iOS users breathing in relief. who needs to change their icon pack and all of those silly options? iOS looks great abd works great out of the box (unlike OneUI)
After making the app drawer minimalistic, I'd suggest making those folders backgrounds transparent. To do this, click on the folder and then click on the colored circle beside the folder label and then click on the multicolored circle, which will take you to the swatch. Below you'll find the opacity slider, which you need to drag to 0%, i.e extreme left. Done!
@llyonnel2847 if you have the normal folders (not the pop up ones), you can change the background colour of the folder to transparent. That change will stay after you make them pop-up. The actual pop-up itself can't be below 70% though
Finally, I was able to turn all icons to a monochromatic grey. Your tips really helped me reach that goal with as little effort and additional apps as possible.Thanks!
Switching to the S23 lineup soon & moving from the Nexus/Pixel lineup for the first time in AGES, this is going to be Super useful. A video worth the viewer's time again. Thanks a ton Sam. 👍🍻
@@Sparky-8618 ya, i made the switch at the launch itself in Mar 2023. my OG Pixel XL suddenly died one day during the Covid-19 lockdown (late 2020) & then my P3XL screen shattered on the very first day of 2023 (yeah, just my luck lol) so i had to make the move any way & the Pixel 6 & 7 didn't make much sense to me coz of faulty network chip, overheating issues, etc. i used to be the customer who would go for the latest nexus/pixel phones even with their flaws, h/w & s/w bugs, but with time started valuing the cost of ownership in a much better way, hence decided to go for a more "stable" device. s23 has had it's fair share of s/w bug or h/w limitations but still, is more stable & reliable in the core basics (calling & messaging), so am reasonably happy with the decision. things that i miss from the Pixels: Has to be the Camera & secondly, Pixel UI. an absolute fan of these two. Sam can't live with the Google search bar being permanently present on the homescreen, i luckily can. LOL. things that i don't like so much about the S23: Has to be the Camera. Videos are Great but Photos, not so much. i've never been "wowed" by any photo that i've taken with the S23 whereas with Pixels it used to be just like, "OMG, Wow" for almost all of them. their computational photography & HDR is next level. with a Pixel in hand, you always feel like taking a photo. with the S23 i've learnt to keep it in the pocket more often than take it out & shoot. sad. haha battery life is decent on this, i mean i already knew what i was getting into considering i liked smaller form factor phones more than bulky 6.7" & more screens. with the Pixels also I was more interested in the regular models & the "a" series coz of the form factor. One UI is good, Much better & cleaner than the TouchWiz poop that Samsung used to ship. it's not perfect but it's okay. not a fan of horizontal app drawers, way too much scrolling :(. the sound profile setting is always broken. keep the phone on vibrate mode & randomly it'll go to ringing mode with sound after a notification from any app, just like that. quite annoying. i was SERIOUSLY considering going for Xiaomi or Vivo for their cameras but hate the kind & amount of bloatware that they ship with, even with their flagships. very sad. also their UIs are kind of childish if i may say, like something very young population might get attracted to, not refined or polished or classy like the Pixel UI or even One UI. no-nonsense kind of thing. also, adding to the not going for xiaomi - vivo phones thing, i don't trust their data sharing/privacy-security as much as i think we can trust google & samsung for in the Android space. i mean of course, they also "misuse" it for sure, but hopefully not as much as other brands would to monetize it or misuse it. i can go on. hahaha. cheers!
This was an incredible video, thank you Sam! The steps were incredibly easy to follow, and I love the level system. The aesthetics, transitions, and music were also phenomenal, but that goes without saying ❤
Sam, that was quite intensive in terms of customizing on One UI. This is one of the reasons I prefer using Nova 7 on all of my Samsung Galaxy phones. Using gestures hasn't been that much of an issue for me. I appreciate you for doing this video on customizing in One UI. 👍🏿
I do most of this stuff. It's honestly the best option to keep the stock launcher and don't waste as many resources running another one. Only thing missing for me is the option to hide the Dock.
