hi... i just wanna ask if there is an app or widget that can be use to change icon permanently.. not just when you display it on home screen. i tried Better Cut. but it only change icon that displayed on home screen. but when you look at your drawer it is still the same. so it useless because i have ADW Launcher and in it i can do that already... so any suggestion of an app i can use ? =)
there isnt im afraid. you would need to modify the apk file to change the apps icon permanently. this means if you like to keep up to date with the latest app releases you wouldnt be able to as it would need to be registered as a different app if i remember right
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has been able to do this on the stock HTC Sense app drawer. I've been looking at tutorials and it seems like they are only for the app drawers with 3rd party launchers.
If anyone has had success in changing the icons, let me know.
Thanks
Well you can change the icons for every app, but you need to do it manually.
So grab the apk change the icon and push it back.
This will take i guess quite some time to do it, and all your hard work will be gone if you have an update for that app.
Maybe an other option is to use MetaMorph, prepare there all the icons you need for each app and then run it whenever you had an update.
Maybe there are already a few themes around for MetaMorph. Don't know about that, not interested myself to change all the icons in my app drawer.
So I'm on Crash ROM and I want to change the icons of some of the apps (Phone, contacts messaging etc.) to the ones like the S3 and Note 2. How do I do this? I don't want to use desktop visualiser as it means I won't get the notification on the icon if i get a message for example. I have the image files if that helps.
An easiest way is to install a launcher and s3 theme on it
If you dont like to install launchers then,try this

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the home button icon, i.e rather than a picture of a little house, have say a car, or writing like "Xperia", or anything else?
Also, is it possible to just change the app icons, rather than having a launcher to change the whole home screen like Nova Launcher. I like the way I have arranged my apps and widgets etc, and I use my own pictures for backgrounds, I would just like to use different icons for the apps?
Thanks - I am new to the forum so apologies - I am not a developer, have not rooted my phone and don't know what to do with apk ?

O.K, let's simplify this...
Root device and install xposed framework.
Install Xperia xposed module and you'll be able to change home button/icon.
Install Unicon, xposed module to change apps icons.
Download themes from market (for ADW launcher) and use those themes icons.
- You'll get it once you open unicon -
There are other ways to change app icons and home button, decompiling apk and change ongs (assets) in xxhdpi folder but without root there's no chance to do that...
And yeah...you are in wrong section buddy..
Use Q&A for this types if threads.
You can change the home/back etc. buttons by changing your xperia specific theme in the appearance section in your settings. I personally have applied an Android L theme and have the official 5.0 square, triangle and circle.
As for the icons, I don't think so, unless you're willing to install a custom launcher. I recommend nova, you can categorize your apps just as efficiently if not more with the Prime version.
This is the way to go if you don't want to root your device as the upper poster suggested.
The best way is changing theme apperance.
There's an app on the Play Store called Softkeyz which dies exactly that.

"unicon" app (xposed module) can change app icons in xperia home launcher. download any icon pack and apply it
``
you can change it by rooting your phone , and xposed installed . then you use module 'xStana'{Recommended} or 'XPERIA/AOSP NavBar Button' for the softkey , you can change what you like .
I've started utilizing Google Now quite a bit lately. And now I would really like to get back to using the Google Now launcher. However, It's still missing 2 key features in stock form. I'm looking to see if anyone has a solid work around for them, that doesn't hinder performance.
1) Change icon theme
2) Change icon size
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Icon changer on the playstore
Thanks, but it looks like it only changes/resizes the icon on the desktop and not the app drawer. Am I doing something wrong?
You can just drag icons out of app drawer first . you can't have it already there
