The One UI software doesn’t have the ability to alter the design or shape of the app and function icons. It becomes a disappointing thing for Galaxy consumers, but we have a cool way so you can turn app icons from a big hidden directory to choose from.

How to activate hidden customizer

First, open the Good Lock app, followed by the Theme Park application (if you don’t have these apps already, download them from Galaxy Store). Do note that the installation of Good Lock is necessary to get access to Theme Park, so don’t waste time bypassing steps.

Theme Park is the only way to alter icon design on Samsung Galaxy devices. One UI doesn’t allow you to easily change the shape, style, or layout of app icons, but Good Lock makes it possible. Theme Park could bring you what you want, but, it doesn’t work perfectly on all apps.

How to apply iOS-shaped icons

To apply iOS-shaped icons on the One UI interface, open the Theme Park application from Apps Screen. Navigate to the Icon tab through the bottom bar and hit that interactive “+ Create New” button.

Apart from the ability to download Iconpack through Galaxy Themes, the interface allows you to create your own iconpack using Shape, Icon Color, Tray color, and Size functions.

The pre-selected shape is the original One UI icon shape, while the second is circular, which looks a lot similar to Google’s stock Android experience. For iOS-shaped icons, you have to select the “fourth” option, and voila!

The large icons preview interface will display nine app icons so you can customize further before applying finally. After customizing the Icon color, Tray color, and Size, you have to hit the “↓” Download icon and give a name.

Put the name as per your preference and tap OK. After short processing, you will be redirected to the page from where you began the customization journey where you should see your own created Iconpack.

Now, tap on the icon pack you just created to apply to your phone’s by-default settings. Finally, hit the “Apply” toggle and let the Theme Park do magic and turn the shape of the original One UI icons to iOS-inspired.

Enjoy!

A handful of stock One UI apps got reimagined icons with changes in design as well as painted in gradients from solid colors. We spotted changes in various stock app icons including Camera, Gallery, My Files, Phone, Messages, Settings, Calendar, and Calculator.

Let’s explore changes, specifically.

Samsung Camera

Compared to the One UI 4.1, the Samsung Camera app icon’s design is the same as the One UI 5.0 Beta, while it got elegant gradient color, from the solid Red.

Samsung Gallery

Samsung Gallery app features major changes in design with the One UI 5.0 version. While the colors of the leaves and background were White and Red in One UI 4.1, respectively, there are now swapped in the second One UI 5.0.

My Files

Similar to the changes applied in the Gallery app, the One UI 5.0 Beta swapped the element and background colors of the My Files app as well. One UI 4.1’s My Files app has a light Orange background with a White file icon, while the One UI 5.1’s My Files is just the opposite.

Samsung Phone

Compared to the Samsung Phone app icon we have in the One UI 4.1, the new One UI 5.0’s icon looks pretty beautiful with a new Green shade in gradient color fill.

Samsung Messages

In addition to gradient color, the Samsung Messages app’s chat bubble got circular corners, revamped from the rectangular bubble of One UI 4.1’s Messages app.

Settings

System Settings is one of the most used functions of any smartphone. For this app’s icon in One UI 5.0, Samsung applied a darker Gray color with the same gear size and design as the One UI 4.1.

Calendar

One UI 4.1’s Calendar app icon has another small element inside, which shows the latest date as per the phone’s Settings. It got major changes with One UI 5.0, as Samsung ditched that additional element, as part of increasing the size of the date font.

Calculator

Aside from applying gradient color, the One UI 5.0 and One UI 4.1’s Calculator app icon has no other changes.

What do you think about these new icons, should Samsung revamp the remaining stock app icons too? Don’t forget to share your thoughts with us through social media.

According to the tipster, the One UI 5.0 variant has “no changes in UI (user interface) design, icons, etc”, however, Samsung has slightly improved the animation, as reported earlier. The source even claimed that there’s no difference between the One UI 5 and One UI 4, at least, when it comes to the user interface.

Bad news, the current One UI 5.0 has no changes in UI design, icons, etc. The animation has changed slightly. Other than that, there is no difference with One UI 4. Maybe they have not been built yet and need to continue to observe.

If it’s going to be true, the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 upgrade will be a big disappointment for almost all Samsung consumers. Well, what’s the authenticity of this claim? Let me explain you. No doubt, IceUniverse is known as a trustworthy tipster, which has a solid tip record in the industry.

Ice might be talking about the initial build of the One UI 5 that might be under testing by Samsung insiders and the developers’ team. Last year, the company did major design changes with 3rd public Beta, therefore, there’s hope that it will happen with the One UI 5 as well.

One UI 5 Beta

It is reported that the South Korean tech giant will begin the Android 13-based One UI 5 Beta program in the third week of July 2022. The Galaxy S22 series devices will surely be the initial participants, while the company might expand it to more than 7 traditional markets thanks to the universal CSC for Europe.

Android 13

This year, the Android 13 OS is likely to be launched in the next two months, while Beta builds revealed that there are no major changes in the user interface and Google is focussing on improvements or earlier ones. Meanwhile, Samsung is likely to bring a re-imagined UI design with One UI 5 for the Galaxy devices.

Android 12

With the Android 12 operating system, Google made radical changes in the design, user interface and icons. At the same time, Samsung did limited yet remarkable modifications while crafting its Android 12-based One UI 4.0 software for Galaxy devices.
