How to mod single app icon ? Without a PC ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I well know Unicon which allow to change all the icons in the whole system with a icon pack
Looking for something similar but to mod only a few apps
Any idea ?

Easiest way is to use a custom launcher, like Nova. Not only can you edit the icon, but the name as well. It works on the home screen and app drawer.

I well know this feature, but I'm looking for something more complex
I want the icon to be changed into the whole system (e.g : in the multitasking window)

Maybe something along this line https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kellinwood.zipthemer perhaps?

GO SMS Ugly Icon!

Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Go SMS Icon on the default Samsung lockscreen, I use Go SMS for default sms and I'm running Nova launcher so have changed the go sms icon to ics icon. But on my lockscreen the go sms icon cannot be changed, is there away?? I have tried a few ICS lockscreen but none work to how I want, either double lock screen or look awful!
Can someone shed some light on best way.
Thanks

AFAIK, the icon cannot be changed on the default lockscreen. Only the application. The only way I can see to change the icon would be to edit the Go SMS Pro apk and change the icon file to the one you want. This however will need to be done again after every reboot.
Another way would be to create your own small application with the Icon you want, and have that just directly open Go SMS Pro.

Thank you for the reply... Hmm that's a shame as I do like the default lockscreen just the Go SMS Pro app looks awful on there!
I'm not sure how to create my own icon, was hoping that I could copy the stock messaging icon and replace the Go SMS one in root...
Oh well will just stick with Holo launcher now!
Thanks.

i think you can decompile the apk, change the icon sign it and install it and it will have the icon you replaced by default. but its not such an easy process.

Hmm think I might skip that, probably end up causing more damage than its worth!
Thanks though..

If you install widget locker, you can customize the lock screen using any combination of icons-to-apps that you want.

Specific widget settings

Well, whenever I reload an exported theme, my widget settings are gone. So I have to do them again. But the only way to do this right now, is removing the widget, then finding it in a huge list, and adding it again.
Am I the only one who would like this?
Made a feature request too
Seems like a "Settings" link could easily be added below the Widget menu, under "Resize" and "Remove"

What type of settings are you referring to? Settings such as Widget Overlap or Desktop Grid Size are theme dependent, therefore every new theme will have it's specific settings.

I'm talking about the settings that some widgets have, like gtasks, where you need to choose which account you want to show tasks from, what colour the widget should have, and some other things. Like widget specific. Not all widgets got something to set, but some you have to setup a few options when you place it the first time. And at least in my stock launcher, I can get back to checking or resetting those settings again.
Know what I mean?
Kinda hard to explain

We understand what you mean, however Themer is the same as any other launcher when it comes to this. For example, if you add a Clock widget, it will give you all the same options as any other launcher. You can always change these settings if you open the app from the app drawer.

You mean the app drawer? To change its icon you will have to use custom launcher. You cannot change it in stock launcher. Nova launcher is good. Try that.

Question Icon Pack in Pixel 6

Hi, I have a pixel 6 and I'm missing some customisation. I would like to be able to use icon packs but I don't want to root the phone. Is there any way to allow me to do this?

Use another launcher from play store. Default Pixel Launcher doesn't support icon pack unless rooted.
Yes of course, I know that, but I would like to keep using the original launcher, it works very well.... I guess I'm still asking for something impossible...

Try the X Icon Changer app from playstore.
X Icon Changer - Change Icons - Apps on Google Play
App Icon Changer & Shortcut Creator. Customize your icons without any watermarks
play.google.com
It basically makes shortcuts/widgets (so the new "icons" are only shown on the home screen and not in the app drawer) but would work on stock launcher without root.
It's shortcut maker and an icon pack, you create a shortcut from shortcut maker (a widget actually, which looks like a shortcut) for every app you want on your home screen, then while creating said shortcut you change its icon in the icon section omegle xender . Inside the icon section in shortcut maker app you will find an option to apply icon from an icon pack.
