Nexus 6p Andorid 8.0 stock Icon problem - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys after 8.0 the icons have changed but very ugly icons . Google didn't put the changing icon options to nexus phones.
Is it possible to change it like nougat icons? I don't want to use launcher :crying:

i agree with you !

The system default icons are very ugly. You can long press the home screen in O using Pixel Launcher to change the look but still very

Then yes you'll have to use launcher and icon pack. I'm trying a couple 'pixel icon packs' to see if they look better.

[Q] navbar and status bar gradient

Has anyone else notices the gradient over the N4 navbar and status bar running lollipop that is not present on the N5 (and the N6 as far as i know)?
Bug or feature?
Any way of making it clear?
(n4, unlocked, unrooted, stock)
am I the only one who is bothered by this?
I never noticed it, but you're right. Must be because the Google Now launcher isn't the stock launcher on the Nexus 4

It's not the launcher that's the issue, it'll be SystemUI.apk or something similar that has the gradient in it...
there's a fix, but don't know where!!!

How to remove Lock Screen Wallpaper!

So, I was looking for a while how to remove the wallpaper on the lockscreen to match the one I have on my homescreen automatically. Some apps that apply wallpaper don't give you the option to select to change the lock screen, and the only way is to go through the touchwiz system wallpaper chooser, and it will prompt. Otherwise, I might have found a solution??
The trick is very simple, head over to the galaxy store and install good lock, then from the good lock settings uninstall it, and it will remove the lock screen wallpaper and it will match your homescreen if you change your wallpaper a lot. I also found if you changed the theme, you'd have to re-do the process over again. Make sure to select your favorite theme first before you do this.
Did anyone find a simpler solution? Please share if you have one!

Interesting... I was trying to figure this out to use with Muzei. I'm wondering why note 7 doesn't have the ability to choose lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper the way older galaxy's did.
Anyway will try this and report back
Um, all you have to do is go into your gallery, choose pic, choose set as wallpaper, and then select lockscreen..

Yeah but that only selects the wallpaper, it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't match. The objective is to match the same screen. I'll try with live wallpapers and repot

Awesome, glad to hear it worked for you. For a while, it was bugging me. Here is a funny thing. As I am using the phone now like that, sometimes after unlocking the phone, I see flashes of what appears to be stockish android before the tw launcher comes, barely noticeable and very interesting.

On a serious note, that is very interesting... A Galaxy device with stock Android UI plus unique Samsung features would be a Android fan's dream.
When I uninstall good lock my lock screen just reverts to the default wallpaper. Am I doing something wrong?
Nice find, OP! Made my day!

What I did was took a picture of the wall with my phone flat up against it in low-light with my screen darkened. Then I edit picture in gallery (darkness down, contrast down). I did that twice then saved it as a perfectly black picture then I set my wallpaper (home screen and lock screen), using TouchWiz.
Thanks for the tip. Now my live wallpaper is also now on my lock screen.

Good find,
Thanks!
Why doesn't this work for me?! I want my magic fluids lock screen!!!!!
Works great, thank you. Nice to have again live wallpaper on lock screen.
Currently "good lock" app is not available on Galaxy store, but it is available here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lease/good-lock-24-0-12-android-apk-download/
Don't try other apps with the same name from Google play because it will not work.
There is also a way to do it. Download and set a live wallpaper as background on both desktop+lockscreen. Then unistall the lwp. There, both desktop+lockscreen should have a blank (black) background. Then when using an app like QuickPic that doesn't give an option to set wallpapers in both desktop+lockscreen, becouse all are blank, setting only desktop wall then lockscreen will also have the same (because it is transparent now)
Maybe some developer could make an app that removes the background wall from both desktop+lockscreen, that way it whould be much easier to do it.

how to change the default icon in an icons pack?

hi guys,
i have a question about an icons pack, when i use it with my launcher, everything work normally but some icons, i don't like them and if i open the icons pack app i find that there are other icons for example icon for "Phone" app there is 8 different designs and settings app has 6 other designs ...ect. but how to change the default one by the other in the icons pack app ?
i hope you understand my question.
With Nova prime hold and drag any app too edit on the top of the screen. Then in that box that pops up just selecting the icon picture will bring you to the icon pack selection. Then from in there the individual icon you want. I'm sure most launchers work in a similar manner. Just look up your launcher on google or youtube and how to change individual icons will get you a tutorial.

I figured that just want to throw it out there just in case you where. Yeah that's not possible with a stock launcher as I mentioned before if you can invest in Nova launcher Prime. You can virtually do everything you've ever wanted to do. It's even easy to replicate pixel launchers if you want. And as mentioned in my previous post change each apps icons to whatev

Bug in OP launcher on OP6T

Noticed an issue in OnePlus launcher. Only original icons that come with the phone (OP6T) show dynamic calendar icons. i.e. Icon shows the actual date.
If we apply custom (3rd party) icons, the calendar icon is generic i.e. same date is displayed on all days. Some show 30, some show 31 etc. I have tried 5-6 different icon packs and issue is present in all. Somebody kindly check please.
Can no one check this?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6010 using Tapatalk
Yup..just confirmed it. Only the 1+ icons work.. I would have never noticed this.
Same here, 6t oos 9.6.
Custom icon pack doesn't updates calendar icon, 1+ stock icon does.
Wonder when OP is going to realise this and post a update which fixes this bug!

Done.
I got the following reply:
It is current design.
If your apply 3rd party icon pack, the icon will be static.
You can edit calendar icon individually to resolve this issue.

Do they seriously expect us to edit the calendar icon every day to reflect the correct date? I get the feeling that they are not going to make any efforts to fix this. We will have to live with it!
Maybe the developer of the third party icon pack should design dynamic icons. This doesn't seem like an OP problem to me

It is a OP problem. The icons are dynamic right now. Try them with Nova or any other launcher. They become static only in OP launcher. Only those icons that are included with the phone are dynamic. It should not be too difficult to fix for OP. But......

Note OnePlus launcher isn't included ad one of the supported launcher by the IC n provider unlike Nova ,aviate ,action launchers respectively, this could be a likely issue, this has to be resolved by the 3rd party launcher Deb, who needs to include OnePlus's launcher support in his strings of codes

How is it a 3rd party problem?
Dynamic calendar icons (from custom icon packs) work on all custom launchers viz. Nova, CPL etc. But the OnePlus launcher displays a generic calendar icon which doesn't change with the day.
If we use included OnePlus icons, only then the OnePlus launcher displays dynamic calendar icons. This has to be fixed by OnePlus themselves.
Didn't OnePlus basically admit it is a design choice in their launcher and by design so how could it be a 3rd party pack fault (other than the fact that one is being applied at all)?
