How to Customize Icon Shape & Size on Realme P3 (No Root Needed)

You can’t directly change the icon shape and size *universally* on a Realme P3 (or most Android phones) without root access. Android’s system-level icon handling is tightly controlled. What you *can* do is influence the *appearance* of icons through these methods:

* Using a Launcher: This is the most effective way. Launchers are apps that replace your phone’s default home screen interface. Many launchers offer extensive customization options for icon shapes, sizes, and packs. Popular choices include:

* Nova Launcher: Highly customizable, allowing you to change icon shapes (square, circular, etc.), sizes, and apply icon packs.
* Lawnchair Launcher: A lightweight and customizable launcher with similar options to Nova.
* Microsoft Launcher: Offers a good balance of customization and ease of use.
* Action Launcher: Known for its unique features and customization potential.

Download one of these launchers from the Google Play Store, set it as your default launcher, and explore its settings to adjust icon appearance. Many will let you use icon packs, which are collections of themed icons that often include different shapes and sizes.

* Using Icon Packs (with a compatible launcher): Icon packs are separate apps that provide alternative icon designs. They *only* work if you’re using a launcher that supports custom icon packs (like the ones listed above). Once you’ve chosen a launcher, search the Play Store for “icon packs” and find one with the shape and size you desire.

Limitations:

* System Icons: You might not be able to change the shape of *all* icons. Some system apps’ icons might remain unchanged, even with a custom launcher and icon pack.
* Inconsistent Sizing: While you can change the *overall* icon size, individual app icons might not perfectly scale to maintain consistent shapes.

In short, while you can’t directly change icon shapes and sizes system-wide without root, using a custom launcher and icon packs is the closest you’ll get to achieving the desired effect on your Realme P3. The level of customization varies depending on the launcher and icon pack you choose.
