Hey guys, I am trying to change the launcher icon on my app and I am having issues. I set below in the Manifest.
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon"
The icon.png picture is in res/drawable directory, but anytime I upload the app to my phone, it still has the default android icon. Any ideas where I am messing up? Is this even the property to be setting? Thanks ahead of time.
Nevermind, fixed it by changing the name from icon to something else.

I just installed the official ROM for Topaz which brings us Sense 2.5. Now, I have changed all my icons on the whole phone to new ones but when I add one as quicklink in Sense it just shows the default one.
What can I do about this?
ArtieQ, you can find the icon path for the quick links in File Explorer->Application Data->HTC->ProgramLauncher. Those override the icons in the start menu. That would be one place to start. You could try deleting the default icon there and the icon you are using in your start menu should work. Be sure to backup/copy the default before deleting it.
The icons that don't show up is not in the ProgLauncher folder, why's that? Can't seem to fix this..
The way I've done it in the past is to delete the icon in programlauncher. HTC presets those icons to appear in quicklinks for the programs listed in that folder. All other programs use the icon in the startmenu. If you install new icons, they will not go into the programlauncher folder. So, if you see the icon you installed in the startmenu try deleting the associated default icon in programlauncher. For example, I wanted to use the google maps icon in the startmenu instead of the default one used by HTC in quicklinks. So I deleted the googlemaps icon in programlauncher and it then defaulted to the one in my startmenu.
So I flashed a ROM and it came with a special icon set. Now I want to revert back to the default icons each program comes with as well as what 6.5 normally has. I am using JWMD IconChanger but I can't find my default icons. When I say Show Default Icon, I am shown the default icon but that is not saved nor is there a way to save that selection. Please help or redirect. Thanks.
I've tried Better Cut aswell as some of the launchers. I don't really want to use a launcher and Better Cut and "Folder" something didn't work for me.
Better Cut and the other "Icon" apps didn't seem to work. I could change the icon png in the tool and it would look okay, but they would either not show up on my home screen, or would show up with no changes to them. ie, stock icon image or changing the name would not work. Wonder if this is a glacier/sense thing?
I'm thinking about rooting and changing things at the OS level.
I want to change the icons to custom .png's and remove the text under their icons on the home screen.
Any suggestions?
when you list of programs/apps comes up, anyway to change the Icon & or/ name?
Im not sure about changing the name for the apps, but I think Desktop Visualizer lets you change the icons. maybe different launchers might allow you to change the names
Hmm well I can change my desktop Icons but im trying to change the icons and or name of the app in the menu itself
Anyone know how to change this bloat icon? I think there is some file that is making the icon and the name look like this and I can get around it. I tried deleting and adding another stock apk but again the same icon
Thanks
