The Android 15 QPR2 beta hints that Google will bring back icon shape customization, a feature it cut from Android 12.

    Give me back my goddamn customizable colors too!
    I hate this “material you” theme they’ve been forcing on us for a few years now.
    The pastel colors are washed out and unattractive.

      And then it’s me who thinks A12 was the best UI change that Android has had… But don’t mind me, I came from iOS something at that date, so I am kinda used to “simpler” UIs.

      I do agree you should be able to customize it yourself, AFAIK you can do so if you are rooted.

    The only reason companies remove features like this is so they can add them again a few years later and say “ooh look, new feature!”.

    They should just let us install icon packs, third party launchers are broken since A12 or A11 if you use full screen gestures (and I would not use android buttons even if I get paid for it lol).

    I have no idea what android version my phone has, but the option to change icon shapes has always been in the dev settings.
