Icon Backround removed? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

New updates messed up my home screen feng shuay.
Youtube has an ugly white background. Want to remove it but no longer an option in settings where it was...
How do I do this? :/

All Google icons have them and I hate it too. I don't recall this on my S6 but Google prob pushed and update. You can get rid of if by using a different launcher. If anyone knows how to without a new launcher please do advise.

ADW launcher and paperless theme

hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.
Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything
Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.
hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF
This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.
I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)
I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.
Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )
Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?

[Q] Touchwiz stock launcher.

I've searched all over the place and can't seem to find a solid answer.
Is there any way to hide the icon text on the home screen in the stock launcher without using a 3rd party launcher? I've seen some modded TW launchers that change grid size, but nothing regarding the icon labels on the home screen.
I did see that someone here on XDA made an Xposed module that can accomplish this but it didn't work unfortunately. I also checked Wanam Xposed and didn't see an option there either.
Thanks!
I suppose this isn't possible then?

[Q] stock launcher with icon pack

is there any way that i can change the icons on the stock launcher to an icon pack downloaded from the play store?
and i dont mean the manual way like changing one icon per time. im searching for something automatic and without unicon since xposed isnt working.
*AND YES I HAVE ROOT*
I'm also looking forward for that.... I like the stock launcher for it's features, and the design is not bad at all, but those square icons makes me switching back and for between it and Nova...

[Q] Nova resetting custom icons

Hi all!
I'm using paid Nova Launcher, and since a couple of mounths, I'm facing a strange behavior with my custom icons.
I'm changing all the icons in the drawer and the desktop with icons I've made. I change them manually, one by one, as I don't know how to build an iconset.
The point is, everytime an app is updated, its icon is resetted to stock one. This I can understand, even if its a pain...
But the Nova settings icon, the google setting one, and the stock messaging one are resetted randomly, and I can't understand why.
So is it a normal behavior in Nova, and is there a way to avoid icons to be resetted?
Thanks for your help.

Question Bottom Edge Stroke Switch Application

Has anyone managed to get third party apps to work with the mentioned?
I can't seem to use any thirdparty launcher apps to swipe left or right to switch applications and it's honestly bothering me alot.
I've also tried using quickswitch+lawnchair but seems like lawnchair doesn't work for our ROM, keep getting some java permission error.
At this rate I wish a custom rom would be available quick so I can just get off this horrible OS..
Been trying the same since I got mine, it only works with the nubia launcher, i kinda get used to pull the background apps and move through it when I need to switch. Definitely it’s a funny os this one
Same problem...
But I want to switch the launcher only to change the icons to the circles, maybe someone knows how to do that in nubia launcher?

Maybe with pix material you? I'm not sure if it changes the icons shape though, I think lawn chair does that for me...
