Galaxy S7 Nougat Full Icons

Question

I wanted to ask how to change the app icon of my app on a Galaxy S7 running on Android Nougat (see attached screenshot) to fill the whole icon space. Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: I think it's because these apps have square icons and mine is circular. Is there a way to make it square for Galaxy S7 Nougat devices and for all others round?

Answer 1

You can disable this by adding a meta-data element to your manifest:

<application>
    <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.icon_container.has_icon_container" android:value="true"/>
</application>

This solution is only for user's end:

Go to settings -> display -> icon frames -> icon only. This should change the icons into full size icons.
