Change icon for an App ( not with an other launcher) - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Devs...
Sry if this is not the right forum but it may have to do with development...
I use mihome as launcher beause in my oppinion MiHome is the best...
the best Browser for me is Dolphin HD but the icon in MiHome is terrible... So how can i replace the icon from dolphin icon to the mihome standart browser icon... I tried to delete browser.apk from system and put dolphin to system an rename it to Browser.apk but unfurtunality with no sucess...
I think I have two ways to solve my Problem
1. MiHome have to think taht dolphin is the standart Browser
2. Edit the Icon from dolphin... But maybe with an update i have the problem again... So what can I do.?
Thx for your Help...

Use 7-zip or APk multi tool
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app

Use Winrar or 7zip to extract app_name_here.apk
Open res\drawable-xdpi
Where x in xdpi is your Device's dpi
Find icon.png or ic_lock_icon.png or whatever png that looks like the app icon
Replace the icon with your desired icon
Zip the app_name_here.apk
Reinstall the app.
OR
~ An easier way do it ~
Open app_name_here.apk using Winrar
Navigate to res\drawable-xdpi
Where x in xdpi is your Device's dpi
Find the app icon and replace with your desired icon
Drag your desired icon to the Winrar window and another window will pop up.
Set compression method to Normal
Press OK
Put new app in SD-Card
Reinstall the app.
Btw. Questions like these, go in the General section.

Icon Pack ID

Does anyone know which icon pack this is in the dock bar, and whether it would work on LP Plus?
They are from the GO launcher. You can extract them from the GO Launcher apk.
How do I do that?

Download the apk from the market, put it on your sdcard with root explorer or something, transfer it to your PC, rename the .apk to .zip and open it to get all the images.
What file do i put them in after i get them ?
What are the pngs names for these 4 icons in the go launcher zip.

Thanks in advance

Download the APK or pull it from your phone, change the file extension from .apk to .zip and extract, it should have files you're looking for.
I believe this is the latest one: http://www.multiupload.com/QZ2I2UZ2NB

Ics folders .??

Hey guys, I am on cm7.1 . I wanna have ics folders on my phone wothout using go launcher ex. Is it possible? How? Tried to seaech on google and xda, with no joy. Hence posted.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I think i'ts not possible ;(
how about ADW Launcher EX? I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but it has ICS style folders.
Yes,use ADW launcher EX ,it's fast ,smooth and it has ICS folder .
Yeah I am currentlly using ADW laucher with an ICS theme, and that has ICS style folders, but you don't get the 'drag and drop onto another app to create folder' feature. Default theme for the launcher won't give you ICS style folders.
Also when u create a folder, u don't get to see the apps inside like ics. U just see a circle.with nothing in it.

Nova Launcher is exactly what you're looking for, search it in the market
Use the new version of adw ex.
It has what u need.

install font changer from mobile and change from the app
i mean the color of the font............

Going through many threads I found some users complaining boot loop by changing their fonts using these types of apps...

I found it's very easy to change fonts...
It requires stock file manager. Now go to change fonts in Cm7 settings. Choose fonts to replace sansdroid

WTF?

If you're not interested in the story.. skip to the last paragraph in red.. like this one.. obviously.
I mean seriously.. Am i the only one with this stupid problem.. I restart the phone after somehow the system crashes..
and find the phone with no launcher.. yah.. actually there's no launcher.. and a continuous bootanimation?
WTF??
Actually.. after i turn the phone On.. the so called Bootanimation keeps playing and playing..
and i can still feel the Unlock slider thing.. that it's there..
Well, the phone is obviously functioning Normally .. but with the bootanimation on.. and on.. and on...... and on.
What i do is.. I miss call my self.. the screen shows that some1 is calling..
after i disconnect or do whatever.. the screens lights up.. and comes back to life.. with NO LAUNCHER.
only whatever i used.. which shows in Recent apps.. If i just could get the damn files explorer up!
Well, now i'm wondering.. is there anyway.. ANYWAY..
i can install a Launcher.. without having to do that through the phone????
or somehow open the files explorer?
If you have no launcher, you should flash one via recovery. Find an update zip with an app (such as a modded music app) and replace that apk with a launcher apk.

Thanks Chris.. But can you provide me with such update.zip.. Please?
I'm so sorry man.
I would do it for you but I'm from the phone right now.
Just get my zip with the xperia fonts. Delete the "fonts" folder which is inside the "system" folder.
Now, create a folder on your desktop and name it "app", lower case! Put the apk of the launcher you want there.
Next, drag that folder into the "system" folder of my zip.
So now it's zip/system/app/thelauncher.apk
Flash that and you should have a launcher now.
