As an Android user, compared with iPhone users, it can be customized to a higher degree. For example, desktop, icons, etc., as well as installing various beautification plug-ins, you can have fun. However, today's Android users have rarely bothered to do so. First, the UI of various mobile phone manufacturers is pretty good now, and everyone is too lazy to bother, The second is that the compatibility of mobile phone manufacturers with third-party desktop initiators is not particularly good, and they always feel uncomfortable to use. Huawei and Reno are more direct, and they directly prohibit the setting of third-party desktops. Although the road is rough, it still cannot erase the author's customized heart.

Statement: This article is for beginner users. If you are an old driver, you can get off.

Let's briefly talk about the idea. First, we can install a third-party desktop launcher, which is relatively simple. You can directly change the icon in the third-party desktop launcher. You can download the icon package first, and then apply the icon to it. If you can't install a third-party desktop launcher, it is relatively troublesome. You need to find the icon package of the corresponding model, Then it is imported to the mobile phone. The models are mainly Huawei and Glory (dog head warning).

After understanding the idea, it is very simple. First, install a third-party desktop launcher, which is strongly recommended by the author - Nova Launcher. Those who like customized desktops will not be unfamiliar with this old desktop launcher. Among the many desktop initiators in the past, only Nova Launcher can still impress people. In fact, the reason is very simple, The first is that the features are rich, the interface is beautiful, and it is suitable for various icon packages. The second is more important. It is still being updated, which is really valuable. From the download volume of Google Play and Ku'an, we can know how popular it is.

Nova Launcher There are a lot of things that can be set. No kidding, you can even set them all day long. The degree of customization is very high. For example, the grid of the desktop, the icon layout, the filling around the screen, and even the style and speed of transition animation can be set. Of course, if you don't want to bother with these things, you just want to change the icon, then you can keep these by default. In addition, Nova Launcher also has the Prime paid version. The price on Google Play is 4.99 $. Compared with the ordinary version, it has more gesture operations and unread count settings. The other functions are the same. If you just change an icon and set simple settings, the ordinary version is enough.

It is very easy to change icons with Nova Launcher. You just need to find your favorite icon package in Ku'an or Google Play, download it, and then set up an application in Nova Launcher. Here are some more attractive icon packages, Sorcery 、Oblatum、QriginalWish、iFlat+、PureIcon、MBE Style Wait a minute. If you like something, you can search it by yourself. You can also find more beautiful icons. This is where the fun lies.

When using Nova Launcher, you must remember to set the Nova Launcher as the main desktop, or return to the desktop or the mobile phone's own desktop. The method of setting different mobile phone brands is not very complicated, but basically find the default application option to modify it. Here, let's talk about vivo's (more steps). Open Settings>>Security and Privacy>>More Security Settings>>Change the system desktop, Turn on "Allow desktop change", turn off "Click home screen to lock system desktop", and then go to Nova Launcher settings to set Nova Launcher as the default launcher.

In terms of compatibility, Huawei, Glory and Reno cannot use third-party desktop launchers in the mobile phones tested by the author at present. They can be installed, but they cannot be set as the default desktop. However, Reno can be set with the adb command, but it is irreversible, and can only be restored after being flushed. Therefore, we will not introduce them here. If you are interested, you can search for them, For Huawei and Glory, if they want to change their icons, they can not only bring their own themes in the theme market, but also find Huawei specific icon packages on the Internet. The format is HWT. Here, the author demonstrates how to do it.

First, you can find your favorite icon package on the Internet. Note that the format must be hwt. No matter where you download it, you just need to move the downloaded file to: internal storage/Huawei/Themes (theme), and then go to Huawei's own theme market to apply it. This is a more traditional method.

Another method is relatively simple. It is to download an App of Themes for Huawei&Honor, see your favorite theme in the App, and then go to the theme app after downloading. This App has many icons that are not available in the theme market, so there will be more choices, but the author thinks there are not many high-quality ones, If you want to find something with better quality, you still need to take time to find it. Of course, there are some good themes in Huawei's own theme market.

Here are some icon packs that I think are more attractive. Pure (light rain version). This icon pack is licensed by Pure light rain icon, so it is good in aesthetics. After downloading in Ku'an, it can be used in theme applications; Another one is Meeye. At present, the way I know to install Meeye is to download the Huawei icon package of Meeye on the Internet, and then import it into the theme using the traditional method for application; The last one is the one in the theme market. The number of icons is quite complete, but the theme is charged, 6 yuan.

At the end, the author thinks that the greatest pleasure of using Android phones is to DIY, and turn the phones into the way they like. I'm tired of looking at the icons. Changing a set of icons feels like a new phone. They say that technology is based on changing icons. Maybe only the beautification party can understand this feeling, Here, we also want to thank icon designers and desktop launcher app programmers for their silent efforts, so that we beautification parties can have more fun in beautification and customization.
