[Q] Add Icon to Icon Pack - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I'm trying to customize an Icon Pack, by adding some Icons for some apps that it doesn't have.
I want to know how exactly can I do this?
I'm using Go launcher, and I saw in another thread a thingy about Go Launcher Theme factory...The problem is, I'm not trying to create a theme, I just want to add the Icons I've made for certain apps to the existing Icon Pack (I'm not planning on uploading it or anything).
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Icons on MIUI

can you change the icons that are just on your home screen with out installing a whole font pack on the stock launcher or do i need LP or something. i like the layout of the stock launcher and how big the icons are but i only want to change the ones that are on my home screen. i don't like how the font packs only change certain icons so i would rather just have the ones i see and use all the time to be the ones that i want. can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?
thanks a lot!

How to remove dock, change notification bar?

Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI to give it another shot and im loving it all over again.
There are a couple things I'd like to know:
1. Can I remove the dock? If so, how?
2. Where can I go to learn about how to install a new notification bar? I want to check the themes/tweaks/etc.
3. How do I install new icons? I downloaded icon packs but not exactly sure how to install them, im still reading up on Desktop visualizer but im still a bit confused
Thanks

Remove the dock by installing a new launcher of your choosing. I prefer GoLauncher with miui.
Go to settings, there should be themes in there. When you are in the themes you can browse or search by clicking online at the top. If you go to the bottom and click edit theme you can mix and match your themes. Like notification bar from one, lock screen from another, etc.
I have never heard of desktop Visualizer. Icons are a subset of the themes. You can mix and match them too. If you go to edit the theme, then select icons, and click online you can browse just the icons, vs the whole theme.
You can also find some themes in the general android theme forum, not the gs2, the bigger Android section.
Well, look what you did, now you got me in the miui mood, I'm gonna have to switch back.

on MIUI, just open the THEMES app and download whatever theme you want. also you can customize the current theme you are on to make it any way you like....personally i like meeui dark with ics mixed in....
I'll throw in a plug for the ADW launcher, which will let you wasily do several of the modifications you want: roemove the dock, hide the notification bar and change icons via a long press of the target.
I only use Desktop Visualizer if I want to use an icon that's larger than 1x1.

Use the advice that was given above your post, 3 years ago... just install a new launcher and disable it in the app settings. Perhaps your current launcher can already do it.

Creating a icon pack for Apex/Nova/GO Launcher

I have searched and searched for a decent tutorial on how to create or modify an icon pack that can be used with Apex, Nova, or Go Launcher. I have decompiled an apk to see how it works, but I cannot figure out what exactly needs to be edited. However, I do see the folder full of the icons, but I'm not sure what I need to do with some of the XML files. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
I basically want to create a icon pack later, but for now.. I have made a couple icons that I want to add to an existing icon pack I'm using. Thanks guys!

And for nova launcher you can use the icon packs you created for go launcher to work with nova launcher.

Am I wrong...???

Im loving this amazing app so fsr on my GS4 but I still have some questions without answers, even though it coukd be just a lack of experience using this app my self.. Jere I go:
1. I can't find a way to change the default wallpapers for cuatom ones
2. I can't find how to replase some of the default icons on the dock bar by my prefered apps (like Go. Launcher style, wjre it let you edit any app, for example in Go Launcher I can place the +Contacts app and replace its original icon with the stock icon of the theme being used)
3. How can I eliminate widgets and add eliminate screens? Almost all themes have a news widget whixh i dont want.. What can I do?
I think this app rocks but it atill needs more customization and easier acces to more options
Thanls dor this glorious app!!!
For example, I could manage to change thenwall paper butnas soon as I changenthe number of main screens inside the themer settings thenwallpaper became all blaxk and wont let me see anybwidget. I add
