Can I change One UI Icons system wide? (root) - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
so yeah, question is in the title. I really like One UI, but I am not a huge fan of its icons. So I installed Nova Launcher and a nice icon pack.
Problem is that in multitasking view for example the apps still have their original icon. Also when opening the handy sidebar, the original Icons are displayed. And since I want everything to be consistent that kind of kills it for me. And before you suggest it: I hate the icons in the galaxy store.
My S10+ is rooted, so do you guys know of any way to change the One UI Icons system wide to whatever I want? Like with root explorer or something?
Help would be much appreciated!

I would like to do the same...
On my Huawei P10 with EMUI there was a theme creator app where you could add whole icon packs. I really miss this on One UI

ADWLauncher help

Hiya guys & girls!
The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.
I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.
So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, makes me sad if you spent most of last night, trying to find a theme that still includes the old style...
Fix in 5 seconds:
"If you want the old icon design, download this to your phone and select it as icon when creating your custom shortcut."

[Q] How to force EMUI not to add icon background?

Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

Jeeezus man u moaning in every section of this phone.. ar you sure you did the right thing buying this phone?
Or you don't know what themes is? Where you can customize ? Even icons..gosh man .. complaining about some "icons are too rounded"
What on earth complain is this..
Sorry that I asked a questions in q/a thread, it seems valid to me, maybe answers will help someone...

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.

Use emui ROM with different launcher like nova.....
Maybe an app like "Emui Theme Editor" can help you out with this. I changed mine status bar, ported custom icons that I bought on Play Store... You can port different things from different themes and/or make background the color you choose etc.

Change NavBar Buttons style without root..??

So I know that some progress has been made with Sungstratum (samsung subtratum) in regards to the centering of the clock and a few other things like that, but I haven't read much on changing the NavBar icons without being rooted.. Just curious if this can be done w/o root...? I just came from an LG V20 and there was a whole slough of NavBar icons in substratum, but when I searched this morning I didn't see any..
Thanks in advance!

I guess that would depend on what you are looking for.
If you haven't already, download substratum and give https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792 a try. It doesn't require root and it does in fact change the button icons, choices between the Pixel, Alt Pixel, AOSP and Parapaper icons. If you want to go back to stock, just uninstall the overlayers. I recommend the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/apk-reverting-to-black-navbar-t3679747 if you prefer a dark style of the Nav bar.
If you are looking for something more custom, perhaps someone else has other ideas!

Check the note 8 overlayers thread, there is an AOSP navbar there in post 1
You can use Apkeditor to replace the aosp icons with your own from then on to create your own

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated!
I suppose I'll drop that $2 on the samsung substratum integration addon, just wasn't sure if that was needed for everything and I read many individuals who had purchased it were unable to utilize the features.. I did see Venom offered some free ones, so I'll give those a go first and proceed from there until I find what I'm after.. I just like things that are different than stock..

This is the app I used with my V20 and it had a plethora of diff NavBar options to change the three little icons down bottom..

Note 9 one ui icon frame missing...

Hello...
I have recently updated my device to android pie which gave me one ui from samsung also... i dont like the rounded frames of icons and prefer icons as developers provide.... anyhow i cant find a way to disable icon frames on my phone... i have tried all the menus in settings and searched everywhere... before one ui you can find the setting in display setting of your device but i cant find it anywhere now...
Is it related to android pie not supporting such thing or have samsung removed the feature ?
Please let me know

You can't remove icon frames in One UI. You can always download an icon set in the Samsung theme store.
