Hi All, recently installed paranoid android, anyone got any idea how i create shortcuts with my own icons? the default launcher doesnt seem to have anywhere i can change it. and i dont wanna install another launcher ideally.
couldn't one simply long press a app's icon on the home screen and then tap EDIT? then you can search for the icon you want to replace it with. I believe that's how I did it.

You would need a custom launcher like Nova Launcher to edit your icons

You installed a completely new, and alpha, ROM. Why do you hesitate to install a new launcher?
The latest Nova launcher will even import your icon and screen layouts from the stock launcher.
Sure would like to do this with out adding a launcher as well. Not sure Nova or any other launcher can duplicate all the different looks to your homepage that Paranoid Android is mostly flashed for.
Edit: flashing a launcher will do the trick disregard the above BS.

Use ADW launcher.
install xposed framework and then icontheme module ,works with stock paranoid launcher
Heyo
Wondering how i would go about removing the notification bar that shows battery etc.
I am using ADW launcher ex, but can't for the life of me seem to find the option for it anymore. I swear it used to be there when i used it for my galaxy s2.
If adw doesn't have it anymore do you have any recommendations for another launcher app that would do the trick.
Thanks in advance!

Ah bugger.
Will have a look to see if other launchers hide that bar.

I've got an issue with various clock widgets on my Note 3. Each of them, sense flip clock, fancy widgets and hd widgets when used on my home screen don't always update the time, it's almost as though it's frozen. I did some digging and it could be down to any battery saving app, I've uninstalled juice defender but the issue is still there.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

used to have the same problem with my note1, the problem is with other launchers (Apex Pro launcher) but not exist with touchwiz
I have my phone rooted, but I don't want to change to another launcher.
Is there a way i can remove it ?.
i really like the touchwiz launcher, the only thing bothers me is the apps Icon.
I asked if it could be moved and didn't get a response so I doubt it!

I was on the same boat but I don't think u can so I installed the Nova Launcher and IMO the smaller icons are nicer and you can remove it
Moved? No. Removed? Yes. You can enable the Samsung Labs option in the settings (I don't remember where it is, but google it), and then you'll get the option to disable the app drawer.
If you don't want to remove it, then your only option it to change launcher. I personally recommend either Nova Launcher (Prime) or Action Launcher (Pro)
Do you use S8 Samsung experience or different launcher? if you use different launcher, which one? and why?
I've always used Nova. Has way more customization settings and I can mix and match different icon packs. The stock galaxy launcher just doesn't compete.
It looks like I am getting older, as on the S8 I do not use Nova, which I used since the days of HTC Sensation.
Using nova, love it. Can do a few of the things i lost without root & xposed.
Use nova now as with a few others my delete shorcut button when you hold your finger on an icon had stopped working.
Using Nova on every smartphone. Stock ones doesn't fit my needs.
I use Nova also. Stock launchers have too little options to customize.
I like stock. It has some functionality that Nova doesnt have (like multiple app cards even if they are not full, i.e. you can have a an app card for just one app if u want.) and ability to move any app icon anywhere. Nova is alphabetical only, and forces you to have folders at the very top.
I still use nova though.
Nova it is.
Nova prime on my every device
I have been using ActionLauncher3 for a few years and see myself continuing to use it for the foreseeable future.
I used Nova (Prime) on my S5, S6, and S7, but with the S8, I'm using the stock launcher. The reason I hated Touchwiz before was that the app drawer button couldn't be moved, but the new swipe up app drawer gesture on the S8 works for me.
holy jesus nova is popular for no reason, like its a stock launcher that you can change the icons on
I use lawn-chair from here https://github.com/deletescape-media/lawnchair
Open source and pretty good
i used Evie Launcher seems cool
I was using nova for a long time, but since s8 I'm staying with touchwiz, now I'm using modded touchwiz, it had some some features i was missing from nova like double tap to sleep, and has everything I need.
Pixel Launcher or TouchWiz

Is this modded TouchWiz for root only?

I don't think you have a clue what Nova can actually do. Looks are deceiving. It still is one of the most powerful feature wise.

except you can easily remap gestures on the screen (with prime), customize notification labels (tesla), completely change look and feel of homescreen/app drawer/dock, add multiple dock pages, change margins, persistant search bar, overlap widgets, add folders to app drawer, stick dock to the top, backup settings and import on different devices. did i forgot something?
i think you are right, theres no reason for it to be popular, it's like a stock launcher.
