Moonshine icon pack on Pixel launcher?

Does anyone know how to use the moonshine icon pack on Pixel launcher or the Google Now launcher? I've been using Resurrection Remix and I've recently switched back to stock. If anyone knows if I can use custom Icon packs, that'd be really helpful. Thanks!!

Yes, I'm quite aware of the many compatible launchers. I wanted to know how to use it on Pixel or GNL.

I think it's not possible.... At least on stock without root.

Dude, everytime I try to launch this app it says "Unicon needs root access" then it closes itself.
I have root and Xposed installed.What is the problem?

This is a bug from app. To solve, close the app in Recents.

No it doesn't solve it. I have even force closed it.
Which device do you own? Moto G4+? And how have you rooted your phone? SuperSU systemless 2.78?

Unicon need SELinux Permissive. Don't work in Enforcing.

Pixel icons in CM14.1 w/Pixelfy

Hey so, first of all I'm sorry this is probably the most stupid question but i've searched high and low for hours and cant find a way or an answer..
Has anyone been able to get full Pixel icons on CM 14.1 with the Pixel launcher? I've been using daleski's build (great work btw) with Pixelfy but the phone icon and play store etc are still from MM. I know I can use Nova launcher obviously but then its the tradeoff of losing swipe to google now. I've tried every other CM 14/14.1 build rooted and unrooted but not found any way to change icons beside CM theme engine which CM 14 and 14.1 don't have or using Nova etc.
Again, sorry for the stupid question but thanks in advance for any help
I'll help you!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-google-launchers-icon-changer-t3440036/page1
You must to change selinux permission
It's work on my OnePlus one with official cm14.1

Pixel Dark Theme

Is there anyone creating a dark theme for the Pixel? I just can't stand dialer, messenger, and settings menu all white.... So annoying. I know we have unlock and root now and wondering if anyone is creating a work around to enable a true "dark mode" or a theme that themes all the Google apps?

?Do NOT use Substratum Legacy on Pixels or Nexus devices running the 7.1.1 dev previews until further notice.
From the app notes section.

Yeah. All the good stuff usually does.
I think maybe I misunderstood the OP is he asking for something like TRDS in the old Slim days? Or just a way to get as much black as possible?

Was there anything else that you had to do other than root to get substratum working? I'm wondering if maybe it's not working because I'm still on NDE63L and not P as I am rooted and I get a list of compilation errors when I try to apply a theme (swift dark)

Weird maybe I'll try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I'm up in Canada and it doesn't look like we've gotten the P update up here yet though I doubt that's actually the problem
Edit: unfortunately still getting the error ?

I'm getting a warning message saying don't flash any system or framework themes. So what's actually safe to flash on sub?

Everything I have read said doesn't work on Pixel 7.1.1. Proceed at your own risk. That being said I tried Magpie, Spectrum and Divinity with no bootlooping. Legacy theming is similar to 7.0. Kinda janky. Make sure you can fastboot system image and or format user data if anything goes wrong.
Just an update, I pushed the 63P update to my phone and substratum now works! I don't know if anything else was going on and I just needed to wipe or if going from L to P was needed but at least it's working now

If your phone is rooted you can get a bunch of different emojis to install as a script in the Themes, Apps and Mods Section.
