Oreo icon frames - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

My note 8 just upgraded to Oreo and now all my Google apps have icon frames and they won't go away is there a way to change this? I have Nova launcher too.

i hope samsung update the software cause getting crazy about those ugly borders around the icons

Nope its an android thing implimentation and not Samsungs fault, its called Adaptive Icons.. soon all apps will implement this, were on minsdk version v26 now thats why. So...

Is there a work around

The theme I'm using from the Samsung store does change the Google Apps icons.

Axon Home Screen Thread

Share home screen here. Not much customization available natively but I'm hoping that changes once more users get their devices. Here is the stock look.
Decided to use smart launcher to customize my home screen. Here's the current set up. Just in a violet mood this week I suppose.
Stock wallpaper

1. Touch and hold an empty place on the home screen.
2. In the window that appears at the bottom, touch Themes.
3. Select a theme you like

Ooh, I like the background. What widget is that?
I'm still rocking smart launcher. Went a direction that better used the nice screen on this phone, as opposed to my purple theme previously.

Has anyone been able to find any other themes besides the three that come with this phone? You would think there would be more by now, no?

As long as there's no store from ZTE, I doubt there'll be any theme.

Hello,
has anyone extracted the icon pack from axon theme, I'm locking for the black/gold icons to re-use it with other launchers.

Share your homescreens

Hey people, thought it might be a good idea if we share our homescreens. I change my homescreen almost every 3-4 weeks. At the moment it looks like this:
I did almost everything with nova launcher. But I have an important question. I hided my status bar with nova launcher too. But if I open apps the status bar is visible again. Is there any possibility to hide the status bar in all applications and make it visible only when swifing from top to bottom? Maybe with a xposed module?

New Pixel Laucher (Any Device)

I downloaded it from "Apk Mirror"!
Can't say I'm in love with it - it definitely will appeal to those who want simplicity.
Tried it. Can't switch off the Google bar or put the older Google bar up there. I think the new TouchWiz is fine.

Give this a try, it works on my snapdragon. Install the apk and reboot, if you don't like it go to menu>settings>apps>uninstall and reboot.

Ah. I expected the color to be also transparent (#00000000) so that content was visible underneath.

Transparent nav bar means it's not visible, the buttons are in the usual place and you can still tap them.

Do you mean in Nova>nova settings>look and feel>transparent notification bar>on ?
Because in my case, it does nothing about the nav bar, it remains semi transparent

Mine is transparent on the home-screen, using the stock touchwiz launcher- stock phone too.
I am using a Samsung theme though?
It's called Material_Black if that helps.

I'm using Material black theme and Nova, transparent works in most app fine, some it goes white for some reason. Why does it have that stupid platform under the buttons on the home screen? I hate that. See the pics someone posted on pg 1, it shows that stupid little platform. Any way to make that go away?

You can just download this app from the Play Store HERE and create your own dark theme. I posted an example of the one I made HERE where I themed notifications, keyboard, etc. You can check the OP of that thread too for more information about the app.
you can download substratum from play store

Screw it. Rather just use the Samsung themes since there is an all black one.

Yes indeed. I reboot my device after applying any theme just to be on the safe side and wipe cache.

Yes Andromeda is required and costs. The one I suggested above does not (unless you want to theme some very small, particular, things) and allows you to customize everything yourself easily, including most of your apps. Plus, with Substratum, on Oreo, you have to run ADB commands on your computer to get it to work. With the Theme Galaxy app you just make your theme, install it, then apply it like a normal theme in Samsung themes. Also, the regular Samsung themes in the theme store do not usually theme notifications and many other areas of the system ui like the theme apps do.

Who said root? I'm not rooted. You don't need root because it creates themes to use in the Samsung themer. Do what you like though.

eh I'm fine with the samsung themes right now. I just wanted a black theme to save more battery.
I'm using swift installer. Worth of buying. The best so far. You can choose the color of your backgrounds and accent yourself. Modify black notification panel, etc. Try it. You'll love it.

I actually tried my own dark theme and love it.. Except most times a pop up to say delete a message would have all the options black as well.. And I have to guess where it is...I can't for the life of me figure out which setting it is. LoL
no problems with samsung themes here.
