Description

**We're working on updating Awesome Icons for Android 8.0**

Awesome Icons lets you customize your home screen icons with icon packs and your own pictures. It works with most launchers and does not require root.

Download icon packs from the Play store and mix icons freely from any of them. You can also use your own pictures from the gallery or the camera to create your own icons. With Awesome Icons, you choose the style of each home screen icon individually.

Creating customized icons is easy: find the application and the icon pack you want, and create your new home screen icon with a single tap. You can also customize the label of the application or remove it completely.

You can use the app to personalize your icons with any launcher, including the stock Android launcher and the Google Now launcher.

Try these:
- Draw your own icons on paper and use the camera.
- Create icons with empty labels for a minimalistic look.
- Use a different style on each home screen page.

Features:
- Create customized icons for any application on your phone or tablet
- Pick any image from the gallery to use as an icon.
- Take pictures with the camera to create your own icons.
- Use icons from any icon pack installed from the Play store.
- Full access to all icons from all icon packs: use any icon for any app.
- Customize the label for your icons or remove it completely.
- No third party launcher or root is required.
- No impact on performance or battery life
- Works on any phone or tablet.

Please note that this app only changes home screen icons, not icons in the app drawer of your launcher.

If you have any suggestions or questions, or find an unsupported icon pack, please let us know at apps@momocode.com.

Absolutely Awesome! I loaded a theme on ny Note 7 and decided I didn't like the icons. Nothing I tried would let me get back to the default icons. I paid for one icon app that was very hard to figure out and limited. This app is free, but I barely notice the ads. They aren't obnoxious like on some apps. This app lets you choose from your photos, take a picture with the camera, leave some the way they are while changing others, and even has a theme you can choose to use for some apps but not others. I'm blown away!

Tempest Plott

Exactly what I needed. I didn't want to deal with launchers and whole theme changes; I just wanted to get rid of the hideous and gigantic android default icons. I appreciate that you can choose any style for any icon but I wish there was a quick way to make all the icons one style (if applicable.) In other words, set a new default style. Solid app though. Compatible with every icon pack I've been interested in.

Customize launchers Helps customize icons on launchers like the Google stock or even Touchwiz launcher. Only minor gripe is sometimes hard to get at parts of icon packs (seems to only make part of them available). Must have for customizing Pixel or Google Now launcher though.

It's really good for ppl wanna use the original launcher. But I would be much more better if there's a search function by names of icons or base color tune or some what. It would make it much easier to find out other opportunities for ppl who wanna customize their icons. Thanks alot

David Moodley

Very good, some small fixes needed Absolutely great, works with any launcher. There's only a few small issues, 1. There no search function anywhere to find the icon you want. 2. Not all of the icons are visible when manually selecting under icon packs, not sure why, possibly a glitch.

Mark Wolf

Awesome app! But one issue.. When I create an icon to replace my Phone icon on my HTC M8 the new icon gets confused and only opens my contacts list while I'm on a phone call. For some reason the only way yo get to the current call screen I have to use the original Phone icon. Any ideas how to get the new Phone icon to replicate the original in total function? Would be easily a 5 star app without this issue.

Edit: Ticking "Protect Icon" fixes it! 5 Stars! Original review: Phone icon simply won't change. I have no clue why, but whether I use a picture or an icon pack, the phone icon will simply not change. And when everything else is lovely and uniform but that one rather important thing isn't, it really annoys the heck out of you. :(

Zamir Yusof February 24, 2017

I love this app but recently it can make my System UI and Home looping forced closed until I restart the phone. I noticed when any app updated and icon revert to default, after restarting the phone following the system force close the icon will be changed back to icon that I set.

Zack Browning November 22, 2016

A must have!!!! Really easy to navigate and compatible with a lot of icon apps out there. You can rename your app anything you want. If you don't like the default icon chosen for you, manually scroll thru and choose which one pleases you.

Karo Rshtuni September 20, 2016

Great app Love this app love that is has dark mode. Only issue is due to other apps. I love to remove app titles so all I have is icons on my home screen, no messy tiny text littering everything for no good reason. Now my problem is after an app updates it reverts the title and sometimes even the icon. Which means I need to play this game of guess which app needs its icon renewed everyday. I want to set it and forget it.

Omar Morales Luna May 2, 2017

Amazing App. I gave it 4 stars because I think it should take advantage of Android 7.1 shortcut options when you long press. I like to long press my apps and have the little options pop up for each app. Hopefully in the next few updates. Other than that this app is amazing!

