Long press the icon and it asks you if you wanna edit. Then tap the icon picture and the rest is up to you.

i purchased an app called call custom launcher icons. it has lots of icons though repeated in diffrent colors. It has some custom drawers too. all i did was long press on the icon i wanted to change (on the app drawer) then when next pop up asking what i wanted to change i pressed icon pic. then it asked where I wanted to look for it I chose the custom launcher icons and scrolled through the icons till i found the one i wanted to use, pressed it and after a few seconds i had a custom icon on the app drawer.
I'm pretty sure I have that app as well and it doesn't work like that!!!

Did you ever figure out the answer to this? I can change icons on homescreen but not in the drawer. What am I missing? Thanks. -GEF

yeh the problem is it forgets whats behind it. a simple solution would be to replace the bg image with your wallpaper.

Apktool, common sense, time, and persistence are all that's neccesary.

Thanks

I believe its called quickpanel_quick_ settings_backgroung.png in systemUI.apk. I just changed it myself recently.

Is there any way?

Is there anyway to theme apps on the go? Meaning replace some icons, images with the phone....
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Nope you need to decompile the apk and change the files which cant be done on the device.
You could use a custom launcher to change the image it uses for the icon but it won't actually change the apps icon

How transparent do you want it?
100%? 75%? 50%?
Also, do you have any themes applied for this ROM?

If you can, can you please upload the ROM for me to dropbox and send me the link? I can't find a good download for the ROM anywhere. If you can find me a working download link for it or provide me with the ROM, I'll try to make the app drawer transparent for you. Just give me a couple days to have it ready.

PM has been sent.
Just in case anyone else stumbles upon this post looking to make their app drawer transparent on SkyRaider Zeus 1300 (1.3)...
This ROM does not need any modifications in order to make the app drawer transparent.
Here's how you do it... follow these steps.
1. Open apps
2. Open SkyRaider Settings
3. Go to Rosie settings
4. Choose options
5. Choose background color
6. Locate the bar below the color selector that is titled "alpha" and slide the selector all the way to the right
7. Choose okay and then done
Your app drawer is now transparent.
Enjoy.
Note: This is a built in feature of the ROM. You can even change the app drawer to any color and/or any transparency desired.
