but how can this be changed in the rom, before it was flashed? Is there a possibility to use a different launcher by replacing the original launcher.apk in the custom rom with 7zip or winrar, before I flash it?
e.g. i want to change the XperiaLauncher to LauncherPro

Extract the zip (rom), goto system/app/ delete xperia launcher and replace it with launcher pro (as you mentioned in above post).
Also similar for theme goto app in the roms zip and delete the theme, replace by xperia arc.
Rezip the rom and flash..

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.

[Q] How to change launcher

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

XLS7 Jelly Bean - How to extract TW Icons for Nova Launcher?

Hey everybody.
I love the new icons in JellyBean (XLS7) but i use Nova Launcher because i like it more because of Launcher Backups, Folders and so on.
I use Alliance ROM - Is it possible to extract the Icons like Gallery, Camera, Browser and so on - and use them in Nova?
I know i can use png's in Nova but i dont know how to extract the TW Icons
Hope you can help me !
Bye
Erich
Extract the alliancerom.zip and you can find all the apps either in system/app or data/app
For example,If you need to extract the camera icon,then go to system/app/samsungcamera.apk
Then extract samsungcamera.apk and go to res folder
You could see a set of drawable folders and there you can find the app icon:good:

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
