Juan has not published any method todo the same on Android, but the truth is that thanks to the number of options that some launchers allow us, it is not too complicated.
In Android we can apply hundreds of icon packs different from the applications, so you only need to have installed a launcher that is compatible with icons and download the pack that you like the most from Google Play (I’m a big fan of Moonshine), then you can change all the logos of all the apps or only the ones that you want.
