Android 6.0.1
Google Launcher
Material Theme from Samsung store applied
Some icons (gallery, phone, messages) appear as touch wiz icons and not as applied theme
I think themed icons from Sammy themes only work with touchwiz launcher. I use this excellent little app to change icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger It changes the Icons on your screen by creating a shortcut but doesn't change it in the app drawer though.

thanks will have a look...
dunno, with Lollipop behaviour was erratic: recently for sure the icons were the themed ones at the beginning they were the samsung ones, but I am not sure what had changed to cause the switch from samsung to themed icons

Hi folks,
I used the search function but I don't know how to search for that
I was wondering if it is possible to get that colored icon background in standard Sense appdrawer like it is in Galaxy S?
For example: In our Desire with standard Sense appdrawer we have the icon for an app with transparent background, so you only see the icon itself. But I want to have the icon on a colored square matching the colors of the app-icon like in Galaxy S appdrawer.
I like this smooth appearence in appdrawer of Samsung Galaxy S, everything is clean and each icon has the same dimensions.
Is it possible to add this feature to Sense appdrawer?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if you manually edit each apps apk with the desired background icon...but they would appear like that on homescreen too.
Why not use Touchwiz launcher? It's not too bad...but of course you lose HTC Widgets.

Touchwiz is very uncomfortable in my opinion... and editing each apk is a LOT of work!
I guess it is only a small fragment of code which places a background behind the icons in Touchwiz, but what exactly is it?
Maybe I have some time to develop something own next weekend

MIUI does it, but that's a whole rom(no apart launcher).
Can i get normal icons for TripNMIUI.
I love the theme but i don't like the icons and launcher.
I use different launcher but icons don't look good in that.
So is there any icon pack with normal icons for this ROM ?

Tons! Try the android 2.3 icon set/theme
Unfortunately, the 2.3 Icons are smaller than the regular icons and look weird on the regular launchers like Zeam. I would honestly love to know a solution to this problem as well due to the good battery life on MIUI.

I just tried and they were bigger than normal for me... Are you sure you're using the right 2.3 theme?
I use apex launcher with a custom theme pack that changes the icons. But on the lock screen the icons are the default ones so it makes it look weird when you transition from the lock screen to the phone screen.
They don't change because the lockscreen is part of the system not the launcher you use. Same reason why when you go to the multitasking screen the icons there aren't changed. There is an app called icon themer that changes your stock icons. Search it up and good luck!

Thanks, but my device isn't rooted. Oh well guess I'll just wait and hope it will be supported eventually.

You can use a custom lock screen app to change your lock screen like widget locker - no root required.
I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.
There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.
Flat Style Bar, check it out.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.
Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.
Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...
Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess
Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
