They just recently made a update that fixes that. I believe it was yesterday. I updated my phone and it looks great it doesn't reroute itself to the shortcut app.
This could be really fun but always having to launch the shortcut app first is a dealbreaker for me. I think it would drive me crazy every time I load an app
This is great! 😍 But it’s such an effort to do it, I can’t be bothered going through every single app and it’s option settings to get one result per app 🤦🏻♂️ Hopefully at one point it’ll be a tad easier to get custom icons with wallpapers installed and ready to use directly 🙌🏻
In a different video you showed how to remove icons from your iPad screen and you utilized widgets and shortcuts. You quickly did this and was hoping there was a step by step video or site you can direct me to to accomplish this myself. Thank you very much for the amazing videos
how do you like make packs to sell though? Like, i know how to change them and make my own but how do i package them as a pack to sell on like gumroad?
Idk why but my shortcuts app doesnt lunch the way people are complaining about so i love it When i open all my apps on homescreen everyrhing just work smoothly
Ok so I did this. But went to click on the new icon and it wasn’t the app I made for the icon. They are all mixed up. Ugh! So much effort to do this. What did I do wrong?
I am just too old to do these type of things. I used customise everything in my twenties not in thirties I just want everything to be clean, default and minimal
When you tap on the shortcut's icon to open the app, it redirects you to the shortcut app (like usual) but then, instead of redirecting you again to the open app, a message pops up in the screen saying: "Open App failed because it couldn't find an app to open." Then you can click either "Show" or "OK" "Show" opens up the shortcut to show you what app the shortcut was trying to open and OK just closes the pop up message. You would have to delete the shortcut afterwards if you want it removed from your screen.
It’s cool but I don’t like the fact when you shortcuts and customize the app. Every time You open the app is take you first to shortcut them the actual app. So annoying
Yeah if it wasn’t using Shortcuts I’d prolly dive it, but I can’t be bothered. I don’t like that extra step when opening. For now I’m just using the apps Widgetsmith and Color Widgets with some nice backgrounds to get most of the way there. Anyway, nice instruction. Thanks for the great content. 👍🏼
They went a little crazy with the prices of the themes. That’s why I do my own and I must say my home screen has never looked better. I think I changed it a million times before finding the theme that suited me.
How do I make a shortcut for the camera which includes both video and camera? As it is now, I can only make a shortcut for either one, and then I will have more app icons than before.
I have seen all of these comments that say that it is a deal breaker to have to go through the shortcuts app but if you download iOS 14.3, it completely removes that and there is just a small pop up on the top of the screen. (Please pin @dailytekk)
I dun get it..i use z-flip3 and iPhone 13 pro at the same time. With my z flip 3 i have thousands of theme where i can download for less than $3 and when it finishes downloading i just hit apply and all widgets and background etc change to that theme..why so many steps for apple?
Damon Mason I thought that you meant iPhone. This video and the whole channel is about apple devices so when you say that custom icons have been around for 15 yrs, you got me confused. If I am talking about a jailbreak you assume that I think that every phone would have the same features. So dumb. If you don’t own an iPhone why would you even be watching this vid in the first place. I don’t go watch very specific android videos for funsies either because as soon as I bought an iphone I pretty much stopped caring about android phones. Even if iPhone lacks customization there is this one thing called the Appstore why I don’t even think about switching
When I click on choose file to click on a folder of icons it doesn’t allow me to click on the folder. Does anyone have this same problem or have they gotten past this?
how do i unzip those files. i've paid for my. skins and i can't open them. Easy for some but video doesn't explain how to unzip it . I'm going to ask for money back
Why don't you just say it that Apple wanted the conservative iPhone user to be excited in a way and allow them to customise the home screen and flaunt it just as the Android guys do.
What’s stupid about it, is that because the customization through shortcuts isn’t native, you don’t get notification badges on your custom icons. Sort of defeats the purpose and it becomes purely aesthetic.
Wtf cares, im trying an iphone for weeks now, but i could just use it for calls, WhatsApp and music, videos, file management system, notifications are a mess

would love to join the podcast man!
is applehype dead?
hey, use Icon Themer, it´s way better and faster and opens directly to the app, search it on reddit or routinehub
lmk when apple makes this native - the shortcuts reroute is super annyoing
i know how to fix it, its a shortcuts called icon themer
shortcuts needs to be ram memory so i dont need to go to shortcuts every time i open whatsapp or somethig
Tommaso Gasparoli wdym? icon themer?
Casper de Crook thats the download. U can look up a tutorial for it on yt.

