Android Mods: Custom app icons! (All Launchers)

2015-07-25
hey what's going on guys a mark from sand from TechnoBuffalo and we know how much you guys love customizing your Android devices and we've done several videos showcasing different icon packs and launchers but today we have something really special for you guys when installing a third-party icon pack it's either All or Nothing there's really no way to mix and match the icons on your homescreen however there's a neat little trick to mix and match icons with any Android launcher even Google's own Google now launcher the first thing you need to do is download awesome icons from the Google Play Store and it's free second thing we need to do is download custom icon packs now I personally like the moonshine Elune and Minn icon pack but you can download any icon pack of your choice from the Google Play Store when you first open up awesome icons you'll see all the apps you have installed on your device it also shows you what custom icon packs you have installed on your device and there's another tab with some recommendations to get you started you can use what it recommends but I'd rather just choose my own to add a custom app icon shortcut to your launcher just press any of the app icons on this screen and it'll create a shortcut with the icon of your choice here you'll be able to change the apps name or delete it and you also have the option for a protect icon which essentially forces an app to change its icon if it refuses to change once you press ok you'll see the new app icon appear automatically on your homescreen and this is basically the entire process while also my cons will allow you to add custom icons to your homescreen it takes a lot of time since you have to go through your icons one by one now another cool feature is the ability to pick any image from your gallery or take a new picture and set it as your own custom icon awesome icons will also allow you to mix and match any custom icon packs and allow you to use different styles on each home screen page so far we haven't noticed an impact on performance or battery life while using awesome icons and we've been using it for a few weeks now also my cons is completely free there are no paid versions or trials and it works with any launcher root isn't required either which is great if you guys want to check out some of the icon packs we've covered in the past you can check that out over here and if you guys want to try it awesome icons for yourselves check out the links in the description below anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give this video a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
