how to replace navbar icons? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

so i just updated to pie and the navbar icons are almost as ugly as the previous samsung icons. how do I replace them? I just want to have the regular android icons, how can this be so hard?

so i guess that's a no

Give a theme from Galaxy Themes a try, some of them have AOSP navbar icons. They do change your app icons and other stuff though.
But then there's always the option to enable gestures in Settings.
I'd go for the latter if I were you.
Back on Oreo I used Swift Installer to apply an AOSP-like look to my phone which was good.
Swift Installer now works with One UI, the AOSP look isn't available though, but who knows, maybe it will be in the near future.

Doesnt Substratum still work on S9 with the Pie update? If so there are Navbar icon apps for Substratum?

There is literally an entire theme store built into your phone to do just this..

no themes in the theme store show the navbar on their preview images.
already downloaded many themes, none of them changed the navbar icons.
and again, I don't wanna change anything, samsung's default ui is already ugly as it is, don't wanna make it even uglier with user made themes, only wanna change the navbar icons to look like what google makes.
if you know of one single theme that changes nothing but the navbar icons, go ahead and tell everyone

If you ONLY want to theme the navbar that is what substratum is for .

Lollipop theme

I think it would be an amazing if anyone with enough talent made a lollipop color and icon pack theme for the S6. The theme selection doesn't seem great right now but at least I would pay for a lollipop one.
nice idea.. +1 for that
on the other side this just wait a bit it's not even out in most parts of the world..
From what I read, it won't be possible. At least not for now. Samsung will release a tool to develop the new but it will only be wallpaper and icons. I don't know if I read correctly, I hope I didn't.
With themes, it would be the perfect way to hide those ugly touchwiz neon colors...
yeah..from all that I see so far ( still waiting for the phone) the neon colors are the only minus ?
Google Launcher.
All Google launcher does is replace the home screen, it doesn't change the neon ugly colors of touchwiz
also google launcher you can not hide the search bar..or? no google launcher is not the thing..at least l launcher is pretty nice but also only symbol changes

I hope the reports I read somewhere were wrong. It said the SDK at least for now wouldn't allow you to theme notification and system colors, only icons and wallpaper. Does that make sense Jeshter ?

That is the SDK you can download now. I pressume that when in April new SDK is released. S6 will be fully supported.
Tbqh I'm not sure why they didn't include a stock Lollipop theme right out of the box. Sure, they'd have TouchWiz as their default for "differentiation" purposes, but adding in a stock Lollipop theme for those that sought it out--how would that not just sell more phones?

[REQUEST] Stock lolipop nav bar

Been looking around and I couldn't find a theme where it changes JUST the nav bar. I generally like sony's stock theme but i really really want the circle back

if you are rooted and you have xposed module enabled,try downloading gravity box and in the navigation bar section, check the androin L navbar easily
The thing is I'm looking for a non-root solution. Iirc if the z3 was rooted you lose whatever camera post processing or whatever it's called. Is that still the case for 5.0?

I know, right?? I wasn't able to find LG navbar icons and only made this using Xperia Theme Creator where it is limited. Haven't tried using Android Studio yet.? Also I want this theme to be as stock as possible so maybe just the navbar keys, system icons, should I be able to find G6 icons, I will change.?

Revert back to oreo icons possible?

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.
