Awesome icons

When Your Android Home Screen Feels Like Everyone Else's

You have a phone that’s technically yours, but the icons all look identical to the ones on your friend’s device. The same generic shapes, the same default colors, the same boring text labels. That’s where Awesome icons steps in—a mobile customization tool that gives you direct, granular control over how your app icons appear and what text sits beneath them. Developed by Momo Apps, this utility focuses on one specific problem: making your Android launcher feel personal without requiring root access or complex launcher replacements.

The core mechanic is straightforward. Upon launching the app, you are immediately presented with a complete list of every application currently installed on your device. Each entry shows the current icon and its label. This is your starting point for editing. The interface is designed to minimize friction—you tap an app, and the editing options appear. There is no need to hunt through settings menus or watch tutorial videos. The app assumes you know what you want to change and provides the tools to do it instantly.

Beyond the default app list, a left-side dropdown menu reveals additional functionality. This menu is where you can access any pre-installed icon packs that are already on your device. If you have downloaded third-party icon packs from the Play Store or elsewhere, they will appear here. You can switch between them seamlessly, applying an entire pack’s style to your icons without editing each one manually. Furthermore, the app itself offers a selection of free icon packs that you can download directly with a single tap. No account creation, no payment gateways—just tap and install.

How the Icon Editing Works

The editing process is built around three distinct input methods. When you select an app to customize, the app presents you with these choices:

• Pick from gallery: You can select any image already saved on your device. This is useful if you have custom graphics, logos, or personal photos you want to use as an icon. The app will crop and resize the image to fit the standard icon grid.
• Capture a new photo: If you don’t have a suitable image on hand, you can open the camera directly from within the app. Snap a picture of anything—a texture, a color pattern, a handwritten note—and it becomes your icon. This is a unique feature for users who want truly bespoke visuals.
• Select from installed icon packs: If you prefer consistency, you can choose an icon from any icon pack already installed on your device. The app reads the pack’s library and displays all available alternatives for that specific app.

Additionally, the text label beneath each icon is fully editable. You can rename “Messages” to “SMS” or “Calculator” to “Math”—whatever makes sense for your mental model. This is a small but significant detail that many launcher customization tools overlook.

Key Features at a Glance

• No intrusive advertisements — The app runs without banner or interstitial ads during normal use. A “Turbo” mode is available that unlocks additional benefits and removes any remaining promotional elements.
• Direct access to free icon packs — Download and apply new icon sets without leaving the app. No redirects to the Play Store or external websites.
• Real-time preview — Changes are applied immediately. You do not need to restart the launcher or refresh the home screen to see the new icon.
• Batch editing support — You can select multiple apps at once and apply the same icon or label change to all of them, saving time when overhauling a full screen.

Why This App Stands Out

Most icon customization apps either require you to use a specific third-party launcher (like Nova or Apex) or force you to manually create shortcuts on your home screen. Awesome icons works directly with your existing Android launcher. It modifies the underlying app data so that the changes persist across reboots and launcher resets. This makes it particularly useful for users who want to combine multiple icon packs—mixing free packs with custom images—without dealing with compatibility issues.

The absence of ads during routine editing is a practical advantage. You can spend ten minutes fine-tuning a single folder of icons without being interrupted by video ads or pop-ups. The Turbo upgrade is optional and clearly labeled, but the core functionality remains fully usable without spending money.
