Bug in OP launcher on OP6T - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

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?

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

The packs DO support dynamic icons. They work with Nova, but not with OP Launcher

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)?

Adding LG Calendar Widget to Alternative Launcher Now Possible

After flashing my G3 to Android 5 I found I could add the LG calendar widget to a Nova Launcher home screen. This wasn't possible before v5. The LG Calendar has a really nice month view which actually shows readable events - unlike the Google Calendar which just shows a marker to indicate there is an event. Nice. Just wish I could change the colour of the title bar . .

I know the LG agenda widget works with Nova(I tested it about a week ago) but can you add the monthly and weekly widgets if so is their any special method you used because I can't get it to work. Technically most stock widgets don't work on third party launchers Lg, Touchwiz etc but I read some where (can't find the link) that lollipop might be supporting third party widgets.

How to remove google seach bar from home screen?

It is Annoying...
I don't believe you can. Have to use a different launcher.
The easiest way is to use a different launcher as was mentioned. I once went on a mission to remove it from the native launcher and it was way more trouble than just living with it, if you keep the native launcher. Now, I use that search bar all the time .
But if you want to remove it, here's what you need to do:
1) Unlock the bootloader.
2) Root
3) Use a root app, to uninstall or disable the "Google" app.
Once you do this, you will notice other issues, it really screws things up, when you kill the Google app on a Google device.
I'd recommend you use a different launcher. Or learn to love the Google Search Bar.

Nova prime. Easy. Cheap. Way better configuration options with third party apps like "screen off and lock" which gives you tap-tap shut off screen functionality! Many more reasons also. Go with free version first to see if you like it. Then pay for the perks and to support the developer.
ADW will hide the Google bar.. ')
Nova sounds pretty nice, I'll have to take a look at it.
I have been using ADW launcher for years now and it was one of the first things I installed on my new MotoX (pure). Like others I wasn't to happy with the Google bar on top of each page so after some searching found "under Screen" settings that I could disable or change the style of the "Actionbar".
Then under "Gestures" I set as to hide upper & lower bars with single swipes and also found that I could recover the Google bar using "2 Finger Swipe" and hide again with same Gesture.
So as of now ADW has accomplished all the task that I wanted done, and seems to be performing quite well.
I have read and see on their site that it has been some time since ADW has had an update, but as mentioned it is still performing quite well. "fingers crossed" I only hope it cooperates ok with the upcoming Marshmallow upgrade that hopefully will be released soon.
If not, I will certainly be giving Nova a more serious look.
Many thanks to all the Devs and other contributors for the wealth of invaluable information that is made available to all.
Unfortunately I'm still a new guy, which at my age is flattering. lol
But I have yet to earn the privilege to post images, so please feel free to PM for links.
Again, Many thanks to all..

Well after grabbing screen shots for the above post and uploading to PhotoBucket, etc.. I knew I could get them posted some how. More that one way to skin a cat. ')
Any how I created an album in my profile and posted the 2 screen shots of my MotoX which as you can tell I am so proud of. lol
So for any one interested, please see my profile and the only album I have at the moment.

How To Enable Round Icons like the Google Pixel.

Any idea how to enable round icons on Galaxy S8 like tbe ones on the Pixel? I do not want to use custom launcher. I have installed Pixel Launcher and Pixel launcher icons but still does not give me the round icons for many apps like Youtube, Play Store, Play Music, etc. I hope someone could help me out.
Use nova launcher and a pixel icon pack. Works fine for me
There is no way to have them round.
That being said, samsung did include a frame option in an attempt to make the icons unified as look.
You can find that option in settings - display - icon frames.

I don't believe that there is no way. I have seen before that it's like a one line of code that triggers the use of round icons of the app as long as the app itself supported it. I just can't seem to find that thread now.

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
