[Q] Icons

I just got my phone and im wondering how to change the icons. I changed the ones on my dock using LauncherPro, but is it possible to change ALL the icons at once? Including applications (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Gtalk, etc.)

There are a few apps (you'll need to have your icons already). Desktop Visualizer is one that I know of.

I have the icons I want to use already and I also tried Desktop Visualizer, when I click to find the icons, it says nothing is found. But I can see all the icons in the gallery.

So, you click on DV from the app launcher then Select Icon > Image File and it does not immediately open your gallery?

Correct, it says icon pack not found. Is it possible to do ALL icons at once, or do you have to do them one by one?

[Q] Top 10 must have apps

Hi guys new to the forum and new to android, should be getting my LG tomorrow . I was wondering what your top ten apps are for the LGo 2x. I did see some other threads for other phones but maybe because of the awsome power you would be using other apps for this one ?
Or after rooting what shoud be the first apps to install ?
Anyway thanks in advance for the advise..

There's no need to use Chrome - you could use it for Firefox with Fox2Phone. It uses the official extension, just makes it usable in Firefox.
Out of interest: Why are you recommending Dolphin Mini? The 2x has no problems with handling Dolphin Browser HD which I am currently using - is there a reason to switch?