Joel Zimmerman December 8, 2016

This would have been perfect, but... I hate apps that auto refresh whenever you rotate the phone! Whatever is showing on the screen should remain there, whether the phone is rotated or not. That is so annoying to me!

Nick Likar July 1, 2016

Awesome I'm always cycling through different themes trying to find a home screen/icon look that I like for more than a few days. With this app I've got endless choices and can build exactly what I want, and can do so without rooting. Love it! (Beware, you can customize your own icon from pics on your phone and it can be VERY addicting)

Luke Mele December 4, 2016

Great Program But Needs More Works great but breaks App Shortcuts in Google's stock launcher on Android 7.1 and 7.1.1 when you change the icon of a Google app. I give it four stars for now. Maybe an update and some additional tweaks would make this a Five start app and I would be happy to change my rating.

Anthony Cerruti January 11, 2017

I don't see this as a bug which is why I rate 3 It only shows the main icons and not the alts. I want to have a green switch on a gear for my settings icon and not the normal "blue circles" on the gear.

Ron G. October 16, 2016

I would give this 10 stars if that was an option. I put this on my tablet which I've kept "stock." Everything about this app is a positive!! You can mix & match icons from different packs or even use a pic as an icon. The only drawback (if you can even call it that) is that you can't change the size of the icon. But I can get used to that. It's easy to use right "out of the ☐" doesn't take up a lot of space".. & best of all no root required. Thank you for your hard work. I'll be purchasing the "pro" version so hopefully you can use the 💵 that everyone gives, to put some more features on this app. Who knows maybe even a feature to increase the size of the icons?!?! 😂

Momo apps October 18, 2016

Hello Ron! Unfortunately shortcut’s size on the home screen is decided by the launcher alone. However, there’s a (little known) option to use a widget to create a shortcut, only now the widget is not resizable. I’ll look into improving the widget in the next update as it’s a great idea to be able to make big icons if you want. Cheers! – Simo

August 25, 2016

Excellent for enhancing the look of my Xperia Home screen! Only issue I've had is when choosing neon icons as can be difficult to see on the app's white background - perhaps include a dark theme?

Glenn Mraz June 20, 2016

Great way to change and customize icons to new android version, works with just about all icon packs, or create your own custom icons with out running a data eating, ram killing launcher app. Great customer service, had a issue received a reply answer back.

Momo apps June 20, 2016

Hello! Thanks for the feedback. I can’t imagine what could had affected the display of launcher’s notifications on icons in the last version but I’ll certainly look into it. Could you have used the ‘protect icon’ option when creating the icon? It doesn’t work if that is enabled.

Jenifer Drieman February 21, 2017

I think the idea of the app is awesome, however there would needs to be more directions. Or a trouble shooting list. My htc10 says the shortcut is created, but I can't find it anywhere. Would give more stars if it actually worked for me. Figured it out! Had to get rid current theme. I feel stupid. Great app!!!

Calvin Page July 7, 2017

I just use this to revert icons to older ones when apps get updates and change their icon to something uglier. Works as advertised, had no trouble at all.

Veronica S December 3, 2016

Doesn't Work And If So How?! I bought an icon pack which I can't use because I don't want to switch launchers. Thought this was the perfect solution. Well l have no idea how to apply icons. There are no instructions anywhere and the best I can tell you have to assign app icons one by one. Well who has time for that? And even assigning them one by one didn't work

dan allen September 17, 2017

I just love this app. . I was looking for something to help me change my stupid looking icons and found this. .. it really works as they say. . I was able to change my icons to vintage pictures as my icons. ... for instance I found a picture of a old camera and used it as my camera icon. .. now how cool is that. .. Best app I ever found. ..thanks

Scott Washington August 4, 2016

Good for what it does. Creates a shortcut for an app, and puts it on the home screen. If you've got an icon saved, you can change it to that. The app doesn't provide icons. But that's fine. My only minor complaint is that it doesn't actually change the apps icon, it just creates a shortcut with a custom icon.

Anyssa Ball May 27, 2017

This was the only app that I could find that changes so icons without having to get a different launcher. It works well and does what I want it to. The only complaint I have is that it can be difficult to find an icon if I want to use an alternate version. If a search bar was added it would be great.

Rodrigo Campos January 27, 2017

This is app is nice. However has a glitch that should be fixed. I'm using some icons from an icon pack. The problem is that the icons don't get badge notification in general (the little number in a circle saying how many unread items there are). Sometimes they appear for some apps, but even if I read them, they don't go away. Pretty much a mess with this. If this is fixed then it would be a great app.

