I'm wanting to see if there is any way to use the icons from Huawei theme files in Nova launcher. An older thread had suggested to set via the "system" section and set them individually, however this does not work currently. When I've been able to find them I've downloaded matching icon packs, however this isn't always available. Thanks for any help
Actually going to answer my own question, for the benefit of anyone who might be wondering the same. The solution is much easier than I thought it was going to be. All I ended up having to do was to apply my EMUI theme of choice, then go to Nova Settings > Look & Feel > Icon Theme > System. This will apply the icons for the current EMUI theme, and must be repeated as such whenever you change themes, but actually fixes the issue of having the icons match the theme, without having to resort to the Huawei launcher.
Hope this helps someone.

So I have Nova Launcher and I've been isntalling icon packs like crazy however I'm realizing that many 'icon packs' just download a zip and don't show up in the Nova Launcher 'icon pack' section. Sure I could unzip them, and then use the browse files functionality instead of the icon pack view in Nova Launcher, but that's a pain and not as streamlined as it would be if the zip were recognized as a true icon pack. So my question is how would one go about 'installing' an icon pack that was just recognized as a zip file by the system. Where does nova launcher store it's icon packs? Any ideas? Hopefully I'v explained this correctly lol.
not sure but....ive tried alot and my favorite is def snack pack check it out in the market. very clean and premium look
As far as I know, only APKs will be seen as icon packs.
Zips, unfortunately have to be customized individually...

Thats exactly how it is. If you want to make an icon pack yourself, you'll need eclipse and some additional android stuff. Then you need to get all the activities for your apps you want to create an icon for. Thats how i am doing this actually.. God, this is pain in the ass.. On MIUI it was just as easy as renaming your icon to the apps package name and done.
Btw, there is a howto in the android themes section.

If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?
Also i look a way to turn to old icons
you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....
but not change all sistem icon...
The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.
"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.
HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel
install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down

So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70
@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...
Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.

Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs
@6th_Hokage ??
I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.
I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx
Wrong topic...go post in general Q&A
Ok sorry
Hi all, Just wondering, I just updated the Razer Phone with the latest update, and in the update notes, it mentions a DARK THEME, but I am not able to find this. Anyone know where 1 can find it? I looked at NOVA Launcher Settings, and in the Phone SETTINGS....
Thanks in Advance
Zi
It refers to the icons, they are now darker. Sadly no dark theme, there is night mode for nova though.
you can change all of the Razer Green icons to the default using nova long press the app icon and go to info i then Edit you can do this with all but the Game-booster so its the only apk that needs a stock looking version IMO.
Recent updated my S9+ to Pie & the icons are awful. I've looked through various options & none are simple icon changes. I've looked into creating a theme & only changing the icons (if I could source them) but Samsung don't allow non-creators to create themes or icon packs.
Is there a way we can install & change the icons back to the oreo ones without root / another launcher? At this point I'm ready to flash back to Oreo if it's not possible.
If anyone has the icons & a means to add them all as an install able Samsung theme you'd be a life saver.
Did you tried samsung themes?there are some pretty icon packs there.

I'm desperately looking for this as well. Did u got it somewhere else?
Try Pixel Icon Pack from the Play Store.
Have a look at the icons from Samsung directly in Galaxy Themes. The 2018 Olympic Games icon pack is very similar to the icons you get on Oreo.
similar but not quite ...
I also want the icon pack from the oreo high_contrast_theme_ii. they "updated" the theme with the awful pie icons. cant find it anyway.
Anyone find a solution yet?

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.
