Change desktop icon of an app (.apk file) I have an app that I like very much, I use it everyday, but I dislike its desktop icon.

How can I change the desktop icon of this app ? Should I do it directly by opening the .apk file (with which tool?) ?
You can try apk edit.


Launch apk edit.exe and load the apk file you need to change icon
The exe will display the app icon and name under General tab
You can change the icon and load the apk back to the phone


Note : This process will cause problem on update of the app.

When google play notifies the update, you can uninstall the app, install the app again and change the icon.
