Hello Friends,
Just dropped by to share my app GALAXY ICON THEMER. As the name implies it is an icon themer for rooted Samsung Galaxy devices on TouchWiz ROMs. It would seem that some Samsung Galaxy devices have native built-in Icon Pack Theming support since Jelly Bean as discovered by @M_J_Nazari although supported icon packs are limited (barely exist) as it does not support popular icon packs from the Play Store. Curiously, I wondered if it was possible to enable support for Play Store icon packs (ADW, Nova, Apex, Go, Solo, etc.) and so with some testing, I was able to do so and made this app for convenience as the manual process would take like forever.
This is a beta release so expect some bugs/issues.
SUPPORTED DEVICES: most Samsung Galaxy devices on ROOTED TouchWiz ROMs {JellyBean 4.1.2 and above including Kitkat} although not sure which devices has complete native built-in theming engine/framework/code. The theming engine may be different between devices so there may be issues/problems to consider. This app has nothing to do with the way the theming engine works or coded.
DOWNLOAD below. Install. Install some icon packs from the Play Store (most icon packs but not all). Run the app, grant supersu permission and go De-TouchWizise your stock launcher. Effect for icon theming is ALMOST systemwide. Effect on stock launcher needs no reboot, just a launcher restart which is done by the app itself. Effect systemwide needs at least a soft reboot. ENJOY.
GET the PRO version - offers per app icon theming with ability to pick icons from gallery or custom icon sets.
I would appreciate feedback/suggestions.
thanks a lot. You are always awesome. working well on Note3 S5 port Rom.

It doesn't seem to be working for me on my Galaxy S5.
I gave the app root permission, then downloaded a bunch of themes. I can tap the themes, hit "OK" on the "Apply selected theme?" message, then I even get a "Theme Applied" toast message. But nothing changes on the stock Touchwiz Home launcher.
Awesome works great. Thank you

On pro version you would have "per app" icon control whether using custom photo from gallery or installed icon set. :good:
Well,I have some tips for you to...Modify or Make your phone looks better without flash a new ROM.
First of all,You need something:
Your device,I don't care what is it,Even a microwave.
Root(In order to modify something)
*Custom Recovery(That could help you root,too.)
(*Required root)
*Xposed Framework(Something can make your notification bar transparent,Mostly work on Samsung Phones[4.1.2+].)
*If you're a LG phone,You can use the app "Smartworld"..Browse and download themes you like.
So let get started.
#1:Nova Launcher+icons will be best choice for non-rooting and keeping your warranty's choice.
Also,Nova Launcher got performance on some bad spec phone like Single Core + 512MB RAM,Still can run smoothly.(Tested on S7392)
*Transparented notification bar available,But only the launcher,not in app.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
So,Xposed+XTweakbox will be your choice(Not work on some phone like...Notification bar not included in launcher.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So make sure you have a custom recovery before you do it.Because when the framework not compatible your device,You will stuck in a Bootloop...And if you don't ever heard what is bootloop,Leave this choice alone.:fingers-crossed:And i heard of safe mode in android could disable xposed framework,If you have a bootloop,try and comment down here..
Xposed can do many things,Like as i said above,Changing notification bar's color,Even set it as transparent...
Changing the signal thing's bar to 4-6...G-Touchwiz....etc

The easiest way is to Flash a custom ROM on your device with the new CM11 Theme Engine inside and then you´re able to apply icons packs , styles , keyboard styles , notification bar styles , quick settings styles , system settings app themed , fonts , lockscreens , sounds , wallpapers , whatsapp themed and much more!
I´m using ACIP ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S2 !
But i will get in 2-3 months my brand new LG G3 !
Gravity box, is the best module of xposed for personalice de phone

I agree with this. Seems easier and more functional to flash a custom ROM if youre going to all that trouble.
Good walk through though.

Why no one use Trebuchet Launcher ?

Whenever you look to the stars, think of one of them as my soul.
I use nova on all my Android devices, has all the features I desire to modify my user experience as far as home screens are concerned. Xposed +Wanam gives me the ability to color what all black changes to a more grey theme.
Sent from my SM-G900A
@Veyne I use nova also on all my devices when there is no theme engine available in my custom roms.
But styling using theme engine is much better than ordinairy nova / go launcher themes .
Because theme engine will also change settings UI keyboard UI
And much more like bootanimation

There is a new launcher called SOLO LAUNCHER. It features the tap twice to switch off the screen and Google now! looks similar to S5 theme!
Hit thanks if found helpful!

I love how I can change my notification light on my LG G3 depending on what it is. Text, app, missed call, email, etc. Also, is it possible to change status bar icon colors on Touchwiz like you can do with the Blisspop g3 ROM or using xposed with G3 tweakbox?
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm guessing it will still have one, but note that Samsung changed the way the LED works in Touchwiz since 5.1.1 and it doesn't play as nice with apps like Lightflow. More info: http://www.reactle.com/2015/07/samsungled.html
No word on if it's better/worse with 6.0.1

There are workarounds to get LF working with the S7 and Edge, albeit with a bit of a kludge. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66126893&postcount=2
Here's a quick tip for everyone who wants to use S7 Edge slideapp feature on S7. Glovebox is the perfect alternative that provides quick access to apps. You can add/remove apps as you want. Though it doesn't have option to have multiple slidepanes like weather and contact, but does pretty good job in giving quick access to favourite apps.

NOTE: Samsung has confirmed the Android Pie update for Galaxy J7 (2017), so you'll get all Pie apps when the update is completed.
This post will no longer be updated since I'm not using this device anymore.
You can still try to update the compatible apps to newer versions if they are available (maybe they could work).
Don't expect incompatible apps to install in the future, unless until the Pie update.
All apps listed are installable as normal apks, without needing root or recovery.
Compatible apps:
Samsung Internet Browser 9.0.01.45 - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-internet-for-android-9-0-01-45-release/
Some previous versions had a bug and couldn't download anything properly, but it has been fixed in this version

Samsung Experience Home 10.0.00.55 beta - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...rience-home-touchwiz-home-10-0-00-55-release/
You'll need to clone the app (read notes below), install the cloned app AND SET IT AS THE DEFAULT LAUNCHER (if this is not done it won't work). It may crash sometimes.
Incompatible apps:
Samsung Gallery
Samsung Messages
Samsung Phone
Always On Display
Samsung Game Launcher
Samsung Calendar
Samsung Finder
To clone an app:
You'll need to install App Cloner: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/applisto/app-cloner/
Open App Cloner.
Go to the folder icon on the top left corner.
Click on the round + icon that has appeared on the bottom right corner and select "From a file".
Find the APK you donwloaded and open it. It may take a few minutes.
Once it is open, click the tick (✓) icon and wait a couple of minutes.
Install the app.
This process doesn't mean that you can install anything. If the app is not compatible due to the architecture or Android version required, or the cloned app crashes, you can't make anything to solve it.

I have installed Samsung home experience 10.0.00.55
By Appcloner and I made it the default app for my device so far I have not had any problem except that the shortcuts on the home screen (below) are without names. The option to hide the application when you press and hold an application that has not been added.
-Added option (app info) again (not in version Oreo 8.1 and found in Nougat version 7.0)
-The rotation of the home screen works well except that the icons when turning (landscape) are small and inappropriate.
Note: My device is j730f Oreo 8.1
