[Q] Restoring default icons from custom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, I'm using Nova launcher. Whenever I want to change my icon set, whether it's the default or a custom set, any apps that I manually change the icon for doesn't get overwritten with the new set. For example, I set Chrome Beta to a specific icon, and if I apply a new icon set through Nova settings, the icon for Chrome Beta is still the same as what I set it to.
Is there a way to overwrite these when you apply a new icon set? It's a big pain going through all the apps with a custom icon and changing it to match the current theme.

Default Icons

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.

[Q] How to change Icons w/o using a launcher app

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?

[Q] Any way to change Menu Icons?

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

Stock note 3 base Icons.

I've been looking for a while now but I can't find anything.
I want to remove the icons down the bottom with custom icons. Such as changing the messages icon to the hangout app icon.
If this is not possible i might have to look at custom roms
Icoron. Will let you put custom icons for your apps. Not sure if you can put your own or only from what they have, but still it's there.

Choosing icons from icon pack

Today I bought an icon pack, as I wanted to change the look of my home screen.
Installed it, applied it. It filled almost all my apps.
For the ones not included I have thousands of icons, theoretically, to choose from in the icon pack. I say theoretically because when I long press an app, go to Edit mode, choose the icon pack I've bought... I'm shown only a very small subset of what's available in the icon pack.
How can I solve this?
There should be an app icon in the drawer for the icon pack, try using that?

Yes, there's an app for the icon pack. It allows you to look at all the available icons (all 3,600 of them), to apply the icon pack for compatible launchers (OP is not there, but the icon pack applied with no problem through home screen settings).
The problem is that to modify single icons you go into Edit mode, as described above, but only a very small subset (144 icons out of 3,600) of the availabe icons is displayed. For instance, there are like nine different colors for music apps (with stylized headphones in different colors), but I have no way of accessing them.
If a solution exists I didn't find it. I ended up using my Nova launcher license and switched to it. All icons became instantly selectable for any single app.
