Everything as been said, is there a way to remove those EMUI icons and just use the stock android ones, like on the Google Pixel ? Without using a theme if possible.

I believe using a theme or another launcher (Nova) is the only way. You can probably find a theme that only changes the icons. Might take a little while as the phone is still new.

You can change the theme to the following:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/themes/theme-pixel-dusk-classic-theme-emui-5-t3567731
From the theme you can customize and pick the icons from the above theme which need to put into the internal memory /Huawei/Themes folder. If your phone is rooted, this will not work. You need to create a folder "themes" in system and put the hwt file in this folder. Remember to change the folder permission to 755 and the file to 644 before it can work.

Didn't want to use a theme at first but this was pretty straightforward and did the job just fine.
Thank you very much.

huawei themes app, have different styles of icons, and I m using nova launcher, which allow changing the size and using pixel icons package, which is great !
Try Emui Themes Factory. Loads of nice themes there. Or just use Nova Launcher.
Thank you very much fellas, it was great @amonrei ?

Hello,
I was trying to make the app drawer transparent, tried editing the apk from /data/app/com.helixproject.launcher.apk
I assumed \res\drawable\pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png is the BG for the app drawer, tried to make it semi transparent and then pushed it to the apk in /data/app.
IT DIDN'T WORK!
Helix Launcher doesn't work anymore, I had to restore it using titanium.
I also tried editing the installer apk, signed the app using signapk, then used adb install. and I got:
file 'helixlauncheredited.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml
Do you have any other way to make the app drawer transparent? I really love the Helix Launcher and doesn't want to use other homescreens, I just wanted to make the app drawer transparent ^_^
Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much!!
(HelixLauncherDONUT_1.2 is the one I'm using)
Try this.... You have to resign it with Auto-sign(If you search you can find on XDA).
Thanks for trying sir, I installed and it...
doesn't work... sorry. The app drawer ended up looking like gibberish with all the apps multiplying and overlapping everywhere. Have you any idea why this happened? Maybe setting the png to just semitransparent can do the trick?
Problem is if you open the drawer you see a black background with apps but under this is your homescreen. So if drawerbackground is transparent you see both.
Why you would have a transparent backgraund? The black one looks good.
Sorry for my english.

Hmm. now that you've said it, I realized that you can't just change the .png to transparent. I just want the app drawer's BG to be the same as the wallpaper's. Black is not really my color lol. I prefer grey, mint green or brown...
BTW, can you please tell me how you edited the apk to make the app drawer transparent? From the files you've edited to signing the app? I think it would be useful in modifying other apps...
ok for example helix with transparent background.
you need auto-sign from this forum(cant post links as newbie) . winrar and an picture editor like photo shop.
1. unpack the helix.apk with winrar in a folder like /helix on your desktop.
2. go to folder /helix/res/drawable and change or edit every png you like
3. delete folder META-INF and pack the rest into zip
4. move the helix.zip to auto-sign folder and rename into Update.zip
5. double tab on Sign.bat. Now you have update_signed.zip
6. rename update_sign.zip to helix.apk and install on your phone.
hope you understand, my english is not the best.
good luck

Thanks a lot sir! I have no trouble understanding your English. I will try this out on my downtime...
Hi I've been trying to change individual icons for my apps in MIUI with no luck. Does anyone here know how to change the icons?
Or if the only way to do it is to make my own theme, does anyone know how to do that? I've tried to follow a guide on the MIUI forum with no luck. It was a really easy thread and just didn't work at all.
Have also tried to modify an already existing theme with no luck. (rename .mtz to .zip. unzip, change the icons they have in there, rezip, rename to .mtz, do import theme from theme manager).
This has been bugging me, so if anybody knows that would be amazing! Thank you!
There might be an easier way, but I'm pretty sure you can open each application apk with a zip tool(winrar) and pull out the image icon, then edit it and replace the original in the zip tool(overwrite). then push the apk back to your phone.
Hey!
I'm currently making my own icons for apps in MIUI, but I also want to restyle apps downloaded in the market..
Since you have to rename the icons to the name of the files, like:
com.android.email.png and
com.facebook.katana.png
I also need to find the names of the apps I downloaded, so I can make custom icons for them, but I don't know where to find the names.
Does anyone know how I can find them so I can make custom icons for them?
Thanks in advance!
solution
Ok.. I have found the solution, but I still have a question!
Solution:
You first need to search for the app you want to make an icon for:
For example:
I want to make a custom icon for WhatsApp..
I go to the android market (on the internet) and search for the app..
Click on the app.
You now get to this page:
market.android.com/details?id=com.whatsapp&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53aGF0c2FwcCJd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You only need to copy whats between the = and the &
in this case: it's com.whatsapp
So in the icons folder, you need to make
com.whatsapp.png
that will be your custom whatsapp icon.
----
Now still I have a question!
I also want to make custom icons for apps, which I didn't download in the market. (AltDrawer for instance). But I don't know where to find the name of that app to make a custom icon for it.. Does anyone know the answer?
Using a root browser, go to data/system/customized_icons_1
Copy that folder to your SD card if you want. All of the unthemed icons are listed in that folder with the proper name. Sometimes the name you get from the Market isn't the process that shows up on your homescreen, so using that method is much easier and gives you the exact name for everything that isn't in your theme.
Pretty neat, huh?

That did work out really well! Thanks very much!
thanks for this!
Well this is really weird... I tried everything. I have downloaded a really nice icon-set that I use (Signa) and couldn't manage to add 2 icons...
I went to data/system//customized_icons_1/ and checked the name of the .png files for the apps. After that I have renamed the .png files to those names. Still nothing...
Device: HTC Desire
ROM: MIUI XJ 2.3.30
Attached are the files and the link are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5SZWxtdGVjaC5SZW1vdGUiXQ..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=JakedUp.AppDrawer&feature=search_result
As a workaround I have replaced those icons from data/system//customized_icons_1/ with the ones I have attached and it works but it changes back after a reboot... I'd like to make this permanent by adding it to the icon the .mtz file.
Thanks in advance

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I cannot seem to find the thread...
My phone is rooted...I'm copying fonts into the system/font folder, but the new fonts are not showing up in the list. I am checking the folder to Mount R/W, so it lets me copy them.
Also, is ther a way for me to get Go Launcher to default to the system font? Anytime I change the system font, I also have to change it in Go Launcher for everything to match.
use app like font changer, font installer, it should works.

Just install rom toolbox. Simple and easy to use. Do all the font they provide choose and install then restart phone. Done

Here are some custom themed Note Pro Keyboard apk files with screen shots available for download. Mikep2323 and I have been working on different themes and will post more as they become available. To install, just download the apk, change the name to SamsungIME.apk. Then using a file explorer of your choice (with superuser privilege) backup and delete the original apk from system/app and replace with a themed apk. Reboot, then with your file explorer navigate to the apk click on it and install with package installer. Once that is done you will need to go to settings/controls and enable Samsung keyboard as primary input and download your language dictionary in the keyboard settings.

I dont think so cause there both named SamsungIME.apk.You can always just rename one and keep them both in system/apps then change back and fourth if you wanted.I usually name the original one org.SamsungIME.apk then put the themed one in and if i want to change back to original i just change the names around reboot and original one is back there.Hope this helps.
