[Q] Change the dock shortcuts

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)

Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.

Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff

its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?

Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this

I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..

I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?

In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

[Q] Change icons in app drawer

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.

[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...

Do you want to share the magic solution?

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

Can no longer change or rename icons with XGELS after update.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I guess Google pushed through an update that broke XGEL's ability to rename and change app icons. I went from having a whole bunch of custom icons from various icon packs, renamed as I wanted, to being right back to stock icons and default names. Going back in and re-selecting my preferred icons does absolutely nothing.
For what it's worth: I'm on a nexus 5X. Stock android, rooted. I did purchase premium.
It looks like whatever Google pushed through today broke XGELS.

You could use an alternative launcher, such as Nova Launcher, which allows to change the app names without the need of an Xposed module.

Can I change Android app icons to custom images?

I am using a HTC One M8 running CM14.1, rooted and S-OFF.
I designed my own app icons that I want to use for my apps. I have them in png files exactly the same resolution as the files I extracted from the original APKs. I have tried doing some research how to set my images as the icons for my apps, but every Google search just points you at gimmicky free apps for non-rooted devices that just create shortcuts on the home screen. I actually want to change the app icon system-wide, so that my icons will show up in the app drawer with my icons too.
Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? I am not opposed to a significant time investment. Thanks in advance for any advice.
