the only bad thing on the icon packs is it clutters the app list.

Thats true, I might have found a solution to make things a bit more convenient. I tried using pics stored on my phone as icons (full size wallpapers) and it re-sizes them automatically. It does a really good job at it too, making it easy to create icons. I'm looking for icon packs online to add to a folder in my sd card so I can just take the icons I like and keep them there. Then when I go to use Bettercut I'll just put a period in front of my other picture folders so the program will only see the icons folder I created. I think this is going to work a lot better, plus, the icon pack install to the phones memory using up valuable space, doing it this way will just take up space on the sd card instead of the internal memory

You know how or figure out how to delete shortcuts you made for apps

Just drag the one on your homescreen into the trashcan, when you re-add it, it will be whatever the default icon is/was.

no not from the homescreen i mean the app itself. when you go to edit shortcut. i meant remove it from there.

Looking into it now, so far it looks like it keeps your last used settings until you change them again if you go through the main app like that. I hadn't noticed it because I always access it with either a long press on the homescreen or pressing menu while on the home screen and that takes you directly to the page with the "actions" setting which is what I've been using.

I broke down and bought it. I think the best thing for me to do is manage icons on my computer and store them in a directory on the sd card in .php format. I really like how it's cleaned up my desktop.

Why in .php format? What benefit does this offer? I'm definitely going to figure out a way to store icon packs as images on the SD card because i currently have 23 icon packs in my phone taking up a total of 27.5 MB of internal storage space.

i only have the creature icon pack since i didn't really like any of the 20-30 i downloaded and once i can find that online for SD use ill just uninstall it from phone and use it from the sd card as well.

Here ya go peoples. I out together an icon pack that you can just put into your SD card. When you tap the "change icon" just select "pick picture" and then select an icon. If you want to exclude the pics from your gallery just put a "." in front of the folder when not changing icons and they wont show up in the gallery.
