One of the reasons why many people jailbreak their devices is due to lack of customization in iOS, that is, there are tweaks in Cydia that allow you to customize almost everything customizable on iOS and that Apple would not allow it in its native versions. Today we show you Icon Resizer, a tweak that allows us to modify the size of the Springboard icons. Personally, I'm not a fan of using these tweaks, but probably many of you will be interested icon size editing with Icon Resizer, the tweak in question.
Modifying the size of icons with Icon Resizer
First of all, we will have to download the tweak, Icon Resizer, for free from a new repository that you probably do not have installed on your device:

To begin the modification we go to the Icon Resizer Settings in the iOS Settings and we see that we can modify several aspects:
- Resize icons: If we enter this menu we see all the apps that we have installed. If we click on one (the one we want to change its size) we see that we have a scale of numbers from 20 (smallest) to 120 (largest icon). If we want it to have the default size, we select: Default at the top of the list.
- Default icon size: Here we set the default size. The default size that comes is not the one that Apple offers in iOS. We have to try sizes until we find the one we like.
- News stand size: In this place what we modify is the size of the icon specifically of the Kiosk application that almost no one uses and that Apple will surely remove it from its operating system soon.
The idea is to try sizes until we find the size that we like the most. This means that we have to do resprings every time we modify any Icon Resizer option.
