[Q] Customizing Status Bar Icons

I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.

There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.

Flat Style Bar, check it out.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.

Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.

CM Theme Engine

How come when I add different themes they don't stay after a reboot? I'll add a whole theme...then just add a status bar from another theme and after a reboot it defaults to my first theme applied. I've tried different combos of adding themes and no go. Does it not work this way? Layers theme engine seems way better to me so far.

Don't use the whole theme. Use everything except the status bar. Then use the status bar from the other theme. You are trying to use two status bar themes at the same time. That's why it's not working.

I totally don't want to look like an asshole, but there are several threads including this one to give your 6P a Pixel look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/flashable-zip-night-light-round-icons-t3486794
I mean, ofcourse if you want to do that all by yourself, there are several ways including this one http://androidforums.com/threads/gu...mpile-and-recompile-apks-with-apktool.520917/
Edit: animated nav bar won't work for now. The process seems to be complicated to port it over. Give the real developers some time, buy them beer.. or ofcourse try it yourself

Here you go.
It includes codes for:
1) Number of QS Columns
2) Navbar Tuner
3) Night Light
4) Navbar Height
5) Dynamic Navbar Colors
There are a few I'm still searching for if anyone can post them here that would be great.
Looking for:
1) Blue UI Accent Colors
2) Colorless Battery Saver (no orange)
3) Center Clock/Left Clock/Date (for status bar)
4) Bright Light Toggle (in system ui tuner)
5) Double Tap 2 Wake (In display settings)

Lockscreen icons

Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...

Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess

Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry

Dark theme
Hi guys, just updated my ze552kl to Android O, get rid of annoying dots and background apps notification, so far so good. Anyone has any idea to get dark themes especially on quick tiles section? I don't mind spend some bucks for dark theme as long as it gets things done consistently, not just main setting page. Alternatively, I'd like to try Andromeda addon but most of the themes do not recommend quick tiles theme adjustment (just color, not icons) which is kind of pointless. So, it would be appreciated if someone could recommend a spesific dark zenui theme or share any thoughts and experience with Andromeda on ze552kl. Thanks in advance

Well I don't what's wrong but the suggested theme partially change phone, contacts, wallpapers, icons, main setting page only. The quick tiles remain white. I guess I'm out of luck, but there is a wayout please be kind enough to inform.

If you want to change icons only from other theme, it can be achieved via zenui theme and select customize from within the theme you want the icons to be applied (check icons only). Or from installed iconpack from Preference --> Icons/folder. It works fine for me.

you mean the notification shade?
The themes work for me on the notification shade
Check attached image.
This is the Space and Beyond theme. Don't customize it, choose apply all and then change wallpaper or icons as desired. Make sure you are on the latest version for ZenUi, Themes and all asus apps.

Magisk 15.3 works for me.

Is there a way to change the lock screen clock? It's absolutely hideous and very poorly designed

@newcdn
I was looking into the same thing, can't find an option. Maybe xposed module, haven't found anything yet.

Yeah, I wonder why is it so hard to have simple thing. It's only partially applied with quick tiles / notification remain stock (white background /blue icons). I didn't do factory reset after Oreo update. Backup /restore process is so tiring.
