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

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?
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.
How would I go on about taking the Icon package from MIUI theme, "Glowbusters" to use on ADW Ex? So that all the images would automatically change the actual app icon in the app-drawer? As well as giving apps without a dedicated image to have the same background+icon style as everything else?
I believe this is it: http://www.miui-dev.com/forums/show...Busters-5.0-TEAM-KOMMINATED-FIXED-TO-KICK-ASS
I'm aware it's for MIUI but all the icons are included in a folder within the archive, I was hoping to use it on Froyo+ADW Ex
Load the images into your gallery,
All the icons you want to change should be on one of your homescreens.
hold the icon you want to change until the mini popup menu comes up.
select edit and then press on the stock icon.
go to gallery and you should be able to select new icon.
I'm about 3 sheets to the wind right now so I really hope that is understandable
Yeah it's understandable, but what I mean is for the icons to automatically apply to the apps in the appdrawer not the icons on my homescreen. Then having it already applied in the appdrawer, if I were to bring those icons to my homescreen the icon would remain as well.
It sounds theme related where I would have to customize an adw-ex theme package or something
Ah, I see... you'd have to get someone to make an ADW theme as far as I believe. I was only on MIUI for about a day but I could've sworn that the icons changed in the drawer on adw... Are you using MIUI? If you still have the captivate, there is a port of it in the cappy forums
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.
how do i use the easily available icon packs? i have found a number of icon packs, but dont know how to use them! i would like to change my homescreen AND app drawer icons, can i do that without rooting? is it possible without using any launcher?
i am currently using Go Launcher, can i change the theme icons? This icon pack is for Go Launcher as well. And this one is zip folder pack, how do i use this for my apps?
or do i need to install any other launcher?
please tell me in detail here or link me to a beginner's guide, im reallyy noob at this, and NO i wont be rooting my phone for this.
thanks

To use icon packs which are in apk format, you have install them like any other app and then use any custom launcher like Go/Apex/Nova to apply them via their theme chooser.
To apply icons which you get in a zip, you'll have to use desktop visualizer.
I made a video on how to apply icon packs.
I have a few icon themes of my own. Check play store link and the last line in my signature.
Well, you can use Go Launcher to change app icons, it also supports icons which is included in themes you use. you can have multiple themes installed in your phone and use those themed icons simultaneously, just not in the app drawer since app drawer only allows 1 theme at a time, homescreen does not have this limitation though.
You can also use Custom Icons which you can customize depending on what kind of style you have in mind. You can use these icons to change your homescreen and dock icons. Do not fear, none of these requires anything like rooting(Though in time you will find yourself being curious about it and eventually rooting your phone, take note, it's not a bad thing! It actually is the best thing to do if want to unleash the inner Android of you device! :good.
You can PM me if you have further questions, I also use Go Launcher btw.
