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.

If you are on stock ROM and want to get rid of the navigation bar then follow the instructions below.
1. Download Pie Control from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
2. Setup Pie Control to how you want it (you can mimic the navigation bar layout)
3. Go to /system/ and open build.prop to edit
4. Add a line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 at the very end
5. Save the file and reboot
Nova does the same but easier.

I thought Nova only did it for the home screen. Even if it does, I think only the Pro version would do it. This solution is free.
I don't even remember Nova launcher having that option.

Nova NON PRO (aka free) version gives you the option to remove the navigation bar on ALL screens.
Look under nova settings > desktop > persistent search bar (choose option).

I got the PRIME version (paid) and selecting persistent search bar to Never doesn't get rid of the navigation bars.

Hmm don't know what to tell you. I have the free Nova launcher and I don't see the google nav bar on ANY of my screens on my Nexus 7 2013.

Wait, search bar or nav bar? It's two totally different things.

You're right. It's nova settings > look and feel > show notification bar. But like you said it only does it if you're on the home screen or in the dock. Once you open anything else like an app or phone settings, the notification bar will appear. I have prime but i'm pretty sure it's still an option if you have the free version if i'm not mistaken.
Anyone know how to apply icons from Nox Icons to the G2 without using a non-stock launcher? I prefer using the stock G2 launcher to keep "knock knock" but don't like the icons. I already tried changing the icons by long pressing the icon I want to change and selecting the Nox icon I want but it keeps saying "Failed to load image".

You can keep knock on/off with 3rd party launchers, you just need to double tap the status bar up top.
Yeah I know, but that's too hard to do one handed (or I'm just too lazy). I was hoping there's a way to find the icons using a file browser or maybe someone has the icons in a zip.

You can also download a program called Turn off screen, using nova, after you set up "turn off screen" go to activities under gestures in Nova, and set double tap as turn off screen. Also, if you have root, in the app section, someone has developed the regular launcher with pretty much all options you can think of.
Have fun.

Hey! Is it possible to apply an icon pack system wide? I'm running stock 7.1.1 NMF260 rooted.
Thanks!

Yes. Actually I never really thought of it in any other way. You can do it through your launcher settings or usually the icon pack itself has a way to apply it (left side, should be there).

I mean, for example if I was in settings and I went into my apps instead of seeing their default icons I would see the icons from my selected icon pack. So no matter where I was seeing the icon it would be the Icon pack's icon. Hope this helps.

In settings>apps specifically? No I dont think itll switch the icons there but it will change them all on your homescreen and in app drawer.
I use Action Launcher 3 and I can apply all from the launcher settings. Or like I said, open the icon pack itself and tap apply.

Yeah, but if it's only in your launcher it isn't system wide.

You need a custom launcher that supports icon packs. Android launcher doesn't provide native support for icon packs. Icons are applied system wide if you are using a custom launcher and make it your default homescreen instead of Android's launcher. However, most icon packs will be missing icons for at least some of your apps. Some icon packs attempt to theme those icons and others just leave the stock icon.

Your launcher is system wide. You need to make the custom launcher your default home instead of Android's launcher. The launcher changes your home screens and your app drawer.

There was a xposed module that allow you to do that, change icons system wide. I didn't tried it lately, but used to work fine.
It's called Unicon, by Faruq Rasid, search for it in the PlayStore.
Edit: You're on N, so no xposed for you, Sorry.
I'm now using the stable Oreo release and can't remember if on 7.1.1 or even the Oreo beta if you were able to change individual app icons with icon pack you downloaded. was this possible because now you can't and the icon pack I use I want to change some of the default selections of icons without switching launchers. Any ideas?
touch and hold icon
drag to edit on top of screen
click on icon choose desired icon

Yes you can. Just long hold the homescreen, click settings, and find icon packs.

Ah brilliant. I don't remember having to do it that way but thank you!
Thank @surajloharia as he suggested it first.
Mildly infuriating me that I've got my icons perfect size & using the LineX icon pack but whenever I go on to the recents page I have the standard icons which are also huge, any ideas?
It was a sore eye for me to see different sizes too so I turned off suggested apps, go to the 3 dots menu then settings from the recent page.

Yeah it sucks, I did turn off suggested apps briefly but I actually find them useful, hopefully a workaround is found or something, thanks for the suggestion though!
