Change NavBar Buttons style without root..?? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

So I know that some progress has been made with Sungstratum (samsung subtratum) in regards to the centering of the clock and a few other things like that, but I haven't read much on changing the NavBar icons without being rooted.. Just curious if this can be done w/o root...? I just came from an LG V20 and there was a whole slough of NavBar icons in substratum, but when I searched this morning I didn't see any..
Thanks in advance!

I guess that would depend on what you are looking for.
If you haven't already, download substratum and give https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792 a try. It doesn't require root and it does in fact change the button icons, choices between the Pixel, Alt Pixel, AOSP and Parapaper icons. If you want to go back to stock, just uninstall the overlayers. I recommend the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/apk-reverting-to-black-navbar-t3679747 if you prefer a dark style of the Nav bar.
If you are looking for something more custom, perhaps someone else has other ideas!

Check the note 8 overlayers thread, there is an AOSP navbar there in post 1
You can use Apkeditor to replace the aosp icons with your own from then on to create your own

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated!
I suppose I'll drop that $2 on the samsung substratum integration addon, just wasn't sure if that was needed for everything and I read many individuals who had purchased it were unable to utilize the features.. I did see Venom offered some free ones, so I'll give those a go first and proceed from there until I find what I'm after.. I just like things that are different than stock..

This is the app I used with my V20 and it had a plethora of diff NavBar options to change the three little icons down bottom..

Remove Clock From Notification Bar - DL30

I updated to the Froyo leak yesterday and I am loving it so far. I ported over my theme, but I don't know how to remove the status bar clock in the corner. I had it removed on DJ05, but I don't know how to port that mod over. Can someone help me?

Thank you so much!! =)
I'd like to have something similar only instead of removing the clock all together, I'd like to just have the AM/PM removed.... Is this doable?
need opposite
Hey is there a flashable zip file that will bring the status bar clock BACK? A lot of the ROMs and Themes have these off and i know some of the themes have versions to flash with or without the clock. But if i flash a theme with a clock but then want a different theme without the option to choose and it doesnt have a clock, it won't stick right?
So is there a way to keep everything i have and just get the clock back?

is transparent dock possible

is there anyway of having the dock transparent on the homescreen of my non-rooted htc one, it looks intrusive when setting a nice wallpaper. they have done the status bar and it would have looked better with the dock also, i know i can use a custom launcher and get rid of the dock altogether. but i find must launchers will bring up the black bar with the three dots at some point which is just as bad. so does anyone know if anybody has looked into this without using root or custom rom. thanks in advance..........................sudeki300
Yeah, i have asked for this myself, but i dont want to root.

There are mods available to do this but you need to unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery and then root your device.... the options without are limited if not non-existent.
I would prefer to use an launcher than doing all that, i have used GO Launcher on my S3 and it worked great, might give it a go on my H1

I also would like to do this , and I am rooted
is there something I could flash ?

[Q] Navigation Icons (Soft Keys) changed somehow

This is gonna end up sound like a stupid easy fix, but I have searched everywhere and cannot find a way to change the look of the icons.
For one, the button on the left change from "Recents" to some stupid "Flip between two apps you used" that is getting really frustrating.
And two, the icons of the buttons themselves changed somehow. How does one change it back to the regular ones? I am using Resurrection Remix rom and Nova Launcher
Screenshot
Have you changed themes? I'm running the minimal theme and have the same softkeys. Themes will change them. As far as them being switched, I haven't ran Resurrection yet, but there should be something in the settings to flip-flop and edit them I'm sure. Have you changed anything in there?

I guess it's happening for the specific theme you're using as I can see you navigation bar, you seemed to be using a theme, right? If so then it's a normal thing. To switch between styles of navbars of your choice use SoftKeyZ
Thank you for the reply guys. I am indeed using a theme but these styles showed up randomly, days after I installed the theme. I even went as far as installing a completely new theme and they remain. I tried the SoftKeyz app and even that app can't seem to change them. I wouldn't even mind these so much if the left key was the recents and not a switch between last two apps used.

[Q] How to force EMUI not to add icon background?

Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

Jeeezus man u moaning in every section of this phone.. ar you sure you did the right thing buying this phone?
Or you don't know what themes is? Where you can customize ? Even icons..gosh man .. complaining about some "icons are too rounded"
What on earth complain is this..
Sorry that I asked a questions in q/a thread, it seems valid to me, maybe answers will help someone...

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.

Question Is there any way to remove the clock from the lockscreen? And any possible customization on lockscreen?

I know about the double-line clock option in the settings but it's still ugly for me. I want to completely remove the clock and that small widget from the lockscreen. Is there any way to do that?
Also is there a way to customize the lockscreen? I've heard of klck but it seems like this doesn't customize the lockscreen but just creates another lockscreen on top of the original lockscreen? I don't want to go through two lockscreens in order to unlock my phone.
For now you can't remove the clock since the module for custom clock isnt working in pixel a13, but you can customize it a little with aosp mods, i've added custom text below date, custom text that replace operator and bottom shortcut. nothing more for now

Dang. Just have to wait then. Thank you very much for the reply! Would you know which module it would be once it eventually (hopefully) gets updated?
