I have the given formula given in overleaf latex: enter image description here

Given by

\begin{equation}
    H=\int \bigg(\big||\partial_x|^{\alpha/2}\psi\big|^2+\frac{1}{2}\big||\partial_x|^{-\beta/4}\psi\big|^4\bigg)dx
\end{equation}

However, I find this integral sign to be rather boring, compared to the nicer version:

How can I change this type of integration sign to be more like the lower picture?

Thanks

The preamble is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{enumerate}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
\usepackage{lscape}
\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}
\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}
\newcommand{\C}{\mathbb{C}}

    Show us your code. We need a MWE to help you. Judging from your post, it seems like the bottom equation uses \left and \right on the parentheses and adds an extra half space before the dx. The integral sign may be vertically scaled. Jan 26 at 9:02

    Remove \usepackage{MnSymbol}

See, if the following example gives (similar) result what you after:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{nccmath,        % for \mfrac: medium size of \frac
            mathtools}      % it load amsmath too
\DeclarePairedDelimiter\abs{\lvert}{\rvert} % for writing absolute values
% instead of your "\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}"
\DeclarePairedDelimiterX\norm[1]\lVert\rVert{\ifblank{#1}{{\cdot}}{#1}} 
\usepackage{esint}          % new, for integrals
\usepackage{derivative}     % new, for commands for writing derivatives in a straightforward manner

\begin{document}
        \begin{equation}
H = \int \biggl(\abs*{\abs{\partial_x}^{\alpha/2} \psi}^2
        + \mfrac{1}{2}\abs*{\abs{\partial_x}^{-\beta/4}\psi}^4\biggr)\odif{x}
    \end{equation}
\end{document}

Off topic:
In your preamble many packages are loaded twice, some of them (like utf8, etc) are at newes LaTeX version not needed anymore.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}           % should be last in reamble
%\usepackage{url}               % loaded by hyperref
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{rotating, graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}            % loaded by mathtools
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{lscape}
%\usepackage{rotating}          % loaded second time
\usepackage{epstopdf}           % not needed anymore, covered by graphicx
%\usepackage{MnSymbol}          % you not liked its integral signs
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}            % loaded second time
\usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
\usepackage{lscape}
\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}
\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}
\newcommand{\C}{\mathbb{C}}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage[mathscr]{euscript}  % is really need?
\usepackage{mathrsfs}           % is really need?
\usepackage{yfonts}             % is really need?
\usepackage{setspace}           % loaded second time
\doublespacing
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}
