how to change andriod apps icons

You have to decompile the app, change the icon and compile it again.
If you cant do this, I think there is also an app at the play store

You can use launcher pro or other with an option to hide icon in app drawer if that what u mean.
Or u could just uninstall the app
you can use another launcher or so to hide them ....or you can UNINSTALL them if you are rooted...

There are many launchers on Play Store which have the capibility of hiding apps!
Such as Go launcher etc

[Q] Change icon of installed app

Hi,
the icon dock of the HTC One launcher apperently only allows to place installed apps on it instead of using shortcuts created on the home screen.
So you have to stick with what ever icon this app comes with (not using e.g. icon changer).
Now I wonder if there is a way, or if any one chould help me changing the default icon of an app (maxthon browser) to the default internet icon of the HtC one.
I have already tried some methods but the modded apk file won't install...
Thanks in advance!
I found a solution that finally worked...

You'd need to install a custom launcher such as Apex or Nova. With them it gives you the ability to change any app icons that you'd like to.
As far as I'm aware, it can't be done without other launchers which means you can't keep stock sense which comes with the One.
if you want the Stock launcher, you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImpwLmNvLmJpaS5hbmRyb2lkLmFwcC5kc2t2enIiXQ..

I did not use a custom launcher.
If you want to change the icon, you can open the apk with e.g. winrar. The issue I apparently had, was that after altering the apk file, the application is not properly signed anymore. So it does not install. So I found a way to do this.
Anyway, as far as I learned during this process, this can also be used to sign whatever you like and make it install on your device, including soffware not legally obtained. Therefore, I would prefer not to share this solution. Sorry.
If you want change the icons of one app, you can decompile this, change the icon and recompile.
This will work.
I use this method for some apps
Change the Maxthon icon with stock Browser icon is simple

I always forget about that method as it's just easier to use a launcher

Sure!
But, if someone like sense and he will change an icon and he have to change launcher, is better use this method
If you are rooted there's a app called icon themer that will change icons in stock

Easy way to apply icon pack to MIUI stock launcher?

u could just try the inbuilt MIUI theme engine u can apply wallpapers, icon packs or whole themes separately, no root or other mods necessary.
I was not quite specific - i want to apply icon pack download from Google Play, not those from MIUI Theme. When i open a app, there no option to apply icons from phone.

I am using the same MI Max 2 variant, usually the theme engine works just fine for me but it seems in your case you want something more.
Install the theme pack that you want (the one that you mentioned in the thread or any other would do fine as well)
Download and install the "MIUI theme editor" app from play store, from there on pick on any theme (you can import .MTZ files also) hit next. Once there, hit the "Apps Icon" > "Import whole Icon Pack" , you will be able to select/use any icon packs that you have installed. Hit, Back>Next>Finish (will display a pop up saying "do you want to install and use the theme now? hit OK).
Go to themes, you will see the theme you edited, apply the theme and "voilĂ "
You're welcome
jbmc83, i know can use Nova launcher and add icons by my choice, but like MIUI Launcher and prefer to stay on it.
xinie, all works fine, but some icons won't change - camera, gallery, messages, dialer... Way to solve this? Thanks.
There is also an option to change specific app icons in that theme editor, i can't get it working for some reason but give it a try

As far as I know, no. Even substratum themes don't change them.
Download the app 'navbar apps' from the play store.

If you have issues getting that good lock stuff to work, there's also The SystemUI Tuner app on the Play Store, but it requires a couple ADB commands to give it permissions first.
