I love the GEL/GNL, and my only complaint has been that it doesn't support theming from icon packs. Well, I found a way and I wanted to share!
1) Download and install the Xposed framework.
2) Download and install Unicon from the Play Store. ($2.00 USD)
3) Reboot after selecting the Xposed module and enabling it.
4) Open Unicon from the app drawer, select an icon pack, and enjoy!
The way this works is that Xposed allows Unicon to change the application icons across the entire system, so it'll even show up in the small app icons in places (such as the settings cog inside of the Settings app, at the top). The only con to this method is that it isn't possible to enable ART along with this tweak, since it relies on Xposed. If anyone knows of a way to do this without Xposed, please let me know! I hoped this helped!
(Attached is a screenshot for proof that it does indeed work on the GEL/GNW, icon pack used is Click UI, $2.00 USD)

I use Unicon with the stock GNL and love it as well. However, there's one more con you didn't mention that people not familiar with the module should know. It is that you can't change individual icons. So if an icon pack has multiple versions/colors of the same icon, you can't choose which one gets applied like you can with a 3rd party launcher. It's only a small drawback in my opinion.

Nice app! But why it is 95MB big? This is the biggest app size i have ever seen.
BTW: Tried to use it but the "smart cover view" doesn't fit. I can see my smart cover picture, but after installing it isn’t visible at the design app.
Very good indeed!! Are we going to have any update? I was wondering if we could change the contacts and calls style. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your hardwork! But I can't install it! Everything seems fine, and when it started to install, the installer just disappeared! Nothing happens!

because all possible graphics are coming with it
btw.:
Tried to use it on a old Samsung N7000. No problem! It is possible to use it on an other device, but you have to create folder "HWThemes" on internal sd to be able to save your work. But than you are of curse not able to test your themes.
And: The app doesn’t work if you are not connected to internet! (necessary for advertising only!)
I've installed the Theme Editor, and I'd like to know where I can find different sets of icons for the navigation panel (Back/Home etc.). Do I need to download a whole set of themes to find nav-panel icons to import?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I've been playing with the theme editor for some time and it works quite fine on my P10. The only thing is that some icons do not resize wel if I make them smaller. E.g. the Gmail and Camera icons' height is too big compared to their width. Any solution would be appreciated.
Installed and played a bit this evening and now I am stuck in a bit of a rainbow mess unable to install or customise a theme from the Huawei theme app.
Plz help
Hi
When i serach this app in play store,cant find it,so i clicked to play store link and it said "this app is not avaible in your country",i download it from internet but when install and open it,it said cant download rescures because you not purchase it from google play store
I am from iran and my phone in huawei p10 lite (was-lx1a)
Plz help me sir
This app is a great time saver.
One thing Idon’t get yet. What is the definiton of a icon pack? Is it a zip file with a different extention?
How do you make / get an icon pack?
I ask this because when I try to change app icons there is a dropdown list to choose an icon pack. But the dropdown list is empty.
Inside a theme file you have a zip file called “icons” with the extention removed.
If the theme file is also considered to be the icon pack I would expect all downloaded themes in the dropdown list.
Hi,
As everyone knows Samsung Theme store has so many good looking themes but u people may hate the icons ....Here is simple way apply any themes with to make Stock icons No root required.... Just need to install free app from play store 100% working.
1. First install the app "Super Back up" attached is the app screenshot
2. Install any theme from theme store Ex:- I installed chalk .ui theme
Go open the app super back up click on apps scroll down and search installed app called " binodray.chalkui.com.appicon" and long press on the pop-up will open with options select uninstall Same way for all apps with ending. .Appicon then restart your device apply working for theme free and paid theme both will work
Attached is the screen shot for steps .
It's my own research hit thanks if you like it....
The theme I'm using doesn't have anything related to icons to uninstall but thanks for the post, I'm sure it'll be handy next time I switch themes
If I apply theme with no stock icons then i go to theme apps, "icons" and tap apply stock icons. That's all and i have new theme with stock icons unless I don't understand something.
I find the new quick tiles (light blue on white background) to be difficult to see. Is there a way to be able to change the color and/or contrast of these icons. I do not want to root the phone. Have looked at xposed, at a few apps from the store. Also a number of different launchers such as Nova, Apex, etc but could not find this functionality in them.
Thx

