As you know, the latest ZenUI Launchers disable 3rd party themes as well as separate icon packs. Now, only ZenUI themes can be applied. Even the icon packs are considered as themes now. But you already know that. You can just uninstall the update to Asus Launcher. But for some people like me, uninstall update option wasn't available. If you have ES File Explorer and a rooted device, that'll help. Search AsusSystemUI.apk in the root directory and copy it to elsewhere. Now, go to ES Explorer homepage and select apps section. Uninstall ZenUI Launcher. For some people, the launcher will immediately change to the inbuilt Asus Launcher that you copied. For others, the System UI will crash immediately. If that happens, all you can do is restart your device. Don't worry when you see a black background and no statusbar and notification panel. Just install the AsusSystemUI.apk that you copied from the root directory. It'll fix everything. If something is still missing, just restart your device. All done. You just restored your ability to fully modify your ZenUI.
