title: Can't change the default icon of Android app?
body: <p>I am facing a problem. I have converted a javascript application to Android app by using phonegap, cordova and eclipse. The App works cool. </p>
  
  <p>But the problem is, it always displays <strong>cordova icon as app icon</strong>. I replaced all the icons in the <code>"project/res"</code> folder. But still it shows the default icon only?</p>
  
  <p>I googled it and came to know that i have to change in the manifest file. So, i changed in the <code>AndroidManifest.XML</code> with the code,</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:icon="@drawable/icon"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>"icon"</strong> is my image name. </p>
  
  <p>What is the problem here? Why i am not getting my own icon? I am new to this Android Environment. </p>
  
  <p>I followed this article <a href="http://smartgap.wordpress.com/2012/08/11/customizing-launch-icon-on-eclipsephonegap-application/" rel="nofollow">http://smartgap.wordpress.com/2012/08/11/customizing-launch-icon-on-eclipsephonegap-application/</a></p>
  
  <p>My Manifest File :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
