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.
I want 2 change only the app launcher button icon .
thanks

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.

i think it comes w the cm roms but how do i edit it?so i can go back to 4 icons in each row? and does anyone know how to change the number of screens on cm?
did you read the advanced launcher thread? and i'm not sure you can switch back to 4 icons per row, but why would you?
yeah i did and it just says how to instal and mainly i wana remove alot of icons like skins a nd what not
what do you need to know? i mean, you install the launcher and when it's on there, you can choose how many homescreens you want.

Why do you want 4x5? The 3 latest cyanogens have removed this launcher. If you want the features, you must install the advanced launcher manually. If you decide to install it, from the homescreen press menu>more>extended>homescreen and make your home numbers selection. I doubt it's going back to 4 icons anytime soon. If I find out how to adjust that setting I'll shoot you a pm.
oh ok thanks guys
umm i tried to donwload it but it said it was already installed? so i look in settings and cudnt find it? so i tried to uninstall but that did work either?
it's not in settings. when you're on the your homescreens, press menu, then click more, then extended.

yeah its good but the fonts look very small in this launcher i want big font look too/..
use apk manager and de-compiler your app. change the icons.( for Calculator and app don't forgot to set compress apk level on 0 for work app other apps can compress on 3 level recomended) can this way for odex and deodex rom.(and stock rom! i do it!)
use root explorer. replace your new app with old and set true permisions then restart. (don't signe your system apps)
easy way use launcher with more themes like GO and ADW.
sorry for bad english. i change my apps icon like Candy style like SGS2 and clock widget for emanoN v4:

With permission from the developer, I would like to share this with you guys. Its an add-on to be flashed over CM9 Nightlies. Its mainly for those who love the stock look of Samsung and includes some Samsung Apps + TW UX + Sony Walkman Player (which i personally think is awesome!)
http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zgl68tzbdc331
****To be flashed over CLEAN CM9****
>Back Up Apps
>Factory Reset
>Flash Zip via CWM
>Restore Apps
More details and screenshots available at the original thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667051
Pls dont forget to thank the developer if you like it.
will it work on cm9 experimental build?
yes it does. im tried on mine. the first boot takes somewhat long. took about 20 mins if i remember right. be warned, dont flash if u dont like touchwiz (latest) or stock samsung apps cos it adds a few of those.
the new weather clock.apk not work for me.... problem loading widget... is it work for you guys?
not working on mine either :-( sorry.
hey there,
i wanted a few samsung apps, but not the launcher as i still want to remain my CM9 launcher. if i straight away flash this, the touchwiz ui will replace the stock ICS launcher?
theres still the option to select the Trebuchet launcher. or u can install another launcher over it like Nova or Apex which looks exactly the same like Trebuchet but with more functions.
I want to flash this for the default Samsung camera app. But if I flash this, will my entire system, ie the settings, menu etc look like Samsung s ics Rom?
i dont think camera will be changed. if u have downloaded the zip, check the system/app folder inside the zip. all the additional apps will be found there.

Actually I can't just copy Samsung camera as it requires some Samsung framework and tw elements. So was asking if after u flash this zip, do u have Samsung camera or does copying stock camera from Samsung ics Rom can work or not.

i've checked. the samsung camera app is not included in this add on. to answer ur othr question, i dont think copying the stock samsung camera will work either, for the same reasons u stated above

hello I'm envy.. just asking if anyone here who got their S10 already and willing to try to install my theme and confirm if it shows on the Theme Store?
You need the xdaLabs app to download my theme.
just open your theme store first and leave it running on the background, then click this link
download it and install, then go back to theme store and see if its there.
should look like this: see attachment.
this will help me confirm if we got future for custom theming on S10 thank you very much.

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.