Terence Tolentino how?
Honestly, I thought the same but you get used to it. I only did four apps and it’s not bad
Exactly
i know how to solve it without any settings, only with a shortcuts, icon themer ez ez
@@Archenemy95 is that a thing?

Thanks Chris! Easy and quick explanation. Like many here, that Shortcuts middle man action is a killer😅
Wow that looks interesting but I'm still leaving mine looking the same as it was from the factory.
Would you mind linking the wallpaper you had on the phone in the beginning of the video? That was pretty dope.
Been doing this since jailbreaking iPhones
Does this work on Ipad?
Farbenwirbel yes ofc
I needed this
In a different video you showed how to remove icons from your iPad screen and you utilized widgets and shortcuts. You quickly did this and was hoping there was a step by step video or site you can direct me to to accomplish this myself. Thank you very much for the amazing videos
5:30 is what you came for
There’s a huge downside, you will not be able to see notification badges on those shortcuts
lmao nobody be talking to me anyways so-
positive side for me, a notification freak lol
@@quinn8494 fr lmao
yesssss loved this video man
thx!
wow that's great apple came a long way
I need a productive theme ios home screen customization
If you reduce motion you can’t actually see the redirect from shortcuts to the app
what do u mean?
I can still see it.
There’s actually a way to not have it redirected to the shortcut app at all. You can find it on reddit.
Definitely works. On my iPhone XS Max it cut the time in half with the animations essentially removed
Keti O. I cant find it? Can you link it?
the best video on this topic
Thanks!
I went to the website for the icons to check them out and now it’s $12.99 😂
Amazing I have been waiting for you to post about it!!! Trust you the most!!
how do you like make packs to sell though? Like, i know how to change them and make my own but how do i package them as a pack to sell on like gumroad?
Idk why but my shortcuts app doesnt lunch the way people are complaining about so i love it
When i open all my apps on homescreen everyrhing just work smoothly
I made a short cut for every app I have but when I open them I get an annoying banner on my screen that says shortcut, anyone know how to fix that?
Anyone know if the site is still up
Can you do this on iPadOS- I mean I know you cannot move widgets into your Home Screen yet, but about the custom app icons...
Val Kitchen you can.
Wow .. great option. better way to organize my apps and widgets 😃
Great tutorial! But, it’s kind of janky that iOS launches the screen “Shortcut” before actually launching the app.
Turnreducemotionon
ahh, loved it
Can you make a productive set up? Specifically for school with good widgets? Or simplistic
How do you change fonts colour to black ?
Ok so I did this. But went to click on the new icon and it wasn’t the app I made for the icon. They are all mixed up. Ugh! So much effort to do this. What did I do wrong?
Will they make more icon?
When he films the phone up close and the camera shakes: *I felt that...*
Wait you said it was new but you could theme your icons like this back on iOS 13 but no one even cared but now everyone thinks it’s new lol
The new thing was actually the widget stuff, but yeah the custom icon stuff and shortcuts were already there since iOS 13 tho
But you couldnt hide apps before
@@kwya if you jailbroken your phone you could put widgets
Useless jailbreaking is still superior easy to get around shortcuts reroute but when you get a notification displays the normal app icon
I am just too old to do these type of things. I used customise everything in my twenties not in thirties I just want everything to be clean, default and minimal
Thirties 😂. So old 😂
Great video dude
I would be curious to know what happens to an icon when you remove the app from your phone.
the icon would stay there, but it wouldn’t do anything when you tap it because the app has been removed
When you tap on the shortcut's icon to open the app, it redirects you to the shortcut app (like usual) but then, instead of redirecting you again to the open app, a message pops up in the screen saying:
"Open App failed because it couldn't find an app to open."
Then you can click either "Show" or "OK"
"Show" opens up the shortcut to show you what app the shortcut was trying to open and OK just closes the pop up message.
You would have to delete the shortcut afterwards if you want it removed from your screen.
Not for me. Apple icons are fine as it is.
The sailor mercury themed one was pretty cool... but ehh. I’m gonna stick with the default look
Is there a way to get notifications appear on custom icons
wow congrats, been doing this for years on Android lol
It’s cool but I don’t like the fact when you shortcuts and customize the app. Every time You open the app is take you first to shortcut them the actual app. So annoying
I am loving your video and appreciate you explaining all of this
loving the design but what do you do with the original icons? do you place then on a page then hide that page?
No need anymore. You can just delete them from the home screen all together. They will be in the “app library” if you need to find them again.
Great content as always Chris keep up the great work 👍🏾
can this happen for IPADOS?
Really like your videos!
what do i do with my old apps ? delete them ?
So i bought the icons on the website hes promoting and i can’t find them anywhere... pls help.
How do you do it for a folder not an app
you don’t get notifications for ur shortcut apps :/
Yeah if it wasn’t using Shortcuts I’d prolly dive it, but I can’t be bothered. I don’t like that extra step when opening. For now I’m just using the apps Widgetsmith and Color Widgets with some nice backgrounds to get most of the way there. Anyway, nice instruction. Thanks for the great content. 👍🏼
THANK YOUUU ♥️🤩
How do you bring original apps back - shortcut thing sucks ?
How do you make it say Widgetsmith in black?
My screen is completely different.. Open app brings me to choose from menu and none of my apps come up
They went a little crazy with the prices of the themes. That’s why I do my own and I must say my home screen has never looked better. I think I changed it a million times before finding the theme that suited me.
Wow now iPhone can do what Droid did 10 years ago! Way to go 🍎!
Droid couldn’t do this 10years ago
why when I go to the $6 website does it say the website is blocked? I have no phone restrictions whatsoever?
How do I make a shortcut for the camera which includes both video and camera? As it is now, I can only make a shortcut for either one, and then I will have more app icons than before.
I have seen all of these comments that say that it is a deal breaker to have to go through the shortcuts app but if you download iOS 14.3, it completely removes that and there is just a small pop up on the top of the screen. (Please pin @dailytekk)
HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET RID IF THIS POP UP UGHHHHHHH
This has been around since before iOS 14. Thought they would have gotten rid of the Shortcuts app middleman by now but apparently not. Oh well.
You never mentioned about how you can rename the icons, or not name them as this would make it even cleaner and more minimalistic.
Just in case no one told you today, Jesus Christ loves you so much ❤️
Thank you
Would this still be a profitable business today
Only I love stevejobs I love apple 🍎 but u really good awesome men💕🍎
I downloaded but I can’t unzip 🥺 pls help me
Anyone know how to do the windows themed that was found earlier ? It’s not in the description
Where can I find that wallpaper that’s split in half
when I set up two shorts it will open one first and roll to the next one ie messages will open and then it will open the phone app
The icons are cool but that’s a lot of work for each icon
I dun get it..i use z-flip3 and iPhone 13 pro at the same time. With my z flip 3 i have thousands of theme where i can download for less than $3 and when it finishes downloading i just hit apply and all widgets and background etc change to that theme..why so many steps for apple?
Like how this has been out for like 15yrs now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damon Mason Not without jailbrake
@@Vagabondgone Huh? Have you owned an Android before? Cause my phone does this easily without a jailbreak

