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!
Changing only the app icons on Android can make your home screen look stylish. In fact, if you use a dedicated app for changing app icons, you can change the app icon to any image you like and even hide the app icon name! Customize your Android to your liking, making it even more stylish and convenient.
You can change your icons in a stylish way by following the method explained in this article!
Some home apps and devices may allow you to change settings without using an app, but most devices often cannot. So, in this tutorial, we'll thoroughly explain a simple method to change your icons to ultra-stylish ones using a dedicated icon-changing app✍️
To change the icons on the Android home screen, you will need to:
① Collect icon image materials
② Change the icons using a dedicated app
③ Hide the existing apps
With the "WidgetClub" app we're using this time, you can collect icon materials and change icons!
The author's recommendation after trying over 50 home screen customization related apps is WidgetClub! We'll be using this app, which has even won first place in the Google Play customization division!
First, decide on the icon image you want to place on your home screen. With WidgetClub, you can choose your favorite design from over 8,000 icons!
1. Open WidgetClub, tap the "Icon Sets" tab, and tap on the icon you like.
1. Tap the "Set" button on the app icon you selected earlier.
2. You'll be taken to the icon settings screen, where you'll set up the icon.
3. If the app has related settings, tap "Settings" at the bottom and choose "Square" in the style selection.
4. A popup will ask you to choose between “Square” style and “Round” Style.(We recommend “Square” style”)
5.Tap “Square” button > select the icon style > Tap “OK”
6.Tap “Add” button each time a popup appears.
5. Tap “Round” then tap “Add” button each time a popup appears.

As it is, the existing app icons will still be displayed, so you'll need to hide them.
1. On your home screen, long-press the app you want to hide.
2. Select "Remove" when the popup appears.
Do not choose "Uninstall"! ⚠️ Uninstalling will delete the app. We changed the app icon, but the app itself needs to remain installed as is.
For OPPO users: If you're using OPPO's Color OS home app (system launcher), you may not be able to hide apps by default. First, go to OPPO's "Settings" > "Home Screen & Lock Screen” > “Home Screen Mode”, then Switch to “Drawer mode”. Then, you can now hide your apps. Please long press the app you want to hide then tap “Delete”.( As for OPPO, “Delete” doesn’t mean “Uninstall”.)
