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

How to remove the stock messaging icon...

Is there anyway to remove the stock messaging icon? I use SMS Pro for texting and would like to replace it with the SMS Pro icon. Is this possible?
Hint! Press settings inside the app.

You can change the dock icons by going into the app drawer, press menu, view type, and select customizable grid. Then you can drag which ever app you want to replace the stock app. I then switch it back to alphabetical grid, but that isn't necessary

All stock apps cannot be uninstalled unless you root the phone.

Huh? I've done that and see no option to remove the stock icon, unless I am overlooking it. Could I get another hint?

Be careful ... uninstalling stock apps can have unintended consequences and issues. Its best to hide them in a folder, or ignore them.

Go into settings and disabled notifications. If you trying to remove the icon from the dock, againg press menu inside the appdrawer. Custom arrangement, drag and drop. Hint! There's a hidden settings in every app by pressing the menu button.

Thanks for all the help. I didn't uninstall the stock SMS program, just replaced the icon with the SMS pro icon.

How to change main icons?

Is there a way to change the icons on the bottom of the phone? The ones right above the capacitive buttons.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
You should be able to hold and drag any icon out of the the app drawer right on them.
Edit:maybe not

If you just want to change out the apps, open your app drawer, hit the menu button and select edit. From there it's just drag and drop.
If you want to change the actual icon of the existing app, then you need to use something like APKtool to decompile, edit and recompile the app.

Not sure about the stock launcher but if you change launchers most have way you can swap what's there or replace the image. I usually clear them out and use desktop Visualizer to change them. Drag and drop

You mean a shortcut to an app... just drag and drop.
You can long press on homescreen, choose shortcuts, then select directions/navigation and put an address in....I think that's what you might be looking to do.

Yeah, I was doing that for a while, but would rather just be able to select a shortcut to the list of the "My Places" part of the maps app. Can't find it yet and any cut doesn't have anything for it. I figure there's no way to do it.
Do you mean a shortcut to a specific destination? And navigate to it? That is possible

Where is the menu button on here to start a new topic. I'm using the s3 to post this. But on the s5 the menu button just shows other apps that are open.
