Icon Pack Studio FAQ

Usage
Why do I need a launcher to apply icon packs created with Icon Pack Studio?
Every Android device is distributed with a built-in launcher. However, built-in launchers generally do not provide support for icon packs. If your built-in launcher does not support the icon pack format used by Icon Pack Studio, then you won't be able to use any of the icon packs created or downloading using Icon Pack Studio. 
The problem can be solved by downloading a third party launcher from Play Store. Third party launchers provide extra features and in some cases, they can also improve your device resources usage.
Can I use Icon Pack Studio with my launcher?
Icon Pack Studio has been designed to work with any launcher. However, in order to use your icon packs with your launcher, your launcher needs to support the icon pack studio format, which is one of the most common icon pack format in the Android market.

Icon Pack Studio allows exporting icon packs in the APK format. In order to do that, Icon Pack Studio includes the resources necessary to generate an APK at runtime. A few simple antivirus apps misrecognize this as an attempt to hide a virus and report Icon Pack Studio as malware. 
APKs exported by Icon Pack Studio consist just of a collection of icons, they do not require ANY permission, they cannot access any device data and they cannot even trasmit data using the network.
