Change App Icons Or Apk File Names On An Android Device

The great thing about Android devices is how easy you can customize or change the OS.  What’s not so easy to customize is the look of your OS. Making changes to the root of your OS is not really something that every OEM supports.

You can download and install themes to change the look of your interface and, there are a few apps that allow you to change individual elements of the interface.  For example, if you want to change the Icon of your Facebook app.
