How To: Custom Icons For Your Droid X

[Airmaxx23]

I am having the same problem. If I hit the home button it always returns to the launcher pro screen

I've had the same "problem". I don't really consider it a problem for me personally because the few times I've gone back to the stock UI and given it another "try" I end up back with LP.

I just want to have all options open Still can't decide which one i like better: stack, Pro or ADW.

Exact same issue here. I'd just like to customize both and see which I like best. I've installed LauncherPro and Home Switcher and the home button always takes me back to the LauncherPro home screen, even with the Moto launcher set as the default in Home Switcher.

I've uninstalled LP and Home Switcher now...going to reinstall both and see if that helps. I'll let you know if it works.

I'm not sure what you mean, there are 105 droids in the droid icon pack.

I mean - this icon pack looks like it was zipped a few weeks ago. Anywhere we can check to see if anymore icons have been made?

I'll do some checking around and see if I can find the site where I originally found them. I don't think they've been updated but I'll check.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. Maybe it has been asked and I missed it - what icon pack are you using in the first tutorial?

Edit: nevermind, I found them; pack is named buuf deuce I believe.

mikeyfl........ thanks a lot, you had me chasing a damn bug on my computer screen for a couple seconds before i figured that crap out! Even thought for a split second that somehow it was inside my screen. Im clearly too sleepy to be up messing with all this lol.

Thanks for the cheap entertainment, and I wasnt even drinking tonite!

anybody know of a free alternative to BetterCut? Any Cut apparently doesn't work on the X.

AnyCut is working for me, but it doesn't let you choose the icon.

It looked like you also had some holiday icons... I'm a big kid at heart and LOVE that stuff... did you download those from the market as well?

They're from the "Buuf Deuce" icon pack, in the Market.

Excellent intructions 2 question tho can you have sub folders in the ICON folder incase you/we might want to switch up icons at anytime?
2nd, can you/we make a folder called Wallpapers in that same dcim folder? i looked through all the folders when cell is plugged in and cant find where the stock wallpapers are incase i wanted to add more in that folder?

Also would like to ask this, since im fairly new to the EVO and havent done any mods yet still stock looking i like the weather widget it has now would i be able to use or find one in the market or somewhere else? that i can still use? Thanks

 

[Airmaxx23]

Yes you can create a sub folder and a wallpaper folder. I'm not sure about the EVO weather widget.

I'm sure there are other ways to do it but I really haven't tried a different way. Maybe someone else could chime in and help out.

Apps Organizer - Android app on AppBrain

doesn't change icons for apps, but does allow you to create custom icons for app folders.

Folder Organizer Lite also lets you change folder icons and has a few more options that Apps Organizer, but whatever works for you is all you need!
