I am using iLauncher, which I really enjoy, but the developer unfortunately forces you to have an app icon for the launcher preferences on the homescreen. You can only change the icon and title (title can't be empty or just spaces unfortunately), but you can not delete it from the homescreen.
Is there anything I can do, to get rid of it?

How would I go about changing the icon & name of an application? Or removing the app from my app list without uninstalling it..
You can do this with DX-Top. Install icon packs and fonts,rename apps and hide apps.

If you are looking to change the icon and name of an app on any of your homescreens, then that's easily done with any of the newer versions of Launcher Pro. Just update the software, and when you add an icon to the homescreen, it will show you a window allowing you to change the name and icon of a shortcut. Hiding apps from the launcer is also a feature of Launcher Pro. Just go into Launcher Pro preferences, general settings, and hidden apps. From there, hide what you want.

I have the latest version of LauncherPro Plus, and it doesnt ever ask me to change the names or icons (Thats only for the dock apps)
I was able to move these locked apps/icons which appear on all home screens on my SGS1, and now on the SGS2, when i try and edit the home screen(s), the phone wont let me change these.
Ive downloaded Handscent SMS which i want to use to completely replace the default messages app, so in a root explorer program just renamed the Mms.apk application to a ,bak, in doing that, it removed the messages icon from this locked menu so now i can only see PHONE/CONTACTS/APPLICATION icons and still cant add or edit anything...can someone help with this? Just wanna throw the HANDSCENT SMS icon in there...

If you're talking about the four bottom icons with the app drawer icon at the far right then you can change it quite easily. Just open the app drawer, hit menu then edit. You can drag and move whatever you'd like to the bottom area. Home/Applications must stay though.
Is there any way of changing the icons, renanming them or just pointing the existing icon to another application?
I am trying to keep the stock messaging icon but open Go SMS Pro with it instead?
TIA
Hello, I want to hide icon of app in Android.
which launcher?
for most of them, it is from home screen, menu button, preferences
If it's the icon in the App Drawer you want to hide, use a Launcher that allows you to do this. Launcher Pro does iirc.
If it's the icon on a Homescreen you just need to change the current one for one that's transparent..and most 3rd party Launchers allow you to do that. I've attached a transparent icon for you if you need it. Un-zip it, save it to your phone and either use your Launcher to edit the current icon or use an app called 'Desktop Visualizer' to do the same.
So i hate using icons for my launcher, so i have used simple text as icons. But i have run into a snag along the way.... How do i modify my app drawer icon? I can change the icon easily. but when u choose what to launch you cant choose the app drawer, you have to physically choose an application, anyone know the way around this?
