Icons not changed after applying theme from there store - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

What the title says. I have nova launcher installed and none of the icons change after I apply a theme. In nova I selected "system" for the icon theme but that didn't help. The new theme icons appear only in the touchwiz launcher.
Anyone knows how I can have the new theme icons appear in nova?

I don't think you can with Nova for some reason, any time I use a theme from galaxy theme park or Samsung theme store it only changes the edge panel icons and notification shade. I usually find an icon pack for Nova that goes good with theme and just go from there.
Btw some great free themes here

It doesn't work like that...
Samsung themes won't change the icons when using Nova Launcher - only stock Samsung Launcher.
In order to change your icons with Nova, you have to go into Google Play Store and download/purchase Nova Launcher compatible icons.

if it's for the home screen(s), you can use Icon Changer Free. That should still work with Nova. But as far as the app drawer, I dont really know what to tell you. You're probably stuck with Nova-specific themes

I am aware that this is an S7 forum, however, that is happening to me as well. I also have Nova Launcher but used the theme app within the Note 8 to just change the icons and everything went smooth, all icons have changed except for 1 icon. When I try to edit the icon to change it to system since it is essentially a system icon, it doesn't change at all and I am unable to just manually change the icon to what it should be because it is part of the system and not a separate icon pack. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still the same thing. Any suggestions?
Sorry if my post shouldn't be here but when I googled about the situation, this forum came up. Please feel free to move it where it should be if necessary.
Update: I tried it again, but what I actually did was in the app drawer, I pulled the app search down, searched for the app, went to edit shortcut, clicked the icon and the icon shows up again, selected it and the system app automatically changed to the original system app.

There is an app by xperiacle called Galaxy icon themer which allows you to apply icon packed on stock launcher. The pro version would let you have a "per app" control and set even ping file from gallery definitely worth to buy it. Not sure if you can find that icon pack but you can extract png files from Go launcher and apply for every app using this app.

Some questions regarding BlissPop ROM

Hello everyone, i recently installed BlissPop ROM on my D-802.
I was wondering:
1) Can i remove the "Get now cards" ?
2) Can i use smaller icons like the others on bottom tray ?
Image URL: s21.postimg.org/anycthrp3/Screenshot_2015_10_29_11_44_34.png
Futhermore, were could i find stock apps like Dialer and Contacts ? Most of them listed on "G2 THEMES AND APPS" have broken links.
Hi,
1. I'm assuming that's a widget, if so, you can just long-press it and throw it to the "Remove" / "Delete" option that pops up.
2. If you're using Nova launcher, witch I guess you're using, you can go to Nova settings--> Desktop--> Icon layout and from there you can adjust the size of the icons in the desktop.
Edit: Oh and about the stock apps, here's a link to some stock lollipop apps
http://www.idroidspace.com/download-android-5-lollipop-stock-apps/
Nearly all the stock lollipop apps are there, however if you want the messenger app then just search for it at the play store, Google already published it there.
But if you meant stock LG apps, then I don't believe there is a way to use stock LG apps in an Aosp ROM such as Cyanogenmod/blisspop/AICP etc...
Have fun!

Thank for your reply!
1) This is not a widget. That's why i am asking if there any way to remove it.
2) I am using the launcher which come with BlissPop ROM. Should i use Nova instead ?
I was searching for stock LG Contacts and Dialer apps because i prefer them than Google's.
I prefer LG apps over the stock as well, but sadly, I did not manage to make them work in the BlissPop ROM.
And I recommend you to use a different launcher, as he said, Nova would suffice. But I personally preffer Apex Launcher, it just fits my style a bit more. Any of these two should be able to handle your situation anyway.

Yes, use Nova or Apex or whatever launcher you want, I prefer Nova. I've used so many launcher in the past but nothing could beat Nova IMO.
Even though I'm recommending Nova, witch will, by using it, remove that ugly "Get now cards" thingy, I'm gonna have to ask you to tell me what happens when you long press that thing? Does it say anything? Does it let you view "app info" or let you know what app that is?
And for the stock apps, I searched and tried some but none worked (as expected). That's why some people choose to stay with stock systems because of these apps. Personally I've gotten over that ;D

Is there any way to install LG stock widgets like flashlight and RAM cleaner ?

You can set up task manager in your status bar, it should be in the blisspop settings, under status bar OR under the quick settings menu.
It will add a buttom for the task manager to your quick settings, see for yourself

A screenshot or something ? I can not find this option :/
Sure, Settings - Bliss interface - Notification drawer - Task manager.
When you turn that on, an icon will appear in your quicksettings (when you slide down notification bar completely, it will be next to the settings shortcut and battery shortcut).

HELP: Hide Navbar on S8 Touchwiz doesn't work after installing Nova Launcher

So I stupidly installed Nova Launcher just to try it out. Discovered the inability to hide the navbar on my homescreen problem (seriously teslacoil? not cool).
Spent ages searching for a way to get back to where I was.
Installed Nova Laucher Beta 5.4 beta 3 which allows it to be hidden whilst using nova laucher but still isn't hidden if I go back to touchwiz! I can see the hide button inside apps and it's working (navbar disappears, just swipe up yo see it) everywhere but the homescreen.
VERY frustrating. Anyone know of a fix for this?
I just want touchwiz back the way it was with the navbar hidden on the homescreen
EDIT: Just to be clear - Navbar was hidden on the homescreen using Touchwiz before I installed Nova Launcher. Isn't now.
Latest beta Nova launcher supports hiding the navbar.
Install it then go to settings > look & feel > notification bar. You will see it there.
Can't help you with touchwiz as I've literally never used it

Launcher frustration!

Just got my PH-1 and I usually use Nova, but no matter what grid combo I select I have this gab between the last row of icons and the dock and I cannot add any icons there??? its about 12mm wide, I even tried evie launcher, same thing, it wont let me add icons above the dock. any ideas/solution, hate this blank space between app icons and dock on Homescreen.

I'm running Nova and I don't have that issue.
You might need to tweak the settings but I came from a LG G6 and my settings just worked.
hi, in settings what have you got your display settings as? default with default font? are you in immersive with nav bar dropping away after a few seconds or is it static? thanks
Fixed: some conflict (I guess) between settings in Nova/Evia and immersive and resized Navbar. so I just went back to stock settings and restored a nova backup and all is well.

Sideloaded icons missing on 4k Max

Has anyone else noticed that the icons for any side-loaded apps on the new 4k max are display as a generic dark-colored icon and not the app's proper icon?
True, but not for all application. Some apps has icons, but display a simple icons. Like e.g. the droid robot, or other simple icons. But some apps icons OK, like AFRd.
This is a problem with FireOS7 not looking for icons in the standard folder that most nonFireOS apps use.
This is an explanation and way to fix. But you will have to redo this everytime you update the app. A bit of a hassle. You can use a costum launcher that hides the problem.
How to Fix Missing or Broken Icons for Sideloaded Apps on Amazon Fire TV
There appears to be a bug on select Amazon Fire TV devices that prevents the icon of some sideloaded apps to display correctly on the Home screen and Apps screen. Instead of the app icon appearing, a gray icon with a slash through it appears.

Does anyone know if using a different launcher, like Wolf launcher, will have all the proper icons displayed w/o having to modify each APK?

Yes Wolf Launcher (ATV Launcher), leanback, etc show the icons of sideloaded apps properly.
The custom launchers were created with Android in mind, and look for the icons in the standard folders.
The broken icons is just a quirk of how Amazon decided to build the FireLauncher for FireOS7.
Make sure to check the news about the newest FireOS update disabling custom launcher use. You'll need to disable updates if you want to use them.
