Try installing a 3rd party launcher like Lawnchair 2 or Nova Launcher. Nova in particular has settings for just about everything, even how icons look and if they can be adaptive or not. You can even change all of the icons' shapes.

I think you mean the navigation bar? Any theme will let you change the navigation bar. And there are quite a few custom navigation bar apps on xda labs.
If you don't like substratum, you can try Swift installer as well

In /system/priv-app you can delete the "quickstep" launcher, and replace it with the stock Launcher3 from Oreo. This will give you the ability to change the icon shapes, and give you back the older recents menu too.
Just make a folder in /system/priv-app named Launcher3 and set permissions on the folder to, 0755 or rwxr-xr-x. Then put the APK in the attachments into that folder, and set permissions for the app to, 0644 or rw-r--r--. Then delete the quickstep launcher and reboot.
Edit: This also works on GSIs too.

Well, that's the stock launcher, so it isn't a custom launcher. And you can change the icons to whatever shape you want by long pressing the home screen.

See, I converted to GPE due to I love the way stock android looks over sense, but I came back to sense due to me liking the camera, h/k and blinkfeed. Does anyone know how to change all the status bar icons to AOSP icons and change the sense soft keys to AOSP's? Also the lock screen as well? I know it is asking a lot but I would appreciate it a ton. Thank you

Install InsertCoin and you can change the icon to AOSP in InsertCoin Kontrol and also change the lockscreen to stock. As for the navigation bar, there might be a theme in the InsertCoin market.

I want to get my status bar enabled but i don't know how to work that module in xposed. I have enabled xposed module and downloaded Xposed statusBar Sense. I downloaded the zip and applied it but nothing changed. I am running Viper Rom, could that have anything to do with it?

1. Download the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip icon pack and place XSBM folder on the root of your internal sd card.
2. Launch the Xposed StatusBar Mods module and select "Icon Settings"
3. Check the boxes beside Framework, 3rd-Party Apps, Battery, Etc.., all the way down.
4. Set the "Icon Scaling" to 70px
5. Select "Select Iconpack to Import" and then select the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip file you put in the XSBM folder.
6. Back out until you get the option to Apply Changes
Note: There was an issue on XSBM v2.3.2. I'm currently using v2.3.1

Yes. If you have a different launcher running, viper theme won't change the icons. Only the stock launchers icons will change. ?
Ok, so i have to remove nova launcher to move to stock launcher. If i do that, i loose cube effect for my dock? Can i get it later or it will be definitly loose ?

Yes, you'll lose it.
Or, just use icon themes from play store and change Nova's icons.

Hi,
I received notification for update to 7.1.2 ota.
I have seen some videos shown that 7.1.2 has circular app icons.
I am thinking to move or not to the update because I don't like at all the circular icons.
(I still have phone and messages apps not updated because of the circular buttons)
I prefer my device just like it is now.
Do you know if there is any setting to have the update but the UI to remain as it is?
Any other solution except to use another launcher?
Only the Pixel phones have circular icons, no need to worry.

I haven't updated my phone/messages/contacts apps from playstore and I wonder if applying the update will change these apps to the newest versions where the icons are circular.
Phone and messages icons that I don't want to change can be seen in the attached photo.

What do you mean?
I mean caller app(phone), messages app, contacts app.
If you see the screenshot I have attached previously I am using the old ones.
In playstore there are updates (for me) which change icons about these specific apps.
Youtube is full of videos which show the new icons on 5X (no launcher).
Check in attached screenshots how the updated icons are but I haven't still updated.
(Also in update description it says <<new icons>>)

Yeah those are circles on all versions of Android, I don't know why you're so resistant to change of any kind, but you do you. The new dialer and message apps are much better than they were when they had the old icons.
But no, the update doesn't have updated versions of the apps.

it is possible to switch icon layout as you want
but a rooted device need with custom recovery
i can switch those icons root needed to do so
due to signature change and unsign apk
also launcher icons persist to change icon layout due to own icons
but they will also can change with custom ones without
changing the launcher custom recovery need
also check icon pack if you need so it is possible or not

Nova launcher does not require root and I'm sure there are a lot more if that is what you are needing. While I am rooted I do not believe I have to be for this setup. I downloaded an additional app called min icons for the icons.

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?

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

Some apps like Amazon for example don't have an adaptive icon. Some launchers will try and make an adaptable icon out of a standard icon if the adaptable version isn't available.
you can change it with the app adapticons

You can yes however this will only work in the launchers, (not system wide) unless you get an icon pack from the Samsung store. Soo, in recent apps, for example, the icon from adapticons won't work... Unless your rooted and use lawnchair launcher with quickswitch, in which case the icon will also be applied in recent apps.
