ICZen) To change the icons into something I like.
I'm really digging these icons http://guillendesign.deviantart.com/art/VARIATIONS-3-261509672
How would I be able to change my apps icons into these? Can it all be automated or is it manually one by one changing the icons?
If you use a launcher like adw or apex you can change the icons on your home screens, not in the drawer.
All you do is long press the icon of the app you want to change. You will be given the choice to change the name or icon. Click the picture of the icon and then go find your downloaded icon. Click and confirm. Bam you got your new icon.
Now I'm trying to download these ones in your link but can't seem to find a link to download them. Did you download these? I only have my phone, maybe I need to get on Computer to get them, idk.

Oh well, they would have looked good. You can use any picture that you have as a custom icon though. Also I know that adw theme apps in the market come with there own sets of icons. I download themes just to get the icons.

Seeing that you both are posting from your phones, I found that you can't download things from Deviant Art in your browser for some reason. I just hopped on my PC and download from there.
Roly is right though, you just find your icons, unzip them and put in a folder called Icons. Then Long-press your icon on your home page you want to change and a menu will pop up with Edit. Click it and it will give you an option to use from gallery, url (I think) or file explorer. If I am just changing one icon, I will use the gallery. Might have to clear cache on your gallery to get it to rescan and show your new icons. Once in your gallery, you just navigate to your one that you want and pick it.
If you want to change all your icons, you have to go into ADW/APEX settings and go to themes and then in there you can pick a set from your sd card.
I use Desktop Visualizr and Simple Test too. Very handy and easy to use.
Hey, this is really just a minor annoyance, but does anyone know if it's possible to remove the "tap the + above to customize home screen" message from additional empty home screens? This might not be an issue specific to the Optimus G but it's the first time I've noticed it... and if it is possible, could someone instruct me? Thank you.
P.S. I already did some searching around... I tried adding icons to the screens and then deleting them, but the message reappears.
Also, I tried deleting the screens altogether and making new ones... no luck.
You could use a different launcher

Yeah, that's an idea, thank you. Usually I hate stock launchers... but actually I don't think there's a third-party one that can compete with LG's stock on this phone in terms of aesthetics... I'm familiar with apex, nova, holo and the like... on older phones they can be a great improvement, but on the e970 they all seem like taking a step backward tbh.
Anyway to get rid of that text while staying with lghome?
You can try to find a completely transparent widget and add it to the home screen. But other than editing the lghome apk, there is no way to do it thought the included features of the launcher.
EDIT: Tested it out for you:
download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.acw&feature=search_result
Change all the colors to 0 alpha
Disable all text areas
click save and you can't even tell its there.
Try using apex launcher, it is extremely fast and customizable. I'm using the monochrome icons with Xperia wallpaper.

How did you get the clock in the center? Are you running The Base?
That's correct. I also like the scroll and animation speed settings you get with nova launcher it has to be as fast or faster then the stock launcher.

That was nice of you, thanks. I'll try it with the widget, but actually you hit the nail on the head... I think what I'm really looking to do would be editing the ui somehow - I have previously taken the lghome apk and extracted it to look around... but I'm thinking it may be beyond me to do what I want. I have a feeling it's going to involve editing the xml files somehow, but I'm not sure... any ideas on where to start looking?
EDIT - Okay, added attachment just for clarity. There's really nothing on the web about this particular subject that I've been able to find. Maybe no one cares/all use third party launchers. If I knew where to look or what files I needed to edit, I could probably muddle through with a combination of common sense and web tuts unless this situation is going to require something like smali editing or whathaveyou, in which case I'd have an easier time trying to get my Beagle to give me the answers to the meaning of life and world peace.
Over the weekend I swapped from CleanRom Lite to Beans build 10. I noticed that I can no longer change the wallpaper background on my lock screen. I use golauncher and also noticed that I am no longer able to change app drawer wallpaper background.
Anybody else seeing this problem?

Are you using the gallery to change it. It will not work with the 4.2 gallery if you selected that in aroma during install. No sure about go launcher tho as I haven't used that since pre-ics days
So when I go to that option, it only allows me to pick a wallpaper using gallery. It won't allow me to use any of the other media apps like quickpic...
Can that be changed? How can I have the phone allow me to use quick pic at the choose lock screen wallpaper selection screen?

Here's what mine looks like even after I change lock screen wallpaper using quick pic to set.

You need to open gallery, find the pic you want, hit menu, then set as. This will bring up options where to set it
After I do that, the wallpaper remains the same. This really isn't that big of a deal, just a small thing I would like to be able to do. Any thoughts on why it won't take?
I will try restarting the phone and see if that does anything...

Hmmmm. Not really sure from here. Could be an issue from the pin lock? Have you tried changing it to swype and see if it works? If not I'm not sure, maybe a go launcher issue.
