Firstly I have never opened any thread on xda so I don't really know what the rules are.Anyways I found this app that I didn't know about but was looking for for a really long time.
The app is called " Galaxy icon themer " ,it is a free app available on the play store.It requires root but the good thing is you can use it to apply any icon pack you have downloaded to the stock launcher.Hope this helps anyone who wants to change the icons but hates the horrible Samsung theme store icons .
Ps: it is compitable with android 6.0.1 as well

use launcher pro ..you can get it from the market..it automatically gives frames to the icons wen you click it..or MIUI rom gives permanent frames..more like the apple iphone icons!
U could do that with lp? I never found that but please report back how.
I currently use go launcher that, if u use an icon theme like classic or suave (which I highly raccomend), does just that to all the icons that are not supported by the theme directly.
It's actually a really good launcher but my favorite remains lp.
I had this theme running on my phone with Go Launcher. I have since wiped my phone and forgot to backup the theme. I have searched and searched and searched and cannot find this theme. None of the themes that I apply change the notification bar icons like the one that I have attached did. I swore I had I had found the right one, "Android 4" but the notification icons (3G, WiFi, battery) didnt change.
Does anyone know?
BTW, I am on Android 2.3.6.
The statusbar icon is about playing on framework.. Launcher's theme won't change it..
If u are on custom or deodexed rom,maybe you can playing around with the icons..

Hello,
I'm waiting for my new Z3 compact and i was wondering if there's a way to use the Google Now Launcher (I find really usefull the google now tab and features) with icon packs. Of course i don't want to root the device because I don't want to run into dmr keys problems. So...no xposed gel settings
Is there another way-app-trick?
Thank you
Ivan
Yes, you can change the icons that appear in the dock or on your desktop with an app free from playstore called awesome icons.
I use this on my non rooted Huawei Ascend Y330 running stock 4.2.2.
I can't obviously change the app drawer icons, is this what you require?
Use As some icons. You can't change app drawer icons in GNL unless u are rooted
Getting over run by people called Ivan hahaha think he means awesome icons too :-0
OMG...ahahha. Any other Ivan? thank you guys! And is there a way to use icon packs with the stock sony launcher? maybe I will like it..but I don't like the icons a bit old school

Is there a way to stop galaxy themes forcing me to update so it can load my built in wallpapers?
Auto update galaxy themes over wifi or data but there is no option for never.how do we stop galaxy themes updating?I've got package disabler but dont know what to disable to stop galaxy themes uodating
So what packge should I disable to prevent galaxy themes updating?
Not 100% sure what you are asking. Without being rooted installing custom themes not from the store is buggy at best. You are saying wallpapers though & a wallpaper you can install yourself regardless. So I assume you are referring to applying some themes you had installed.
Unless something broke with applying wallpapers. Did you try to find the wallpapers yourself with gallery or file explorer app & apply them that way?

New theme store has menu to hide your installed themes, wallpapers, icons and AODs.
In theme store, go to My Stuff.
Don't enable data or wifi when you want to open theme store so updating isn't mandatory.

I don't think there is any workaround. It is mandatory to update once phone detects data or wifi. Same thing with Galaxy Store.
Just disable data or wifi before you open theme store.

Last year I was able to change the icons on stock touchwiz launcher on my S10 ( which I already sold ) using icon packs from playstore.
I've actually forgotten where the tutorial for that process is and have used google to search but not having any luck. If I'm not mistaken, it was from a xda thread.
If somebody knows or any other way of installing icon packs without using 3rd party launcher, your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
wat?! One UI can change icon without 3rd party launcher
There are icon packs in the Galaxy Store. You enter the Galaxy store, on the bottom menu bar select My Galaxy and there you have all the icon packs. Like hundreds of icon packs.

Yep. Are you a first time samsung user?
Found what I was looking for, but unfortunately it looks like support is only up to Android 9 which the S10 came with.
Update: Still works with Android 10 and as far as I can tell will support the upcoming Android 11 according to the devs. But can't make it work on mine because I'm enrolled with Google's Advance Protection.
Try searching hex installer in the play store. It lets you customize icon shapes and what not and existing themes as well from the Galaxy store - all while using the stock launcher. I'm using hex with the pixelize theme and it's working great! Hope this helps!

It's all you need.
Choose theme (the native high contrast ones work well)>choose Galaxy store icon pack>pick a wallpaper you like.
Use the Galaxy store Goodlock family of apps including One handed Operation plus for even more customization options.
No 3rd party launcher needed... or even desirable. One UI is an excellent launcher.
