Personally im not sure this is possible, at least not without tweaking apk or something. I would be interested to see how to do this though, assuming theres a way.

Re: Rename an app icon?
I wonder if there a rename command that you can use in adb? The apk might not run properly though.

Re: Rename an app icon?
i downloaded the silent mode toggle from the app store and when you add the widget to your home screen it first prompts you to name the icon... i wonder if this can be applied to any icon?

You do know that you can get a refund on any Android Market purchase within the first 24 hours, right?
