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?

I'm wondering how i can change some of the systems icons.
I have placed some shortcuts on my homescreen and i want to change the icons for the dialer shortcut, music shortcut, and battery status shortcut.
But how can i do this?
I've downloaded Desktop Visualizer but this doesn't do it how i want i to do it.
And the icons should be 72*72 pixels right?
u need to install REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.3b. that will allow u do everything.
u need programs and icons to modify,
REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.5. thats now
Sounds like Overloaded just wants to change the icons for homescreen shortcuts, rather than change actual system icons (like for notification bar etc).
If this is ture and you just want to change homescreen shortcut icons then try BetterCut, or it's free version AnyCut.
You can find both on the Market or AppBrain.
You will then need to find some icons and put them on a folder on your SD card.
You can get them yourself from the web, find them in the Android Themes section on XDA, or download them in packs from the Market (no need to install these to SD as they install to the phone like an app would).
If you do want to change the proper system icons then do what the other guys said and try a custom ROM
can anybody help me with a guide etc. im trying to create an icon pack for desktop visuliser i have searched a fair bit but still nothing, im currently applying icons by selecting image from the menu, is there any way of creating an icon set so that it shows up in the menu "icon pack" from within desktop vis, also is there a way of putting the packs on the market place?
The only icon packs available are from the developer of the app. If I were you, I'd contact the dev about either finding a work around or maybe send the dev the icons to see if they'd like to package them up for release.
The way you're doing it now is the way it's supposed to be done. I use Desktop Visualizer for different sizing options, but I use Folder Organizer far more. In Folder Organizer (the paid version) you can assign each app its own icon, and then place it on your homescreen as a widget or shortcut.
I'd like to change the default icons, Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Applications and Home.
I tried Desktop Visualizer but it just adds icons to the home screen.
My phone is rooted, so is it possible to locate them and overwrite the files?
Thanks.
Try Go Launcher..
Thanks, I tried that, but I just want to change the icons, I've searched the root but can't identify them.
Ok, so I wanted a better email app than the stock MIUI one, and everyone keeps recommending K9 mail. Thing is, I hate the app icon for it. I worked out that I should be able to use Desktop Visualizer to create a shortcut on the desktop which points to K9, but uses another icon.
Thing is I can create a widget using DV (Long press on screen, select DVwidget etc), however I can't place widgets in the launcher bar. I tried opening the DV app and trying to create a shortcut that way, but when I hit 'Ok' to complete the operation, nothing happens. It just returns to the homescreen and no shortcut is created.
To further complicate things I have had this work once. It just randomly appeared on the desktop a few minutes after creating it, and I was able to move that into the launcher. Now I want to change the icon (again) but as you can see, I'm not having much luck.
Am I missing something here? I know MIUI doesn't have shortcuts on it's desktop, but if that was the case I don't see how I could have got it to work at all?
Any thoughts?

Yeah, i'm thinking how an app icon can invoke such a strong emotion as hate for it. Could we get a screenshot? Share the hate
I do agree that the icon is kinda ugly .
That is a terrible icon ...

What i would suggest (this is what i used to do while using MIUI), is to use an application called "App Drawer" meant specially for MIUI.
Link t=1154299http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
it is only as it states, an app drawer like all regular android phones.
This way you will have a dedicated app drawer & this will help in not cluttering up your home screens.
All icons on your home screen can be inserted into a single folder as these are the actual apps & not shortcuts.
Deleting would mean uninstalling.
so use the app drawer, send the shortcuts to your home screen & use any app for changing the icon like the ones inbuilt in ADW, Nova launchers.
...or you could just swap out the k9 icon for one you like. Use a theme (or make a blank one if you're fond of default) and theme the app name icon with a mail icon (or any icon) you think is nice
theme mtz - icons folder - use a .png and name it com.fsck.k9.apk
(if that doesn't work, the real app name is com.fsck.k9-1.apk)
