Hello All- I imagine you have all seen that while using the default Huawei launcher on the P Smart the Messages and Chrome icons never change no matter what theme is applied.

[Q] Launcher advice

Hello,
I've been using Nova Launcher for well over a year, but one thing missing for me is being able to control the fonts within the launcher more. There is no option to change the font size, which I find makes the fonts smaller than the system fonts and giving a not very fluid layout throughout the rom.
Can anyone recommend a similar launcher which has the option to change the font size and type?
It's a little frustrating when installing a launcher it also changes the font (often reducing the size) on the homescreen, while the system font in settings, dialer and contacts remain the same.
Anyone know where I'm coming from on this?
Thanks.

Nova Launcher Icon Pack-How do I change icon look on S8 Edge slide?

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.

[Solved] How to change the drawer icon - Huawei Home

[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

How to change app icons without launchers

Hi,
so i just got my mate 10 pro and want to change the icons but not with a launcher because i kinda like the emui one.
I know the design app but it doesnt got what i want - it only changes the color of the icon not the icon in generall. If i just oversaw this feature in the app please tell me.
What annoys me is that Emui puts a white boarder/background on the google app and a green one on WhatApp. For example the Play Store is not just the colorfull triangle but it is a small triangle with white background.
Befor i owned the OP2 with cyanogenmod 14.1, Android 7.1.1 and Nova with icon pack set to "System" (guess its stock Android icons) and these dont have this ugly white background.
TL;DR
is there any way to change the icons to a pack from PlayStore or stock android without installing a launcher
Thanks
yes you can. use emui theme editor from playstore. you can change icons from icon packs
