You can't change the quick settings icons without messing with systemUI i think, but MiFavor 5's themes actually look like they let you change that stuff. i'll try today maybe.
The problem is that I don't know where the downloaded themes are stored. And last time, when I tried with mifavor 4.2, swapping a stock theme with mine didn't work

I am on Mifavor 5 and I want a theme which is just Black and White for the notification drawer. Been browsing the theme store, still couldn't find a theme that I like.?

Icons with Google Launcher and theme applied

Android 6.0.1
Google Launcher
Material Theme from Samsung store applied
Some icons (gallery, phone, messages) appear as touch wiz icons and not as applied theme
I think themed icons from Sammy themes only work with touchwiz launcher. I use this excellent little app to change icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger It changes the Icons on your screen by creating a shortcut but doesn't change it in the app drawer though.

thanks will have a look...
dunno, with Lollipop behaviour was erratic: recently for sure the icons were the themed ones at the beginning they were the samsung ones, but I am not sure what had changed to cause the switch from samsung to themed icons

Change stock icons?

How do you change the stock icons? Can you get them from m the play store or do they have to be from the LG theme app?

Just use a launcher like Nova or Apex. Then apply whatever icons you want.
Actually came in here to answer my own question just in case someone was wondering. You can't change them unless you use the Home/app drawer option. Long press the icon will give you the little purple paint brush.
Well, after trying that, it seems no matter what I do, I can't rid of the black background the system places on the icons.
Also, try the themes in the smart world. A lot of themes have different icons

You can get rid of the black backgrounds. From a cnet article (​Four settings to change on the LG G6): To switch back to normal icons, head to Settings and open the Display tab. Then select Home Screen, followed by Icon Shape and then tap Original.

Lockscreen icons

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

Dark theme
Hi guys, just updated my ze552kl to Android O, get rid of annoying dots and background apps notification, so far so good. Anyone has any idea to get dark themes especially on quick tiles section? I don't mind spend some bucks for dark theme as long as it gets things done consistently, not just main setting page. Alternatively, I'd like to try Andromeda addon but most of the themes do not recommend quick tiles theme adjustment (just color, not icons) which is kind of pointless. So, it would be appreciated if someone could recommend a spesific dark zenui theme or share any thoughts and experience with Andromeda on ze552kl. Thanks in advance

Well I don't what's wrong but the suggested theme partially change phone, contacts, wallpapers, icons, main setting page only. The quick tiles remain white. I guess I'm out of luck, but there is a wayout please be kind enough to inform.

If you want to change icons only from other theme, it can be achieved via zenui theme and select customize from within the theme you want the icons to be applied (check icons only). Or from installed iconpack from Preference --> Icons/folder. It works fine for me.

you mean the notification shade?
The themes work for me on the notification shade
Check attached image.
This is the Space and Beyond theme. Don't customize it, choose apply all and then change wallpaper or icons as desired. Make sure you are on the latest version for ZenUi, Themes and all asus apps.

Magisk 15.3 works for me.
Is there a way to change the lock screen clock? It's absolutely hideous and very poorly designed
@newcdn
I was looking into the same thing, can't find an option. Maybe xposed module, haven't found anything yet.

Yeah, I wonder why is it so hard to have simple thing. It's only partially applied with quick tiles / notification remain stock (white background /blue icons). I didn't do factory reset after Oreo update. Backup /restore process is so tiring.

icons not changing after the android 8.0 update

i updated to android 8.0 today and the first thing i noticed after reboot is that some of my icons have white boxes around them. so i thought i would just change the icons to fix it. that did not work some of the icons did change but the white boxes remain. i then thought it was time for a theme change so i went and found a springy like puppy theme to use. that went badly also. None of the icons on the screen are from the new theme. in the screenie provided the green arrow shows the white box and the one icon that changed. the red arrow is the original themes icon set. the blue icon is the original theme icon with the white box around it. i have tried changing wallpapers and icons and themes but the icons do not change anymore.

Try to apply the theme again
And in settings there is an option to turn off icon backgrounds.

that did not work
only the home screen being affected made me thing.i had forgotten that i had installed the pixel 2 launcher in android 7. i went and turned it off and went back to defaults it all is working. so i uninstalled it and re downloaded it and reinstalled and it is working so it looks like the app did not like the upgrade.
looks like the theme hasn't been updated to make it compatible with Oreo.
it isn't the theme that has the issue as i tried 5-6 themes all having the same issue. it was the pixel launcher did not like being installed in android 7 then upgraded to 8. once i uninstalled the launcher and then reinstalled it all is working as expected.
i thought only i had that problem i use apex launcher on note 8 and after i apply theme or icon pack it is not changing
I just use the "vanilla" Samsung launcher, and I have this issue, even with a setting reset. I really don't want to do a factory.
I am having same issue but I have no launcher installed. Just using it theme. What I found is that the setting under
Settings - - > display - - > frame icons
is on and grayed out. Can't figure out how to ungray it

Are you using an other launcher then the original one ? That could be the problem.

It looks like Oreo has brought new feature called Adaptive Icons.
Apparently until developers would have enabled their stuff to support it you still be watching white area surrounding the legacy icons.
This is why I've switched to Nova, but unfortunately loosing numeric notification badges
