Hello everyone!
I recently got the Google Pixel (first generation) and installed the latest Pixel 2 Launcher on it.
But since some icons looked out of place, I used the app "Awesome Icons" to change them and now I get a weird shortcut symbol next to the actual icon, that shows from which app the shortcut comes from.
I made a screenshot so you guys know what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/VmZl3
Is there any way to turn that off? Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind regards,
Jonny

That's default Oreo behavior. Try to use an icon pack instead of an app if you want your icons different.
Unfortunately pixel launcher doesn't support icon packs, maybe try another launcher if u want.

Hey,
So if any one you have downloaded the launcher pro icons app you will notice some of them say "inverted" and they are black, I was wondering if someone could mimic there icon list but have them all inverted rather than just the few available in the current app?

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.
Hey everyone. As you all may know, Google recently updated thr Google Play Store and gave it a new icon update (which removes the bag/basket background at the back of the play logo.) I honestly hate the new icon, compared to the other icons anyway. The icon now sticks out on my home screen and apps pages like a sore thumb. I don't have any idea on how to get back a background for the icon, apart from obviously turning on app icon frames/background in the phone's settings, but I don't like doing this as well since it turns most of my apps into ugly rounded white-ish app icons. Anyone know how to get back the old icon without downgrading the Play Sotre it self. Any help will be appreciated. Screenshots down below..Thanks.
You can use this app to customize shortcuts, though you'll likely need an icon pack: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bhanu.appshortcutmaker

Other alternatives are to install another Icon Pack from the Theme store, or install a new launcher like Nova and have complete freedom for customising everything, including individual icons

Ask in the Pixel XL forums, this is the S7 forums
Hello guys.
I have 2 similiar Icon Packs (LineX & Linebit). I have some apps from my country that are not in the icon pack. When I manually pick the icon pack and want to search for replacement icons (school grade app=any school themed icon) it shows all icons, but I can't search with words for particular one like with Nova Launcher...so I'd have to scroll all the way through and look through over 4000 icons each time. I have OnePlus 7 Pro with Android 10.
I tried "Iconzy" icon pack manager with search engine. Works with Nova Launcher, but when I try it in OnePlus launcher...it shows "Unable to load icon package source" or something like that.
So I'm stuck...I can't search per icon pack, cuz there is no magnifying glass icon to search....Iconzy doesn't work. Tried some other app called ICondy, but it made APK file of the icons I"ve picked for each app from the 2 bought icon packs previously mentioned, but when installed and picked - it didnt make a damn thing. All apps looked like STOCK. I now understand whz...ICondy app was updated in 2015 for Android 6, so that's maybe why.
Any suggestion where I could have search button for the icons? Or an app / software for PC where I could make my icon pack from these 2 icon packs (LineX & Linebit) that would suit my needs? I'm fine with this tedious workaround, it will be much easier to pick it from 2x4000 icon list with the scary part that it might bug and lose it's memory.
And why? I heard Nova Launcher (any 3rd party launcher) is buggy on Android 10 because some gesture elements or IDK. And I want to see the changed icons in "Recent Apps / Multitask app manager", which Nova Launcher doesn't change I believe.
Thanks a lot guys
