How do I change the app icon apk?

AC Question

changing app icon apk

I've been researching on here for a few days trying to figure out exactly how I should go about using a custom icon (or really just an icon I found and would like to use instead) for the 3rd party SMS app (chomp) I use as my default instead of stock SMS. I'm getting very helpful information but I am also finding that changing anything in a system app requires copying more apk files into apktool to decompile in xml editor and then recompiling. I know that system apps do not need to be signed, but 3rd party apps do, so does this make the entire process of editing different (as in which apk files to copy)?

What about just using Apex launcher and editing the icon through it. It's very very simple. Just a few taps and you are good to go. You can use any image/icon you want.
