Hi, I'm running ADW Launcher on my SGSIIE4GT and I want to change the App launcher icon from ADW's stock image to the one that's on ICS...How would I go about doing this...? Thanks

Assuming you have the ICS icon downloaded, double tap (if on the dock) on the app launcher icon, got to edit, click on the image and then choose the icon from the gallery.

Okay: This is easy-peasy.
First, long-press your app-drawer icon and pull it out of your dock.
(You'll move it from this:
Attachment 826338
to this:
Attachment 826339
Next, long-press the icon again, and this will pop up,
Attachment 826343
press edit, and you'll see this:
Attachment 826350
Now, you can put whatever you want in its place, like this:
Attachment 826356
Finally, after you have the new icon picked out, you'll see it on your homescreen:

then, just long-press it and drag it back down into your dock, like so:

And, you're all done.

Thanks for the help. Worked like a CHARM. Honestly, I thought it was going to be MUCH more difficult than that...

Thanks again!!!!

Np, sorry some of those attachments didn't UL correctly, but you figured it out, I guess.
(I'm not on a PC, sometimes the XDA app is wonky.)
