[Q] Installing icons...?

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

I don't see any difference. But whatever, haha.

Or, HOW TO DO I IN ADW.LAUNCHER:
1. Have the icon image you want to use on your sdcard.
2. Long-Press on empty space on the home screen
3. Choose Custom Shortcut.
3. Press "Pick your activity"
4. Choose what you want the shortcut to do.
5. Press the icon.
6. Choose "Select Picture"
7. Find and select icon
8. Rename if wanted
9. Done

Launcher Pro Dock Icons

Do anyone know how i can only have one icon setup instead of like 5???

Just long press the space, choose change shortcut and click blank.

adw ex dock icon square to dots

im using adw ex 1.22 is there a way to change the square little home window
to dots like launcher pro

I played with mine and can't find a way to change the actual app drawer icon. You can change every single other icon to whatever you can possibly think of but not that one. Thats interesting.... hhhuuuummmmmm...... update? lol!

if you're talking about the app drawer icon, then yes, you can change it. Just long press the home screen> Launcher Actions> Open/Close App Drawer. Then there will be a laucner icon on your homescreen. Long press that, then release in place. Choose edit. Click the icon. Choose whatever icon you want. Then Place the new launcher shortcut on the dock.

On mine I can just long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon?

if you want to get the icon, you should download a theme first, just type"adw theme" in Market, choose one, and download,
long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon

thanks for replies got it working now as i want it now

Any way to do this?

Without using a separate app, is there a way to link desktop visualizer to open the app drawer of ADW launcher? I know you can long press on the home screen, and press launcher actions, then click open app drawer and change that icon, but I want it bigger, so I need to use DVR. I know I can link DVR to Alt Drawer, since that is a separate app, but I would prefer to use the default ADW app drawer. I've tried all the shortcuts for ADW from the custom shortcuts menu, and none of them open the app drawer, so that's not a option. Any ideas?

How about creating the wallpaper with the icon you wan inserted, then overlay it with a transparent icon of the app drawer.

wallpaper option opens themes app

I can´t change my lockscreen now.
I´m not sure what I did, but now when I press the wallpaper option in settings, it only opens the themes app. It used to open a different menu where I could choose the wallpaper for the lockscreen or the homescreen.
