Dope Homescreen tutorial/How to customize your Android Phone 2016

Yo what's up guys it's Raj from tech devoted and a lot of the Android phones we see today run heavily c-can't versions of android they don't look that great and don't offer a lot of customization but I am here to change that up in today's video I'm going to teach you how you can customize your phone with just a few apps now obviously customization is purely subjective some of you may like what I'm going to show you while others may totally hate it so keep that in mind and let's jump right into it again this is just the way I do it you may or may not like it ok so I'm now on my Android phone and as you can

See my Android phones home screen already looks pretty neat that's because I'm running stock Android but it still looks like it's missing something and it doesn't really look that unique it's the average home screen that every Jack and Tom has so I'm going to change that up so the first thing I do when I'm customizing my Android or when I got a new Android iddin want to customize it is add or use third-party launcher my personal favorite is the nova launcher you may ask why use a launcher well launchers offer a lot more customization but just go ahead and get one find one

Your find one on the Play Store get the one that suits you the best my personal favorite is the nova launcher so I'm going to run to my settings scroll down a little bit and choose home then I'm going to set in nova launcher as my default home so if you go back home there you can see things have changed a little bit and you're missing the clock widget that I saw so basically good and Noble launcher right now and not the default launcher this is also known as a trebuchet on mine so the next thing I want to do is show you some of the settings that this launcher has to offer

So I'm going to go to settings there and as you can see I can do a lot more things here I can change the number of apps like I want to have on my home screen the number of apps I want to have on my dock how many pages I want to have on my dock and I can also add images to my dark and so on and so forth basically I can do a lot of customization so I'm not going to take too much into depth but I'm going to go ahead and time lapse the next part basically what I'm going to do is get a icons layout from my home screen just going to add some icons and get a layout in organized

Stuff so I'm going to time lapse it and I hope you enjoy okay so I'm back and as you can see I've added a few things to my home screen but it still doesn't look that great I've also turned up icon labels because like I said I'm trying to get a minimal look so the next thing I'm going to do is go ahead and add a custom icon pack if you don't know what that is I recommend you to watch one of my older videos are leveling to that in the description I talked about what got it to me at least have five best icon back so you can also check out some of the

Icon packs there and you decide also anyone to get but for this video I'm going to use the main icon pack so to apply a custom icon pack I'm going to go to the settings again then go to look and feel and then select the icon theme is min so men is a minimal icon pack you may have already guessed by the name so let's go back home now and let's give it a second to refresh and boom as you can see the icons have changed and personally I like this look it's it's a simple white white color icon pack and it's just so tiny and just looks really minimal and clean in my opinion but

There's still something missing it still doesn't look that great so what I'm going to do next is get a wallpaper that matches the icon pack and mostly times icon packs come with wallpapers that match the icon so for this one I'm going to I'm going to go to the main icon pack and then look for a wallpaper or actually I already have a wallpaper I'm going to go to my gallery and I want to use this one as my wallpaper so I'm going to go to that and then do a side picture as and no wallpaper I actually got this from flight light wallpapers I believe if

You're wondering so yeah that's that and if we go back home things look a lot better now so the next thing I want to do or then that's also the last thing that I'm going to do is add a super veget you may have heard of idiots but super widget basically is an app that lets you make widgets you can do with just from scratch design them the way you want but for this video I'm going to go ahead and use a template so the super widget go to the Play Store and download it once you have it just go to settings again and go to widgets I'll scroll down until you see super widget and choose

Any one of these doesn't matter which one because you can resize them later on I'm going to go the two by two and do that I'm going to click create then I'm going to resize this by holding on that and resize and I'm going to do that so next I'm going to click on add to start and I'm going to go on built in to chill is a template provided by super widget itself I personally like this prop date which it looks really cool pretty minimal as well so I like that okay so yeah for now I'm going to leave it that way but we'll send that we okay this are happening because I

Have to scale things up a little bit but you get the idea so now as you can see my home screen looks a lot better I mean I like the way it looks right now it has a minimal look and the icon labels are turned off just everything looks so clean and minimal overall so that's basically how I customize my Android home screen how I get a dope look or however you want to call it give it a crazy name whatever you want to call it but again as I said personalization is purely subjective do it the way you want to I just thought I'd show you some of the apps I use to customize my Android
