Hi,
so i just got my mate 10 pro and want to change the icons but not with a launcher because i kinda like the emui one.
I know the design app but it doesnt got what i want - it only changes the color of the icon not the icon in generall. If i just oversaw this feature in the app please tell me.
What annoys me is that Emui puts a white boarder/background on the google app and a green one on WhatApp. For example the Play Store is not just the colorfull triangle but it is a small triangle with white background.
Befor i owned the OP2 with cyanogenmod 14.1, Android 7.1.1 and Nova with icon pack set to "System" (guess its stock Android icons) and these dont have this ugly white background.
TL;DR
is there any way to change the icons to a pack from PlayStore or stock android without installing a launcher
Thanks
yes you can. use emui theme editor from playstore. you can change icons from icon packs

I'm looking for the default app drawer and folder background icons from the Sense 7 launcher. The app drawer button I'm looking for consists of 9 small circles in a square shape, and the folder icon is square in shape with a dark, semi-transparent background. Basically what the M9 launcher uses out-of-the-box. This thread mentions how to pull those icons out of a stock Sense ROM. I'm looking for these to be in PNG format so they are usable in Nova Launcher. Thanks!
Personally i'm never big on the OEM looks on any phone. I always like to have some personalisation on any phone i have.
I try to keep things simple.
Launcher - Nova Launcher prime
Icon pack - Whicons
Wallpaper - not sure where i found it.
But i'm trying to find a nice weather widget that goes with it. I usually use the Yahoo one but theres some issues with the location name not appaearing as it should but as a basic small black text.
Launcher - nova launcher
Icons - pixel icons
Wall - I can't remember
Nova launcher with each icon in similar colours chosen from different packs.

Nova Pixelated
I like the simplicity of the pixel launcher but I want the versatility of the Nova launcheer. So I combine both and this what I get.
Using Arrow launcher, standard Icon pack that comes with it and I use wallpaper changer that changes my wallpaper on every unlock or double tap. Got 100+ images in my folder
Edit: oh yea and a nice PlayStation theme for the navigation buttons and PlayStation sounds

Nothing fancy
The homescreen design built in KLWP was a preset I got from the play store that I just edited for personal use. I didnt create all elements of the KLWP preset. I also merged 2 presets together. Just wish I could hide the navigation bar on Nova Launcher like I had on my Z2 which I used root for.
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Static Kingdom Hearts Wallpaper
Home Screen Wallpaper: KLWP Live Wallpaper
Background: Kingdom Hearts Static Wallpaper
Dynamic Live Weather which moves across the screen
Interactive wallpaper so that icons can be selected to open apps
Tried to make it as clean as possible
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Wallpaper from Lines Icon Pack
Home Screen Wallpaper: Lines 44 from Lines Icon Pack
Icons: Lines Icon Pack
Using Nova Launcher Prime, pretty much a clean look with a Pixel sort of theme (nav bar and accent colour)
Update on homescreen, Blue Xperia loops still clean!
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to disable the rounded icons from nokia.
For example the play store icons (and various others) come with this circle arround the icon instead the normal icon in the form of the logo.
Thanks.
Not likely. You can alter themes mostly in Custom ROMs, which Nokia 5 doesn't have.
You can download custom launcher like nova or lawnchair (stock launcher with more customization), which support custom icon packs.

You can disable them by modifiying framework-res.apk but it requires root.
[SOLVED: The name of the drawer icon is com.huawei.android.launcher]
WARNING: I DON'T WANT TO SWITCH TO OTHER LAUNCHERS BECAUSE I LOVE HUAWEI HOME, IT JUST NEEDS THE RIGHT THEME.
It's three months that I'm using this new P10 Lite, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the app drawer icon.
I had success changing other icons with a custom theme made with EMUI Theme Editor (and used it on EMUI 5).
I tried the XDA Exclusive 1.2 theme for EMUI 5 and I saw that the icon changes to a more flat one when theme is applied.
The only problem is that I have my own theme and I want to use a different icon pack.
Does anyone know what file in the .hwt of the XDA Exclusive theme modifies that?
I'm sorry for any error, I'm not an English native speaker.
nova or use the themes

If I'm not mistaken, you will find the app drawer icon in the Huawei launcher folder (com.huawei.android.launcher).

Hi, thanks for replying.
Ok now I'm sure that it is com.huawei.android.launcher.
I solved it some days ago but I still couldn't figure the name of the icon.
Thanks again and goodbye

It's written on the beginning of the post
What format does the file have?
I wanna do the same thing as you and I found the file you were talkining about but how do I open it, what format does my new icon need to be?
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
