How to Personalize Your Phone Without Jail-Breaking It

So while browsing the web, I stumbled upon an amazing app called Cocoppa. This application allows for the user to change most iPhone icons simply by creating a redirect link. The best part of this application is that you can even create your own designs to use. The app is very user friendly.

 1) Simply find the desired application you want, such as Instagram.

2) Find a cute design. Select “Set up Link” 

3) Select “App Search”

4) Type the desired app name in the search box, i.e. “Instagram”

5) A confirmation page will appear. Select “OK”

6) The application will open a window in Safari. Select the “Add to Home Screen” option.

7) Finally, enjoy your new icon!

Word of advice: Save all of the original application icons to a folder. The redirect links will not work if the original icon is uninstalled or deleted.

Some of the stock applications do not have a URL listed. Below are some of the common redirect links to use if you want to create your own icons or to add to icons you find without URLs.

Text message <3 sms:// 
Music <3 music:// 
Photos <3 photos-redirect:// 
Maps <3 maps:// 
AppStore <3http://AppStore.apple.com/Safari <3 http://google.com 
iTunes <3 http://itunes.apple.com/

Mail <3 mailto://

To add the URL simply:

 1) Select the desired icon.

2) Choose “Set up link”.

3) Then select the “URL” option.

4) In the space provided, enter everything after the <3 exactly as listed above. (i.e. <3 music://) Then select “Done”.

5) On the confirmation page, name your icon, then select “OK”.

6) The application will open a window in Safari. Select the “Add to Home Screen” option.

7) Name your app, then select "Add".

8) Select "Add to Home Screen".

9) Finally, enjoy your new icon!
