either u install the half size nave bar by tigerhoods (search for the apk in note 8 theme thread) or just install the substratum from playstore then you can customize all your apps looks including notifications pull down menu (you can check this thread for substratum overlays https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792)

[THEME][OVERLAY][TouchWiz][LOLLIPOP] S6 layer for S5

S6 Layer Theme for TouchWiz Lollipop on S5​
This is an overlay theme for the S5 which applies the S6 look to quicksettings without any system file replacement.
This can be applied by installing the Layers Manager App from Playstore. [link]
Currently this only themes the quick settings. I intend to design more overlays for all the other apps, so that users can install the S6 look without a custom ROM or replacing System files.
How to Install!
Method 1 -> Install Layers Manager -> Copy layer Apks to SDCARD -> Open Manager -> Select Layer to Apply -> Apply Layer - > Install All ->Reboot -> Done
Method 2->Copy APK to /vendor/overlay folder-> change permission to 755/rwx-rw-rw -> Reboot phone->Done
This is still a work in progress, and I would be trying to make more apps look like S6. Please inform me of any bugs.
A thank you to BitSyko Development Team !!
I'll be attempting to develop more themes for TouchWiz in the future!
Hit Thanks if you like this or would want me to make more themes!!

Copy it to System/vendor/overlay
If you dont have overlay folder then you have to create overlay folder and change permissions to 0775
Then copy the Apk to System/vendor/overlay and change the permission to 0664

Mute icon is white..... please fix
Layers app isn't working. Manually setting them. But what permission do I set the vendor folder.. Or do I leave it as is?

Dark notifications and other overlays

Read this and some posts before posting!!!
This is an overlay thread...for rro overlays -think layers not substratum..If you have any safe overlays you found works nicely with the phone. You can upload it...with a picture. You can install the overlays and apps found in this thread without root and can modify your system to have dark notifications, different nav bar icons, different nav bar height..etc these are very small like Kb's in size so it's lightweight also..please hit the thanks button there is a lot of work in these files..TAKE A SCREEN SHOT when you install these overlays in case you dont want it, because these apps have various names installed.
the op is updated to like page 30 or something your going to have to do a little work and look around but hey you might also learn something along the way...use the search thread function to find your favorite devs work...

Dont tell me it wont work im running an xperia nav bar and like 5 other overlays without root. The inversion ui for the playstore i have from my xperia still works, so some of these should still work without root standard install.
I posted this in the themes section cause its a mod once the files get uploaded. feel free to turn this into an overlay thread where people can upload various overlays. I added a screenshot with my nav bar so you know its possible. Again thank you to anyone willing to help.

Strange. It works
Anyone know where else I can download mode navbar icons so I can change the ones in the apk?
I don't like the Pixel ones but the idea is very nice, just need to find some custom icons to replace in the apk and use those.
Here are overlays for samsung rounded ui.. Unzip package below install as normal apk reboot done.
Only some of your menus will be rounded Samsung is to far from stock Android-your status bar will not be rounded.

You have Pictures from that?
Here is a pick of the playstore...this mod is subtle you will notice it on pop up menus and stuff it may not be for everyone as its not 100% complete . BTW I install all of these first to make sure there won't be any problems. So you can just install it and delete it if you don't like it the zip file is way less then a mb to download.
Is it possible to get the Stock Android Navbar aswell? Thank you!

Changing icons and grid size

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum. Currently using pixel 3 on nova and don't plan to root. I really like the UI on stock pixel three but three things are driving me nuts.
No notification numbers
Cant use icon packs
Unable to change grid size
That huge bat that comes with new navigation gestures (I do like the idea though)
Question is, are there any lightweight launchers that can do all that? Plus if possible still have new pixel gestures but with a transparent navigation bar? I'm currently using nova, although I like it, I would want something that closely mimics the pixel 3 UI. Anything a out there that does all that. Thanks for the help!

Check this forum for TulsaDiver's P3 launcher mod script. I've not wanted to move away from the stock launcher but couldn't stand the search bar, grid size and icon labels. He put in a ton of work and built an ADB based solution.
Edit: Just saw that you said you don't want to root. This sort of thing is why you root.
What about Lawnchair v2? I've been using it since the day I got my P3, and I think it does all the things you mentioned.

What I mean is when you open multitask (sliding up from bottom) with default launcher you get some quick access to most used apps and also multitask (that 2 things at same time), also the sliding option is integrated, so if you slide half way it opens multitask with quick acces, and if you slide up until the end, it open the app box.
I didnt find any way to replicate that.
Well, no third party launcher can do what you want... yet.
If you want to keep the stock launcher and change icons, root is the way to go, sadly.

changing the height of navigation bar on stock?

any idea? The stock nv bar is definitely too high for me. Has anyone successfully changed it without using xposed modules?

@Moriatier, you're back! After starting the world-famous V30 Frankenstein thread you just sort of disappeared!
I wrote up the instructions (later in the thread) but you were the one who really started the discussion.
You can use Substratum and even though it's made for Samsung devices, you can use the samsung system mods theme to change the nav bar height. I use it to set mine to zero so I can use gestures instead. But they have other height options in it. Probably best not to mess with any of the other parts in there though since it IS for Samsung devices. Although I got "more animation scales" in settings working too.

Assuming you know how to use Substratum, just install this and set the nav height to the one you want and then reboot

I believe you can use substratum without root in Oreo. It's been a while but I think I was using it before rooting. It uses a systemless method. Substratum has a fail safe in it where If it detects a problem like system ui keeps force closing so many times, it will disable the overlays and set it back to normal. So there isn't too much of a risk. I got myself in some situations where I couldn't do anything and just got a bunch of force closes but Substratum took care of it. Never had an issue with the Navbar overlay though. If you ever want the navbar back, you just go into Substratum and disable the overlay and reboot.
I'm rooted but the reason I didn't use OnePlus Gestures built in nav bar hide is because it had some minor annoyances. Like when I would unlock my device, the navbar would show for a split second then disappear. So I just felt, for me, it was better to use substratum and get rid of it all together. Although, with this method, you can actually toggle it off and on real quick.

[REQUEST] Custom Battery Icon

Hi!
Is it possible to change our battery indicator to MIUI or iOS style? It was possible with an Xposed module called Custom Battery Meter, but currently this is not working with OP 7T Pro OOS 10. I know there're 2 icons by default (stock/circular), but maybe one of you can make a magisk or an xposed module which can change the circular one to other style.
Maybe this is possible with some framework modification or something like that.
