I am in the process of completing an android icon pack. I have all the icons complete and know how to apply each icon to their app, But I cannot find an activity for the app drawer Icon to apply my icon to. I tried DDMS but that did not show any activity when pressed. I have see many Icon packs have a custom Icon for the app drawer.
So how would I use my icon on the app drawer icon for my icon pack.

You can't change the icon, and even if you were rooted it would be very difficult. The status bar requires root to do anything with it.

So I'm not quite sure you can actually change it. Even Nova, one of my favorite launchers, doesn't change it from default. I think that short of writing your own ROM, you may be out of luck.
Sorry, I really wish I had a better answer than that.

Do I have to be rooted?
I want to remove the time, battery status, and alarm clock on/off icon.
Thanks.
You can run a home alternative like adw or launcher pro to choose to hide it.

No. I do not want to hide the entire bar, just those specific icons.
I'm interested also in removing those specific icons. The battery indicator is very inaccurate.

There is a "fix" for the inaccuracy. It's just loading up more graphics with incremental changes.
I use the switch pro widget which already contains a very accurate battery meter along with a bunch of other goodies.
The clock is useless to me simply because the lock screen before you get into your home screen contains a huge clock.
cyanogen gives these options. I dont know of another way. I have done one of the "accurate" battery mods and LOVE IT (check jonnybuenos theme out, amazing).
How do you change the app icon picture? I am rooted and running cyanogen nightly 110 with launcher pro. Yes I can change the dock icon but not the screen icon, it does not give you anything option to change to custom icon.......This question only few of you might know what I'm talking about.
Check out desktop Visualizer in the market.

thanks man
if you are rooted and not afraid of getting you hands dirty a bit, you can try using ninjamorph to change the icon permanently. It can replace any files you would like within a given application. If you like customization i recommend trying it. Ive changed icons, different color rosie buttons, and also icons in the status bar.
Hello Status Bar.
Use a button to pull down the notification bar !!
Very handy with this BIG ASS screen.
Put it everywhere you want .....

Nice sharing but its not necessary to ''touch'' notification bar to pull it down.
If you ''touch'' anywhere in screen and scroll a little bit down, notification bar will be appear..

Not in widgetlockerscreen and most of the non stock launcher it also won't work !
unfortunately ....
Thats why this app is so handy ...
Another option is Go Launcher Ex.
It enables you to configure gestures for the dock icons.
One of these options is to bring down the notification bar.
Just putting it out here in case peopel wanna know...
very cool all...just put it in my dock...thanks

I've been using Go Launcher for over a year, and this is the first time I realized I could do this.

Some other launchers such as Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher Ex and Go Launcher Ex to mention a few let you set gestures for various things such as the notification bar. So no, the stock launcher isn't the only launcher for this gesture
I prefer setting ADW's swipe down on homescreen gesture for opening Notification tray myself...
I have used gestures since... forever?
I have no idea why this isnt added to the assorted skins or even vanilla Android. It makes so much sense.
I have my gestures setup so that swipe up = open app drawer, swipe down = open notification bar.
Another advantage of this is it means not having to have an app drawer icon on your dock, leaving more room for quick access icons.
Speaking of dock... another pro tip for GO Launcher EX users. Long press on an icon in the dock and hit 'gesture'. Voila - your dock icon can now perform another action by swiping up on the icon instead of just tapping it. Your 5 bar dock is now 10 actions.
I love GO Launcher.
yes, go launcher ex , use its swipe for notification. But it has alot of good functions too
Just another unneeded app running in the background? No thank you

I installed GO Launcher EX on Christmas on my EVO & it is so much faster & cooler now that I think I can wait to see the SGNote hardware in a US store as long as it's Q1 2012 (as EVO's video camera still sucks & Note does obviously have cooler abilities but would ideally like to try it in my hand first). No fan of TouchWiz here & would likely be using GO Launcher EX on Note.

Hey! Is it possible to apply an icon pack system wide? I'm running stock 7.1.1 NMF260 rooted.
Thanks!

Yes. Actually I never really thought of it in any other way. You can do it through your launcher settings or usually the icon pack itself has a way to apply it (left side, should be there).

I mean, for example if I was in settings and I went into my apps instead of seeing their default icons I would see the icons from my selected icon pack. So no matter where I was seeing the icon it would be the Icon pack's icon. Hope this helps.

In settings>apps specifically? No I dont think itll switch the icons there but it will change them all on your homescreen and in app drawer.
I use Action Launcher 3 and I can apply all from the launcher settings. Or like I said, open the icon pack itself and tap apply.

Yeah, but if it's only in your launcher it isn't system wide.

You need a custom launcher that supports icon packs. Android launcher doesn't provide native support for icon packs. Icons are applied system wide if you are using a custom launcher and make it your default homescreen instead of Android's launcher. However, most icon packs will be missing icons for at least some of your apps. Some icon packs attempt to theme those icons and others just leave the stock icon.

Your launcher is system wide. You need to make the custom launcher your default home instead of Android's launcher. The launcher changes your home screens and your app drawer.

There was a xposed module that allow you to do that, change icons system wide. I didn't tried it lately, but used to work fine.
It's called Unicon, by Faruq Rasid, search for it in the PlayStore.
Edit: You're on N, so no xposed for you, Sorry.
Hello, does LG G6 support icon packs? I can't find a way to set them, and I tried several different ones.
Nope need 3rd party launcher
I use Nova launcher and Urmun icon set & infinite S8 icon pack set
i used Nova and then switched and purchased Action Launcher. I like it better after using Nova off and on for a few years minus the iphone 6+ year and The GS7 as i was satisfied with the themes from they're theme store.

You can edit the icon image by long pressing on it, then select edit option and select an image, you can use this app = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.themex
To extract icon images from icon packages of your liking.
I have set AOSP icons on the stock theme, pretty cool now!

Correct, why don't you use that instead?
How to apply icon pack? Because I have some supported by LG Home but when I click apply it turns on the screen selection.
