Yes it can be replaced with a higher-res version. There's numerous threads over in the 'themes & apps' section with icon sets and instructions on how to get them on your phone. Many of the aftermarket icon sets do include much nicer versions of the tomtom program launch icon.
Thanks very much I'll go for a hunt

Changing Dialer color?

Can someone plz explain how i change the dialer color? Their is no actual option within the theme store to download dialer yet under personalisation in settings i have the option to select different dialer colors but only the default dialer is displayed? Regardless of how many themes i download...... How do i get various colors to present themselves as options under system settings/personalisation ??
Not sure about the option in settings (I've seen it there as well and have been puzzled), but you can make your own theme at https://themes.htc.com
The 'MAKER PRO' link lets you customise a lot of stuff including the dialer. You'll need an account, and once you've saved your theme, it will be available for you to download in the themes app under 'My Designs'.

But then ill be creating a whole new theme when iam happy with the theme i have. I just want to change the dialer. Iam not even sure if creating a whole new theme would work because i have downloaded other teams and expected that the dialer belong to those teams would be available under 'dialer color' but nope! I do not understand why the option to change dialer color is given when its starting to feel/seem it cannot be changed! Nobody commenting either suggests either nobody has a clue or nobody has even tried to change the dialer color ha

Circular app icons question

Hi,
I received notification for update to 7.1.2 ota.
I have seen some videos shown that 7.1.2 has circular app icons.
I am thinking to move or not to the update because I don't like at all the circular icons.
(I still have phone and messages apps not updated because of the circular buttons)
I prefer my device just like it is now.
Do you know if there is any setting to have the update but the UI to remain as it is?
Any other solution except to use another launcher?
Only the Pixel phones have circular icons, no need to worry.

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't updated my phone/messages/contacts apps from playstore and I wonder if applying the update will change these apps to the newest versions where the icons are circular.
Phone and messages icons that I don't want to change can be seen in the attached photo.

What do you mean?
I mean caller app(phone), messages app, contacts app.
If you see the screenshot I have attached previously I am using the old ones.
In playstore there are updates (for me) which change icons about these specific apps.
Youtube is full of videos which show the new icons on 5X (no launcher).
Check in attached screenshots how the updated icons are but I haven't still updated.
(Also in update description it says <<new icons>>)

Yeah those are circles on all versions of Android, I don't know why you're so resistant to change of any kind, but you do you. The new dialer and message apps are much better than they were when they had the old icons.
But no, the update doesn't have updated versions of the apps.

it is possible to switch icon layout as you want
but a rooted device need with custom recovery
i can switch those icons root needed to do so
due to signature change and unsign apk
also launcher icons persist to change icon layout due to own icons
but they will also can change with custom ones without
changing the launcher custom recovery need
also check icon pack if you need so it is possible or not

Except the fact that I prefer the old icons (aesthetically), the previous time I updated these apps it made my contacts, calendar, pictures of contacts etc a mess...

Nova launcher does not require root and I'm sure there are a lot more if that is what you are needing. While I am rooted I do not believe I have to be for this setup. I downloaded an additional app called min icons for the icons.

Android Oreo 8.0 - Icons background

If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?
Also i look a way to turn to old icons
you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....
but not change all sistem icon...
The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.
"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.
HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel
install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah
So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70
@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...
Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.

Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs
@6th_Hokage ??
I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.
I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx
