Option to 'steal' icon image from existing applications when creating a custom icon image #371

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Select the icon type:
 - Select picture
 - Select and crop picture
 - ADWTheme IconPacks

I would like an additional option:

 - Use Icon from app

This function would use the launcher icon image from an existing app.  The 
image is contained in the apk for that app located in /system/app/ 

eg. When I add opera mini to the dockbar, I would like to use the existing icon 
from the default browser.

This would require root access...

What proportion of your users have root access, must be fairly high?  Can you 
detect presence of super user app, and then add "steal" option if user is 
rooted?  Would this be something you would add, or is it a no-go bc of root 
required?
