Hey guys. Simply put, how do I install an icon pack?
I just got myself an Evo 4g a few days ago. I want to install some new icon packs to further customize my UI, but I have no idea how. My phone is not rooted, and i'm nervous about rooting it because I don't want it to brick.
Here's what apps I'm actively running: LauncherPro Plus, SwitchPro Widget, Moxier World, Tajm, Snowstorm Weather, Simply Lockscreen, & Battstatt.
I really like LauncherPro Plus, but I want my UI to look sleek, attractive, and simple.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
How to Change Icons!
Alright so what I do is I use the app FolderOrganizer. You can create folders and you can choose custom icons or icons that they have to make your phone more "sleek". BUT the better part of this app is that you can edit icons for apps too.
//How to Change Apps icons\\
1. Download or create icons (sized 64x64)
2. Put them onto your SD card.
3. Download FolderOrganizer
4. Once the app is open click on the Apps section.
5. Find the app or apps that you want to change.
6. Long press the app you've selected.
7. Click the last option that says "Change Icon"
8. It will bring up four or five options (assuming you download your icons in a folder on your SD card) click "Android Image Gallery"
9. Find the icon you want to change it to.
10. It will save
11. Press home button and get into the add to homescreen menu (long press)
12. Click add shortcut
13. Go down the list till you get to "FolderOrganizer Item"
14. Then click the "Apps" option
15. Then find the app that you changed the icon of.
16. Then the app will show up on your homescreen with the changed icon!
***This will not change the look of the icon in the app drawer!!!***
***This is not the only app that will do this, but in my opinion it is the easiest***
So, call me a retard, but after a ton of searching both these forums and google, I can't seem to figure out how to install icon packs such as mnml text and simp text by ultralinx. Any help would be appreciated.
You cant actually change icons in the app drawer (correct me if im wrong) you use the icons for launcher pro docks or desktop visualiser etc
If you want to change icons on the launcher pro dock, hold diwn on the dock shortcut, click on change icon and select custom icon and choose your icon.
Hope that helps!

Yes that's exactly what I want to do, but my question was what, exactly, I do with the zip files I've downloaded.
Not sure if this is the right answer to your question but I use an app called Better Cut to replace icons on my phone.
HOW TO USE CUSTOM ICONS
First of all, you need Launcher Pro and Desktop Visualizer.
You can get both of these at the marked for free. You might want to unlock Launcher Pro Plus as it has some cool features and widgets.
WinRAR is pretty much mandatory.
1) Get a hold of some icons. They usually come in .zip format, so you'll have to unzip them. You can do this by right clicking and pressing "Extract here".
2) Now that you've got a folder, you can delete the .zip file. Connect your phone to the computer and copy the folder onto your SD card.
3) Find your icons in either gallery or a file explorer
If you've got LauncherPro and want to change the dock icons, you do it like this:
- Long press on the icon you wish to change
- Choose custom icon from the menu
- Find your icon in either Gallery or FileManager
- Done!
Long press your homescreen, choose widgets scroll to Desktop Visualizer, choose a size - Find your icon, choose your application, tweak the settings.
And you're done. You've now made a shortcut on your homescreen with a custom icon.
Hope this helped.

Or you could choose 'shortcut'.
I've found that this makes the icons look smoother,
but I'm not sure what's the difference =P

3. Go back to OMC, under "set widget theme" reload the theme catalog and choose the Valentine Kiss theme.
* Widget size is 4x2. Feel free to go to "personalize theme" to move elements around... the donate version has other sizes like the 4x4 shown.
