How do I change app icons without jailbreak?

I know there are apps that create a shortcut, but I actually wanna change them, replace the icons. I tried using iPhone Explorer, but after following directions carefully I could not change my icons. I guess it's because it's a 2010 program... I have an iPad Mini. Anyone know how to replace icons?

Hi again,
You cannot change third party app icons.
If you want to change built-in app icons, there is a way (well, not really change them, but create a new icon in addition to the existing one).
First, you would need to download an app like https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/touch-icon-creator/id357419508?mt=8. This lets you create custom icons for contacts, phone numbers, URLs, etc. You are interested in URLs.
You can create a custom icon then point it to a URL. For example, if you wanted a new icon for Maps, you would enter maps:// as the URL. Then tapping the icon would take you to the Maps app. This works for some of the built-in apps.

    Hi,
    you are working with a percentage width of your tables, for example:
    table width="123%
    td width="75%"
    td width="25%"
    So it is simply a arithmetic problem to get the proportional wide (means the ratio of % to cm) of your images, so that they do not break the frame. Certainly you could use (translated from German DW) "properties" and change the sizes there:

  • HT4623 How do I retore app icons to screen after IO6 update?  They now appear only in App store list

    How do I retore app icons to screen after IO6 update?  They now appear only in App store list

    Go to iTunes, click on Apps in the left window, to bring up your app library. Then click on "check for updates" in the right window, bottom corner. If there are any updates available, you'll be notified of the number and you'll have to choose the apps you want to update in the next screen shown, or update them all at once after filling in your password.
    You can also click on one app in the library and choose "get info" to see the actual version saved in your library.

  • How do I change the icon representing my bookmark? I don't want the one that comes up automatically.

    How do I change the icon representing my bookmark? I don't want the one that comes up automatically.

    I'm trying to change an icon on a bookmark. These are the instructions I received: 'Lets you replace a bookmark's icon / favicon. Right click any bookmark, select "Properties", then "Browse". '
    But there is no "Browse" when you select "Properties". So what do I do?
    When I go into the regular Google it has a 'Change Icon' tab in the 'Properties' tab. Why doesn't Mozilla?

    You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

  • How can I change Firefox language without having to download it again?

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how I can change firefox language, without having to download and re-install it again. I read there is a way to do it, but I just can't find the language file I have to download. (I have firefox in french, and i want to set it in spanish)
    thanks for your answers

    You need an English language version and there is no en-US language pack in Firefox 3.6. If you do not want the download the en-US version then you can install the en-GB language and switch to that version and remove the Spanish es-ES language pack from the chrome folder in the Firefox program folder.
    You can find all language pack here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.11/win32/xpi/.
    You can install language pack just like extensions.<br />
    You can set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language ("en-GB") on the about:config page.<br />
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.<br />
    Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.
