get a homescreen replacement from the market, like adw or launcher pro, then download the pack of icons to a folder on your phone, then manually change each one from your phone.
at least thats how i do it.
with adw you just long press the icon until you get a menu selection, then hit edit, then click on the icon, then find the image you want to replace it with
I believe you will have to use a new home laucher like launcher pro, go launcher or awd. They allow you to replace the icons. Also you will need an app like andro zip to unpack the zip file the icons are in. After unpacking they will be in your gallery.

When i'm cooking a Custom ROM for my i9000,
does anyone know how to change the custom appearance of my LauncherPro when I freshly install it? So I don't have to restore the backup.
Better explained:
I changed my LauncherPro with a lot of Custom Icons (with Desktop Visualizer).
When I was done, I made a Backup (folder "launcherpro_backup" on /sdcard).
Now when I want to share my ROM, the User starts LauncherPro and SHOULD already see all my Icons/Themes etc.
How to do this?
Dont launcher pro warns you that widgets cant be restored?
Id say probably some kind kind of after install scrip, but still pre boot that will copy some files across.
If u decompile the apk, u'll find a default something xml in layout if i recall.
Honestly, id suggest u share your backup and try this Link

Thank you for this great hint!

I absolutely hate the Galaxy S Icons. is there ANY way to get the icons?
I'm using Perception Build 7.
EDIT: I should add, I know I can use ADW Launcher but I hate the update, and I hate what the creator of the AOSP theme did to the theme.. I just want the icons so I can use Launcher pro. I prefer the 3D app drawer.
Find a stock Nexus One ROM (like FRG83), pull the AOSP icons out of the system apks. Unzip the ROM package you're using and drop the AOSP icons in the system apks. Overwrite the system apks on your phone with the updated ones. Don't think there's really a quick way to do it.

yeah that sounds like a long process. But I'M WILLING TO DO IT, IF IT GETS RID OF THE GALAXY S ICONS!
My ROM has them out of the box if you're unwilling to change them all manually.

where does one find the AOSP icons in the system apks?
It's usually in drawable-hdpi.
What I done was downloaded the Morph- "Nero Blue AOSP" or "Vanilla Android" from the Vibrant themes/apps section... just use it for replacing app icons only, apply each one seperate, don't run it as a batch or it will install the included framework-res which will probley screw up some stuff..it worked great for me, replaced all icons to AOSP icons..

Hi last question then im nearly finished making my rom...
How do i get rid of LGHome and add go launcher??? and how do i change the launchers icons..
thanks again
Open your rom zip file, navigate to /system/app/
remove LGHome.apk, and add GoLauncher.apk
(I think that the launchers' permissions will be changed, but if not, change it's name to LGHome.apk)
or you can just keep LGhome and let users choose whatever launcher we want, dont you think?
think we should leave the stock lg launcher, you should be able to choose just add golauncher

using adb pull \system\framework\framework-res.apk, open as it were a .zip file, look for the current background in some drawable folder, replace it but don't change anything else inside the apk, push back to phone.
If you did something wrong you will get a bootloop, so keep a original copy of the apk file.

If you are using Apex launcher, go to Settings>Launcher>Drawer settings>Drawer background transparency and move the slider to 0%.
Thanks for the answer, I was looking for this ( I just bought HD2)

it's possible... i use winrar to open up apk's.... open up Nova via winrar and check the drawable-hdpi folder... you will need hdpi size pngs and replace them with the one's in the folder thats how you will change the UI look of it
