Latest android 5.1.1 update for galaxy s6 has brought new uniform icon shape for all the samsung stock apps. It is nice but the problem is that other apps downloaded from the goole play store won't have the same icon shape and have its own icon shape that does not fit into the stock apps icons. If there is anyway to make all the apps (stock apps and 3rd party apps) to have the new icon shape present in the note 5 or latest 5.1.1, kindly post it here. I think that many users prefer having uniform icon shape.
With or without rooting. Thank you!

I agree...For now, the easy way is to install another launcher ( Nova prime or another ) with an icone pack ( many choice on Playstore )...

Yeah it's what I'm doing right now, downloading icon packs. I installed WizIconer. It needs root. It can apply theme pack installed without having to install a 3rd party launcher, just the stock TW launcher.

You can try a custom Rom like WanamLite or another who accept Xposed framework and then install a module ( I mean Unicon ) and it will be working. Look at this thread

More easy...Download "Icon Changer Free" from Playstore, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=fr , download an icon pack and you can apply the one you want on your home screen.
No root, free app, just a little time because you need to change the icons one by one...enjoy...
can't you apply a theme ? I use the material theme

Could you provide me a flashable zip for this? The Magisk Manager automatic download+install feature doesn't work for me.
EDIT: I no longer support this since i have moved on to a Pixel 2 xl. I have removed this file from my google drive. Mods please close this thread.
I have created a magisk module to enable the pixel mods on the nexus 6p running stock 7.1.1 NMF26F (the latest official update).
This Module:
enables the google assistant
adds the pixel launcher
adds the pixel wallpapers (not the live wallpapers)
adds the pixel round launcher icons
adds the pixel ringtones
enables the blue pixel them
enables the nav bar tuner ( under settings -> systemui tuner)
enables night light mode (under settings -> display)
enables the pixel navbar solid icons and home button animation
I have also included a not flashable zip for the boot animation (with black background). Extract the zip and open the readme.
My internet connection is too slow and the connection times out before I can finish uploading the module to xda. I have uploaded it my google drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Mn8sthts-KSmIxQXY5QUpUWjQ/view?usp=sharing

I've updated to the new Magisk v10.2, this module works with the new magisk version.

The link has been updated. It is currently working for me.
Just a warning, I ported PixelMod to Magisk, testing on my 5X a while back and Magisk Hide unmounting the module caused apps to crash because of it unmounting the framework. It's a bad idea to use this module with Magisk Hide.

I use supersu (thus no magisk hide) rather than phh (beacuse of randomly losing root with phh). I have not run into any issues using this mod with supersu but cant comment on phh/magisk hide right now. I will test tomorrow with phh and magisk hide enabled to see if I have similar issues.
It this for any device???
THIS IS A PIXEL/PIXEL 2 MOD FOR THE NEXUS 6P RUNNING ANDROID OREO 8.0 and 8.1 (OPR5 and OPP5)
I am VERY excited to introduce to you some new Pixel 2 features! This begins the era of Pixel 2 mods. While much work remains to be done on Android Oreo, even with features in the first Pixels, this is an exciting development. Check out those screenshots and make sure to check out the animated clock icon Here's my Pixel Mod/PIXEL 2 MOD built for Android Oreo! :highfive: The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. Currently I am in between 8.0 and 8.1 so please pay close attention to what you are downloading. As 8.1 is going to be the upcoming official release, much of my focus will be on that. Currently the mod for 8.1 (OPP5) has been released and includes new features such as new wallpapers, Google Lens, and Always On Display! For those of you who are still on the official release of 8.0, I will begin updating this mod tomorrow.
Important piece here. Anything flashed is flashed at your own risk. I have not and will not release anything that I have not flashed myself. The only exception to this is the Pixel Mod for the 5X being that I don't own a 5X. However, I only release that after testing the mod on the 6P and recreating, exactly, the mod for the 5X. Regardless, you should always backup before flashing anything. Better safe than sorry. Also, anything posted in these comments is not endorsed/approved by me. This is a community; users are free to post what they want. Often times, users are very supportive and helpful. I appreciate the community involvement 100%. However, I cannot test and allow everything else posted here. Users are free to post at will. Using any form of mod posted in comments is 100% at your risk too, and just like with my mod, users should backup first. That being said, community involvement pushes learning forward. Mods such as this progress as quickly as they do thanks to community involvement and testing. To everyone who has asked questions, tested, and contributed I give you a huge thanks. :good:
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash this mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Tinted Nav Bar? Pixel Nav Bar Animation?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one. Not giving up though.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access.
Not all icons are round?
The problem seems to be in the versions of those apps. Android Oreo (Official Version) seems to have less issues than the Previews had
Substratum?
-This mod may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash this mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock. If you want substratum, go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/tutorial-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3663727.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on. Mine will do a little glitch like I repeatedly tapped it. I think it's just a bug in the Preview version of Pixel Launcher. But that should bring you the Dots if you don't have it.
Weather is not showing!
-Make sure to grant Pixel Launcher location access. Then give it some time. If you don't want to wait, swiping into Google Now and clicking on the weather seems to force refresh the weather widget on your homescreen.
No Option to Change Photo Upload Quality?
Unlimited Photo Storage was supported for a short amount of time before Google patched the mod. The current mod (OPR5_Pixel2_Mod--6p-V2 / 6th Edition) returned the ability to select photo upload quality. However, clearing data for the Photos app may be necessary. Just wipe data from settings for the app
7th Edition / 8th Edition
-TO-DO LIST--ALWAYS ON DISPLAY
-Navigation Bar Animation - Need to be able to compile modded System UI apk. Other than that, this is figured out.
-Substratum Compatibility
-Original Accent Color Mod
-Black Android Oreo Boot Animation (Currently using stock Android Oreo Boot Animation)
-Integration Boot Sound - I don't think Oreo has a boot sound so it would be reincorporating it as an option. Haven't heard it on my Pixel XL at all
-Converting to Aroma Installer for Customized Features
-Bring in Pixel 2 XL Boot Animation
-Nav Bar DPI Mods
-Fix Live Wallpaper Bugs
-Bring Back Old Pixel Live Wallpapers
-Possibly developing app to better integrate Pixel Mods with Android Oreo's native theme support
-The Pixels (Pixel & Pixel XL) themselves actually use (in a sense) a Pixel Mod. As of Android O (beginning in the previews) the Pixels have basically the exact same setup as the 6P and 5X. However, in the vendor partition they have a Pixel Theme (called Pixel.apk). This actually visible in the apps list. If you have a Pixel on Android Oreo. Go to your installed apps and view system apps. Look for Pixel.apk. That is the pixel theme, much like Substratum Themes. Now the Pixels basically use an overlay (using Android Oreo's native theme support). The 6P has the exact same compatibility. However, installation is a bit complicated. If I or someone else could develop an app to place the files+folders in the Vendor folder and run the ADB commands, it would make Pixel Mod's much less complicated and allow complete substratum compatibility.

