I just recently flashed to 20h on my H918. I also run Nova Launcher. I am having some trouble with the icon sizing options. I typically run with the icons rather large (140-150%). What appears to be happening is that the LG option for Display Size (found in Settings | Display | Display Size) is interfering with Nova trying to resize the icons. The preview in Nova Settings shows the icons as huge but the actual icon sizes don't come anywhere close to the preview size.
I have tried selecting and deselecting each of the options in Nova Settings | Look & Feel | Icon Style with no good results. I've also tried third-party icons packs to see if that made a difference. My wife's phone is still running 10t and with the same version of Nova, does not see the issue.
Any suggestions?
I have the same issue on AO's 8.0 Rom. I just accepted that it's the case and live with it (bumping up the size in Nova to the max to compensate some).
Thanks for the reply. Misery does love company but I'm hopeful that someone has a solution or work around of some sort.
Here are my Nova settings showing the preview of the icons at 140% and a screenshot of what the app drawer actually looks like.
Have you figured out any solutions yet? I'm still interested in a fix as well.
Nope...just living with it as-is.

Thanks, I realize that....I just liked the icon pack in your screen shot and wondered which it was.

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.

Hey Everyone,
Followed the instructions from here (https://www.xda-developers.com/add-custom-buttons-to-nav-bar-on-samsung-galaxy-s8-galaxy-s8/) to install Custom Navigation Bar on my AT&T S8.
Had no issues until I tried to add in custom pixel icons to replace the standard system ones using this guide (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-change-your-nav-bar-icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/)
I downloaded the icons for a 1440p display and got them to show up, replacing the standard icons but every time I touched one of the navbar icons I got a system UI crash. Anyone know if this is an issue with using incorrectly sized icons or if it's just an issue with icon replacement in the navbar on the S8 right now?
I hope that was just a minor issue as i also would like to have the Pixel NavBar on my S8. The S8 navbar could not be seen on some good wallpapers and i really like to have the Pixel look in this phone. Someone uploaded the S8 NavBar, maybe you could copy its format.

Any update on this? Are you able to make it work?
I haven't had any luck yet but I'm not an expert, I can follow ADB instructions easily but don't know enough to troubleshoot myself unfortunately. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time before someone figures it out.
Not working on Touchwiz (S8 is partially supported) think that gives it away in the thread of the app

Good catch -- I just noticed that. Figured Touchwiz was supported since the app was recently updated with S8 support in the app notes. Bummer.

Hello all- I just got my G6 ( Asia dual sim model) and love it but am pissed to find out that when using Nova pro and other launchers the navigation bar does not go transparent even when the transparent settings are ticked.
All other mobiles do it but this one does not.
The option for "color" in my home keys settings is greyed out also.
Any one have any clues to help me use this full screen to its beautiful potential ?
Cheers LL

That's really odd, because I'm using Nova Pro and transparent NAV bar works just fine. Have you got a theme loaded that might be causing it to not work?
[Edit: looks like my screen capture doesn't even show the NAV bar. I assure you that mine is transparent.]

Wow. Thats strange, Im gonna have to try and change the theme perhaps or maybe ill delete and reinstall Nova.
Thanks though sinister.. Now i know there is hope ?

Sinister.... One question though, what version G6 are you using and are you rooted ? I though me not being rooted may be another cause.

Nope, fully stock, unrooted Canadian version on H87310d.
I'd recommend also looking at your dock settings to make sure your dock background isn't drawing over the NAV bar. Although it looks really nice and consistent, disabling it should help you troubleshoot better
Good luck!

No issue here either. Nova is transparent for me. Also, there isn't root for the G6 yet. Attached a screenshot

You have to go into app scaling and select 18:9 for Nova Launcher. Then you will have a transparent nav bar.

AHA- Got it. It seems that all I needed to do was update my version of Nova. Not sure why it didnt work on my old version but its all good now, time to drool over this beautiful screen.
Thanks to all you guys for your help :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

Hello World!
I'm using the stock OP6 launcher, and it's fantastic. But I have a quick question. Is there any way to modify the launcher to shrink the space between the dock and the navbar ? I'm rooted.
I attached a picture to be more conclusive.
Thank you for your time.
Not that I know of but would be nice
Changing the home screen folder display would be great too. You can change icon packs all day but are stuck with a grey circle folder.

Get Nova launcher and solve all your launcher issues.
How did you get that many apps in your dock? I'm stuck with 5 on stock and can't add any more

You need root. I found a post on the forums on how to edit the navbar. I'll reply if I'll found it.
+1 from me on this one.
I have Nova Prime, but I like the app closing animations of the OnePlus launcher - particularly if you use Navigation Gestures instead of nav buttons.

Use OnePlus gestures, then navbar disappears and dock lowers

Doesn't fix the issue. The guestures, while good, are the portal between you and what your interacting with on the glass and need to be perfect, which the OnePlus one's aren't. The y miss animations, are buggy and then the keyboard is lower. I'm using buttons because while guestures are better they just need to be 100 per cent polished otherwise it ruins interacting with the phone.

I've been using OnePlus gestures for several weeks. Took a couple days to get used to it since I'm used to the buttons but I can say I have never once had them mess up. I still occasionally just tap the bottom right corner to try and go back though. Many years of buttons makes it a strange transition, but imo they are perfect.

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!
