Themes permanently changed my icons systemwide - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What wasn't supposed to happen happened: I was using the theme sd-black, and then I put my phone in ultra power saving mode for a few hours. When I reverted back, everything seemed normal...until I changed themes and none of the icons changed. I switched to the default theme and while a few built in apps changed (like Phone and Messages), the rest stayed the same: tiny icons in a black circle. When I opened my icon pack themer, all the default app icons (which I can normally choose from, even with non default themes installed), were not options anymore. I've tried to use the same process that I think caused the bug to revert it, but nothing works. Any ideas?

[Morph] Consistent Static Notification Icons [update 8-28-10]

Made this because I was sick of having so many different sized and colored icons on the notification bar. That stuff drives me nuts, or maybe it bothers me because I am already nuts...but either way here it is.
This Morph converts your current static (ie-right side) notification icons to be consistent in size and color (White and Grey for Dark Bar, Black and Grey for Light Bar), and removes the black boxes around them. This only works for icons that appear on the right of the notification bar and will not effect "alert" icons that appear on the left side such as USB connection, Usb debugging, and others. Also included is a optional morph that will make your lockscreen alarm and charging icons more consistent with the main morphs. They can also be viewed in the image below.
Hit up the images below to see the full range of icons and a screen cap. Also this works great if you use the night rendering mode in CM6 frequently, as I do.
This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
=================================================
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

NEW VERSIONS FOR BOTH LIGHT AND DARK, MORE ICONS INCLUDED!
Ok, the version for light bars is done and posted below along with an icon overview image. I have also added in a few I missed the first time around like the sync icons and vibrate only icon, for both versions.
Saved for future post.
Applied the DarkOnly icons, in combo with GlasStatusBar.
Works great, looks nice, thanks for making this!
[CM6 RC3, on N1]
(notification bar looks a bit off, because of Drocap)

Nice, glad you like it. Nice screen shot too, thx for attaching.
I applied this via metamorph and restarted, yet no changes are showing, I'm running CM6 and Debugging is on.

Status bar menu and icons turned grey?!

I was wondering if anyone has had this happen before? I was just on my Captivate checking a few apps out and then all of a sudden the screen froze for a few seconds and all the icons disappeared and only the wallpaper was left displayed. During that time I was tapping the screen and whatnot wondering what happened and it stayed frozen like this for maybe 30 seconds before it finally came back to life, but I then noticed that whatever icons were displayed on the left side of the status bar turned grey and also when I pull down the menu from the bar it is also grey in color now.
Also I've noticed that the settings menu seems greyer as well. Does anyone have a way to fix this and bring the color back as the grey looks pretty crappy. I'm using Darky's 9.2 rom right now.
Edit: now that I'm looking at it more, it seems like ALL of the menus in all my apps now are greyed. Where before it use to be in color now everything is a dull grey?!
Can anyone help please??
Master Reset. Something (maybe a messed up app?) screwed up the graphics of your phone so if just restarting (... you DID try turning it off and back on, right?) doesn't work then just back up and master reset.
I'm guessing that you have tried rebooting, but if not try that. If that doesn't work flash to stock using Odin and if it still isn't fixed then try to get a replacement.

Changing the Applications Icon

Since Hyperdrive RLS13 came with Icon Changer Free, I've done some customizing to my home screen. Everything has gone well up to the point where I wanted to change the icon for the 'Apps' icon. There's no such item listed via the Icon Changer Free menus - is there a pretty quick and easy way to change this icon? I'm using the Neon Blue GO Launcher icons if that matters.
I'm also trying to figure out if it's possible to change the icons used for the lock screen. My best guess at this point is that I'd need to pull the apps onto my PC, change the icon there permanently, then re-load them to my phone? Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help!
One new thing to add. I removed the icon names with Icon Changer Free, yet when I reboot, all the icon names are back. Any fix for this as well?

InCallUI Custom Icons Won't Stay After Restart

After successfully altering the InCallUI (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) on my rooted S8, it does not retain after a restart or a Samsung system app update and reverts back to those default cartoony icons. I can return them again by changing back to default theme then re-applying my customized theme. Just beginning to be a bit of a pain in darse as this process also changes/breaks 3 or 4 other theming aspects, which are not affected by restarts, that I have to readjust to maintain my theme!
I know it all sounds very OCD, probably like most of us here, but anybody know if there is an additional configuration file/folder that needs to be edited/altered to make those "InCallUI" icons stick upon a restart?
Thanks in advance!

System UI not changing to black theme

I have substratum black theme with Andromeda on rootless Oreo Note 8.. all my themes work ( youtube, drive, email, etc) but the system UI (like the top part where all the toggle buttons are) won't change it just stays white.. it used to work until yesterday my device restarted and now only the system UI won't change. I've uninstalled it and re-enabled it but it just stays red (like how in the manager it has green for enabled and red for disabled) any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Same issue.
I'm having the same issue with Swift for Samsung using Andromeda non-root. What I noticed that is strange is that even after disabling and uninstalling, all the System UI overlays still show UP-TO-DATE. That makes me wonder if it doesn't apply the System UI overlays because it looks like they are already installed when they aren't actually installed.
Devs need to figure out a solution to this bug
same for me and i also cannot find the advanced settings toggle in version 970
