Change theme without root? - Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps

I have a theme from the theme store on my Verizon but I'd like to tweak with it.

What would you like to do? Examples?

There is plenty of things to do for as launchers, icons, fonts and apps to improve things. I've rooted plenty of devices on my own but now I'm stuck with the at&t note 4 locked bootloader just like verizon's. This is mine with nova launcher, zooper custom widgets, dash clock widget, note 5/s6 icons and Belle ui icons. Roundr @13%.

Icons

I recently downloaded ADW launcher using the flux theme. Not bad but I'm thinking of going back to stock launcher but would like to keep the fluxed icons. Is this possible?

i am not sure if it is possible with the regular ADW but i know in ADW EX that you if you go into the theme setting of ADW that you can set the theme to stock, and then you can just change the icons. If you need me to screen shot what i am talking about i can do that for you.
I think the OP wants the icon pack separate from ADW so they can use them in the stock launcher. In that case, I'm not aware of the icon pack's location. I've often wondered this myself. There are apps that will change any icon for any app on screen. Just need access to the icons.

Oh haha. I am sure that he could use an icon pack from the android section and use desktop visualizer to apply the icons. But that does take A LOT of time to do. But if you do use the icon packs from the android section, there are a lot of options too. Like a lot of options.
i think you can try to do it,maybe it sucess
I have adw ex but prefer go launcher. Can have certain themes with different icons, if that is what you are after.

New TouchWiz themes??

What if we use Nova Launcher but set a theme from the new TouchWiz themes... will it theme the phone dialer and other apps, or no?
I would say so. All other themes you you can get for Samsung phones through modding, romming, Wanam Xposed all work if you use Nova.
Touchwiz is only the launcher after all. The UI is spidered into lots of other stuff, so it should work.
i'm currently using nova launcher prime and yes it will change your dialer and the notification expand with all the quick settings, etc. its pretty cool using the purple theme, but i would wait until more neutural colored touchwiz themes are out, there's not many to choose from right now.
i want to add that nova launcher and the S6 is the best combination and i like how the S-Health walking widget can still be used. I remember on the S5 you couldn't use health widgets from samsung if you used a 3rd party launcher.

Only took the time to do this since you've given so much to the communty. i chose a very obvious custom theme to help everyone see what is affected after applying Nova Launcher.
Album
Notice the TouchWiz theme affects dialer, notifications/quick settings, settings menu, however it does NOT affect app drawer.
Icons, and font, also do not get affected as they are controlled by the 3rd party launcher (Nova).
I immediately reverted back to default TouchWiz theme after this..... LOL. Will be installing my favorite kovdev icon packs (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=kovdev&hl=en)
kovdev icons+nova launcher+S6 hardware = dream experience for me personally. will most likely only look into twrp recovery and xposed and nothing more for this S6.

What theme is this and is it available for Nova Launcher ?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know what theme is this ? I can't seem to find it by name in the Play Store. I would be interested in applying it to Nova Launcher.
Thanks !

No. That's in Samsung themes.

You could just use a pure black back ground and get a white icon pack for nova

I did, but no icon back looks to me as good as that Samsung pack Currently using Glyphsy icon pack, but the icons are too thin and do not match the rest of the dark theme.

i use nova launcher and I use themes - I just like to control my icons and use ones that I like - the phone is still heavily themed even with nova - notifications - lock screen 0- settings- toggles - etc. Why not use Nova ? Its just the launcher - not the theme...
Google for tatosxl compacticons on deviantart,there is an apk with limited number of icons and zip files with many icons.They are "thicker" than glyphy's.
See screenshot with Nova icons set to 120 %

Hello friend, look for Flight Flat Minimalist Icon 2.5.8. That is the best white icon pack in the market.

Has anyone figured out a workaround to changing icons on the Google Now Launcher?

I'm using the Google Now launcher on my S7, and it along with a Marshmallow theme from the Samsung theme store has given the phone a nice stock Android look. Unfortunately, the icon pack included along with the Marshmallow theme hasn't applied on GNL. I know GNL doesn't natively support icon packs but has anyone figured out a workaround for this? The TouchWiz icons stand out otherwise. And when I say icon packs, I mean in the app drawer too, not just modded shortcuts on the home screen.
In case you have root you can use Xposed and the XGEL module to use a different icon pack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-gel-settings-t2647275
Otherwise (i.e. without root) I would recommend a launcher like Nova.
I'm not rooted.

Use Nova Launcher. You can set it up to look exactly like GEL, but it's more functional and performs better. You can use Google Opinion Rewards to build up a couple of £/$ to cover the cost of "Prime" but it's not necessary.
Fyi for anyone googling this or looking for this still. I had my s7 edge display scaling set to condensed to fit more on the screen. Once I changed it back to standard (with the material Samsung theme applied) and rebooted the correct icons appeared. Could be that the change forces the launcher to recreate icons or clear it's cache etc.
Also, stock android lovers, install good lock from the galaxy app stores to bring the stock android notification shade and status bar into your s7. Got a very stock feel now with Samsung material theme, Google now launcher and good lock.
Hope this helps someone.
So switch your display scaling after setting your theme should flush the icons ??

[REQUEST][LAUNCHER] S7 Launcher with customizable icons

Hello everyone!
On the play store I found a lot of very beautiful free icon packs and I would use them to give a fresh look to my S7. However we know that the stock launcher does not allow to replace icons, unless they are not unloaded from the Samsung theme store. The solution would be to install a third-party launcher, but I prefer to use that stock. Does any of you have any advice? Do you know if there is any way to change the icons in the launcher stock?
Thanks in advance guys, peace
