"Makes shortcuts and widgets your way"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / May 29, 2012

Desktop VisualizeR allows you to create personalized shorcuts and widgets for your homescreen.

Android is the perfect OS for those who are fond of personalizing even the details on their mobile devices. Desktop VisualizeR is one of those apps that makes easier owning an unique and inimitable device.

It allows you to create your own icons and widgets by using image files, apps icons, icon packs or even add-ons. Probably the most interesting feature is creating icons and widgets from pictures. The process is quite easy: select the icon source and then select what actions that icon is going to perform. For example, you can launch an app with that icon, bookmark, contact, direct message and many other stuff (depending on your installed apps).

Remember that once done you can place your icons or widgets by long-pressin homescreen, add widgets/shortcuts and then select Desktop VisualizeR. Icon are one size. However, there are up to 17 different widget sizes. Change the whole appearance of your homescreen.

Original and easy-to-use. Worth to give it a try.

    I used this quite a bit on my old phone (a galaxy s2) but now that I've upgraded to an HTC one it looks like some of the pictures I'm using as icons are blurry.
