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.

Thanks but I know how to get to the custom packs. What I mean is after I select the icon back I want to individually change an icon to a different one and can't on this version and though I could beforw

Drag icon to edit and you can do so. I'm able to do so just fine.

Hello,
I have searched, read, searched more, read more, I can only guess my feeble attempts in searching is incorrect.
Two questions:
Can I use multiple icon packs simultaneously?
I currently use Nova launcher and have an icon pack I like, but, I would like to add additional ones, but, not to overwrite existing ones?
Can you install the png files manually?
I have not found a really good guide for this.
Any help you be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure I understand your first question about using multiple packs simultaneously. Do you mean just have multiple packs installed with the option to apply different ones at will? If so, just install Xposed Framework and Icon Themer Module, install your icon packs as you normally would, and they will all be available to apply via Icon Themer and can go between them at will.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
The first question, I wish to use more than one icon pack at the same time, without each one clobbering the other.
I got the Xposed Icon Themer apk, as I already have the Xposed Framework install, and other Xposed modules.

If you use ADW Launcher, almost all of the icon packs for Apex, Nova, etc are compabitable with it.
Once you have more than one installed, when you double click an icon, click Edit on the little window that pops up, click on the picture of the icon, it will show you the selection of icon packs, click on the one you want to use for that specific icon, and then you can select any of the icons in the icon pack for that specific icon.
Not sure if that's what you meant by wanting to use multiple icon packs - it's what I do when I use ADW and a single icon pack doesn't cover all the icons. I just download a very similar icon pack and apply the main one to the whole phone and apply the other icons from the other icon packs individually to the icons that weren't covered by the original icon pack.

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.
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

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.
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!

Hello,
I wanted to ask how to change icons on home screen of apps that dont get changed by official samsung store themes without using another launcher. Id need to save the icons first, and then replace them by edited versions. Kind of creating my own icon set. Is this even possible? Do I have to root my device this for?
Thanks in advance for every help.

If you want to replace the default icons for each individual app you can't as the icons image file is stored in the .apk file and replacing them is not worth it......if you want to create an icon pack you will need a 3rd party launcher for using it or you can create a theme that works on Samsung store.....at least that's my understanding.....