You have to try the App WidgetWatch they have the best clock widgets.
To bad there isn’t just an option for transparency any more. I just want each icon to have no background with no extra fuss.
„Page not found“
My shortcuts look totally different and I can’t change app icon
You probably have an older phone or you haven’t updated
@@matt434 bro this was months ago and I got it to work Shortly after
When I click on choose file to click on a folder of icons it doesn’t allow me to click on the folder. Does anyone have this same problem or have they gotten past this?
I just saw on Twitter 😀
when you change the app icon looks do you still get notifications?
No
ios icon blanco
how do i unzip those files. i've paid for my. skins and i can't open them. Easy for some but video doesn't explain how to unzip it . I'm going to ask for money back

Apple, making Android customization looked easier.
Why don't you just say it that Apple wanted the conservative iPhone user to be excited in a way and allow them to customise the home screen and flaunt it just as the Android guys do.
The shortcut thing looks annoying tbh
What’s stupid about it, is that because the customization through shortcuts isn’t native, you don’t get notification badges on your custom icons. Sort of defeats the purpose and it becomes purely aesthetic.
look like the learn something from Miui who started as ios copycat :D
I just don’t like the redirect
Anybody got a link to a free version? I aint payin 10 bucks just to use 4 icons from the pack
Great Videos!! 100 steps to change one app . No Thanks
Way too much work
its black paris the custom fonts
can you get a virus by downloading the icons of icons8?
Only if you download a virus with the icons.
No android user jokes in comments 😂
Wtf cares, im trying an iphone for weeks now, but i could just use it for calls, WhatsApp and music, videos, file management system, notifications are a mess
Video startbat 1:50 thanks me later
Nothing beats a jailbroken ios device. These shortcut things are not for me.
Androids customization was great but aesthetically it’s not what apple does
Too much effort for just a visual change. The default is good enough !!!!
Comment under this post if you’ve bought it
That’s to much work no thanks lol
If I wanted that I’d have android
