Hey guys, I love Nova launcher and wanna keep using it, but I really want to change the AppDrawer background.
Yes I know I can set it to be transparent - but I dont want that.
I want one background for the home screen and another one for the AppDrawer.
Did anyone ever do that ?
I think that will be hard to do unless you decompile the apk and whatnot. I would recommend you to go to the Nova thread and request it there. If people want it, it may get implemented in the future.

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has been able to do this on the stock HTC Sense app drawer. I've been looking at tutorials and it seems like they are only for the app drawers with 3rd party launchers.
If anyone has had success in changing the icons, let me know.
Thanks
Well you can change the icons for every app, but you need to do it manually.
So grab the apk change the icon and push it back.
This will take i guess quite some time to do it, and all your hard work will be gone if you have an update for that app.
Maybe an other option is to use MetaMorph, prepare there all the icons you need for each app and then run it whenever you had an update.
Maybe there are already a few themes around for MetaMorph. Don't know about that, not interested myself to change all the icons in my app drawer.
anyone knows if its possuble to add like a backdrop or overlay to all the default icons to get a more unified look?
or would i nees to manually change every icon?

use launcher pro ..you can get it from the market..it automatically gives frames to the icons wen you click it..or MIUI rom gives permanent frames..more like the apple iphone icons!
U could do that with lp? I never found that but please report back how.
I currently use go launcher that, if u use an icon theme like classic or suave (which I highly raccomend), does just that to all the icons that are not supported by the theme directly.
It's actually a really good launcher but my favorite remains lp.
Hi there!
I really like the HTC Sense and dont wanna replace it with another launcher.
There is only one thing i dont like with sense.. The appdrawer, I want to be able to create folders in the appdrawer, in the same way in samsung devices and so on...
Is there any MODs for that, to create folders in appdrawer?
//Holm
Probably not in the drawer but on the screens. I could be wrong, I just never seen a mod like this myself.
····· LG G2X · MIUI ·····
I want an app drawer replacement aswell. Alt Drawer keeps crashing and the dev stopped supporting it.
All Apps Organizer is what I use. Awesome app! Though, Super App Manager might be more what you're looking for...
I don't see a way to do so on the one....maybe i'm missing something. Does anyone know?

HTC Launcher doesn't let you do that, you will need a 3rd party launcher.
I downloaded Nova Launcher from the Play Store. it will allow you to resize widgets
It depends on the widget but with the stock launcher when I added my calendar widget, I just held my finger on it, a blue border appeared and I stretched it to fill one of my screens.
Some widgets don't allow resizing by default and you need another launcher but ones like the calendar do.
Thank You Everyone
That kind of bums me out a bit... don't get me wrong i love some other launchers and stuff but i kind of like having my blinkfeed etc and keeping my phone like it currently is, just wish this was a function built in.....
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the home button icon, i.e rather than a picture of a little house, have say a car, or writing like "Xperia", or anything else?
Also, is it possible to just change the app icons, rather than having a launcher to change the whole home screen like Nova Launcher. I like the way I have arranged my apps and widgets etc, and I use my own pictures for backgrounds, I would just like to use different icons for the apps?
Thanks - I am new to the forum so apologies - I am not a developer, have not rooted my phone and don't know what to do with apk ?

O.K, let's simplify this...
Root device and install xposed framework.
Install Xperia xposed module and you'll be able to change home button/icon.
Install Unicon, xposed module to change apps icons.
Download themes from market (for ADW launcher) and use those themes icons.
- You'll get it once you open unicon -
There are other ways to change app icons and home button, decompiling apk and change ongs (assets) in xxhdpi folder but without root there's no chance to do that...
And yeah...you are in wrong section buddy..
Use Q&A for this types if threads.
You can change the home/back etc. buttons by changing your xperia specific theme in the appearance section in your settings. I personally have applied an Android L theme and have the official 5.0 square, triangle and circle.
As for the icons, I don't think so, unless you're willing to install a custom launcher. I recommend nova, you can categorize your apps just as efficiently if not more with the Prime version.
This is the way to go if you don't want to root your device as the upper poster suggested.
The best way is changing theme apperance.
There's an app on the Play Store called Softkeyz which dies exactly that.

"unicon" app (xposed module) can change app icons in xperia home launcher. download any icon pack and apply it
``
you can change it by rooting your phone , and xposed installed . then you use module 'xStana'{Recommended} or 'XPERIA/AOSP NavBar Button' for the softkey , you can change what you like .
