Hello everyone. I emailed Nova Launcher about this but they said they could not help me with it, thought someone here would know. I have been using the Nova Launcher and have changed my icons with an icon pack. On the sliding Edge screen, how can I make the app shortcuts look like the icons from the icon pack? Not a deal breaker but it would be cool if I could change that.

there is noway to do that
Did you ever find an answer?
I came across a post from somewhere that had a workaround for this. I havent tried it, and I can't find the link anymore. so, at your own risk and all...
Apparently, if you change the icons and save as touchwiz, then restart, and change launcher back to whichever you were using and apply the icon pack you want to use.
If you try it please post the result.
Create a new samsung theme and add wanted icon pack into the theme.

Hello Mods!
I am looking for 5 icon support in dock on STOCK LAUNCHER with everything same like 3x4 App drawer icons.
I just wanna know how do I edit some file to get one more icon in the dock. Thats it nothing else changed.
I tried some tweaked Touchwiz30 Launchers but they all have messed up the Drawer and Have aligned the apps alphabetically. I dont want that.
Please guide me.
With Respect.

Hi there, to change the amount of dock icons on the bottom, go to the app that is Nova Settings, from there select the Dock sub-menu. From there you will see an option of Dock Icons, and you may choose as many as you want, from 1 to 7.
Hope this helps!
I'm also using NL, I like being able to lock the homescreens so my younger nieces don't mess things up. I do miss the TouchWiz calendar widgets tho.
I have Nova installed but when I set the icons to system icons it won't use them.
I don't have any icon sets installed.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.
If you don't have any other icons installed, and it's not using the system icons, what is it using?
Are the Samsung icons perhaps part of the Touchwiz launcher?

Try Apex launcher!
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
[SOLVED: The name of the drawer icon is com.huawei.android.launcher]
WARNING: I DON'T WANT TO SWITCH TO OTHER LAUNCHERS BECAUSE I LOVE HUAWEI HOME, IT JUST NEEDS THE RIGHT THEME.
It's three months that I'm using this new P10 Lite, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the app drawer icon.
I had success changing other icons with a custom theme made with EMUI Theme Editor (and used it on EMUI 5).
I tried the XDA Exclusive 1.2 theme for EMUI 5 and I saw that the icon changes to a more flat one when theme is applied.
The only problem is that I have my own theme and I want to use a different icon pack.
Does anyone know what file in the .hwt of the XDA Exclusive theme modifies that?
I'm sorry for any error, I'm not an English native speaker.
nova or use the themes

If I'm not mistaken, you will find the app drawer icon in the Huawei launcher folder (com.huawei.android.launcher).

Hi, thanks for replying.
Ok now I'm sure that it is com.huawei.android.launcher.
I solved it some days ago but I still couldn't figure the name of the icon.
Thanks again and goodbye
