I'm currently using the default theme on my mi max 3. However, I'm not satisfied with the app symbols. Some app symbols have a look that differs from their original look on other devices such pixel phones, iphones etc. This, for example, is true for the app symbols of such popular apps as Amazon, TeamViewer, IMDb or Mx player.
Could someone recommend a theme where the app symbols are unchanged?
Thanks.

The idea of this thread is to share experiences of what apps you've found that compliment each other so that their combination makes for a better overall experience.
Here's what I've found so far:
Autostarts & Task Identifier
Task Identifier alerts you when an app starts in the background, so you can know what's going on with your phone at all times. Autostarts breaks down all of the phone's event triggers that apps can hook into to be started. So TI alerts you when something goes on...Autostarts can provide the reasons.
LauncherPro & Elixir
LauncherPro is a home replacement app. Elixir is an app that provides lots of system info widgets...But the really sweet capability is its' more powerful and robust options of home screen icon layouts (like fitting 49 icons in a 4x4 layout!). LauncherPro's own 'Auto-fit Items' options for homescreen icons adds to the overall functionality so these 2 apps play well together.
Apps Organizer & Titanium Backup
I run CM7 nightlies, which means a lot of reinstalling system apps I don't want. Having an option in TB to remove a bunch of apps based on saved labels is a godsend! Apps Organizer lets you categorize and label all the apps installed and TB just so happens to recognize those labels. So the 2 play nice together.
I hope that's helpful and look forward to hearing from other that've found potent combos.
Mini Info and LauncherPro
I use Mini Info's volume control as a swipe gesture on a dock icon, works pretty nice

My current favorite widget locker and make your own clock (in beta in this forum)
Launcher Pro (again) and LCD Density (or a manual edit of build.prop)
I have Launcher Pro to have 6x6 icons and that's too many to see the icon labels. With the density lowered (200 in my case) you can see them, which is nice
Launcher Pro + Multipicture Live Wallpaper

Tasker goes well with pretty much anything.
But with Tasker + Minimalistic Text you can have all sorts of custom info on your screen.
Keepassdroid and Dropbox for the sync.

Everyone doesnt like Touchwiz bcoz of its functionality especially pre-Htc Sense users like me,so it would be helpful to know what alternatives you are using and also their compatibility with the Note as of now.
Currently I have replaced the dialer and contacts with Go contacts ex,using MX video player for music...etc

cant agree more
LP is great and all but the dev team hasn't updated in ages and some of the notification doesn't work (ie gmail)
LP+ is indeed great, but I have now switched to ADW because LP+ just seems to have no ongoing support and doesn't really offer anything that you can't get with Go Launcher or ADW (in fact it now offers less than each of those launchers).
In terms of replacement apps:
I prefer Opera to stock - proper text reflow on pinch zooming plus better tabs management
Dice Player is easily the best video player available for the Note.
Been using Go launcher,I can say till now for me its the most lag free with best widgets support,especially the new Message widget...it luks awesome.

I use google now launcher, Only issue is sometimes after a reboot the colour OS launcher kicks in as default.
Make sure you go into app management and default apps and select your preffered launcher as default. IMO, it's actually a better way to do it than other phones where you just start the launcher and wait for the OS to ask which one is to be default.
I also use Smart Launcher Pro on both my phones, and my wife's. I regularly try different launchers but always come back to SL Pro. It's elegantly simple but hiding some pretty good customisation tweaks and that app drawer is the best I've ever seen.

I installed Ubuntu theme as that is how to get the nicer icons in the app drawer tabs.

In my Find 7 I also have the MIUI Icon pack applied to homescreen and app grid.

For a nice clock I have Digital Clock Widget Xperia.

Set a nice wallpaper (I have a bright Lollipop one).
The phone looks stylish and well integrated with theming, like it came that way from Oppo.
If you must use the ColorOS launcher, you can install an app drawer app from Google Play instead of having to sort through pages of homescreens with a bunch of icons and folders.
I have this one in my oppo Find 7 for the rare times when I use the ColorOS launcher.

Hey guys, I am still on EUI Laucher, but i wana change. Have you tryed Google PIXEL Launcher, there is no official support, but you can downloand apk. ANy tips od experinece?
I am using stock launcher I do not see anything bad with it, personally I do not like the app drawer , however before using stock launcher, I used to use next 3d lsuncher, and google now launcher which was really smooth, I did like it.
The stock launcher is fine but I use Go Launcher mainly to eliminate the live button.
I have tried Pixel Launcher and its nice.
But my preferred Launcher is NOVA because it have many useful customisation and drawer tab support.

Google Pixel launcher
I have been using SquareHome forever now. Before that Lightning Launcher. Both very customisable, SquareHome is Windows 10 style with tiles rather than icons.
I like that a lot - Notifications on the tile, live tiles, great overview, easy on resources.
I am on 21S and currently using the Pixel launcher. I'd prefer to use Nova launcher because it can mimic Pixel launcher and has the added advantage of nougat-like long press functions and you can use a Pixel icon pack to get all round icons. But I find that Nova launcher has issues with the multitasking selection cards on this phone - it won't show a card for the homescreen like it does on other launchers, so you can't close the last open app/page. Anyone else found this? It also has weird scaling compared to other launchers - at 100% all the icons are much too small. To get them at what I'd consider a normal size you need to set them at about 125-130%.

In the ROM section.
Trebuchet or CM standard
I got tons of Android devices and I'd go crazy if each and every one was different. So I not only try to use a stock Cynogenmod launcher but also make sure that applications are in the same place across devices.
I'm even using Trebuchet on my Note 3, which uses a hybrid Note 3/Note 7 TouchWiz ROM somebody put together to offer Marshmallow features on the Note 3, which has long since been abandoned by Samsung.
Not only is Trebuchet available on all devices, it also has the minimal amount of "Google" in it.
I value my privacy far more than Google's "added value". So no "Google now", no Google search on the phone, nano GAPPS. Essentially I just want the Play Store, nothing else from Google.
Too bad they are not satisfied with that...
The best is nova launcher, fast and very recomendable

Minimal colours icon pack app
It is surprising to see the app title having minimal as you will find a lot of colourful icons inside the app. The color palette used in this app, you will not find them easily in any other icon pack app. The combination of the colors and design give all of them a unique look.
The app itself has been designed in a unique manner and the user interface is so simple that you won't find hard to use it at all. The app interface has been organized into tabs which is quite helpful with satisfying our needs. You can choose a dark or light background for the app itself according to your mood.
We should definitely talk about the shape of the icons. Yes. They are all in circular shapes which many of us would find attractive. They are of pixel style. And we have icons for almost all the commonly used apps and system apps like Video apps, Music apps, Chat apps, Shopping apps, MS office apps, Browser apps etc. The icons for all Google apps are quite innovative and pleasing.
So how to use these icons? Well. We have a large of launchers among which most of them would already be there in our smartphones. We have almost all the commonly used launchers like ADW, Action, Apex, Aviate, Go, Nova, Smart, Solo launcher and we can expect to get many more launchers added in the future. The app has the usual options like Search, Feedback etc.
The app also has a wallpaper sections which contains really unique and creative wallpapers you probably haven't got to use so far. Try it and you will be surprised for sure.
Ok all fine. Is it going to be getting still better? Yes. We can see frequent updates for the app which is creative and useful for us and we can hope for the same commitment from the developer in the long term.
