Icons changed after Oreo update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I just got my update. How do i remove the while fill-in around all my icons?
Thanks.

Weirdly, i also cannot slide down the notifications/quick settings panel without the navigation bar sliding up as well.

There is an option in settings called icon frame, you should tick Icons only and your problem is resolved

Are you using the stock Samsung launcher?
I've uninstalled Nova (as I had it installed but I wasn't using it), but the option is still greyed out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's bugging me lol.

Weird.. I have the option available to me, but whether I click icons only, or select the other option, doesn't make any difference, it still shows with the ugly white border :S

Google and their insane obsession with the color white continues in Oreo. SMH.

Force the use of legacy icons in any compatible launcher. Nova has it once you enable Labs.

Same problem with me, you found a solution yet bro?

Same here after i updated to oreo the option Icons frames>Icons only it's bugged and isn't working.

Icon frame problem s7 edge oreo
I received oreo today and i am facing the same problem. Doesn't matter whether i choose with frame or without frame, the icons appear with frame. Did anyone's problem resolved or it still exists?

This is one of the reasons I hate Oreo. Mandatory adaptive icons.

[Q] How to change the colour of the notifcation bar from white to black

Hello.
Unfortunately i dont have the rights to post in the development section...
Is there any chance to change the colour from the drop-down notification bar from the ugly white to the standard black ?
Some apps have white letters or signs and are almost impossible to read on the white background.
My phone is rooted etc.

It's right in the settings, first option.. Change the app to English language otherwise..
Come on... there isn't "Look and feel" in ROM settings. What ROM you use ?
Or you described only poweramp settings ?

Seriously you didn't get it without me specifically saying that it was related to Poweramp? :crying:

What could be corrupting my status bar?

http://imgur.com/a/apfRP
I'm getting some weird corruption of the status bar and notification panel.
Everything seems to be running OK but I'm not sure what could be causing this.
I'm rooted on the latest update btw.
Any ideas?
Looks like a theme problem have you installed any themes or anything
That same thing happened in my S6 Edge. I use a photo from my gallery as a home screen wallpaper. I fixed it by entering the wallpaper settings, selecting the same photo and adjusting it to hide that white area at the top of the photo.

Thanks for the response, I think mine is a much bigger problem though.
It's a "glitchy" white, sometimes it's not white and it's also affecting the notification pull down, along with the lock screen and keyboard.

Would anyone be willing to share the SystemUI apk from the latest version?

I had the same problem, what I did was boot in recovery and wipe it clean, backup first of course. It fixed mine. Good luck.

Nova Launcher Display Issue

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for an answer to this question, but I can't find one anywhere, blah, blah, blah.
I am running Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2 over the stock launcher on my N920A with Android 5.1.1. I have a wallpaper with a solid black background. It looks something like the first image below. You might not be able to see it on a monitor, but the problem is that across the bottom, something (I am assuming it's my stock launcher or theme service) is lightening my background. It is happening in front of where the dock would normally be. In order to highlight what the problem is, I took some screenshots and then used paint to color in my background. Since I am a first-time poster, I can't post links, but I can tell you that my screenshots are on i dot imgur dot com with the following file names (sorry for technically posting links...):
My home screen with Default theme: tEvYClN.jpg
My home screen with Default theme and the background colored white: i9wfuK7.jpg
Now here is what happens when I change the system theme to sd-Black
My home screen with sd-Black theme: T7tDb5N.jpg
My home screed with sd-Black theme and the background colored white: vpfYaE7.jpg
Here is one more view of what I see on my screen. iNH7n7t.jpg
So changing the theme adjusts the height of the color distortion at the bottom. and top I want to know how I can get rid of those bars altogether. I am sure that this bar on the bottom changes when I adjust the system theme and I have tried it with other wallpapers with the same result. I have done as much troubleshooting and narrowing down of the problem as I can. Any thoughts? Thank you all for your help!

Hide Home Bar?

