ICONS on APP Drawer

Do you guys know how to replace the icons on the app drawer??
any way like flashing it?
thanks...

fastest way : use one of the launcher (go launcher,adw,etc) and then download the theme....
other way : decompile,change icon, compile back some apk (CMIIW)....but I never try it before, so I don't know which apk you must decompile.... sorry for that...
I'm just a nubie

thanks for the reply, though i know the launchers... it's just that i wanted to have icons alone... for the steel blue theme that has been ported for G-Fit...
probably, i have to wait more for something, for bulk changes...

You have to change the apk's icons one by one if you don't use any launchers that supports icon packs (stock launcher)

I am not sure about WinRAR....
Have you tried it?
WinRAR's Compression methods are different than that of 7-ZIP and I am not sure if you will end up with the correct compression for your modified APK file....

Some icons of some apps are stored in the ".apk" file of the particular app.....

I use winrar too, to change the statusbar icon

Well 7zip is better than winrar and its what I use when compiling and editing apk files

i have builded an .zip
where are just some filemaps with there name on it like mms.apk
and in that you will find res map and in there another map and in there just an icon you can change this icon in what you want and zip all files again
no need to pull every apk and do it one by one
(will upload the zip as soon possible )
heres gow i modded mine

I see, you're pretty rich eh ~ and how is that possible you can change the icons without touching the apk's? can you elaborate more ? I can mod TouchWizLauncher's too but not that much, I don't mean to be harsh but your post made me think you brag too much

if you download from here the zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421126
when openend you find only filemaps with the name of an app like mms.apk
insinde is res map and another map
just place in the last map your icon rename it like thevicon in there and zip it again
but i think you will need to mod an xml file because the fit is an ldpi screen ....

Any way to apply only part of a theme rather than whole thing?

Just wondering if its possible to just apply a part of a theme rather than the whole package? Like just the icons, or just the AOD?

Unfortunately, no. It's been this way since Samsung started offering themes, and so far no solution has been found
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

On a ported ROM for note 3 I used to uninstall the custom icons of the theme using the titanium backup Pro and used unicon to apply custom icons from the play store.
See how u can work with this info for your own convenience.

There is a way but you must know how to use apktool and have knowledge of what goes where. If unpack a theme store theme you will be able to say swap the lockscreen apk for another themes.
Edge of insanity

You can in fact disable parts of themes if you have root. For example if you want to keep stock keyboard theme and everything else be black, you need to find the apk for that portion of the theme and delete it after the complete them has been installed and reboot. Freezing them won't work.

You can use this tutorial to find the part of the theme that you do not want to apply. Hope this helps.

You can replace the icons for any app inside a theme without root. I mean the ones which are already in such theme. You don't even need a PC!
I have just moved to the s7 edge and I am temporarily unrooted and it took me something like 5 minutes to figure how to do it lol!
Apk extractor plus apk editor (the second one is a paid app) and the trick is done. Just extract the theme you need and replace the icons inside with your favorite ones. Just remember that png files must be renamed to qmg (just renamed, not converted). Recompile and install. Apply another theme and then apply the one you have just modded, that's all!
Weird nobody has shared a guide yet. If any of you appreciates it, I can share a detailed how to.
Apk editor is not compulsory, but it is one of the few paid apps I bought.

Sorry

Easy : if you want for example not the icons of the theme : use ''Debloater'' search it on xda, kill ''Theme ... apicon'' and on your phone you can now see it in app, uninstall, reapply theme and that's all ^^

Hey bro have you managed to make the tutorial? As the previous poster said... Many would like to do the same. For example I'm looking for a way to rip icon pack from touchwiz theme. I don't know how.
The theme is called Grey_abstraction from guy called Alex pie. I like the theme but I love the icons but he does not have it in the theme store. Would you know how to do that?
I'm NOT rooted

Nice theme but a problem.
Nice theme, i loved it but whenever i want to make some actions at the gallery i can't because i can't see the buttons and i dont quite remember which one is the one i needed.

Approx 3000 viewers and thanks meter at 8 wow
You did a beautiful theme sir / love it / it's perfect
Thanks :good:

After 24h I noticed a big bug with this theme. I couldn't install any apk from storage "package installer has stopped". Probably because of icon size ? With default theme it's ok to install

It's simple: Download apk.Install it.
Return to the stock theme. Re-Apply it In the center of the Samsung. Reboot device.
Go to the center of the Samsung theme (or just hold the finger on the desktop and click on the “wallpaper”) on the “theme” tab and find a new one (with “trial” status). Apply it.

looking for a font app for s10+ unrooted

Hi as title says I'm looking for any font apps that may work with an unrooted s10+ I've looked through the galaxy store and been un- impressed as I couldn't find what I wanted. Do you guys have any recommendations for any font directories that work for Samsung ??

Wingfonts, here's a link to the download.
You have to put the exe on your computer (which you will find in the wingfonts folder on your phone after installing the apk. Connect with usb and usb debug and run the exe on your computer, install theme, select font. Then restore your current theme after you select font.
Or you can use synergy and substratum lite theme maker where some themes have font package overlays.

Thanks. I'll have a look tonight after work. I never thought of substratum I'm currently using sub lite with so that might be the easiest option. Thank you very much

These are the three with font overlays.

Thanks for the wing fonts suggestion. I ended up installing telegram to Download the most recent wing font apk file, which has synergy support, meaning I didn't need to use abd. They have literally thousands of fonts
