How can I get icons from my themes and change the icons on my third party launcher. I hate the TouchWiz launcher and I like themes but I like the stock android icons from themes. How can I get the theme on the launcher. Is that possible.
You can have a theme on the system and then a custom launcher for icons you like etc. What you can't do is use icons from a theme on a third party launcher. Theme icons are tied to the theme and ultimately TouchWiz. I have a material theme on TouchWiz with Nova launcher and the Google now nova skin. Best of both worlds.

How do you change all your app icons when you download a icon pack?
Or do you have to manually use desktop visuallizer for every
-cm9-
If the launcher supports it, you just select the icon theme. ADW EX, for example, will accept most packs. As will Launcher Pro. Not sure about the ICS-based launchers though.
It works with apex, long press an icon and then edit, and press on the icon to change it

The same with Nova launcher.
Beamed from my Senny..
What if the launcher does not support it, such as Zeam launcher? Is there a app for it?

Some ROM's support changing icons via theme e.g. Rosie themes for sense based ROM's or themes for CM9. These icons are gets applied system wide irrespective of launcher you are using. You can even create one suiting to your needs.
hi all can anyone tell me what rom or luncher is this in thesamsung s4 in the photo
thks
Icon pack
Nova Launcher
or you can use
Apex Launcher
You can also use different launchers ie Go Launcher, Holo, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher but I recommend one of two above.
Have fun!
I think even Mokee OS launcher has the same view. BTW its based on ADW launcher.
That is Nova/Apex with Click UI theme..

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.

Unfortunately you cannot unless Nova has an option for "default," which I don't think it has. I can only get them to stick when using the Google Now launcher. I use xposed to tweak it.

Icons
Search the theme developers name in the play store. Some of the time they release just the icon pack there just for this reason.
What are some good themes for nova launcher?

There is no such thing as a theme for Nova Launcher. You can manually edit the colors for the drawer and folders, but nothing beyond that.
You can download themes from the Themes App from Samsung if you wish to change the appearance of the UI

You can't really 'theme' Nova Launcher, in that there isn't a button you press to apply themes. Everything is done manually.
You will probably need a combination of widgets, icon packs, and wallpaper to get the theme you want.
Nova Launcher is meant as a replacement launcher that is both simplistic and offering more options at the same time.
Play around with the settings, see what you can do. I've customised my app drawer so it's like the Pixel/Nougat's pull-up one, and applied an icon pack through Nova Launcher. You can then tweak almost everything to your own preference and make it the way you want it to be. I've also found it's a very fluid, clean launcher.
pixel icon pack ,
Head over to r/androidthemes on reddit . You may find some nice themes that use nova launcher .
Darkglow is pretty nice looking
