OnePlus Customization Guide: Personalize Your Home Screen, Themes & Icons

TamilTech AI summary

OnePlus phones running OxygenOS let you deeply personalize almost everything, from themes and wallpapers to icons, fonts, and the lock screen. You can grab full themes or mix elements in the Theme Store, pick static, live, video, AI-generated, portrait, or dynamic wallpapers, and tweak icon packs, shapes, sizes, and labels right from Home Screen settings. Fonts, Always-On Display styles (including Canvas AOD and Bitmoji), accent colors, quick-settings tiles, grid layouts, folders, widgets, and lock-screen clocks or shortcuts are all easy to adjust so the phone feels like yours. Handy extras include renaming apps, hiding them in a password-protected Hidden Space, using Shelf for widgets and notes, and setting custom ringtones or per-app notification sounds. Overall it matters because these built-in tools give you a polished, unique look and workflow without needing third-party launchers, so explore Settings → Personalization and related menus to make the changes stick.