There are still a few things that keeps me going back to Nova Launcher. 1. Infinity scroll. 2. Custom icons for folders. 3. Resizable premade widgets. If OneUI in the next iteration gets these, I'm there. I've favorited this for later use, and to play aroundwith later.
If good lock isn't available in your region, you could download and install the modules as apps individually. Lots of tutorials on that online, i've tried it, works perfectly
Congratulations Sam. Beyond the content wich is excellent, the presentation is stunning! Every take is better than the other. So good filmed. Beautiful camera moves! How do you get this insane circular travellings?
Hey, amazing video as always. Just a point I want to put out, we could also manually change missed icons from theme park as well. After we click "icons" at the choose icons and shape screen. In the menu on top right, there would be an option "change icons". Thanks
This is the kind of video no one else makes because they think no one will sit through 20 minutes of meticulous Android customization instructions. Wrong.
Yaa its a bit complicated....but whenever i am done with this world and wanna escape which happens often....now l knw what i am gonna do tht day....thnks🙌
I have been using Nova Launcher since 2016 & I think a lot of flexibility was provided by them as well. Will try the UI changes from your video on my newly arrived S23 today.
Creating themes using theme Park is also really handy to restore your theme settings. For example, I have chosen 10 lock screen wallpapers, so that every time I lock and unlock my phone, a different image.will be shown. Now I want to change my wallpaper but I don't know if I'll keep it. I can now save my current config using theme Park and if I don't like the new wallpaper, I just restore to the old one.
This was a great video. I am trying to work with oneui on my s22 since novalauncher sold and it's been a bit frustrating. This helped a lot ty! I'm going to see if you have other videos on customizing desktop folders 😊 I should note that i was unable to download Icon Pack Mixer due to it being for an older version.
I love the look on minute 14:23 and minute 14:30 Anyone know how to make that kind of look? I try to search on Google but I cant find similar to that look. Kindly help!
I started using third party launchers again thanks to the app "One Hand Operation +" by Samsung. I just configure the gesture to home or the recent apps and I'm good to go.
Thanks for the amazing work! I've been following the video and noticed the icon pack mixer app isn't available for me on the play store - as such I'm unable to mix both the delta and drops icon packs to one apk file. Is there a resolution for this at all? Thanks
Only reason I use Nova Launcher is becahse it has a feature for folders that is "Swipe Up to Open" So that you can click and it will open an app but if you swipe up on that folder, it will open the folder.
Awesome! Thanks so much ;) Just a quick question: KWGT offers a paid version, if I select a KWGT pack from a third party, will I have to pay that pack in addition or does the KWGT Pro price includes packs from other developers?
Great video Sam! 2:31 isn't it better to disable or even remove these apps completely from the phone rather than just hiding them? Is it an idea to make a video about unbloating One UI (even if root is required) how to do it and so on?

I have a question. I want to create an icon pack with icons created by my.

I'm trying to find how to do that and I can't find any infomation on Google.... Any info or tips? Thanks!
...and then LVL 6....KLWP. Once you go KLWP, you never go back. KLWP or known as Kustom Live Wallpaper allows you to customize the whole homescreen, apps, widgets, etc. all in one app without the need for all these extra apps nor a custom launcher. I honestly stopped downloading icon packs and third party launchers after I discovered this app.
Installed Drops icon pack via APKPURE but when I try to open it, licence check fails because not Installed via Play Store. Could you please provide link to download from Play Store?
Question ~ I have all of these BUT my phone (Note 9) is stuck on UI 2.5, Android 10, so my Good Lock doesn't have the options yours does in Theme Park module, such as Icons. I REALLY want it. I'm considering flashing and rooting my phone if it's my last option so I can upgrade my Android & UI versions, but I've never done it before. I'm ok at tech stuff and I can follow tutorials but I'm pretty nervous of bricking my device. My old workaround was to use the Universal IPS Exporter in Icon Pack Studio but the Google Play Store reneged on their "it's okay to sideload apps from other sites" decision, because they're greedy capitalists, so Smart Launcher disabled it. Oh, decions. 😄
