Renaming an app on your personal computer or changing its
icon is a five-finger exercise; even a child can do that!
But do you even think of doing the same on your Android OS
Smartphone? It’ll be fun, right? We researched it and found
some ways to change the name of your app on Android via some
applications. There are specific ways to do that, such as
APK editors, Launchers, Modules, etc.
Let’s check out all of these methods and estimate which one
is feasible and why!
APK Editors
The very first method that we found to rename the app is via
APK editors. For this purpose, you have to follow the
below-mentioned simple steps: –
Step 1: Firstly, you need the APK package
of the targeted app. If you do not have the APK format, then
you can compile it with the help of Astro File Manager.
Step 2: After compiling the APK package,
download it on your mobile and download version4.0; you need
Java to get that version, so download Java if you do not
have it.
Step 3: Now, finally, you have both the APK
file and editor so let’s initiate the editing. Run the APK
editor and upload the APK package of the respective app
here.
Step 4: The editor will read the file and
the display icon, and the name will appear in front of you.
Here you can easily edit the name of the app.
Step 5: After changing the name, click on
the apply button to save changes and enjoy the app’s new
name.
Via Launchers
Let me tell you something; the Playstore is full of
launchers that can make this process easy for you. Just
install any launcher from the store, such as Nova Launcher
or Apex Launcher. In my opinion, Nova Launcher is the best
one. After the installation, you can quickly rename your
app. Just long-press the app, and you will get an option of
“Edit.” Click on edit and rename your app here.
Module Xposed
Heard the first time about this thing? Let me explain it!
Xposed is a type of framework that saves modules and makes
your Android extremely feasibly for you. It was solely
developed to change the name of an app on android and
display that name in all other locations.
Download the xRenamer module on your mobile and activate it
in the module section; after that, restart your device. Now
you are good to go to change the name of your app. Thanks to
me later.
QuickShortcutMaker
Here we are presenting you another method to rename your app
but let me tell you that it is not as efficient as the other
ones, as QuickShortcutMaker only changes the name of the app
on the first page.
Install this app from Google Playstore and launch it. Here
you will see the menu of every installed app on your mobile.
Click on the desired app and press “Press to change labels”
on the screen’s top right corner. Finally, press the Create
button. You will see your app with the changed-name.