THIS IS A PIXEL MOD FOR THE NEXUS 6P RUNNING ANDROID OREO (OPR6)
Here's my Pixel Mod built for Android Oreo! :highfive: The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. The main issues are solving issues with Substratum (I've got some ideas for that. I just need to figure out how to implement them), porting the nav bar animation, and fixing the Double Tap to Wake. It's possible that a kernel-mod is necessary to enable the Double Tap features that the Pixel has.
Still included in this version is my custom feature to the Pixel Launcher. The Pixel Launcher in Android Oreo allows you to choose different icon shapes (such as square, rounded square, etc.) For those who want this mod with stock icons, I added the stock icons into that setting. Just look for "Stock"!
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash this mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this. Currently the method is a bit complex.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.
What's Included:
-Oreo Pixel Launcher W/ Wallpapers (Make sure to grant notification access for notification badges and location permission for weather)
-Oreo Pixel Audio
-Stock Pixel XL Oreo Boot Animation (Currently working on a black version)
-Pixel Blue Accent Color
-Night Mode
-Round Icons
-"Stock" Icon Shape Available in Pixel Launcher Settings (See Screenshot)
-Pixel Navigation Buttons (without animation)
What's Missing / Being Worked On:
-Pixel Navigation Bar Animation
-The New "Double Tap To Check Notifications" Feature (Settings are available but seems to be non-functional. Possible kernel-mod needed)

Good job OP. I think Google changed the navigation bar a bit. The middle button doesn't have the thin circle around the middle dot anymore

Are you running stock Android Oreo? If so, do you have any other mods installed? TWRP may not stay due to not being rooted. But if you're rooted it should stay. The steps I took (and I'm in stock Android Oreo with a clean install, wiped data) are flash Android Oreo, flash TWRP, flashed latest SuperSU BETA, flashed my mod. No errors.
Also, what version of SuperSU did you flash?
To fix your message that you get, flash Android Oreo again. If you're using the flash-all.bat, edit it in Notepad or Notepad++ and remove the "-w" that'll save your data. If you backed up your system.img, reflash TWRP, and then restore that

The round circle is actually part of the animation that is missing. The Pixel still has it. Once I figure out how to get the port of that working we'll have it too

I agree 100% :laugh:
yes my device running Android Oreo 8.0.0 official version not DP, i don't have any mod installed before i just have a pixel launcher apk and i uninstalled it before staring installing your mod.
supersu that i have : SR3-SuperSU-v2.82-SR3-20170813133244
Awsome!! Thanks dude!
the problem was with supersu i installed it before and check by "root checker" and i got green sign, and after a while you post this thread and i tried to install the mod but i didn't succeed because supersu is no longer works although is installed, so the solution is reinstall the supersu and everything works fine,
i have two questions :
1- how to do what you wrote here : "Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access."
2- why sometimes i have to reinstall twrp recovery everytime when i want to use it, i don't find the twrp, i find only the recovery which comes with system image !

1) Go to Settings. Then go to "Apps & notifications". Tap "Advanced". Go to "Special app access". Go to "Notification access". Enable notification access for Pixel Launcher.
1.5) To grant access to location services. Go to Settings. Then go to "Apps & notifications". Go to "App info". Tap three dot menu. Tap "Show system". Find "Pixel Launcher". Tap "Permissions". Grant Permissions.
2)When you flash TWRP, are you typing "fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img". If you're using "boot" use "fastboot flash recovery" instead. If you are flashing, from my experience, TWRP does not stick if root isn't installed. Try again after you reflashed SuperSU. Is TWRP still gone?
Can I flash this mod over the mod from dp4? Since we will never get the navbar animation ?
I'm on 8.0 official
Good job and thanks btw!
Thanks so much for this. But is it possible to get back the original Oreo theme color?

Oh my god this is amazing. thank you so much for doing this in your freetime
And good luck trying to get the Pixel animation in! That'd just be icing on the cake!!

That should be fine. Since the DP4 mod works, it should be basically like updating apps. Backup your system.img first, just to be safe
When using Lawnchair v2 or Nova launcher the recent apps shows 1 second an empty screen before switching to the last used app when using the swipe gestures.
It looks like it's recognizing the launcher as an app and puts it away before showing the normal recent apps screen.
I can't get it fixed... Need help.