Any way to hide the home bar? I don't understand Google's logic. They copied the iPhone's gestures, but in doing so they created a stupid mini bar that runs edge to edge taking up screen real estate for a mini white bar to sit in the center. Why can't it just run on top of apps like the iPhone and fade when not in use?
I'd rather hide the stupid search bar at the bottom. Or figure out how to do it

If you are rooted both of these can be done with this mod.

Use Immersive Mode Manager from Google Play. Doesn't need root and can be activated using ADB.

Totally agree with all of this.
Just have it float always above everything. Simple. Why is that hard Google?!?

The frustrating part is that they kinda do it with some of their apps. Notice how it hovers over Android Messages, but in Chrome, it creates a small black bar. Wtf.

Download "Hide Navigation Bar" from the Play Store, give it the appropriate permissions via ADB and hide the bar. I did it on mine and everything works 100% perfect without the stupid wasted space at the bottom and the ugly navigation pill. Supported the dev with a purchase too to say thanks.

No, sorry. I should have read the thread closer.
Edit: there might be one way. I'll try on my spare phone. The pixel Launcher can be uninstalled. I'll try modding it, signing it, and see if it will install.
Do you have a standalone module or is it in your ADB module? I don't mind the bar but with gboard it takes up a ton of space. So removing it would be super helpful there.

Here is one with just the Google search bar gone.

After Update: How to move clock back to right side of notification bar?

Hi ,
I've installed te latest update (Android 10, One UI 2.0)..., now the clock is on the left side of the notification bar, which is really annoying...
Any easy solutions to move it back to the right? Good Lock is not available in my country (Germany)
Cheers
Use SystemUITuner. personally I have everything disabled on my status bar, and QuickStar isn't up to date anyway. So systemui tuner is the easiest method I'm aware of.

System UI Tuner works perfectly fine. Its the first thing I did since updating to 10 on my S10 and have had 0 issues with it (aside from the battery icon re-appearing after restart, which i just toggle again)
Not working on One UI 2.0.
The system icons blink for a second when changing the clock position setting but the clock does not move.
Ahhh okay I see what you mean now. It seems like that's the one thing that isn't working.. that and the battery icon. Other than that everything can be toggled normally.. hmm wonder why
Anyone else has all the notification bar icons come below the notch when dragging down the notification bar?

Some of the icons can be hidden. Like Wifi and Volume, others like Battery stay and the clock unfortunately does not move. (S10e One UI 2)

How far did your "complaining" get you?
I'm sure developers are aware of Android 10 issues with their apps - some of which are provided free - and will publish updates when they can.

Clock on S10 devices has always been in the top left corner of the screen, even on Android 9...
It hasn't been introduced with One UI 2 nor Android 10 dude
Sure, before these it was on the right side, and before the last Update I could use SystemUI Tuner or GoodLock (one of these) to move it back to the right side. And I think many people were complaining. Just was wondering why nobody is doing it now
Alright, no worries, if there's no solution avaialble yet, I will just wait and see.
btw: Is there any special reason why GoodLock is not available in Germany? I always have to remove my SIM and use a VPN to use it.

Samsung choice maybe, idk really...
As a workaround, try to download it directly from APKmirror here : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ung-good-lock-1-0-00-53-android-apk-download/
This version is from 5th August so it has been made for Pie, maybe you'll have to wait for Samsung to update it and make it Android 10 ready.
This is so ****. It seems there really is no solution to move the clock since the update to 10!

I've got an S9+ and also been dealing with this issue. As small an issue as it is, the clock on the left really bugs me
I just installed Good Lock, which led to QuickStar, which I guess is updated now - clock moved!
Just install "Fine lock" from Play Store, then install QuickStar plugin
Great tip! I have installed the apk and have got the clock on the right side finally! (S10+ One UI 2.0).
I had SystemUI Tuner doing this before in combination with the nav bar color option (black). So using both as of today.
