App icon

[rainman024]

In some phones, Xiaomi 3s prime for example, app icons are not exactly they are, rather in a square box. But in Nexus 5, app icons are exactly they are, without any box or other shapes at all. Is it because of custom and stock android difference? Is there any way I can get Nexus like icons in Xiaomi or other phones with similar issue? Thanks!

And, if it will work on your phone, you can try the Google Now launcher; it's the default launcher for the Nexus line:
