[Q] Application Icons - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I arrange the icons in the application section? If I hold onto one of the icons it moves to the front. The front icons I can move around and delete, but I can't with the back icons (black screen) application icons. The back icons show up here when you download them originally from the market and I would like to remove them and rearrange them.

Unfortunately under the stock os you can't modify the icons like the other Galaxy S versions. The Epic uses touchwiz 2.5 instead of 3.0 which is on the captivate and vibrant.

[Q] Desktop Visualizer and My Droid Incredible 2

I downloaded Franwella's "simple white" icons from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256865 onto my Verizon Droid Incredible 2.
When I create an icon on my home page using Desktop Visualizer and select icon pack none of the icons are showing up, and they are not found in any of the other options.
EDIT: Ok, so I ended up figuring it out, BUT the icons all ended up in my photo gallery. I really don't want them to clutter the gallery up, so anyway to transfer them into the icon pack section?
I can relate. I hate having the icons in my gallery as well. One thing I don't like about the 3d gallery... you can't exclude or hide folders.

[Q] Replacing ICONs

Is it possible to replace the button icons with different images? For example depending on the theme you have the Mms icon is different. How can I chose just the icon I want out of the them instead of the whole theme?

This thread has a bunch of icon packs you can download and it also tells you how to change the icons on your homescreen, dock and Appdrawer.
Hope this helps.
Which button(s) are you referring too? If it's on the home screen or dock it's fairly simple when using Go Launcher EX.
Simply long press the icon , wait for the pop-up menu, choose replace and you'll have the option to select Default icon, Theme's Icon or Custom icon.
If it's in the app drawer then it's a little harder as the icons are set within the theme package itself and as far as I know there is no way to change just one icon from here on the fly.
Thanks g4me0v3r.

Interactive wallpapers - No Icons

So this is the concept:
Instead of having a wallpaper with custom Icons, you have a custom wallpaper with the icons designed on the wallpaper itself and the icons set to an invisible icon (Simply save an icon with "Simple Text-Text Icon Creator" without any text). This way you can design complex wallpapers with shapes that have the functions in the painting itself.
Just an idea that came to mind recently, you still have to drop the icons on the correct grid part though. You can change the icon using Apex or Nova launcher.
All the best
Current wallpaper
I have an invisible folder with my most used apps on the left and the gallery at the top. You can also name the folders with a space so only a panel comes up.
At the bottom are phone, messages, app grid and two apps.

[Q] change TouchWiz apps icon?

The TW launcher's dock icons seem to be configurable except for the Apps icon, which is frozen. Is there any way to move or replace that one (without rooting)?

Arranging/sorting of icons on JB home screens

I miss the lack of possibilities for sorting/arranging the size, numbers and sorting of the icons on the homescreen of JB 4.1.1
Of course the beautifully layouted homescreen looks nice, but there is a lot of unused space, not enough space for all icons and no possibilities for sorting the icons. In fact on the newer larger screen, there is till the same amount of icons as with the older smaller screens.
I would like:
- to sort the apps on the menu and homescreen, p.ex. alphabeticaly and not having to wade constantly thru the screens to search thru the topsy turvy order.
- to add comfortably more icons than allowed by the standard 4x4-structure.
There is the Multicon-app, but its not working anymore on 4.1.x
- to clear the bottom line with the four standard shortcuts (that is 3 and the
Menu) and to use this space as well for icons, shortcuts and widgets.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Nova Launcher!
