You need a dedicated app to customize your home screen in style! This is the definitive version of the dress-up app that has all the dress-up materials!
Did you know that Android allows you to customize your home screen not only with wallpaper, but also with icons and widgets?
With the widget function and app shortcuts, you can pin frequently viewed information such as weather, clock, and schedule on the home screen as a widget, and you can even change the icons to stylish app icon images!
In this article, I'll tell you how to change your home screen for Android recommended by me who has used more than 50 different apps to change your home screen!
In this article, I will explain the way to customize Android with the app called "WidgetClub”!
WidgetClub provides all-in-one home screen theme including widgets, icons, and wallpapers, so you can easily change your icons and widgets without the hassle of collecting materials!
All basic widgets such as weather information, calendar, date and clock are available on WidgetClub.
If you want to customize your home screen in a stylish way you like, we recommend using a dedicated home screen customization app rather than using the default widget. With a dedicated app, you can set your favorite photo as a background, change the font, and so on.
Some home apps don't allow you to set multiple widgets! (Be sure to change this if you are using OPPO!)
We recommend downloading popular home apps for greater customization flexibility. Also, the home app must be fixed from the beginning, otherwise if you change the home app to another app after setting the widget, the widget you set will disappear⚠️
Nova launcher" is the most popular home app for Android (over 10 million downloads.) (We also tested this)
It is possible to set the number of vertical and horizontal icons in the home app. Setting them from the start makes it easier to create the home screen the way you imagine it! You can set them from the Home App Settings! (If you don't know how to do this, try searching for "home app grid count change"!
(⚠️Depending on the home app you are using, the way you set up your widgets and icons may differ, but the basic flow is the same! ⚠️)
1. Download WidgetClub, a home screen customization app!
2. Open the WidgetClub app, Select the home screen theme (a set of home screen wallpaper, icons, and widgets) you wish to change, and tap “Set” button.
3. The first step is to set the widget. Tap the widget you wish to set on theme setting screen.
