Awesome icons

Awesome icons helps users who want a quick way to refresh shortcut looks without switching launchers. It creates home screen shortcuts with styles from installed icon packs or your own images, and it works on most Android phones and tablets. Because it only adds icons on the home screen, it does not change how apps run. Before you download Awesome icons, note that it focuses on visual customization for shortcuts.

Awesome icons Features

Create icons from packs, gallery, or camera

You can pick any image from the gallery or take a photo to use as an icon. Awesome icons also reads installed icon packs, so you can choose designs you already have. The Awesome icons APK provides the same tools across supported devices.

Simple setup for each shortcut

Find an app, pick a design, and create a new home screen icon with a single tap. You can edit the label text for the shortcut or remove the label for a cleaner look. This keeps each icon clear and easy to recognize.

Mix styles per app and per page

Awesome icons lets you choose a different style for each shortcut. You can mix icons from different packs and assign any icon to any app, so each home screen page can follow its own theme.

Works with most launchers, no root required

• Compatible with many phones and tablets using common launchers, including stock options.
• Does not require root or a special launcher.
• Changes only home screen icons, not icons in the app drawer.
• On Android 8.0 and newer, the system adds a small icon next to custom shortcuts that cannot be removed.

Get started with custom icons

Awesome icons focuses on quick, per app shortcut styling using icon packs or your images. Review the Android 8.0 note about the small system icon before creating shortcuts. Install the Awesome icons latest version to ensure compatibility with recent Android releases.
