Yes. Actually I never really thought of it in any other way. You can do it through your launcher settings or usually the icon pack itself has a way to apply it (left side, should be there).

I mean, for example if I was in settings and I went into my apps instead of seeing their default icons I would see the icons from my selected icon pack. So no matter where I was seeing the icon it would be the Icon pack's icon. Hope this helps.

In settings>apps specifically? No I dont think itll switch the icons there but it will change them all on your homescreen and in app drawer.
I use Action Launcher 3 and I can apply all from the launcher settings. Or like I said, open the icon pack itself and tap apply.

Yeah, but if it's only in your launcher it isn't system wide.

You need a custom launcher that supports icon packs. Android launcher doesn't provide native support for icon packs. Icons are applied system wide if you are using a custom launcher and make it your default homescreen instead of Android's launcher. However, most icon packs will be missing icons for at least some of your apps. Some icon packs attempt to theme those icons and others just leave the stock icon.

Your launcher is system wide. You need to make the custom launcher your default home instead of Android's launcher. The launcher changes your home screens and your app drawer.

There was a xposed module that allow you to do that, change icons system wide. I didn't tried it lately, but used to work fine.
It's called Unicon, by Faruq Rasid, search for it in the PlayStore.
Edit: You're on N, so no xposed for you, Sorry.

Nova does the same but easier.

I thought Nova only did it for the home screen. Even if it does, I think only the Pro version would do it. This solution is free.
I don't even remember Nova launcher having that option.

Nova NON PRO (aka free) version gives you the option to remove the navigation bar on ALL screens.
Look under nova settings > desktop > persistent search bar (choose option).

I got the PRIME version (paid) and selecting persistent search bar to Never doesn't get rid of the navigation bars.

Hmm don't know what to tell you. I have the free Nova launcher and I don't see the google nav bar on ANY of my screens on my Nexus 7 2013.

Wait, search bar or nav bar? It's two totally different things.

You're right. It's nova settings > look and feel > show notification bar. But like you said it only does it if you're on the home screen or in the dock. Once you open anything else like an app or phone settings, the notification bar will appear. I have prime but i'm pretty sure it's still an option if you have the free version if i'm not mistaken.

[Q] Android Icon app drawer

I am in the process of completing an android icon pack. I have all the icons complete and know how to apply each icon to their app, But I cannot find an activity for the app drawer Icon to apply my icon to. I tried DDMS but that did not show any activity when pressed. I have see many Icon packs have a custom Icon for the app drawer.
So how would I use my icon on the app drawer icon for my icon pack.

You can't change the icon, and even if you were rooted it would be very difficult. The status bar requires root to do anything with it.

So I'm not quite sure you can actually change it. Even Nova, one of my favorite launchers, doesn't change it from default. I think that short of writing your own ROM, you may be out of luck.
Sorry, I really wish I had a better answer than that.

Icon packs for LG G6?

Hello, does LG G6 support icon packs? I can't find a way to set them, and I tried several different ones.
Nope need 3rd party launcher
I use Nova launcher and Urmun icon set & infinite S8 icon pack set
i used Nova and then switched and purchased Action Launcher. I like it better after using Nova off and on for a few years minus the iphone 6+ year and The GS7 as i was satisfied with the themes from they're theme store.

You can edit the icon image by long pressing on it, then select edit option and select an image, you can use this app = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.themex
To extract icon images from icon packages of your liking.
I have set AOSP icons on the stock theme, pretty cool now!

Custom icons on stock launcher?

I'm now using the stable Oreo release and can't remember if on 7.1.1 or even the Oreo beta if you were able to change individual app icons with icon pack you downloaded. was this possible because now you can't and the icon pack I use I want to change some of the default selections of icons without switching launchers. Any ideas?
touch and hold icon
drag to edit on top of screen
click on icon choose desired icon

I'm running Nova and I don't have that issue.
You might need to tweak the settings but I came from a LG G6 and my settings just worked.
hi, in settings what have you got your display settings as? default with default font? are you in immersive with nav bar dropping away after a few seconds or is it static? thanks
Fixed: some conflict (I guess) between settings in Nova/Evia and immersive and resized Navbar. so I just went back to stock settings and restored a nova backup and all is well.
