Pulling the apk, editing it etc etc is a pain. So? If not, I don't think it would be difficult for the "pro" members of this community.
Use a launcher from the market that allows changing icons
Thats better
And yes there is a small app that allows you to change the icon and name of any apk
will give the name when I get to my pc
Thanks. But the Launcher won't change the APP DRAWER's icons. Just the desktop's.

"THEMED". There is no option to replace them if I recall correctly.
I think bettercut lets you change the icons. You just download an icon pack and change it.

I believe the bettercut changes only the DESKTOP's icons. Not the drawer's.

true. what it does is actually creating shortcuts for apps and change icons of those shortcuts
i think i heard the new ADW EX 2.0+ will support changing app icons in app drawer, will likely just be a "placeholder/placebo" and orginal will be untouched.
Hi I have ussr rom v4 installed on my device and using its main launcher. I was wondering if I could change the icons at the bottom of my screen where the dialer and messages option is. Can anyone help please?
Thanks:good::good:
Use Holo Launcher
You cannot edit the icons at the home screen unless :
• Download any launcher capable on doing that.
• Edit the icons of the application you wanted to change.

The images have already been changed from this, i wanted to use another messaging app instead of the one that was already on there. I do not want to use Holo Launcher or anything else but how to change application images.
thanks

I just saw a post that was using optimus g pro themes for the g2. How would I access the theme changer (stock) on the At&t version ? Was it removed?

I'm guessing on your phone when you hit the menu key it doesn't show theme so go to settings/Home screen and it should be there.
Depends what you mean by theme. I am pretty sure the stock phone can really just change wallpaper and move icons around. With root access you can install the Xposed framework which allows much more customization which is probably what you want, and with custom launchers such as Nova or Apex you can also do wallpaper changes and run custom icon packs. But maybe the theme you saw was nothing more than some UCCW widgets, IDK since I haven't seen the one you are talking about.

The stock launcher on the G2 has a theme changer and comes with two themes that change icons, walls and the clock widget maybe more. So its basically good for changing icon packs and then just reset your wallpaper after you get the icons you like. Yes you can use Nova or whatever and customize icons to your hearts content but I prefer the LG launcher and I'm thrilled they added this.

Yea I love it, just wish it theme'd widgets but guess i will splurge on Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
(stock transparent clock-weather widget would be nice tho)
I'm on the at&t variant and I can't find the theme option anywhere either. I'm guessing they took it out. I can still change individual icons by holding the icon, tapping the purple brush that pops up, hitting Menu and selecting a theme I've installed from the previous thread and then they all show up for selection. This only works for individual icons though and will not help you change the app drawer button, which is the one I wanted to change.

Wow that sucks, makes no sense. I know carriers add bloat but didn't think they touch anything in a UI. This is the theme manager on the G2.

I've got nothing that says theme anywhere I assume it would be. Checked Home Settings and Menu on the Home Screen. Nothing. I'm really bummed about that. I wanted to change the app drawer button so badly. Damn.
Edit: going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447311
[MOD] LG Home [AT&T][Verizon][International]
Edit 2: Some things changed, like the blank screen text, but others didn't like the ability to theme. Weird. Maybe that isn't ready for the at&t version of that mod.

Pretty sure I found the apk, I'll provide a link in a few minutes. Let me know if I'm wrong about this so I can delete this.

Never done this before, its my Dropbox public folder I assume its shared. File is uploading slow should be about two more minutes if anyone is awake lol.
In this other thread a guy created a mod that does a bunch of things including giving you the themer, here is the link if you want to try that.

I don't think just flashing yours would work. It might but the guy needed all the files for the models he was building the mod for from the devices he was building for. I think it would need a little more than just swapping it.
And I tried that mod. No theme ability on the at&t version of the phone. Still.

How did you get those themes to show up?
Thank you
I believe the international and Verizon version have the theme chooser, along with the Korean version. It allows you to switch to the Marshmellow stock theme, and others to come in the future. However, I think its apparent that the At&t version is missing this functionality. Would it be possible to add it back in an APK?

You'd probably have to wait for a dev to add it to their ROM
T-mobile version has it.
There's an internal application I found with system tuner called home chooser, don't think its enabled though. Anyone with another carrier version know if this is what were looking for?

Any idea how to enable round icons on Galaxy S8 like tbe ones on the Pixel? I do not want to use custom launcher. I have installed Pixel Launcher and Pixel launcher icons but still does not give me the round icons for many apps like Youtube, Play Store, Play Music, etc. I hope someone could help me out.
Use nova launcher and a pixel icon pack. Works fine for me
There is no way to have them round.
That being said, samsung did include a frame option in an attempt to make the icons unified as look.
You can find that option in settings - display - icon frames.

I don't believe that there is no way. I have seen before that it's like a one line of code that triggers the use of round icons of the app as long as the app itself supported it. I just can't seem to find that thread now.

Hello,
I wanted to ask how to change icons on home screen of apps that dont get changed by official samsung store themes without using another launcher. Id need to save the icons first, and then replace them by edited versions. Kind of creating my own icon set. Is this even possible? Do I have to root my device this for?
Thanks in advance for every help.

If you want to replace the default icons for each individual app you can't as the icons image file is stored in the .apk file and replacing them is not worth it......if you want to create an icon pack you will need a 3rd party launcher for using it or you can create a theme that works on Samsung store.....at least that's my understanding.....
