You can't. In addition, if you change an icon and then delete it, you have to remake the icon.

You should be able to double-click the app drawer icon, choose Edit, select the the current icon and from there, you can choose any icon, picture or photo as the app icon's replacement.
Icons can be selected from themes, icon packages, your own pictures, etc. Google Play store is your friend as are the plethora of FAQs found by using the search function.
Is this your first Android phone? Regardless, you have a lot of reading before you.

Actually, I have never used a stock launcher, short of the original ADW Launcher.
I mindlessly change the launcher right after flashing a ROM and never considered it.
The very thought of it being a home launcher issue never crossed my mind.
Thanks for pointing out my oversight. :-\

I found a way to enable it on my ATT D800 earlier. First download launcher pro from the market. Then on the LG home add the widget call actions from launcher pro. Choose the Home action and then one of the sub-choices will be Home with something like hidden menu underneath it. choose that one and then click on the widget. From there check the theme engine box and exit the app. Then hitting the menu key from the home screen on LG Home will have themes. You can uninstall launcher pro after

Do you mean home > Add Activity > Home > com.lge.hiddenmenuactivity ? This doesn't work for me. It creates an icon and clicking on it shows "Failed to open whatever" and nothing happens.
Can you be more specific?
Also, can someone with a working Theme setting for the Home screen upload the LGHome.apk here? It's under /system/apps/

The instructions are from that thread. As you can see from the thread, many people from AT&T G2 aren't able to access that shortcut. Opening the shortcut gives an error, as I mentioned before. Are you on the stock AT&T rom?

I share this gem with you courtesy of someone called Leftarmspinner.
TO ENABLE THEMES ON THE ATT LG G2.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything) and Later you can uninstall. This enables the hidden settings menu, which most of us have done one way or another.
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home > com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. Look for the setting feature_use_theme and check it off.
4. You can now use themes!!!! How cool.

If you're having trouble enabling the setting, there is an easier way
Download the module G2 tweaks for xposed.
Go to misc tweaks
Enable hidden launcher settings.

Go to the op
Here is another way
Anyway guys, I found a solution to acces to the hidden setting without installing Launcher Pro.
Just get "Any Shortcut" on the market (here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oboenikui.anyshortcut)), then create a shortcut with these parameters :
*Application :* com.lge.launcher2
*Activity :* com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity (without a space between "Activ" and "ity" !)
*Action :* nothing
*Intent :* nothing
(See screenshot in attachment).
Then : create, your shortcut is done !
And you have access to the launcher hidden settings

I simply restored my G2. The Multi_Home_G3 apk seems a bit buggy so I'm not going to use that. But thanks anyway.

Try what vPro97 suggested.
Installing the G3 home apk and theme will give you access to the G3 wallpapers but the icons won't change. Install both and use the multihome G3 theme for the icons and then you can change the G3 stock wallpaper, they're slightly different. I've been using all together for a week now and no issues at all.

Have you tried using large icons? When I changed that setting, Home suddenly stopped working.
The new home allows you to adjust to any size icon such as 1x1 up to 5x5 and you can use a jpg or png in your gallery... I get no force closes at all..

What I meant was in the App Drawer, you have the option of using small or large icons. When switching from small to large icons, that is the time you will experience the crash.
Download launcherpro from playstore, add laucherpro activity widget, scroll down to home and select the one listed as hidden menu activity. Score!

In trouble if you don't remember what you change. It gives you acess to change settings such as turn on and off features of your phone.

This should be how you guys can turn on themes. This is the Lg Home hidden menu
Do you need pro version of launcher pro. Cause I don't see any activity widgets
Nope, it should be the 1×1 activity widget.
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app
this menu has been in previous LG devices but is not the "main" hidden menu. you guys can't find any other hidden menu?
and you can use this app to find hidden activities without changing your launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
just open app.. select "all activities" from the top drop down menu and poke around.
It works without changing your launcher. The widget is available in stock launcher. You can also access service menu with this app and yours.

I'm unable to find the menus on the activity launcher. It seems it's not as complete as launcher pro.

I did this, but what did you launch to get to this menu?
It's under home and then home hidden menu activity I believe. After you create the shortcut you can uninstall the launcher pro app. The shortcut will remain.

Did anyone else get this working? I followed OP and do not see hidden settings under home screen using activity launcher. See my screen shot above.
Nova launcher wont allow me to enter those. Says app not installed or something :/. I got in to the other secret menu but not the main one. Sadly the main hidden menu has bt stuff that I might be interrested. Any idea why this happens. Mine is european 815.

One of the options on this hidden menu is "Support_Secret_Menu". I wonder if that'll activate an additional menu.
It'd be nice to have Display Frame Rate option on this menu.

When i try to add the activity widget it crashes on me. Not sure if its because i have 7 screens or a active wallpaper or what..

I have given up. I have the same LaunherPro installed, and have selected the same activity widget, but I do not have a hidden menu option in my list. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and no go. Thanks though, good find.
Idk. I installed the Hidden Activities app and found Verizon Hidden Menu but it won't open and instead I get an error message.
