Strange new icon backgrounds? - Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers

After updating to Android 7.0 Nougat on my G5 (LG LS992) all my app icons changed. See attached picture for examples. The LG apps that come installed by default got simple, unique, all white backgrounds(the phone, contacts, and messenger icons at the bottom). User installed apps get one of seven new, all white backgrounds. I place one of each background type on example picture. Some of the backgrounds seem to be in the shape of a letter. There is no discernable pattern to what apps get what backgrounds and I can't find any information about these changes anywhere, no one else seems to be talking about it. Is anyone else seeing this?

I had that same problem and it was driving me nuts because it actually showed those icon labels behind the custom icon pack I was using. I was able to change it by changing the group of icons I wanted to use. I think I did it in Nova Launcher's settings. So if you're using a 3rd party home screen, check to see if you can change it there to Marshmallow's icons, or the system default or something.

themeing gurus: random background?

I have a few backgrounds that I'd like to rotate with the same homescreen. Is there a way (scripting maybe?) to rotate the background? Even if it's once per day or something. tried looking for something that'd do this or a way to do it and so far have come up empty.
I found a program called ThemeChanger that will rotate a background, except I've noticed is that although the default background (as configured in the theme xml file) works flawlessly, if I go through Start>Settings>Background and select another background image that I created (using the same exact detentions) the backgound is positioned directly above the bottom mru plugin. Also, the background to the mru is white, which looks horrible. I've tried setting the bgcolor to black, but that didn't seem to work. Here's an example:
Homepage using "Default" in Start>Settings>Background, displaying the images configured in the xml file:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Homepage using alternate background image as set in Start>Settings>Background. Notice how the highlighted areas no longer match up with the information.. the image is positioned from the bottom, above the mru.
Yes, I have a thing for guys in ties.
Thanks!
bump. anyone?
WM6/Rogers fixed the issue. Yay.

A couple of my Home Screens

All of these use the Fizz plugin set to 7 day small. There are 3 layouts; Carbon, Blue simple, and Blue full. Carbon features a gray theme and both blue themes are of course blue. The blue "simple" deletes the wifi and the carrier and makes the date larger (a request from my friend with a Moto-Q). Other than that they are just slight variations in color and feature. The text to the right of the MRU displays the program you are highlighting, like the default tmobile. Since I dont use the calendar much, it has only one line of text available. If you have an all-day, it will show in the area below the calendar.

I have FIZZ traveler 2 plugin.. is this the one your homescreens use or the FIZZ WEATHER??
If not.. do you have a link to one that uses THE TRAVELER ONE??
thx
I have just the regualr old Fizz weather, so I have not created any that would work with the other plugins yet. I will see if I can whip something up, but there isnt a lot of room down there!

[Q] [N2E] A lot of text is missing in the non-B&N UI

Hi Nook developers,
I rooted my Nook STR using Touchnooter and almost everything works fine (finally Sudoku on my Nook! ) but one thing bothers me.
In some Apps and System settings etc. the text of some things is just missing.
Examples include the market (I can search it fine with Search Market) where I can't see the application details, the ADW.Launcher settings (I can see the icons but not the text) and the calendar.
I thought there is some color the nook wrongly translates to white, but as it turns out...

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...DDMS sees it as white too.
Is this some known glitch I somehow haven't read about, or am I the only one experiencing this?
I have some of those, only on menus (but not on the 2nd page menus). Haven't heard of something to improve this... Most menus are try-and-error...
it is very annoying, I have same problem, it would be nice if someone could answer
same problem here, lots of problems with menus in all programs. Any fix would be great!
Maybe a modification of the theme would fix it ...
If someone is able to do it, it could be useful
+1. I don't know that I have it on all the screens you show, but it is on a lot of mine as well. Running TouchNooter 2.1.31 over Nook 1.1.0.
Does anyone know where to go/what tools to use to modify the theme?
I also have a problem with a lot of popup text (e.g., in the XKCD browser, "Hint" function) being invisible. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24486593

[HELP] [MOD] Transparent OVERLAY notification bar?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to mod my i9100 S2, running on cm10.1, by making the notification bar transparent (I have seen methods of this) BUT also overlaying the applications, such that the applications run like they're on full screen mode but the notification icons (no black bar) are overlaying apps. Currently, I am using THIS guide to hide the bar altogether so that I can have a full screen experience with a functioning notification/quick settings but I would rather if I can see the icons etc without the black bar and loss of screen available to apps.
A rough idea of what I want, I can use Photoshop to create a better example if needed:
What stock is like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I am trying to get:
(The yellow/orange is the space taken by an application)
Hope you liked my art and, probably more importantly, understand what I am after.
All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Andriod market
Hi,
We are a Web Hosting company in Iran and we want to run an "Android APP Store".
Do you (does anybody know) know good open source software so we can customize it for our local market?
Or do you know a company that sells these services (or software)?
Unrelated comment is unrelated. Seems like my request is nothing short of new, but can someone give me a hand?

You want your cake and eat it too....all iterations of firmware have their own uniqueness....life nor android (OxygenOS) is perfect.....learn to deal with what you have. It is far better than having nothing.
I understand your point of view but if its possible why i can't use it ? ^^
You might find a Launcher that does what you want to do. Nova does some notification themes and styles but I don't see the option to force the monochrome/white icons

Click to collapse
Hello ! Yes I have already switched to nova launcher to be more free in the choice of settings. However, I couldn't find an option that could control the color of notifications. I put an icon pack that changes the appearance of the icons on the home screen.
