I am on a Paranoid Android port at:

Google Experience Launcher using this method:
http://phandroid.com/2013/10/31/download-and-install-the-new-google-experience-launcher/
Transparency works (has slider for transparency) on default launcher that came with the ROM in App section of Paranoid Android App specific settings under "Color". The code is "00FFFFFF" for the transparent color
Trying to repeat the same steps for the New "Google Experience" Launcher there is no slider so I try and manually input "00FFFFFF". I press the check mark, press home, and its still black.
What am I doing wrong? Or can it even support transparency? What doesn't make any sense is that it is transparent on the Nexus 5 by default..

Give us the icon!
For the navigation bar icons you could use a new Xposed Module called Android L Navigation bar, works excellent
also, you can use the Android L preview Keyboard (no root needed) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=es&id=uk.co.shenye.android.inputmethod.latin
Thanks for the link to the L preview keyboard. I have tried it on my 1st gen Nexus 7. It works fine, I tested it using English and Spanish. I have spent an hour going to and fro between the 4.4.2 keyboard and the L. I can find no difference in the swipe response, keyboard responsiveness etc. The L keyboard is missing the long press functions ie. long press "g" gets the "&" etc. I happen to use the long press functions quite a bit so the L keyboard is a disappointment in this respect. It looks l like the L keyboard is just a cosmetic change ATM. Maybe the final official release will get more improvements? A minor fault that I found that is the default keyboard color scheme cannot be changed, it's a minor detail. But I wanted to try changing the color scheme because the English/Spanish info in the space bar is very feint and harder to see on the standard L color scheme. The L "look" is cleaner, more Apple like, but I have decided to revert to using the 4.4.2 AOSP version.

No, you can change icons with nova launcher. Long press on an app on your homescreen and choose "edit". Then touch the current icon to choose a new one.
Bootanimation - https://mega.co.nz/#!Vx02xbhR!kZ2kfLxmgccUcxCEWMaDraOLKm1FyXSpwQ64v0iqWcY
Not a flashable zip
Backup and replace the original bootanimation.zip in /system/media/
Change the permission like the original one - rw/r/r
tinted status bar
To replicate it more you can install a xposed framework module called 'tinted status bar'. This allows your status bar adapt the color of the action bar, though android l uses a darker color for status bar compared to action bar. And yeah, you need root access!

There's a new xposed module which allow you to set the New Android L softkeys much easy. See screenshot.

Try this paid icon pack , it's as close as possible to the L icons
What the title says. I have nova launcher installed and none of the icons change after I apply a theme. In nova I selected "system" for the icon theme but that didn't help. The new theme icons appear only in the touchwiz launcher.
Anyone knows how I can have the new theme icons appear in nova?

I don't think you can with Nova for some reason, any time I use a theme from galaxy theme park or Samsung theme store it only changes the edge panel icons and notification shade. I usually find an icon pack for Nova that goes good with theme and just go from there.
Btw some great free themes here

It doesn't work like that...
Samsung themes won't change the icons when using Nova Launcher - only stock Samsung Launcher.
In order to change your icons with Nova, you have to go into Google Play Store and download/purchase Nova Launcher compatible icons.
if it's for the home screen(s), you can use Icon Changer Free. That should still work with Nova. But as far as the app drawer, I dont really know what to tell you. You're probably stuck with Nova-specific themes
I am aware that this is an S7 forum, however, that is happening to me as well. I also have Nova Launcher but used the theme app within the Note 8 to just change the icons and everything went smooth, all icons have changed except for 1 icon. When I try to edit the icon to change it to system since it is essentially a system icon, it doesn't change at all and I am unable to just manually change the icon to what it should be because it is part of the system and not a separate icon pack. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still the same thing. Any suggestions?
Sorry if my post shouldn't be here but when I googled about the situation, this forum came up. Please feel free to move it where it should be if necessary.
Update: I tried it again, but what I actually did was in the app drawer, I pulled the app search down, searched for the app, went to edit shortcut, clicked the icon and the icon shows up again, selected it and the system app automatically changed to the original system app.
If you've seen the new Google Pixel phone lately then you probably saw the outstanding looking launcher on it. If your a fan of stock Android look then you will love this, or if your also a Google Now fan.
Below I have also included a screenshot of what you will be getting. :good:
Guide:
1. Download the attached Pixel Launcher APK file
2. Download the attached Wallpaper app (required to run alongside this launcher).
3. Go to home > click Pixel Launcher > Home again > Click "always" (so it's set as the deafault launcher).
To get to the awesome new and shiny wallpaper sections and other settings within the launcher, hold down on the home screen and you will see a list of options, wallpaper brings you to the new wallpaper area exclusive to the Pixel Launcher, Widgets is the standard section, settings brings you to the settings of the launcher.
If you want the icons then you will need to download them from a different source. Sorry I cannot supply them here!
hi, i installed the two apps but i get a response ,,Unfortunately, Pixel Launcher has stopped, is there a workaround for that? thank you
