Icon Troubles

Hey guys. I'm having a issue with my icons not changing. No matter the ROM (Now it's Temaseks CM 13) or be it layers or CM Theme, they won't change. Well a few Google ones do. Any idea on why or has anyone else had the issue and found out why or how to fix? Thanks.

If there is any other info I need to provide I forgot let me know. Wondering if encryption has anything to do with this issue maybe?

had same issue using unicon, fix was to clear data in the google app or whatever launcher's data you use then reboot. might work for you, worth a shot

It just changes icons.....all the other features don't work well with the latest Google search app.......may as well use Nova with swipe up to Google gesture for the same thing you would've had with XGELS and Google launcher.

Yes that's the best thing we have until the xgels development gets a bit better.

Xposed?

So I'm thinking about getting a S8/S8+ but Xposed plays a important role for me. Is Xposed available if not can we expect it? And how long would we have to wait for it?

I'm waiting for Xposed as well. Had it from the beginning with S7.
However, I'm not waiting for it to be available on the S8 - got the phone regardless.
Will "root" once Xposed is available, otherwise I'm happy with no root for the time being.
Don't waste time waiting. Get the phone now and enjoy it while waiting for Xposed

Its not issue of s8. Its nougat. Xposed not ready for nougat.

I'm sure the S8 is great but honestly can't imagine using a device without Xposed! I really need to have it. I guess I'll stick with my Note 7 till it's ready for nougat. I mean no harm in waiting since it's going to get cheaper anyways.

What is it that requires Xposed that you can't live without?
For me, "Flat Style Bar Indicators" is about thing only thing that I truly miss!

App Settings
ChromePie

YouTube AdAway
especially without App Settings I couldn't live.

All of that can be done with mods. Xposed isn't necessary if they are things you never change. Flashing/installing mods is also much better on battery life as they don't require xposed running in the background

How? for example changing dpi per app and forcing to be immersive/fullscreen? Or blocking ads in the yt app? or enabling chrome pie controls?

No. It's the im currently working on root for the s8, and don't have time, nor care to search a bunch of different mods for people too lazy to do it themselves

I've yet to find a solution for most of these, but "tasker" and "autotools" combined can give you global emersive mode or per app emersive mode.
(I've got my web browser running emersive and I've got bixby button mapped to global emersive toggle)
Check out "adhell" to block "some" ads and join the beta program for a non rooted Samsung "substratum"
LMT gives you global pie controls.
The rest is a no go as far as I know.

The title of this thread reminds me of YouTube. Okay have a nice day. ?

Thank you for the great comment! But this proves that nothing comes close to those Xposed modules.

I'm scared to theme anything in substratum without being able to fully backup via TWRP with the encryption issue. Did you use substratum root mode? Or non root method?

Root mode. Long as u select the proper OS in the theme you should be good.
I used valerie and swift black. U can use them already since i already tried it on my side

The makers of Swift black now have their own theme engine. I'm using it and it's pretty nice.
It's called Swift installer

I used that for awhile on my OP 3. It was a solid app and worked great but I didn't like how they forced you to theme certain apps.

Im not sure about the default messenger but the reply button shows up for hangouts. I have to use hangouts for messaging since I ported my main number to Google Voice.

Custom accents on main them do change the color

Has anyone changed the "device name" in order to enable ArCore or RCS?

It seems, from what I've read online, that we *could* change the device name in the build.prop to Pixel 3 or something to enable ArCore and/or RCS.
Has anyone done that?
Have you, then, successfully used ArCore and/or RCS?
Is it worth doing?
Thanks ahead of time!

Well, i tried the magisk zip for arcore on my f800l. They would get stuck at the loading screen and would move from there.

Hmm, that's a shame. I was thinking about trying that mod.

Does switching the phone's "fingerprint" to Pixel 2 mess anything up?
What have you successfully been able to use the arcore to do?
Thanks!
