Does anyone know how to use the new icons too? Mine works but still old icons :(

The only icon pack I found was from youtube

But there will be weird white frames around some apps which look quite ****.

Works fine on my S7E with the latest 7.0 update, unrooted. I had to wipe the app data though because it would constantly crash.
Ok so like I said the launcher actually works great and the "new" (was available on kitkat) feature to hide apps is great. Unfortunately, I used it for a few hours and then uninstalled it. The problem is that the animations feel really laggy, much worse than the stock launcher of the S7E. I think it's worth trying but right now not good enough for daily use.

Also the apps icons will not be changed after installing the launcher, for that you need every new s8 app.

You need to wipe data if you get package error, after wipe it works fine.
But can I install other APK like Hello Bixby after wiping data. Will the conflicting signature problem solved after wiping data and will it allows to install other APK's of S8 other than the launcher like calculator,Bixby,etc...

Not sure about bixby, but launccher should be fine. U might not. For bixby, could you check my past messages, I uploaded a modified version which installs without package issues. Im On mobile :)

Dude I solved it...hurray
I'm done it on my non-rooted S7 edge
These are the steps I done
1. Add a shortcut of the apk to the home screen from the my files app
2.Power off the phone.
3. Cleared the cache partition.
4. Restarted the phone.
5. Quickly installed the Apk by accessing the shortcut from home screen.
(Now it's installed :eek:)
6. But the launcher keeps force stopping.
So I cleared touchwiz home's data and cache from app manager.
7. Now it's working fine.

I also installed Bixby app through the same process. :)
Hope this solution works for all those who face the conflicting signature problem.

Glad you sorted it out! I tried installing bixby that way but it didnt work :\
EDIT: It works! But you need to be REALLY quick, so I disabled sim lock and fingerprint temporarily!
I am adding your solution to OP by giving you credit, is that okay for you? :)

Dude first of all pls put a shortcut to install Bixby apk on ur home screen. So that u can access it as soon as the phone restarts. I think it's take some minutes for the system software to prevent installation of apps. So here we are taking advantage of that small time before the security blocking become turn on. So if we install before the security turn on after booting we can install all apps that way.
(Sorry for that grammer mistakes in english:D)
