Did you know one of the best things about owning an Android phone is the amount of customization that it offers? With that being said, lets discuss some of the best apps that will take your Android customization to the next level.
Music Live Wallpaper
If you are someone who loves listening to music on your smartphone, then this app is made for you. What it does is it allows you to put the album cover of your favorite music as your home screen wallpaper. This app seamlessly syncs with your music player, adapting to the rhythm of your playlist and transforms the album art into ever-changing backgrounds for your home screen. All you need to do is simply install the app from the Play Store. You can choose which music streaming apps you have installed on your phone, customize the wallpaper style, add different animations, enable the blur effect, and once you are done setting up the application, just click on the option that says "Set as Music Wallpaper." Now, whenever you play any music on your phone, the app turns your music album art into a new background for your home screen. It's a really unique application which is totally free on the Play Store. Definitely give this app a try.
DNA Launcher
Next up, we have got a brand new launcher that has recently launched on the Play Store and it's called DNA Launcher. It's a unique launcher that offers three different styles for your home screen. You can have this iOS-inspired home screen where you get some of your favorite applications along with a dock at the bottom of your screen, and by swiping right, you get access to the app library just like iOS 17. Here we have all the applications that are neatly organized in different folders.
Now, let's say you don't like this iOS-inspired look on your phone and you really want to try something clean and minimal. Then just head over to the launcher settings, click on "Launcher Style," and choose "Minimalism." This will completely change the layout of your home screen and you'll have something that looks kind of minimalistic and one-handed friendly. This way, you can quickly navigate through all your applications. Apart from this, we also get this holographic style as well. So these are three different styles and you can choose whichever you like for your home screen. Overall, I think it's a really good launcher that offers so many customization features and for the price of free, I would highly recommend you to give this launcher a try.
Android 14 KWGT
With Android 14, Google has added some beautiful-looking widgets, and even if you don't own a Pixel smartphone, you can install this amazing pack called Android 14 KWGT. This pack comes with more than 60 Android 14 inspired widgets and all these change the color automatically depending on your current wallpaper. These widgets are heavily inspired by the Material Design language, and if you really want to get that Pixel look on your smartphone no matter whether you’ve got a Pixel device or not, then I think it's a must-have widget pack for you. Unfortunately, it's not a free widget pack; it is paid.
Jolt
Jolt is a caller screen customization app that provides you with all kinds of different themes that you can set as your caller ID. Trust me, all these look great when you receive calls on your phone. All you have to do is simply install the app from the Play Store and set it as your default phone application. Once done, simply open the app and here you can choose different styles for your caller screen. You can customize and make your caller screen look like Samsung's One UI, Google Pixel, or even get an iOS-inspired caller screen for your phone. Not only this, you can also change the layout, customize the call buttons, add different backgrounds for different contacts, and the best part is it even lets you add video backgrounds for a specific contact. All in all, I think it's a great app that will completely change the look of your phone's boring caller screen.
Notcha Launcher
This is a super simple app that lets you increase the functionality of your phone's notch. You just need to tap on the camera cutout and it shows the list of your favorite apps which you can access from anywhere on your phone. You simply need to select all the apps that you want to add to your phone's notch, and you can also customize the app appearance and behavior of the notch to suit your preferences. Overall, it's a pretty useful app that can transform this punch hole into a useful feature. It definitely makes your device more efficient and improves the multitasking experience on your smartphone. So if you really want to make better use of your phone's camera cutout, then be sure to check this one out.
Volume Control Styles
This is an application that lets you customize the way your volume panel looks. When you open up the app, you have got a lot of options to choose from. You can select everything from One UI to MIUI to Pixel-inspired volume panel if you want. All of them are fully functional; they expand to show different types of volume knobs that you can control. Not only can you add different skins, but you can also change the position of your volume panel, adjust the time on screen, add more functions to the volume slider, and do a lot more. All in all, it's a pretty cool application that can mimic any smartphone's volume panel no matter which phone you're currently using. It is totally free on the Play Store, so definitely give this app a try.
Keys Cafe
Samsung users have a good module called Keys Cafe by which they can customize and add some really cool effects to their Samsung keyboard. Now, even if you don't have a Samsung phone but you still want to try something similar on your Android device, then you can install this app from the Play Store and it is completely free to download. Once done, the first thing you need to do is simply change your default keyboard by going into your phone settings. Here you can customize and add different themes, apply some really nice effects which I think look really cool when you are typing anything on your keyboard. Not only this, you can also change the layout of your keyboard, add some functional buttons, change the color, add different wallpapers in the background, and do a lot more. Overall, I think it's a really good application that changes the entire way you type on your smartphone.
Get Current Wallpaper
Finally, we have this super simple app that lets you save your current home screen and lock screen wallpaper inside your phone's gallery. There are times when you actually don’t remember from where you got your current wallpaper, and if someone asks to share that specific wallpaper, then it gets really hard to find. In such situations, you can install this app called Get Current Wallpaper. Once you open up the app, you can select whether you want to retrieve your home screen or lock screen wallpaper. Now your current wallpaper will be saved automatically to your phone's gallery. It's a very simple process, and the best part is all these wallpapers get saved without the loss of quality.
