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

hi all,
is thers any way that the icons in the magician could be changed,i mean we change the icon as per our mood??
If you are asking about the icons for the applications, then there is a way.
you can use 'Shortcut Creator' for that

just edit the shortcut and change the icon and save. the shortcuts can be found in windows\start menu

Very nice post
thanks dude.
no man,
i earlier had a moto ming,
so when i installed a theme,everything from the icons to color scheme to menu bar colors would change..it's almost like a new phone.
but in my magician(upgraded to wm6) only the nav bar colors and wallpapers and other such small things change....the icons in programs remain the same
if we could get a theme which changes icons itself then it would b grt
neways thanx 4 dis app.

in the magician, its only possible to change the colors and wallpaper with a tsk file. the icons cannot be changed.
i dont think its possible to change the icons using a theme in magician.
anyway the moto ming runs on linux
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 been wondering if there's a way to add custom icons for third party apps in MIUI ROM. I know you can change icons of applications by opening the .apk and replacing the icon file inside but MIUI adds its own background for third party apps' icons. So my question is, how can I prevent MIUI from doing that?
The default icons seem to be located in the farmework-res.apk inside "drawable-hdpi-finger" folder. I tried adding new icons there and naming them to "icon_handcent.png" or "icon_handcent_sms.png" etc. but this didn't work.
And just to be clear I don't want any widgets like Desktop Visualizer or BetterCut to make new shortcuts. All of those apps make the new shortcuts as widgets and therefore they can't be added in the dockbar or inside folders.
Thanks in advance

I recon that if you create an icon that is exactly the same size as MIUI makes its icons then you wont be able to see the background it puts behind it.
What happens if you make an app's icon a black square that fills the whole png? Does it obscure any MIUI backgrounds?
ive been trying to add icons to this folder too but not had any luck. Im guessing it is contained in an xml telling the launcher to use those icons in the framework.res instead of the ones inside the apk itself.
Ive looked through a load of xmls in launcher and in framework but cant seem to find it anywhere.
On a side note i have read over on droidforums that by changing the icon for the apk contained in data/system/customized_icons then this will display the new icon of your choosing. So instead of placing your icon in the drawable_hdpi_finger folder, place them in there.

data/system/customized_icons
look here guys ^^^^^^^^
you will find all the miui generated 3rd party icons will be in there. Try replacing those (may need to wipe cache to apply, not sure)
and fyi the way miui makes icons is the same as iphone now. It uses icon_mask to limit the drawable size of the original icon, then applyies it on icon_pattern on top of icon_background, and finally places icon_frame over top of it all. all those files are found in framewrok-res.apk inside the drawable-hdpi finger folder
im trying to change the main icons not the customized ones. is there a folder for that? like settings and gallery icons.

Yes, in framework-res.apk there is a folder called drawable-hdpi-finger. All system apps have their icon in there. If you place your new icons in there then they will then be changed on the main screen.
What i still havent worked out is how to add icons in there for other apps such as handcent or dialerone.
i think the default_workspace.xml would need the app and package adding to it but i laso think there would be another step somewhere, not tried it yet.
wheres the framwork-res.apk located?
Is there a way to completely avoid this resize?

Is that the reason why MIUI resize the 3rd party app inside data/system/custom icons??
Is there a way to completely avoid this resize?
I have overwritten the background, for example, and now I have no unwanted background.
I can decide for the border, remove it the same.
But overwrite the icon_mask seems do not change the MIUI resizeing.
What have I to do?
Thank you in advance, to everybody who would help

How did you manage to overwrite the background? I found the customized_icons folder but just can't find the icon_background or icon_frame files on my system.
Help appreciated.
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?
I installed some needed applications like chrome ccleaner on Win 8.There were shortcuts in Metro start menu.But as it was using default style Program icon and name was displayed on tile.Can i change it to make it looks like other built in Tiles?
Another question
I have removed(Unpinned) some tiles how to restore them?
Sorry for Bad English
Not sure about changing icons, but to restore pinned tems, swipe on the right side of your screen (to bring up small black side menu)and hit the search button. All the apps will be there, and you can repin them there.
The tile icon is just for apps. Default programs is 'doomed' to be this way.

Just search the application you want to pin by typing it's name in the Start Immersive menu, then right-click on the application, finaly you can click Pin in the bottom bar that will appear...
