There are no themes. You need to download different launchers and customize it.
Or, you need to get root to install substratum from the Google market.

I was wondering if there is a launcher I can use that has a theme with it so I can make my phone look like a windows phone or iPhone or something of the sort.

i use lanucher 8 pro from the app store. feels just like my lumia 635
Does anybody know if there is a way to apply icon packs from the play Store rather than the ones on the Samsung themes store? There are some amazing ones in play store.
Thanks
Edit : obviously I can install Nova or another launcher but I love touchwiz so rather stay on it.

I'm on my first Samsung phone and run into the icon pack problem as well. TouchWiz goes a little further than most overlays like HTC's Sense, or Asus's ZenUI, so its not as easy, not for me anyways, to just throw another launcher into the mix!
There is a free app on the playstore that allows you to use your preferred icon packs in TouchWiz without any other modifications! Two to be exact. The first app is Zedge. It has been a popular website for a long time to download ringtones, other items and they have an app on the playstore that basically does the same thing, but it also includes icon replacement in stock launchers that do not support custom icon packs. I would not prefer this one due to the fact that you have to choose from the apps built-in icons, not your own installed from the playstore. But as with all others, there may be a few things you prefer about the app besides the icons.
Second, "Awesome Icons" app on playstore. It has an icon option under menu, and it will automatically pull up a list of all your installed apps, and out to the side, all your icon packs, just pick and choose which icons your prefer for each individual app you are going to be using a shortut on a screen!
Only downside is, takes a minute or two. Upside, ability to use icons from icon packs off playstore of your choice! Plus, you can even mix & match individual icons for individual apps you have shortcuts for!!!!
Hope this helps!

As the first poster put it's probably easiest to install a custom launcher from the Play Store.
Nova Launcher guys.

Thanks for the obvious advice guys haha but I don't like 3rd party launchers. Love touchwiz so rather stay on it. But looks like there's no way to get third party icons on touchwiz.

Love touch wiz? Have you tried nova? So much more to customize and you can make it look the same and act pretty much the same. But better!
On that note every new phone or any time I have reset I try touch wiz. But end up trashing it due to its limitations
I haven't minded Touch Wiz so far actually but I'm sure eventually I'll switch back to Nova.
I have tried nova and dozens of others. I prefer touchwiz for many reasons which are not relevant to this topic. Let's not change the topic of this thread to convincing me to switch to nova ??

Good luck In your effort. If you find out let us know.
There is a reason people use a custom launcher. Icon packs are part of it.

There are lots of icon packs in the Samsung store. Not very nice though
@mahdibassam have you tried Awesome Icons? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.momocode.shortcuts&hl=en
I used it back in the day. Not sure if it still works or would work with the new touchwiz
Alright so I'm trying out Nova again. Is there any way to import my folders from the touchwiz app drawer? Already imported home screens but all apps are loose in app drawer.

Obviously I did that, thanks for your snobby comment. I would rather put in a useful comment rather than waste time typing something utterly useless and unhelpful!

To anyone who is reading this thread now, I have switched to nova fully. And I will NEVER use any other launcher ever again now I understand what customization means. Nova you beauty.

Nova sure has a ton of customisability. But touchwiz is a launcher that grows on you as you continue to use it. Sure it might be limited in functionality, but there is a simplicity to it which nova cannot replicate. Plus it's made by Samsung for their devices, so why not keep it?
Anyway to get the pixel icons on our HTC 10's? Looking for a flashable zip or something. All the thems on Google play require a launcher that I'm not willing to use.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. That worked, now just wish I could replace blink feed with Google now.
Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to Android and had a few questions regarding customization.
I'm mostly happy with the Pixel Launcher, but I absolutely hate the white haze at the bottom search pill, it ruins my wallpapers.
I would also like the background of the app drawer (when you swipe up from the bottom to see all the apps) to be dark and translucent, so you can see the wallpaper still.
Can i do this anyway? I don't mind using another launcher if I can get it looking just like the Pixel one with those tweaks.
If it matters, I can't root as I have a Verizon Panda.

This video has 1 hell of a launcher mod in the description, best one I've seen. It has a modded customization feature added to it

Yup, too bad that launcher mod doesn't install. Funny how it's called "rootless" when you need to be rooted to replace your stock Pixel launcher in the system app folder.

Lol it's actually intended for other phones other than the pixel, it'll install on other phones without being rooted. But the pixel has to be rooted in order to use this launcher

Exactly, which makes it irrelevant to this thread since OP is looking for an option that doesn't involve root.

Brilliant retort, I wasn't saying it's a bad mod, it looks great, but, it doesn't help OP.

Fair enough, no harm no foul. I hope Google adds some of those features into the legit Pixel Launcher.
