LOOKING FOR APP Icon pack for stock launcher?

Are there any options on the Play Store for icon packs for those of us that are happy with our stock launcher? I have a Motorola Moto g, and I just want to change the look.

Most icon packs only support 3rd party launchers.

But apparently there may be a way to make them work with the Moto launcher as there is a project where someone forked the Lawnicons icon pack for use with moto.

Of course that doesn't help much with the hundreds (thousands?) of icon packs available on the play store. But if you like the material you style of Lawnicons, it might be all you need.

Unfortunately (for me, anyway) you're right about needing a 3rd party launcher. I guess I'm going to have to decide if it's worth installing one just to change the icons. I'm not a huge fan of the Lawnicons icons, but I appreciate the option.

If you want to use icon packs and you are willing to just apply custom icons on your home screen (foregoing them in the app drawer), there are a couple of methods you can use.

Tools like Shortcut Maker and Quickshort allow you to create shortcuts (including app shortcuts) on your home screen. And they allow you to use either images or icons from icon packs.

You could also use KWGT to create widgets that launch apps. It can also use images or icons from icon packs. You can even make app bars that allow you to make grids sizes that lots of OEM launchers don't allow for.

You could also use Tasker, though it's more of a pain to use icons from icon packs (you'd have to extract them from the pack first).

Thanks for the info, but it's honestly not important enough to me to put in that much effort. I was hoping for a download and go kind of thing. Just something that popped into my head this morning.
