Icons from Samsung Theme Store only for Samsung Apps? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm changing my Note 9's theme to smt black with white icons, but whatever iconpack I use from Samsung Themes, most of the non-Samsung apps stay in full colour, even all the Google apps. Are the icon packs from Samsung Store only for Samsung apps? If yes, how can I apply iconpacks from Play Store that have a lot more content?

By design the icon packs only affect some Samsung apps.

Use a Custom Icon Packers with Nova Launcher in case you're ready to switch launchers.

Then why the point of customizing? I want a full black theme with with icons. So this means only the Samsung icons get white and all others in color?

[ICONS] [APEX] [NOVA] New Icon Pack, minimalistic with a Holo feel

Hi everyone,
I made a set of icons designed after the Action Bar icons from the Holo style introduced in Android 4.0
It's designed for Apex but work on Nova as well
You can find it in the Play Stor by looking for "ActionBar Icon Pack", it's just 99 cents.
If you like the Holo style and you want your whole device to fit with that, this icons fit perfectly with that!
I attached a few screenshots but you can find the whole list of apps available in the Play Store description, also. After a purchase you can ask for any icons you want and I'll add them.
Thanks a lot everyone!
I bought the pack, really love it. I'd like to see an XDA and Pandora icons added.

Theme Store vs Substratum for customization

Which one do you guys recomend for theming. I have been running substratum with Nova.
I like the theme store a lot. I'm running a nice dark theme with some purple in it. I've heard of substratum, but never actually used it.
I haven't used Nova on this, so far. I never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm liking touchwiz on the Note 8!

I have always used Nova since my galaxy S2
however... now TouchWiz has the option to swipe down to pull the notification bar down and Substratum is here...
im using a mixture of Substratum / Overlays from XDA / Theme from Samsung theme store with TouchWiz
Also because of these new updates this is my first ever device i have not rooted (YET)
That's pretty big for me!

I prefer substratum and another launcher. Some of the theme store themes look pretty good but the themers are only allowed theme the samsung apps and you end up with the cohesiveness of your theme looking bad.

this was my issue when i used Nova, annoying seeing everything themed and then opening the edge panel and all the icons being totally different.
however the only thing that kept me off touchwiz was the notification bar not being able to be pulled down from anywhere, but now that's 'fixed' ive been using the theme store and overlays... only substratum theme im using is to get the clock centered. still lots more choice with Nova/other launchers but there are some hidden gems in the theme store, or you could even grab some xda themes if you wanna go through the hassle of getting them to stick.
also i dont think substratum has enough choice for Samsung users yet, maybe i am too used to substratum for stock android rom. so much customisation where as for us at the moment barely any in comparison, even less if you are not willing to pay for every theme.

I always forget about the edge panel lol. I'm using Nova now but think I'm going to switch to the theme store for a bit. There aren't a lot of choices at all for substratum yet. I was trying to find a way to change the nav bar but none of the over lays work that I have found.

There's an aosp one in the overlays thread. You could also edit the apk and replace the aosp icons with your own to make your own nav bar using Apkeditor from the playstore
I just like the stock Samsung one better

LOL, glad to hear I'm not the only one! I've been using Nova since my Galaxy S3 days and was always the first thing I installed but I haven't used it yet on my Note 8, kinda liking TW right now.

I have 2 x Themes from theme store by Lucas Kendi.
"Blac UI" is a free theme.
His theme has i think the Pixel navbars.
If you install theme it also changes the Samsung
navbar.Also ringtones, notification sound. Etc
So ringtones etc, you have to change back to you preferred ones
His other theme (i have) Oxy black also changes the navbar.
Overall i use a mixture of Nova Prime /Samsung Themes and Klwp themes.
I found that as stated by others Substratum
themes are very limited and not worth installing on Note 8.
As i already have most paid Substratum Samsung Themes
i use them mostly on my spare Note 5.

Thanks!
Looked promising but it creates a theme at the end rather than an installable overlay like substratum. It's a nice tool to make a theme though
(Only problem is I then loose my Samsung theme icons etc) also have to go through the whole getting a 'Free trial' theme to stick
I'm happy with my setup at the moment anyway :good:
The only other issue I had with that app was not enough options to change I could only change a few bits, was hoping to fully black out apps but could only do headers and status bar etc

Note 8 Big home screen Icons (Like S10+ Android 9.0)

Hey guys.
Just a quick question. I saw the S10+ at the store today and saw that it had big icons, which I found to really like.
However, my icons on my Note 8 remain small and I would really want to get those big icons.
Am I missing something? Or is there a way to port the S10s launcher to the Note 8?
Thanks

I'm fairly certain it's a Samsung design choice. I think the difference is intentional from their end. What you can do, however, is install a third party launcher, such as Nova Launcher. With that you can change the size of the icons and the grid layout. You can even apply third party icon packs, which I like to do every so often to make things look a little different and "fresh".
Personally, I am not a fan of the massive icons in the SGS10's UI. I think that the Note 8's icons are the perfect size.
Their is a simple way for big icons

I have a solution for u buddy
Just go to home settings change homescreen grid to 4x5 and appdrawer grid too
U will get so big icons and just keep 4 icons in dock
And to justify the look increase the display size fron settings u will enjoy the one handed look of one ui
