Is it possible to edit the icons on TW icons - like from root explorer - to not include the name of the app ?
I dont want to switch launchers to get more options.
Without switching launchers, you aren't going to get customization outside of arranging the icons on the dock, with the exception of the Apps icon
Only way I know is by switching launchers. LP has the option.
Thanks, much appreciated.

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 just curious,yiu can change icons etc
Like your pc etc

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate
This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!
I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'
One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.
I wanted to remove all icon names permanently, but i don´t want to use a app like desktop visualizer, instead i would like to flash a mod or something like that. Is that possible? I am running a stock rom. Thanks.

Anyone know how to apply icons from Nox Icons to the G2 without using a non-stock launcher? I prefer using the stock G2 launcher to keep "knock knock" but don't like the icons. I already tried changing the icons by long pressing the icon I want to change and selecting the Nox icon I want but it keeps saying "Failed to load image".

You can keep knock on/off with 3rd party launchers, you just need to double tap the status bar up top.
Yeah I know, but that's too hard to do one handed (or I'm just too lazy). I was hoping there's a way to find the icons using a file browser or maybe someone has the icons in a zip.

You can also download a program called Turn off screen, using nova, after you set up "turn off screen" go to activities under gestures in Nova, and set double tap as turn off screen. Also, if you have root, in the app section, someone has developed the regular launcher with pretty much all options you can think of.
Have fun.
User Xposed and Icon themer module. Works awesome.

Hi is there a way to use nova laucher icons for the lockscreen shortcuts?it always uses stock icons instead and it really bugs me lol
You can use unicon to set icon pack as default ... But it doesn't allow you the ability to set individual apps
Are you wanting to do this with AOSP or the stock ROM? With AOSP you could extract icons from whatever pack you wish to use. Make a new folder in SDcard/Pictures. And paste them there. After a reboot or two they'll show up. Then select them from the Gallery when choosing your custom lock screen icons. You can get really fancy and change the actual lock icon to match your other icons too. That requires a little more work though.
Not to be that guy but it is best practice to read thread stickies before posting.
If you can give us more info on your current setup, it would be helpful.
Thanks unicon did it ...thanks danial.aw and i was stock kk using nova just to be more precise

Unicon is amazing. If you're in the beta there's new features that are super sweet. Custom Icon assignment is flat out awesome.
