Aycon (Icon & Shortcut Editor) 2.0

Aycon provides users with a versatile platform to create custom shortcuts for applications on their home screens, including standard shortcuts and app shortcuts that were recently introduced with Android 7.1. This tool is particularly beneficial for those who wish to enhance the visual aesthetics of their devices, allowing for a personalized experience that aligns with individual preferences. Users can easily replace the icons of their favorite applications if the existing designs do not complement their current wallpaper.

Main Use Cases:

• Create custom icons for favored apps and shortcuts
• Add app shortcuts (a feature from Android 7.1) to your home screen
• Maintain a tidy home screen by establishing icon-only shortcuts devoid of labels

Main Features:

• Ad-free experience
• User-friendly interface with quick functionality
• Contemporary material design aesthetic
• Supports a wide array of icon packs available on the Play Store
• Compatible with most available launchers

✔ Shortcuts to Launch Regular Apps

While many applications boast impressive functionality, their icons may not always meet aesthetic standards. Aycon allows users to select alternative icons from thousands of pre-existing icon packs found on the Play Store, enhancing visual appeal and coherence with personal styles.

✔ Shortcuts

The creation of shortcuts is often an underutilized feature within Android's suite of capabilities. Aycon addresses this by enabling direct call functionalities—users can create a shortcut for calling a contact and alter its icon according to personal preference, even utilizing images from their own collection.

✔ App Shortcuts

App shortcuts facilitate the initiation of specific actions within applications, such as accessing the 'create a new event' screen in calendar applications or starting a new activity tracking session within fitness apps. It is important to note that Aycon supports only static shortcuts; dynamic shortcuts are reserved strictly for launcher apps operating on Android 7.1.

✔ Round Icons

The introduction of Google Pixel has allowed developers to offer optional round icon variants for apps; however, not all apps implement this feature. Aycon permits users to select between regular and round icon variants, ensuring compatibility even for launchers predominantly favoring round icons.

✔ Custom Label

The application empowers users to assign custom labels for each shortcut created or opt for a blank label, enabling the design of an entirely icon-oriented home screen.

✔ Custom Icons

Aycon offers diverse options for icon selection, including regular and round icons, icons from installed packs, images stored on devices, or graphics sourced from other image applications. Additionally, app shortcuts provide options with or without an icon badge in either regular or round formats.
