It\u2019s important to note these <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly aren\u2019t made by app developers or manufacturers, but rather a third party who will provide thousands of icons for different apps in a single pack. Some provide new styles, while others stay true to the original icons and just make slight adjustments in design or shape.<\/p>\n<p>While enabling these icons isn\u2019t supported by Android\u2019s stock launcher on most phones, they\u2019re incredibly easy to download. You\u2019ll find loads of different packs on the Google Play Store that are as simple to install as any other app. This makes it easy to browse the various packs available and find the one that appeals to you\u2014after all, this is entirely down to personal taste.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Use_Them\"><\/span>How Do You Use Them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/d611f47257125b3e9747316efc887c19\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/xf3ccdd27-1.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.R_hDT-x-fa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"TeslaCoil Software, Android Does Team\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">TeslaCoil Software, Android Does Team<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You\u2019re going to need to take different steps depending on your phone, as different Android launchers may or may not support icon packs in some capacity. For example, if you\u2019re using a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2Fanswer%2FANS00078997%2F&amp;key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482\">Samsung phone,<\/a> you can install certain icon packs found in the \u201cThemes\u201d menu, and the Oxygen launcher found on OnePlus phones should be compatible with most icon packs. In fact, that\u2019s something important to note\u2014some icon packs may not work with all Android launchers, even if the launchers themselves support custom icon packs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a Google Pixel phone, or any phone with a mostly stock version of Android, icon packs won\u2019t work out of the box. However, one of the great things about Android devices is it\u2019s simple to install alternative launchers from the Play Store. There are loads of launchers out there and many of them support custom icons, along with other useful features like added home screen customization and deeper app drawer settings.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want a simple launcher that stays true to stock Android but will enable you to use icon packs, we recommend either <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&amp;hl=en_US\">Nova Launcher<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher\">Apex Launcher<\/a>. Both of these are widely supported by icon pack creators and are great launchers all around. Nova Launcher keeps things extremely close to stock Android, while Apex Launcher makes some more tweaks for a cleaner overall style. Using icon packs in either of these launchers is as simple as installing the packs and then selecting them in the launcher\u2019s settings app.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Great_Packs_to_Start_with\"><\/span>Some Great Packs to Start with<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/44a59bbb99a532f578861d5b54d2cb90\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/x156005c5-1.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.BcGfgdsThn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Not Just Another Designer, Nate Wren Design, Benas Dzimidas\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Not Just Another Designer, Nate Wren Design, Benas Dzimidas<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now that you know what these packs are and how to use them, we would be remiss not to give you a few recommendations for packs to start with. While the icon pack you use will be down to your own personal taste, we picked a variety of high-quality packs, each with its own style.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.natewren.flightlite\">Flight<\/a><\/strong>: If you want something simple and minimalist, Flight is the pack for you. The bold white lines keep a consistent style between all the icons and simplify the look of your home screen. There\u2019s also the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.natewren.darkflight\">\u201cDark\u201d version<\/a> of the pack that switches out the white for black on all icons.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.jndapp.cartoon.crayon.iconpack\">Crayon<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>Stepping back into the world of color, the Crayon pack features cute and colorful icons. With soft edges and pastel colors, the designs all fit together well and the set of wallpapers included with the pack only further that.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=njad.aura.iconpack\">Aura<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>If you prefer a consistent style, Aura\u2019s got you covered. During the design process, this pack was limited to a specific color palette to make sure all the icons felt cohesive. That doesn\u2019t mean all the icons will bleed together though, this pack has plenty of tricks up its sleeve to ensure each icon is unique in some way.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=pixbit.prime\">PixBit<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>Reminicist of old (and new) school video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s, PixBit features pixelated versions of the icons you\u2019re already used to. If you\u2019re into pixel art, you\u2019ll certainly love this icon pack and the creative ways it tackles various icons with the limited art style.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.spaceman.verticonsfree\">Verticons<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>While the packs listed so far have been major departures from the original icons, Verticons tones things down a bit. All this pack does is take the standard app icons and shape them into vertical rectangles. It looks good, gives your home screen a unique look, and you won\u2019t have to relearn any icons.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.benx9.cactus\">Rondo<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>To finish off this list, we\u2019re going with a rather straightforward pack. Rondo takes every icon and turns them into simple colored circles with a logo and subtle shadow effect. It\u2019s about as to the point as an icon pack can be, but it does look nice and it\u2019s great if you\u2019re a fan of flashier icon packs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<p>If you\u2019re into customizing the visuals of your phone, an icon pack is just one more step you can take to make your phone feel unique. Whether you\u2019re after monochromatic consistency or colorful chaos, there\u2019s sure to be a pack out there for you\u2014even if it didn\u2019t get mentioned in this article. And considering most icon packs are free (or at the very least, have free versions), there\u2019s little risk to trying out all the ones you can get your hands on.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
