is there a way to get custom icons without having to get rid of the pixel launcher as i actually like its ui setup over some of the custom ones like nova. my only pull to nova is that it is more theme-able then pixel launcher. would it take a modified apk of pixel launcher to get this to work?

Substratum might work, but I'm just getting into it myself so I'm not entirely sure about that.

Yah I'm not sure either the last theme engine I used before this was cm theme and that was on a LG g3 lol I like substratum so far just not really sure what the limitations are for it

Based on my limited time with it, it seems like the best way to get custom icons would be to find a theme that overlays the pixel launcher app and allows you to specify which icon set you want for that overlay, but I'm not sure if something like that exists. Definitely make sure you have TWRP working on your device before you start playing with it though. Most of the supposedly oreo-compatible themes I've used have resulted in an unbootable phone, so I've used the substratum recovery zip that it automatically makes pretty regularly.
Have not tried it yet but this looks promising.

This is exactly what I was looking for and it works just tried it!!!!! Thanks for this I'd heard of this app but I didn't realize this is what it was for
If you have magisk you can find some iconpacks also.

Are there any TW roms that have an app themer like CM13? Or is there an app that works like this for TW?
I really liked that feature in CM13 and never noticed it any where for TW.
Thanks.
depends on how much you need colored
Xposed/Wanam is mainly the goto to get different colors in pulldown and more
and far as native change like stock feel you would need to look at the Note 5 Port because they actually have a theme store something similar to CM theme situation

Thanks, i know xposed is a big way to do all kinds of stuff to your phone. But i haven't spent much time with it. I'm gonna have to start tinkering with it. I even have it stored on my sd card, just haven't made the time. :good:
Anyone know of a true black/dark theme for the pixel Launcher. Not talking about a theme for the whole phone, asking specifically about the swipe up all apps page, Google bar and app folders on the home screen. Even on phones that support substratum like the 6p I can't seem to find a single theme that makes the Pixel Launcher have an all black back ground with white text. I have no idea why Google is so scared of the dark.. just got the OnePlus 3T... Supports black background everywhere by default. Just turn it on... Anyways, rant here if you feel the frustration.

How do you get the black Google search button?
That's part of the theme. You don't have to use the whole theme. Just the overlays for Google app and pixel launcher.

Amazing! That must have been a recent update. I already have the Black Stock theme on my phone.. is that on a pixel or another device with the pixel launcher?
Edit: just applied to my pixel XL... Amazing.. it works

Some of it works. You can install the whole theme expect the framework stuff.
Biohazard works good for system ui
The substratum app in the play store says it doesn't work with the pixels yet. Is that what you're using or something else?

It works just don't theme framework.
This theme fully supports everything except framework and it looks amazing.

Oh shoot. Just saw that this is a root app. ?
How do you apply a theme on pixel XL or what app do I need? I am rooted and bootloader unlocked with TWRP. Thanks in advance!
Does this also theme the Google page when you swipe to the right? First page with content from Google?
This theme looks and works great.

Hi all,
Is there any free substratum theme for Black/Dark Pixel launcher?
Since the relevant thread has recently been deleted, could people please share their theming set-up with substratum?
Would not only be interesting to know which themes you guys use but also which parts thereof (not) to activate given that bootloops seem to be only one false click away.
Thanks!
Swift Black saves pixels and looks awesome on this device. You'll need root to use substratum on Nougat but assuming you knew that already.

No, wasn't aware of this, thanks! I suppose it's advised to keep the oms section off given that it's not supported on oos? Is there any way to theme notifications black as well?

Never had reliable consistency with that in the past so I didn't both trying that with this phone. Everything themes black perfectly. I leave the SystemUI alone and let the notifications come in default white.
From my experiences with Substratum on this phone, leave SystemUI and Android system alone. All 3rd party apps can be themed. So for Swift Black what you might wanna do is theme the apps and then change the system theme internally in settings to dark and then you basically got the full theme

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing now. Cheers.
I can't be the only one that thinks the new transparent status bar/tile screen is hideous! In some cases it resembles screen burn, which is not at all attractive, and I see no practicality of it. I was hoping some of my substratum themes would mask it or at least make it less transparent, but I haven't found anything.
Anyone found a way to disable it/revert to the older visual theme?

But it remains transparent, and if im in an app, app drawer, or really anything, you can still see right through it.

Probably the easiest way would be to use a custom launcher, something like Ruthless or Nova can be configured to look like a Pixel. You can use custom icon packs and widgets to complete the look.
If you want to go deeper then something like Hex Installer would work as well. I prefer the AOSP status icons over the Samsung ones personally.
