Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    Does anyone know of any other launcher that let’s you change the icon of an app to whatever image you want in your gallery? Because i have gotten to really like that level of customization and nothing else I’ve found let’s me

        I’ve now tried this, and while I could probably get used to it fairly easily, unless I’m missing something it doesn’t have the capability I was talking about, which is the ability to change apps to have custom icons, not just icons found in theme packs

          lawnchair > settings > desktop > lock desktop ☜ make sure this is disabled

          then long press (touch?) an icon and choose customize (pencil). touch the icon on the new menu that comes up and you should have the option to choose “open photos”

          voilà

            Mine isn’t locked and all I see is icon packs, though I have found a way around it by making a custom pack using an app I found on f-droid

                  i had to factoryReset and installed lawnchair from fdroid and then i tried the Lawnchair.14.0.0.Beta on their official site too. On these versions, like you wrote, it’s not possible.

                  only lawnchair-2-0-2589 from Aurora store (on google play store) has that option 🤷

                    That would explain it, I wish there was a good option that didn’t have to go through google, I’m trying to avoid them as much as I can on an android phone
