Want help creating custom icon pack - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to create an icon pack for some more obscure apps that i use for my phone to fit with a theme, but all the tutorials I see require nova launcher, I use Arrow Launcher by microsoft and i dont really want to use nova because its clunky to me.
Can anyone help me create a icon pack that could work with Arrow?

what do you guys suggest on a great launcher that can customize the icons that doesnt eat up alot of battery and ram but still can give enough room for customizing the feel and look

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?

Creating a icon pack for Apex/Nova/GO Launcher

I have searched and searched for a decent tutorial on how to create or modify an icon pack that can be used with Apex, Nova, or Go Launcher. I have decompiled an apk to see how it works, but I cannot figure out what exactly needs to be edited. However, I do see the folder full of the icons, but I'm not sure what I need to do with some of the XML files. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
I basically want to create a icon pack later, but for now.. I have made a couple icons that I want to add to an existing icon pack I'm using. Thanks guys!

or, please teach me how to make these icon become apk so it's possible to use it with launcher

Read the instructions, or read through the first few pages of an icon pack thread as no doubt it will have been asked if instructions aren't provided.
Download "desktop visualizer" from play store

Extract the zip. Use desktop visualizer to use the icon. You can even change icons in custom launchers like NOVA, APEX etc.

[Q] Add Icon to Icon Pack

Okay, so I'm trying to customize an Icon Pack, by adding some Icons for some apps that it doesn't have.
I want to know how exactly can I do this?
I'm using Go launcher, and I saw in another thread a thingy about Go Launcher Theme factory...The problem is, I'm not trying to create a theme, I just want to add the Icons I've made for certain apps to the existing Icon Pack (I'm not planning on uploading it or anything).
Thanks for any help.

Am I wrong...???

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
