yes, you have to decompile the apk and change values in some resource files. I did it before (raising the values to 6x7) for my Rom and many other members across different devices/forums
There is definitely no exact tutorial how to do it. But if you search you'll find all the necessary entries to change. Of course you need the knowledge about de/compiling the apk.

The easiest method is to download the XPosed framework by @rovo89. Then install the launcher 4x5 module.
Use Google to find xposed download link.

The first one is also a theme, not the launcher.
It can be used with trebuchet
Here are the steps to use themes :
1.Install the theme
2. go to settings--> apps-->trebuchet
3. click on "clear data"
4.Then without going to home screen, go back to settings(by using back button)--> themes
5. Now choose the theme you want to apply and enjoy

u mean change only icons ? if thats the case , then u need a theme manager to change the theme. some themes change only icons, some change everything. but the icon set is inside a theme. themes support specific launchers. so its possible that ur favorite launcher doesnt support ur favorite theme ( for the icons ). the other way around is to use a root explorer and change every little icon manually inside apks.

well... I want to change only the app launcher button icon (u can c in the pic that I attached) and I don't want to change the original rom launcher.
so I guess ill need to do it in the other way that you mentioned.
if u can tell me what to change and where to change (what apk 2 change) it would be great.

Better yet, you can make your own theme. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44609532
You can get everything you need to know about making your own theme there.
BTW, thanks for searching the Forum/Web first, because some people just don't.
Good luck

if u know what u are looking for then u can find it. the app launcher is not what u are looking for. its called App Drawer. so u are looking for android App Drawer icon.

the stock one is LGHome3.apk.
since u use an alternative launcher look for it in data/app. apps u install go there. in system/app are the system apps that have root access.

well I found it as u said, it's LGHome3.apk.
used ninjamorfh, exchanged the icons, finished my project and wooow: I soft brick my phone
the launcher disappeared and after reset it was stuck in the logo.
so after about 4-5 nervous hours of pushing apk thru adb, recovery, software reset, wiping it all , download rom, flash stock rom with kdz,
restore my 120 apps, restoring backup files, I was able to bring my 4x back to life as it was before.
so conclusion :
some things don't worth to **** with :laugh: LOL
if u want to change ur app drawer icon don't be hard headed like me, create a theme or install a launcher that can do it.
anyway,
anyone that helped me in this thread .....thanks

i guess there is a reason why there is no app that can change manually the app drawer icon, It could get messy.
I used ninjamorph app (root app), it should decompile/recompile the apk automatically.

if it is only for icon , u can just treat the apk as if it was a zip. just open it with the zip manager and force the icon to replace the one u want.

this is the correct method:
If it gets installed already says xdalabs click the uninstall button from theme app page on xdalabs.
Instructions:
-Open your samsung theme store and leave it running on the background (to not clear on recent menu)
-Open the theme link with Xdalabs app and download theme
-Install the theme and click done
-comeback to Samsung theme store by Settings app (themes and wallpaper option) and see if the theme is there
No need reboot
*if its really not there after doing these, this is sad.
