Have you ever personalized your Android phone before? If not, then it is the best article to read. By changing the icon on your android phone would give you that experience. You can do it possibly in several ways by installing a theme icon or another possible way.
But a Third-party launcher is the best to change the icon on your android set. This app spontaneously works for top brands like Oppo, Samsung, OnePlus, or any other brand.
I will show you a step-by-step formula on how to do it anyway.
First, how to change the icon by launcher?
A large share of android app launchers provides you the opportunity to change your smartphone apps icon. You can use Microsoft launcher, Action Launcher, Smart Launcher, Nova Launcher. Instructions remain almost the same for every app.
It could be easy if you install icon packs but you can also do it individually.
Go to the play store and install your preferred app launcher like Nova Launcher. Tap on the home button and select Nova for the new launcher. Wait for a minute.
How to change the individual app icon.
First, choose the desired app you want to use. Tap on it. You will see a popup menu where you would see the EDIT option and then select EDIT.Move on Icon and browse all options.
Select the desired icon and it would change on your app.
You can change it by selecting Gallery apps.It lets you select icons from your phone. Choose any picture and crop it. After moving OK it will set as your desired icon.
Another alternative option is to get more themes. You need to download extra icons that will show up there and you can select an individual icon from the pack.
By restoring the default app icon.
Restoring the app icons you need to follow the EDIT icon system again. This time select the icon under Common. It will lead you to the change you want to see.
Changing by App Icon
Why would you waste your time if it is easy to change an individual app icon at a time.
Downloading an icon pack will provide you such an opportunity. Usually, you can download an app icon from the play store which lets you change all of the themes for your phone.
Just go to the play store and search for it with icon packs. Countless examples will show. You can download free, for most of the cases. Choose what is appropriate according to your aesthetics.
How to change an icon with an app
If you would not like to install a new launcher no problem at all. You can install the app for changing your icon free of cost. Every smartphone from Samsung to OnePlus is supporting a new app to change your app icon. Just go to the app store. Search and select according to your choice.
After downloading it you may see on the phone that just remove the old one and you will see the change.
I can suggest you X Icon Changer which will replace your app icons with widgets. It works as shortcuts to those apps. This idea supports many devices that is why it is accepted by many users.
To apply a new icon, use the Tap to Edit Icon button (it will also show the current app icon). You will see a list of available options for customizing the icon on the next screen. You may see custom icon packs you have installed, and you can also use text, emojis, gallery images, and system icons.
Hope This Works,
PeterHere are the processes for applying a custom icon on the most popular launchers, and how to apply a custom icon even if your launcher doesn’t support custom icons itself. Long-press the shortcut you wish to change.
That is the great
Press and hold the app icon until a popup appears. Select “Edit”. The following popup window shows you the app icon as well as the application’s name (which you can also change here). To choose a different icon, tap on the app icon.
Regards,
Peter
