Hi all!
I'm using paid Nova Launcher, and since a couple of mounths, I'm facing a strange behavior with my custom icons.
I'm changing all the icons in the drawer and the desktop with icons I've made. I change them manually, one by one, as I don't know how to build an iconset.
The point is, everytime an app is updated, its icon is resetted to stock one. This I can understand, even if its a pain...
But the Nova settings icon, the google setting one, and the stock messaging one are resetted randomly, and I can't understand why.
So is it a normal behavior in Nova, and is there a way to avoid icons to be resetted?
Thanks for your help.

hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.

I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.
Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything
Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.
hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF
This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.
I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)
I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.
Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )
Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?
Hey guys,
I noticed that when I go into expanded desktop mode on Pa beta8v2 there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen. It kinda cuts off at the middle of the icons and was wondering if there is a way to make the wallpaper go all the way down. Thanks in advance
its a issue with the launcher that you're using.
depending on what launcher it is (apex, nova, etc) update it to the latest
something that came with rom -> update your rom
I have it also on Nova Luncher, on Go Luncher and on CM10 luncher also :/
all 3 are cutting the photo and showing the icons that way .
Yea I just checked and it doesn't happen with the default launcher. That's a disappointment..... Hope they patch that up.
Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.
On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

did anybody try the stock widgets to see if they work like task manager because they used to work for 4.2.2

Not with Nova Launcher
Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?
I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies
The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.
I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

I just found a trick that worked for me, set nova's icon size to 85% in nova settings and the stock icons come back to life
is there any way that i can change the icons on the stock launcher to an icon pack downloaded from the play store?
and i dont mean the manual way like changing one icon per time. im searching for something automatic and without unicon since xposed isnt working.
*AND YES I HAVE ROOT*
I'm also looking forward for that.... I like the stock launcher for it's features, and the design is not bad at all, but those square icons makes me switching back and for between it and Nova...
Hi there,
I have been using Nova launcher for years without problems. Yesterday I bought a Galaxy S9 +, and of course I also installed Nova launcher. But I have a problem with changing the icon of the application drawer on the dock. I can change the icon, but if I confirm, the icon does not change. It always remains the stock icon. I can change the other icons in the dock without any problem. Only that of the application drawer can not change. It makes me crazy because I have always been able to change this on my previous smartphones. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem on all my devices:
Moto G5s Plus
Samsung S8
Samsung Note 9
Samsung Galaxy Tab A
It looks like the dev will have to give this some love...
Came here to say this as well. Thought it may be because I switched to the Android 10 Beta on my OnePlus 6T.

As far as I know every android comes with a default launcher. In android 10 default launcher will have a dock that will show up in recent screen. Currently 3rd party apps cannot show their dock in recent screen (olny default launcher can). Yours' is a different problem. If you could remove app drawer icon from dock from default launcher it may solve the issue. Try reading this: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/force-android-10s-gestures-work-with-any-custom-launcher-0238065/ . It will make you understand better.
