[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Goat1378:
Check links below

So I was poking around the Note 8 forum and came across a few mods that are working on our devices without root. THESE ARE NOT MY APPS/MODS AND I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THE DEVELOPERS HARD WORK THAT WENT INTO THESE APPS. I just wanted to share. In the first link below we have the Substratum Theme Engine (Link below).This will let you theme things like drop down, Google Apps such as Google Now, Chrome, Instagram, Pandora, YouTube Google Play Store and more. Some themes work better then others at this time but hopefully in the future these themes will be fully working. The themed apps im using is from someone you may or may not know but has been here on xda for a number of years and has done some amazing work here and goes by the name of [MENTION=4930664]cerj[/MENTION] and the link to his theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cerj.bigblu

If you find yourself over there give him a thumbs up or something for his hard work.

The next mod/app is called Muviz (Link below). This is a customizable visual navbar equalizer and will work with Pandora YouTube and a bunch of different apps.

Another useful apps I've started using is BK Disabler. I've noticed that Package Disabler wasn't working for this device on launch day so found this alternative to help with getting rid of bloatware or unwanted carrier installed apps that maybe taking up useful space or eating your battery. (Link below)

Next up is one you may or may not know about. It's a app called Doze (Link below) We all know that data is one of the biggest power drain. If you keep your data on all the day, apps can run out of full battery even without using your phone. When screen is off, Doze prevents your apps from sending or receiving data without disabling your Wi-Fi or 2G/3G/4G data. In this way it adds more hours to standby time and makes significant difference to battery life.

So im not sure if Samsung did away with the notification pop up on our devices or it just doesn't work with Nova Launcher or maybe I'm missing something but my notification pop up is gone so I found a app called Heads up SMS Notifications (Link below). It does just that. Could be a better app out there and if so comment below and let everyone know.

........OCT 21, 2017....... UPDATE!

I found this over at the N8 thread and figured I'd bring it on over here. It's a app that allows you to add buttons to your navbar which I thought was pretty cool. Originally found here https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/app-custom-navigation-bar-add-t3671528 so give that guy a thumbs-up. You will need a computer to perform adb comments and you can find the download here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 and thank that fella. Custom Navigation Bar (Link Below)

Hope you enjoy as much as I do. If anyone has any cool apps and links to apps please leave in comments below if you like so that others may enjoy them as well.
