WITHOUT downloading a Launcher
How do I change the app drawer icon?
Where is the icon stored?
What is the name of the icon file?
Yes I have root access.
I am on a lLG G2 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.0
I want to do this manually not with a launcher.

All I'm trying to do is use a custom dock background with Go Launcher EX. I'm rooted and have both the android market and gapps installed. I installed Go Launcher EX via the market.
Whenever I set a custom dock background via the Go Launcher preferences, it only stays put until I reboot. After a reboot, the background disappears and there's no background at all. The background I'm using is a PNG which i have located in /sdcard/theme/docks, permissions on the file according to Root Explorer are ---rwxr-x.
What gives here? Why do I have to reset it after every reboot?
EDIT: It's interesting to note that if I use the "GO Theme background" under Preferences->Visual settings->Backgrounds for my dock background, the theme image is persistent after any number of reboots.
it's only a shot in the dark but i think at reboot the system is starting go launcher. according to this the rights have to be rwxrwxr-x
or the sdcard is'nt mounted when it loads - then copy somewhere to system might help
never done this - just some ideas ...
I'm unable to modify permissions of files in /sdcard. Also, I have custom dock icons that are located in /sdcard/theme/icons and they always stick around after a fresh reboot, so I'm not sure about the need to move my dock background PNG to /system. I currently only have apk's in /system.
the icons have the same permissions ?
maybe a bug in go launcher you just discovered !
Yes, the icons have the same permissions.
Could it possibly be that I'm cropping the image? Anyone know the exact dimensions I would need to use to avoid cropping?
just looked at my kf - can't find the original images - does anyone know the location ?
Do we have any way to change the Stock LG App launcher icon. We can customize all icons but not the App icon. Is there any zip package that i can install from recovery ? Thanks in advance.
just use apex or nova launcher then you can change every icon.
there are themes in the theme store, and some themes change the background on the: setting, clock, my files, keyboard
so my question is how i can change the backgroung and the icons without change the theme? tnx
There a module in xposed installer named gravitybox
NOTE=ROOT ACCESS IS NEEDED
How to remove LauncherConfig in System/App
I need to remove the Launcher Config file located in System/app. That folder is making the moto z defalt to a 4x4 and 4 icon dock. Using google now launcher and pixel launcher the only way to get 5x5 and 5 dock icons is to remove that file. The Force is not rootable so how do I remove the file?

it did. But unfortunately Debloater doesn't work for some and it definitely doesn't work with Nougat.
LauncherConfig also doesn't show on the phone's system apps so it can't be disabled there. Nougat lets you "resize" the screen so that might counter the effects.
Is it possible to extract (or whatever is called) apk of floating bar from v30? I found few apps that doing that thing but they are so slow in opening apps or calling someone. Thanks!
only for root
1.flash it in recovery(twrp)
2.download nova launcher(you dont have to use nova as launcher)
3.add widget on your lg launcher(nova activities)
4.find floating bar, it will have two options and choose again floating bar.
5.now from shortcut you can acces flbar settings
it works on my v20 h990ds oreo stock rom
