Is there any way to customize the home touch buttons? I've seen some different ones in various ROM's, but I wondered if there was an independent mod I could flash, or even an app that would offer a variety of themes.
I use the Substratum app. Only use it for the home keys or it will cause problems. Download the Softkeyz stater pack and look at the examples in the play store to see what you like. You will only see the names of the diff styles in the substratum app, not the icons.

Since the calculator has some nifty looking buttons, I was wondering if there was a way to mod the dialer buttons to use the calculator buttons instead?
try open home or some other home screen replacement. some of them have themes that change the buttons on the dialer. Or check out the themes section of the forums. Some of those themes modify the dialer buttons look.
I would rather not install one of the home alternative, they eat up too much memory and slow the phone way down. I wonder if its just some xml hacking, ill check it out in a bit
I think I did this back when I first got my G2, but I've forgotten how...
If you have one theme installed, how can you select specific icons from another theme?
In the theme I have installed, certain apps that happen to have icons defined by the theme naturally default to those theme styles. But the some of the stock icons are actually better, IMO. So, while I remain in this theme, can I select some stock icon styles?
Sorry if this has been explained too many times before.

Try pressing and holding the icon you want to change and then click the purple brush that appears.
Edit: by pressing and holding I mean long pressing
Thanks! Got that, but the icons that are offered are only from my selected theme - not from the stock LG theme.
I seem to recall that there is some other way - or an extension of this - that provides access to other icons outside of the selected theme.
Ah, sorry then. Been a while since I was completely stock. So I'm working off my memory. I was sure that you could still pick an icon somehow.
I used unicon for my themes until I just ended up using a different launcher. I'm not sure if it's any help.
No worries. I appreciate your input.
Hi,
I have done this but can't remember the app I used. It was called icon extractor or something and allowed you to extract icons from themes into your gallery.
Then when you long press the icon on your homescreen to get the purple indicator you can choose the icon from your gallery.

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
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to disable the rounded icons from nokia.
For example the play store icons (and various others) come with this circle arround the icon instead the normal icon in the form of the logo.
Thanks.
Not likely. You can alter themes mostly in Custom ROMs, which Nokia 5 doesn't have.
You can download custom launcher like nova or lawnchair (stock launcher with more customization), which support custom icon packs.

You can disable them by modifiying framework-res.apk but it requires root.
Today I bought an icon pack, as I wanted to change the look of my home screen.
Installed it, applied it. It filled almost all my apps.
For the ones not included I have thousands of icons, theoretically, to choose from in the icon pack. I say theoretically because when I long press an app, go to Edit mode, choose the icon pack I've bought... I'm shown only a very small subset of what's available in the icon pack.
How can I solve this?
There should be an app icon in the drawer for the icon pack, try using that?

Yes, there's an app for the icon pack. It allows you to look at all the available icons (all 3,600 of them), to apply the icon pack for compatible launchers (OP is not there, but the icon pack applied with no problem through home screen settings).
The problem is that to modify single icons you go into Edit mode, as described above, but only a very small subset (144 icons out of 3,600) of the availabe icons is displayed. For instance, there are like nine different colors for music apps (with stylized headphones in different colors), but I have no way of accessing them.
If a solution exists I didn't find it. I ended up using my Nova launcher license and switched to it. All icons became instantly selectable for any single app.
