as i said how can i change this icon (app drawer) and also i want to change the status bar to the blue one although my mobile isnt rooted
Thanks
If you want to customize your app icons. You can download the launcher like Nova, Apex and icon packages. I can't post the links here but you can search. There are tons of threads regardless of this. Cheer

You can't change the icon, and even if you were rooted it would be very difficult. The status bar requires root to do anything with it.

I haven't applied any themes yet to a ROM, so this is a newb question:
Pretty sure the wallpaper can be changed, but can any launcher (i.e., LP) be used without affecting the appearance?
Thanks
Edit: was trying to figure from screenshots, but appears I can?
Yes, the theme on most roms change the notification bar, settings, dialer, etc. these things do not impact the launcher.

Status bar is not an independent app. Does your titanium backup shows you any statusbar app?

I know lol,actually I didn't tell what I wanted :facepalm:
What I want to tell is that you can't simply freeze statusbar because there will be side effects,like force closes,its not like a regular app that you freeze with titanium backup.

Nope.. To do it outside of the sense launcher. You'll probably have to wait for an aokp or rootbox rom.

Does anyone know the directory/folder where the "app drawer" icon is located? I plan to modify/change the icon to match the rest of my icons and theme. I dont want to use a launcher I just would like to locate the file so that if possible, I can change it manually.

Oh, bro, if you can figure that out, you have to let me know! I've been searching up and down for a way to change that bastard. I haven't found it either. It's like LG buried it in the deepest, darkest file it could find just to mess with us...

Yeah, I know, it seems like they really didn't want that app drawer icon messed with. But now that I think about it , I may be completely wrong. It may not even be an icon at all but maybe something more like a widget.

As far as im concerned everything is "changable" on the phone, its just a matter of how far your willing to go to change it. One way or another I will get all my icons to match, including the app drawer icon, and i'll be sure to post how i did it here.

Have you tried this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad I think it may work for icons one by one, I think I've read about people using it for the app drawer icon. For applying icon packs system wide, the Xposed module Unicon is great for that. Especially the beta version, it has the ability to use icons from multiple packs using the custom icon assignment feature. Theming the app drawer icon is also a plan for the future, just currently not available.

I use Unicon and it does theme the icons, works great actually.
I haven't tried the posted app though.
I'll look for the beta version of Unicon, could see the fun in changing icons using different packs.

@njstein Here's a link to the community. http://goo.gl/RA3LkC Make sure to uninstall the current version before using the beta. New package name. Eventually the current Unicon app is going to just become a pro key.

Thanks for the info, I like the app. I just flashed a new ROM so I'll be making use of it here soon. And theming the app drawer icon would be a great addition to the xposed module. Right now to get the look I want (all icons being same shape and size) I have to switch between themes that use either a round appdrawer icon or a square one. And then have to have all round icons or all square icons otherwise the appdrawer icon sticks out like a sore thumb. But the app you referred helps to find matching icons, thank you. I'll check out the xposed module too, probably tomorrow.

I'm thinking now that the app drawer icon is actually part of the theme more so then an actual icon. Could be wrong but would explain why there is no actual icon anywhere.

I'd think the themes for the LG launcher work similar to Nova launcher themes. Skinning images in the LG launchers res folder. If you browse through the LG launcher apk you should see a res folder, with other folders inside. Somewhere there would be a app drawer icon. Usually to replace that, you have to use something like apk tool to decompile the launcher apk, change the launcher icon to whatever you want and recompile and install the apk, or go through the same method with a launcher theme. Decompiling it and so on. Which might be a little easier. I've never browsed through the LG launcher, but that's how it works on other launchers usually. The icon changer app would be a far easier approach if it actually works. But I'm not 100% sure it will since I haven't actually tried it.

That information is very much appreciated. That is exactly the info I've been looking for. I just came over to android from iOS so I'm still getting familiar with everything. I run Linux on my PC though so I'm picking it up quick. Anyways thanks again for the info.
Icons are not stored in the system. They are pulled from the apk files and then listed in the app drawer. This is all done via the XML and java files in the system.apk and then the application.apk. There isnt a way to just swap out a icon unless you use a modding app or you decompile the apk and rebuild with a new icon. If you want a perm way of change the icon, you can pull the apk from your phone and then open it with 7zip, and then just replace the icons in the /res.drawable-* folder. Other then that you need a modding app
The app drawer icon was the only icon I was having trouble figuring out how to customize. I really appreciate the information you provided already but do you happen to have information pertaining to the app drawer icon itself?
