How can I get Sense to look like GPE?

See, I converted to GPE due to I love the way stock android looks over sense, but I came back to sense due to me liking the camera, h/k and blinkfeed. Does anyone know how to change all the status bar icons to AOSP icons and change the sense soft keys to AOSP's? Also the lock screen as well? I know it is asking a lot but I would appreciate it a ton. Thank you

Install InsertCoin and you can change the icon to AOSP in InsertCoin Kontrol and also change the lockscreen to stock. As for the navigation bar, there might be a theme in the InsertCoin market.

I want to get my status bar enabled but i don't know how to work that module in xposed. I have enabled xposed module and downloaded Xposed statusBar Sense. I downloaded the zip and applied it but nothing changed. I am running Viper Rom, could that have anything to do with it?

1. Download the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip icon pack and place XSBM folder on the root of your internal sd card.
2. Launch the Xposed StatusBar Mods module and select "Icon Settings"
3. Check the boxes beside Framework, 3rd-Party Apps, Battery, Etc.., all the way down.
4. Set the "Icon Scaling" to 70px
5. Select "Select Iconpack to Import" and then select the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip file you put in the XSBM folder.
6. Back out until you get the option to Apply Changes
Note: There was an issue on XSBM v2.3.2. I'm currently using v2.3.1

Thanks for trying the theme! hoping for feedbacks. By the way i used the zooper widget and lg g4 theme zooper for the weather widget.. cant create a thread cause it already has and im not allowed yet to post links. i think.. you can try to search it on google. there are many tutorials there...
Thanks man for letting me know abou the widget. The theme is good and speedy just missing some icons like battery and others but i know it is still in beta stage i would love if the theme has full features of LG UI. Thanks again
Issues I found
#1. The Navbar buttons are just too large. Well I didn't have this issue as I really like big buttons, but some have this issue.
#2. The buttons in landscape mode are screwed
Fix for landscape buttons: You can use the Navbar buttons png of normal mode and using Photoshop, just change the resolution of layer to 154x245 or 245x154 (not sure of pixel size just tear down some other people theme apks and check the resolution). I don't remember the exact pixel size Sorry! And Everything is Perfect.
Well I really like everything else. From colors to UI elements, everything is perfect :good:
Amazing Work Bro
Hi, nice work bro, really I think I have LG g4! But back key, in the typing mode, reverts back to stock navigation bar …
I wish sony remove it's graphical bugs from its UI which causes the navigation bar reverting back through some apps and status bar toggle editing…

the framework is for activate ambient display and rotation on all directions and porting just those features individually to each device i will take me anwhile
as for the xperia home took me an wgile on researches lol
depending which resolution you have
for example
you must edit:
values-sw360dp-v13 /dimension.xml /
<dimen name="icon_image_size">64.0dip</dimen>
(still you will need to decompile your framewok-res.apk and change that lines in same dimension.xml)
as for the apptray
<dimen name="stage_icon_image_size">64.0dip</dimen>
that line
recompile done

Try installing a 3rd party launcher like Lawnchair 2 or Nova Launcher. Nova in particular has settings for just about everything, even how icons look and if they can be adaptive or not. You can even change all of the icons' shapes.

I think you mean the navigation bar? Any theme will let you change the navigation bar. And there are quite a few custom navigation bar apps on xda labs.
If you don't like substratum, you can try Swift installer as well

In /system/priv-app you can delete the "quickstep" launcher, and replace it with the stock Launcher3 from Oreo. This will give you the ability to change the icon shapes, and give you back the older recents menu too.
Just make a folder in /system/priv-app named Launcher3 and set permissions on the folder to, 0755 or rwxr-xr-x. Then put the APK in the attachments into that folder, and set permissions for the app to, 0644 or rw-r--r--. Then delete the quickstep launcher and reboot.
Edit: This also works on GSIs too.

In /system/priv-app you can delete the "quickstep" launcher, and replace it with the stock Launcher3 from Oreo. This will give you the ability to change the icon shapes, and give you back the older recents menu too.
Just make a folder in /system/priv-app named Launcher3 and set permissions on the folder to, 0755 or rwxr-xr-x. Then put the APK in the attachments into that folder, and set permissions for the app to, 0644 or rw-r--r--. Then delete the quickstep launcher and reboot.
Edit: This also works on GSIs too.

but the icons are still round ... what I wanted was the old icon style without needing a custom launcher

Well, that's the stock launcher, so it isn't a custom launcher. And you can change the icons to whatever shape you want by long pressing the home screen.
