If you are just using the Sense 3.6 launcher, no it is not possible. The installation and usage of icon packs is only through the use of custom launchers like Nova, Apex, or ADW.

Icon packs with default launcher
We've created a new (free) app which allows one to use custom icon packs for home screen icons with default launcher and no rooting.
Please check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.momocode.shortcuts
I'm sorry you'll have to copy and paste that link; I'm new and it appears I'm not allowed to post formatted links yet.

Is there a way to do it in bulk? And for it to affect the app drawer as well?

Unfortunately to change the icons in the app drawer, you either need root for your app or a custom app drawer (custom launcher).
There is a way to add many icons to home screen at once, but it limits the possibilities for the look somewhat and doesn't allow one to hide the name label like we've done. We have some plans to add this as an alternative, though.

I dont like ADW but thanks anyway
I use "Go Launcher" with CM7 along with "Go SMS" and "Go Chat" which you can send free texts, files etc with Go Chat/ SMS. Never had any problems with it
I use touchwiz 4.5 or a full Golauncher environment when I'm on Cm7 but already tried this stock nexus launcher that was working fine as far as I've seen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517
Regarding all the stuffs included in or removed by the cwm zip I think it's better to extract the apk from it

I've installed the Launcher2.apk but I cant choose it :S It doesn't appear on the list ...
Put it in system/app?
I don't remember very well but if it says "application is not installed" (something like that,t'm french...) when you click on the apk then it has to be put in system/app.
Otherwise it's just that you have to press the big central home button of your phone after install,tick "choose by default" and choose this launcher.
Home switcher a nice app too to easily test launchers.

Please help.. sorry for my english im studying.
You don't need launcher 2 to do that. Just any customizable launcher such as launcherpro or ADW. Then you can recreate that style.

Read the actual description of the app in market, you'll see it says not all widgets etc are a part of the theme. But it does provide all links of where to get them. Follow the links.

Install Go Launcher Ex and launch it. Now use link2sd or es file explorer or any root uninstaller to delete your existing launcher.
NOTE: DO NOT delete your current launcher before installing the new one

In addition to what saeed14i said....i would like to suggest that you convert your newly installed Go Launcher Ex to system app....you should have atleast one launcher as system app and as you're deleting the previous one, this is safer....
As far as the live wallpaper problem is concerned.......

Request: Stock Launcher theme ICS/Jelly Style

Hello everybody,
first of all i want to apologize for asking for it. But i definately can not do it myself.
I´m just looking for an .apk theme for stock Optimus UI which replaces the app drawer icon with the stock nexus style one,
cause i don´t like the default ones. That´s eveything i need, all the other desktop icons can be changed via Optimus UI launcher.
So if anyone has the same interest and likes to do something like this i would be more than happy.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Daniel
Nova launcher or apex launcher
There is an app in lg smart world by it you can download themes for the stock launcher , made by lg .
I don't remember the name maybe "theme box" or something like that

Are you rooted? If yes, just copy and replace original file via es file explorer or total commander to /system/app
If you're not rooted then you can't install it.

Yeah i know, but unless i am not rooted i can not use widget drawer to place widgets on homescreen. It will be possible when we get jelly update till end of march (i hope/want to believe). But i really favour stock launcher so i think about root and have a try with this custon biz theme.

Well, not entirely true, you can still use the Widget drawer, cept it's going to be the Gingerbread style one. But yes, in order to have a true stock ICS or JB experience I guess we have to wait till LG updates roll out.
If you don't wanna root. I sure don't. Not yet atleast.

In which way do they not work?
There was a theme patch in the CM10 thread
Every theme I've installed, when I tap on "apply" says "This theme was improperly..." and I can't apply it.
I've tried to apply system theme, then reboot, apply another theme and reboot again, but it doesn't work

There is a simple fix that I have tested myself. Change the DPI of your phone using LCD Changer Pro (set DPI from 160 to 140) EVERY theme will now work!!!!!

Well my theme works if you download buildprop editor and change the dpi to 120, apply it, set the theme, reboot again and just turn the dpi back to 160
I only need yo put it at 140 then revert after applying

I don't really know
But I think it depends on theme...If theme supports both launchers(trebuchet and nova) It should work with both....
But most of the themes on playstore support apex, nova, and Go laucher

Search CM10 themes in playstore
There are plenty..Even theme used in Darkbreed roms
Download and install whichever theme you like
Then Go in settings>themes
Or for any other launcher like nova just search Nova launcher themes
I installed a touchwiz theme. it seems to be working with nova launcher too! will try more later.
The name of the theme used in darkbreed is called crystal 2. But it has been further heavily modified by the rom maker. Really great rom. :thumbup:

Just search play store for CM 10 themes.
Once it is downloaded, go to settings, theme and select theme of your choice. Then reboot
But before that, download and flash this in recovery..
