I don't have any problems changing icons if I use ones from the Venom hub, but I am having limited success with icon packs from the play store. Some of them look "installed" in the app drawer but are not when I go to my home screens. I want to install the Stark pack but I haven't been able to. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Not sure if this helps or not, but in case you're using a different launcher (Nova, etc.), you'll need to change those icons through the launcher's settings. However, if you're using the Sense launcher, I'm not sure what to do.

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.
I saw apex was updated to support themes. I searched the market and didn't see many. Does anyone know of any there or on xda?

I used ADW EX on my Incredible, and just reloaded it in my Rezound. Sooo many themes, docks, icons, etc.

yeah, i saw it too thats why i updated and i tried to apply launcher pro miui icon pack from the market but i couldnt do so. how do i apply this icon pack? can it be done using apex free version?
With the hype about Apex supporting themes, you would think that there would be at least one out by now. hehe
It says it supports themes from ADW and Go, etc... But all it really supports are the icon packs and wallpapers, which you could already do with ROM Toolbox, etc...

Weird, mine only did that when Superuser was messed up, had some bad binaries or something and needed to be updated.
I am on Scott's CleanROM DE and it runs fine.
Yeah I haven't found any yet. But at least I can replace the icons on the home screens from an adw theme

I really am surprised that such a popular launcher that now supports themes, still hasn't had a single one made? Weird...

agreed. I really like Apex and would like to see some themes.

I don't consider a red wallpaper and a slight red tinge to the stock icons to be a "theme"...
if i saw right it will support themes from other launchers so just search themes for those. the one i used is an ics one. just search ics and its the one with the android sandwich. it works for all other launchers so i assume it works for apex

On most of the other launcher's themes, it just imports the icons and wallpaper... it is very limited in what it can do. Personally, the theming in general is kinda weak. Icons, some colors and things is about all that really changes. None of them truly theme the OS, IMHO

True, I was just hoping that Apex would be able to offer something other than Icon and Font packs, which we can get through Recovery, ROM Toolbox, etc...
Hi Guys,
I have made several themes which are specifically made for Apex.It's just that Google Play Store Search Engine sucks so it is hard to find themes.
Anyways, You can find my Apex Themes here

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?
rant
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
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.

I have the NonSense ICS ROM installed on my phone. It has Apex Launcher installed which supports Go Launcher Themes. Yet for some reason it only enables the icons. Any ideas why?
There is an option for 'skin' and 'fonts' but they are greyed out.
Any way to fix this? Or is there cuttently no support for the full themes?

Have you upgraded from the free version?
According to google play Apex Launcher Pro unlocks the following features:
- Multiple configurable drawer tabs
- Unread count notifications
- Dock swipe gestures
- Two finger gestures
- More transition effects
- ADW, LauncherPro, and Go Launcher theme support
- Batch add option for folders
- Option to merge folder contents
- Widgets in dock (1x1 only)
- Overlapping widgets
- More features on the way!
Apex was cool but I have yet to find a launcher that has everything I want all in one. Each launcher has something I like, but none all in one.
I saw that, but does that just mean icon support or the entire theme? I don't want to spend the money only to be disappointed
Yeah haha that's so true! Every launcher has pros and cons haha
