But sadly, downloading a launcher also means that you might have to give up many of the features of the One UI software skin. Luckily, there’s a way you can change app icon shapes on your Samsung phone without downloading a launcher. Read this quick guide to learn how.
How to Change App Icon Shapes on Samsung
In order to change app icon shapes on your Galaxy device without the use of a third-party launcher, you’re going to need the Samsung Good Lock customization app. Good Lock is not as well-known as some other Samsung apps, but it’s easily one of the best tools you can use to customize your Samsung phone.
Download Good Lock from the Galaxy Store and install the Theme Park module. In Theme Park, go to the Icon menu and tap CREATE NEW. Select the icon shape of your choice. You can also change the color and size of your app icons from the same menu. Tap Install (the downward arrow), give this theme a name, and tap OK. Your new theme is created; tap it and select Apply.
Feel free to experiment with different combinations of shape, color, and size to see which one does the best job at making your Samsung phone look more beautiful. With Theme Park, you can create multiple combinations and save them as themes. This allows you to quickly switch to a theme without having to customize your icons from scratch every time.
You can also apply icon packs to your Samsung phone without a launcher.
Customize Your Samsung Phone to Your Style
Good Lock is one of the best Samsung apps if you’re looking to customize your device and make it stand out. While most people are okay with the default squircle icons, you might have developed a particular liking for circular or teardrop icons.
With Good Lock, you can do all of this and more without downloading any third-party launchers that may not support all the features and widgets of Samsung’s One UI skin.
