EXTREME minimal Homescreen: just a problem. - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm trying to get an extreme minimal Homescreen.
So, this is my Home, without navbar, statusbar and icons:

The last thing I want to do, is hide this icon:

Anyone knows how to do that?

You can get apk editor pro on the play store and probably delete the page indicator in the layout?

You can install a launcher from the playstore, personally i recommend Nova Launcher its so smooth and customizable. And then on play store there are just a million Icon Packs that you can download and play with it.

Why not visit the google play store, there you will see and find a lot of
icon packs for your phone.
Here is the icon packs link at the play store if you want to check it out:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=icon%20pack&c=apps&hl=en
The nice part about these icon packs is that they are not dependent as to
which launcher you want to use, these icon packs work with just about
any launcher and launcher themes.
Best of all most of them are free downloads! LOL

[Q] Block recent apps and status bar

Hi,
I installed "One Locker" from the Play Store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.onelocker ) and I noticed when I press the home button, the app don't close. Also, I can't pull down the status bar.
How is this possible without setting the app as a launcher, like many other lockscreen apps are doing?
Question is also in the following post.

It is possible by overriding the onUserLeaveHint() method of the activity class and using the AlarmManager class. But as a security feature, the task u want to perform starts after 5 seconds. If u want to remove this delay then ull have to write ur own HomeLauncher.

I want to avoid that because if I use Nova launcher for example and set my lockscreen app as launcher (Nova will be opened by my app), then Nova will be in the recent apps and I really don't like this.

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!

Correct, why don't you use that instead?
How to apply icon pack? Because I have some supported by LG Home but when I click apply it turns on the screen selection.

Android 9 and System Tuner

Has system tuner been removed from Android 9? How can it be accessed?? I'm unable to find it anywhere.
Yes it's been removed since the beginning of the Android P betas. There is a way to get to it. I believe you need to use Nova Launcher and there's a widget shortcut you can add to the homescreen that still gets you to the tuner but I'm not [emoji817] sure.

Confirmed: you can use Nova to create a shortcut, but most any activity picker app should be able to point to it.
Do a Google search for "system tuner Android 9" and one of the links gives a Nova tutorial on how to do it. The one I used was from Android police.. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...e-spotlight-heres-bring-back-system-ui-tuner/
Alternately, I used QuickShortcutMaker. It's under the DemoMode header, but it launches the system tuner instead..

Remove the weather from the home screen.

Hi
Is it possible to remove the weather from the home screen?
Thanks.
OK, after nearly 1,5 hours playing different settings, nothing happen.
So, I just install Nova Launcher - free and very customise.
But, if someone find way how to remove weather from home screen in pixel launcher - please share.

I just use lawnchair. But you can also use Pixel launcher editor with substratum.
i recommend Nova Launcher! also recommend using Nova Google Companion which adds swiping left on home screen for Google Now / news feeds just like Pixel Launcher if you miss that feature. i just wish they add dark mode support :crying:. Nova last update the companion in 2017 but still works perfect.
i cant post external link because im too new, but apk is download from nova official site. it is safe:
https : // help. teslacoilapps. com / nowcompanion
make sure to add to integrations in nova settings after installing apk
Guess not.
