i have developed a small application alson build for android in corona, and installed on my device , so i like to change the default application icon ( instead of corona icon) to my custom icon
, so how can i do that ?
See all those Icon*.png files in your folder with your main.lua? Replace them with your own Icons. No Icons there? Then you need to add them. See: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#appicons

but even after install to device (Android) its the same icon (Corona icon) only change is the , in the insallatation process i can see the my custom icon .
do i have to specify that in the main.lua using code ?
Hi @adamrifau,
It should recognize the icons automatically, if you include them. Are they located in your main folder (not a sub-folder)? Are they standard .png files with no embedded “ICC profile” or anything strange?

is there any sample images i can use for testing any recommendation because i couldn’t make it work for launcher app icon still the default ,
yes my icons are in the main folder
Hi @adamrifau,
Can you take a screenshot of your project’s main folder and the files within it? Also, can you post the code for your build.settings file?
Thanks,
Brent
Hi @Brent Sorrentino
Here’s my build.setting file code
[lua]settings =
{
orientation = {default = “landscapeRight”}
}[/lua]

If you have an image for your new icon (1024x1024 preferred) this site can create all the icons for you:
Hi @adamrifau,
Nothing looks incorrect in your directory. Can you please download the following test icons and drop those into your project for testing? I just took the Corona logo and tinted them blue:

Hi @Brent Sorrentino
first of all i want thank you, and appriciate your help.
ok so i have tested these icons in my project, first it didn’t work on my samsung S3, then i tested on Sony xperia it worked on that device. 
My phone is rooted and cyanogenmod is running on my device. so i was wondering why launcher icon doesn’t appear on my device. is that because of custom ROM ?
Corona SDK does not support Jailbroken or Rooted devices. Testing stock Android is tough enough. There is no way we can possibly work with rooted devices. Too many variables.
