changing the home screen icon

[WPCentral Question]

The home screen icon for the phone is a picture of an old time phone receiver. Can that icon be changed to a picture?

I think you can do it with some 3rd party apps. I'm sure I've seen something like that around but not sure what apps were used.

After reading this, I played around with more than a handful of tile skinning applications and while many of them worked really well, they were unable to replace the Phone tile. Just about every other tile (and quick setting) could be shortcutted except for Phone.

Sorry about that :/

If interested, Skinery Themes is one of the apps I liked best.