Chris benoit July 12, 2017

This is exactly what I was looking for! A nice app that just lets you change the icons of apps to whatever you want. And compatible with Pngs. Love it. Only problem is the circle notifications that appear on the icons don't work with the custom shortcut. This is very annoying.

Steve Z September 29, 2016

It's... Awesome simply pulls up a list of all your Apps, select the one you want to change, tap the name to edit or the icon to swap out, and badda-bing badda-BOOM new shortcut appears on the home page!

J Peg June 18, 2016

It's pretty cool, but... Some of the apps I have installed don't show up in this app, and thus, does not give me the option to change the icon. Is this a known issue?

Momo apps June 20, 2016

Hello there. This is not a known issue. It would be great if you could get in touch at apps@momocode.com and tell us a little more about the app that doesn’t work.

Keith Midtown July 17, 2016

The Best App Ever! Been using this app for over 2 years now, and it would be even better, if the developer would add a few additional premium features, and design and develop a pro paid version, with a backup custom icons backup & restore feature, etc. and a few more premium features, like a favorites custom icons app drawer, that you could just drag 'n drop all the best icons, from all the best icon packs & keep a favorites icon collection, and slightly update the professional user interface that the developer designed!!

Cayden Tan January 28, 2017

Best feature is able to select from different icon pack in a organize manner. Other icon changer app like Icon Changer and Desktop Visualizer mixed up all the icon in one place. Good work!

Ryan Kerr December 6, 2016

Really good. Missing something I'd we had the hold down/pop up menu like 7.1.1 nougat then this would be perfect! I know it's new but something to consider😋

Orlando Ferreras July 2, 2017

I bought the Retorika icon pack, but it's not compatible with my LG Home launch. So you've simply saved my life! (well, just my LG Home interface 😅) Now I've could customize all of my icon apps. 5/5 👍👌✌️☝️👏

Bridget Cheatham September 10, 2017

Just what I was looking for! My S8 is the first phone that I haven't used a custom launcher on. I actually like it as is! But, I did miss the uniform look of my icon packs...this saves the day!

Alycia Hinrichsen September 16, 2017

Loved it for the first few months, until it suddenly stopped working. My pixel launcher is now "unsupported" after the Oreo update. Very disappointed, would like to see this fixed in the next update

Amber Burkland May 7, 2017

I love this concept. However I'd love if it had the ability to show unread/notification badges. Please let me know if the that's coming up or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

Paul Thomas October 1, 2016

BEWARE! BROKEN!! Dreadful piece of programming. Shouldn't be allowed on Play Store (Google take note). Doesn't work with standard Samsung Touchwiz launcher, used by millions. Completely wrecked my phone by replacing every icon and app title with the Awesome Icons name and icon (wish I could post a screenshot so you could see)! Still no fix from dev. Avoid if you want to keep your hair.

Momo apps March 4, 2016

Unfortunately some launchers reset shortcut icons when an application is updated, which causes this issue if you have used the "protect icon" option together with such a launcher. We're sorry about the inconvenience, but we still wanted to offer this option for other launchers. Please avoid using the protect icon option unless absolutely necessary.

Ian Palmer June 12, 2017

I have a few apps with similar icons, and I ALWAYS open the wrong one. This app fixes that, and, as best I can tell, doesn't use up memory or battery running in the background.

Aaron Clark May 12, 2017

I've been having to use Nova Launcher instead of BlackBerry Launcher because I like using Chompsms but I can't stand the ugly app icon. I was able to make my own icon but wasn't able to get the notification Splat when I had a new message, anyways I stumbled across this app and to my surprise it's what I've been looking for, it's amazing!! I get to use my icon of choice and still get my notification splat. This app is the #1 app on Google Play period..

Annabomina Sujith June 19, 2016

Make it available for Google launcher I created icons from pictures in my gallery. But I can only use them easily when the launcher is One plus launcher. When I use Google launcher it has issues displaying. Please fix for using with Google launcher. I would like to submit my lovely screenshot.

Momo apps June 20, 2016

Hello! Did you switch the launcher at the top of the app before creating icons with the latest version? If the problem does not go away, please get in touch at apps@momocode.com with some details so we can figure out what the problem is.

Jonez EH73 August 30, 2016

Not the best. Worthwhile though. Would be much better if we could customize any icon on your home screen. Including websites you've made an app from. Would rate 5 stars if this was a feature.