This is not a launcher feature. There are two ways I know of. The simplest is to get a theme in the Samsung Theme Store (found under system settings) with the colours you want, then just overwrite the background wallpaper and icon pack in your launcher if you don't like them.
I believe you can also use Substratum without root on samsung phones, at least for theming the user interface. Substratum Themes will give you more colour options and won't change your icon pack and background unlike Samung Themes.
Ideally find a Substratum theme labelled Samsung so you know it works, then only tick the android system parts. I have to appologise in advance because I can't post links yet. You'll have to find them in the Play Store yourself.
First, install "Substratum".
Then, you'll have to buy the "Substratum Integration for Samsung (Addon Key)" (if you find it doesn't work, you always have 2 hours to refund it from the play store page)
Lastly, find a compatible theme like "[Substratum] StatusBar Icons (+extras) for Samsung" and activate it in the Substratum app.
Pixel Launcher Mods is a root app for Android 12+ that enables you to add a number of features to the stock Pixel Launcher, without needing Xposed.
Custom icons, including icon packs, adaptive icon packs and Lawnicons
Custom themed icons, add themed icons to apps that don't yet have them officially
Generate themed icons from supported normal icons
Replace the At a Glance or Search Box with a widget of your choice
Hide apps from the app drawer
Resize widgets beyond their original bounds, down to 1x1 or up to the maximum size of your grid
Hide the status bar clock while the Pixel Launcher is visible, for ultimate minimalism
Please read the FAQ before installing or making issues / asking questions
Screenshots
Icon Packs used in screenshots are a mixture of Lawnicons, OnDynamic Icon Pack, Lavien Adaptive Icon Pack, and a number of Pixel-style icon packs available on Google Play. Widgets are Firefox and Another Widget (At a Glance replacement)

How It WorksInterested in how Pixel Launcher Mods works? You can read all about it here
Old versions, which can only be used on older versions of Android than 12, can be found here
More Themed Icons (Android 12)
On Android 12, you can only change apps' themed icons to icons already in the Pixel Launcher. You can add more icons to the launcher using Magisk modules that provide an overlay, such as this one.
Thank you for the app , but it's not working with the rootless Pixel launcher , changing icon per app works but , applying the whole icon pack isn't working , tried also with Bq launcher ( vendor based on old pixel launcher)

From the FAQ:
Q: Can you implement X feature?
A: Probably not. This app works off modifying the already available files - not the app itself. Whilst there are some mods you can make by editing the Shared Preferences (such as enabling/disabling the Google search bar in the app drawer, changing the top row of apps in the drawer and enabling the "bounce" animation), they get reset every time the launcher loads, so are useless. I can't implement icon hiding, grid size changes, overlapping widgets, or any of your other favourite custom launcher features - use a proper custom launcher for that

I tried this icon pack with Rootless Pixel Launcher and it doesn't work. Setting individual icons works fine, though.

Currently you have to do it one by one in the app, or clear the data of both Pixel Launcher and this app (will reset your homescreen layout too). I plan to add a "reset all" option for the next update though

Dang! That sucks.
Additionally, there are a lot of bugs with applying icon packs. Example: I applied an icon pack, but not all of the icons were skinned. Example #2: I tried applying a different icon pack and it just didn't work. So, yeah.
Thanks!

This is probably down to the way the app works. It uses a highly experimental method of running Java code as root, so it's buggy. You may have to apply the icon pack a couple of times for it to work.
In terms of it not applying to all icons, which ones aren't skinned? Are they adaptive icons? If so, you need to either apply them manually or enable the option to apply to adaptive icons in the app's settings. This is disabled by default because 1.) adaptive icons are usually fairly well themed already, unless you're going for a totally different style and 2.) when their icons are changed, you get a glitched overlay when they're long pressed
For Stock-Rooted Only.
I don't have this phone but this worked on my Pixel 7 though these are made from Pixel 7 Pro system files.
The purpose of this installer is to generate a custom module that can be flashed in Magisk App. It will have all the mods that were selected from the installer menu. You need to be stock with root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so. This will only happen once.
I internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors. The colored statusbar icons should.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
This mod uses the SystemUI Patcher Module Template by @Jai_08 By @cool_modules on telegram
Root required
ADB Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. ADB debugging Enabled
3. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)
4. Flash the SystemUI Base First. It provides the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.
7. Flash the "mymagisk.zip" in Magisk App.
This mod also installs a QS and settings background overlay option under settings/Display/Device Theme. There are a few QS tile color options with an option to change the settings background to black.
This is firmware specific. If a Pixel firmware update changes either the SystemUIGoogle.apk or Framework-res.apk, this mod will need to be updated. Uninstall this module before updating your phone.
As with anything else you flash on your phone, you run the risk of a bootloop. This might not be compatible with some other modules. Flash at your own risk.

Change the number of hot seat icons on home page (and size) as well as change the number of columns in the app drawer.
Instructions are the same as above...Install base, pick options, complete installation. Mymagisklauncher.zip will be in ozop folder.
Remove Google Search Bar
App Drawer background color (Light and Dark Mode)
App Drawer Text Color
Home screen App Text Color

Hi @Tulsadiver , is it possible to add animations like in your previous mod maker?
How does the launcher module function with the phone when the launcher is updated?
Will it merely not work, or will it have the potential to cause launcher crashes?

Not at this time. Modification to the framework-res.apk resources.arsc causes bootloop.

Like most mods, it would need to be updated if it were to change. I personally, always have Nova installed and it would default to it.
Just tried with everything done right with the may zip for may FW. Unfortunately my system hasn't changed anything with the options I've chosen. Will tinker a bit to see what happened.

Could you upload the mymagisk.zip from your ozop folder so I can get a look at it?
Edit: do you have the bootloop protector magisk mod installed?
