Hi guys,
I'm a long time android user that's been enjoying the iphone 7 plus for the last 6 months. Couldn't resist the charm of the S8 so have switched allegiances again. The one thing that is really grating on me however is the ugly icons. Samsung has done a good job of making theirs look nice but beyond that they have just stick the original icon in a box.
I am not particularly fond of the stock Google ones that are all different shapes and sizes. I really want an iOS icon pack as they all have the same look and feel regardless of the app. I've searched the Samsung themes and there are no really compete packs and have tried downloading the icon packs from here but no way to apply them.
Anyone know where and how I can get an icon pack and apply through the themes?
I also prefer the iOS emojis
One of the very few benefits of having an iPhone, Emojis and iMessage lol.

You may download the "Textra" messaging app. Which I believe is better than the stock messaging app. Then you may download an iOS icon pack for textra and use it, but only in Textra.

Hey,
I have come from an iPod Touch to a kfire to a nexus 7 and now I am using a bit my iTouch again and would like to ask you guys if you know any proper iOS styled launchers or a complete N7 ROM.
List that I tried and think are crap: Eisper Launcher, Turbo Launcher and fake iPhone 5S
I would like a launcher that is scaled properly for tablets and that is atleast slightly appealing to my eyes.
Also, is there a Cydia alternative for Android?
I use Nova launcher which gives a lot of flexibility. While I can't see why anyone would want an iOS theme on there (yes, tastes vary!), I did find several OS theme packs via a Google search. For example:

Touchwiz is a bit more refined than the resource hog it was a number of years ago but it's still not good enough.
I've tried them all and always go back to Nova Launcher, it's definitely the best of them all IMO.
I use touchwiz and nova, can decide what is best?
Nova here. Love my home screens full of things and using the device screen res to it´s full...

Usually end up using nova prime, but I'm surprised with the level of customization Sammy has embedded in this version of TouchWiz. Plus having 5×5 and themes is all I really need

The best launcher in my opinion is TotalLauncher. It was sslauncher before and it's Fer months new.
Best is that you are not limited by grid, widgets can overlap, you can launch them in window and lot of thing like resize by milimeters or rotate everything. Works even better with zooper another customization stuff.
No one else launcher have such a posibilites. It's like apple versus android. Normal launchers are plus minus like apple and this launcher is like android. You can change everything.
But my question because my edge plus will come tomorow...with custom launcher will be edge features working? Like edge apps edge people?

Hi,
I have never used one of the edge phones before, and was wondering if the display notifications on the edge of the screen only work with Touchwiz?
i normally use nova launcher on my S5 and was wondering if i will lose out on any features if i continue to when buying the S7 edge?
Cheers

AFAIK, the edge notifications are only available with screen off, with the screen on you get the default heads up notifications of android 6.0, so no, they aren't launcher dependent. But you'll need a stock based ROM though (which anyways isn't a case atm, because there aren't any others, but still).
Using Apex launcher with full edge functionality without issues.
Why install Nova or Apex? Are they faster? What do they offer what Touchwiz does not? I personally don't like the way Touchwiz/icons looks but saw you can make it look like stock Android 6 with a simple theme change.
Grid size/number change on app drawer and home screen, all widgets resize possibility, put one widget under the other one (cross them), a lot of beautiful themes/icon packs that touchwith don't have, ios 6 like folders design, transparent status bar, animation...
BTW, Miui ROM has amazing design, so there is MIUI 5 and MIUI 7 - ICON PACK by tung91 on Play Market with hundreds miui icons. The first one is free and it´s similar to donate version.
Yes obviously

No, I use nova and it works fine.
When I got my s7 with marshmallow, I loved that the homescreen icons were essentially the material design style in their full glory.
But when I took the ota for nougat, all my icons changed to the new theme style. It shrinks the original icon, puts it in a square box with rounded corners and a random solid colored background. I hated it. But none of the reviews about the nougat update even mentioned it.
I bring it up here because I see that the s8 is the same style. What did everyone else think about it?
I hate the fact that the icons are modified and the result is not what the original designers of those icons intended. To me they look tacky.
Buy a theme

Are we really talking about icons?

You can change back to normal icons in Settings, under Display.
You can have any icons you like, Nova launcher for example can be customised in a crazy number of ways. With Samsung's theme store, you have even more choices if you want to use the stock launcher for some reason. The stock icons have no relevance, you don't have to see them.

I feel really embarrassed. I thought I had looked all over but apparently I missed that one setting called "icon framing". Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I was previously using an icon pack downloaded from the Samsung theme store
I have the android version and when I switch to an alternate launcher like Pixel Launcher or Nova the keyboard shortcuts for things like the app drawer always take me back to Lenovo Launcher.
Can these be modified at all? Thanks.

I don't think so. It's a very specific device, and the keyboard relation with the launcher is very close. Don't believe it's a device proper to be very personalized. It gives you a very unique experience, but it has it reverse side. You love it or hate it. But you can't change many things.
It's my first Android device that I've not deeply modified and not even rooted! And that's a lot to say.
I personally love it (not in everything, but mostly). It results to fit my necessities very accurately. But I had to accept that it is what it is and how it is.
