You can change the settings of application icons using Icon Resizer, a jailbreak application for smartphones iPhone with open access to the file system.
To use this tweak, after downloading and installing it, you need to open the 'Settings' program and click on the line with the Icon Resizer options. The program will offer several options for sizes, as well as a list of applications for which these changes are available.

However, keep in mind that it will be inconvenient to use the application icons if you set them to a value greater than 70, since they will be too large for the standard display iPhone. In the specified range, the program does not make any restrictions, therefore, in the iPhone, you can either reduce or enlarge the icons.
If after using Icon Resizer you don't like the appearance of the icons, you can easily return to the original image; for this, there is a special switch button in the tweak settings. After clicking on it, all changes made by the program will be disabled.
