How to easily change app icons on Android with image and descriptions

If you do not like the default icons
that your Android apps have,
there are at least a couple of ways
to change them. We're not talking
about changing entire icon packs
here, but about individual app
icons that can be customized to
your heart's desire.



There are two ways to change individual app icons on
an Android device: by installing a custom launcher,
or - if you like your current launcher and don't want
to use another one - by installing an app that does
just that: changes icons. Let's check out the latter
method first, since it's the easiest, and won't
completely change the way your UI looks like.

A good application that enables you to change
individual app icons is rightfully called Icon Changer,
and can be downloaded from Google Play.
Once
you've installed Icon Changer on your Android
device, open it up, and you can start changing app
icons - either with other icons that are pre-installed,
or with custom ones made out of photos available in
your gallery. Icon Changer is free, but contains ads
(quite many of them). If you want an ad-free version
of the app, you can buy it for $1.99.

As for changing app icons using launchers, this
obviously requires you to first download and install a
launcher. While not every third-party launcher lets
you do this, many of the popular ones (including
Nova, Apex, or GO) will make it very easy for you to
change app icons. In the slideshow below, you'll see
how simple it is to change icons with Nova launcher.

Note that both methods mentioned above only
change the icons of app shortcuts that you can put on
the homescreen - so if you're looking in the app
drawer, apps will still have their original icons.


How to change app icons on Android

1. This is what you'll first see in Icon Changer - just
tap in the center to start changing icons.




2. After you tap, you have to select which app icon
you want to change. We've chosen Calculator.





3. You can not just change the icon, but also decorate
it - customize its size, color, edges, etc. But you'll
discover this for yourself.





4. Here you can see two changed icons, on the left
and right of the original Calculator icon.







5. With Nova launcher, when you want to change an


icon, you just long press on an app, and this pop-up
menu shows up. You'll then have to tap on Edit.





6. Next, tap on the original icon seen on the left.





7. You can choose a new icon from a pack, or you can
create one from the images in your gallery.






8. We've chosen to create an icon from an image
previously downloaded on our phone.





9. Here's the final result.
