Under heavy construction
I'm just getting started on this project (only a week in so far), but the goal is to grow it into the best and easiest place to find icons. Let me know if anything's broken, doesn't make sense, is missing, or anything else for that matter. I want to get as much feedback as soon as possible so I can make sure the site's useful for both artists and users alike.
Planned features
Discussion boards
Rating system
Favorites/bookmarking system
.. much more ...
Community Building and Management
Aside from being able to upload new content, registered users can comment on just about anything. I'll also be adding discussion boards soon(ish). All of this means there's great potential for community discussion, interaction, and collaboration. It also means there may be a lot to monitor to make sure people aren't abusing the site. I'll be looking for moderators to help keep an eye on things. Please let me know if this is something you might be interested in doing.
Adding Icon Sets
I'm in the process of adding as many icon sets as possible. I've written an automated system to upload icon sets in bulk, so let me know if you have an icon set you would like me to add. Please include a preview picture, URL of the set's home page, and a link to download the icons.
Many icon sets have threads here on XDA, and people often contribute icons not made by the original set's author. It's harder for me to upload those since I can't do them mass like the full set. I could use help adding individual user-contributed icons. Just be sure to create an artist page for the poster if one doesn't exist already.
Adding Artists
Artists work hard on their icons, so it is very important to give them credit and link back to their profiles. In order to do this, please help create artist pages (must be registered on the site) as you add icons to the site. Be sure to include the URL of their main profile page. Each artist page will display a little about the artist, as well as their latest icon sets and individual icons.
If you are an artist, be sure to create a page for yourself (must be registered on the site) so that you can manage your page's content. If there is already a page for you on the site for your work, let me know so I can set you as its author and give you access to change it.
Adding Apps
One of the great things about IconDatabase.net is that you can easily see and filter all of the available icons for specific apps. Part of setting this up is specifying what app(s) each icon belongs to. I'm doing my best to figure out a decent automated system to handle this, but in the meantime, I could use help with editing icons and adding the app(s) they belong to. If you do not see an app listed on the site, feel free to add it (must be registered on the site.) Just be sure to use the "add an icon" link once the page is created to add the official icon.
In conclusion ...
Let me know if you have any questions or requests. The site is definitely in its early stages, and I will be adding features and info pages based on your feedback.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure it's time for a bit of an update.
Since my initial post, I've figured out how to automate a lot of things, which has allowed me to start populating a lot of the content (i.e. upload sh--tons on icons!). As of this post, IconsDatabase.net lists 43 different sets, for a total of 16,000+ icons! I'm adding more each day.
You can now follow the latest icon sets added to the site via RSS.
I'm also starting to dive into Android development, and will look at building an app to easily select icons from a launcher for quick theming.
Looking forward to getting people's thoughts.
Another quick progress report...
I've added basic discussion boards to the site. That's by no means the most important feature, but I figured I'd get a little community interaction going, or at least the potential for it.
You can also subscribe to pages now to receive emails when they are updated or a new comment is posted. This should be especially useful for artists that want to be instantly notified of comments posted to their page or icon sets.
I may add a "request an icon" to the site soon(ish), whereby you could directly request icons for a specific app in an icon set and the artist could review the most requested apps to know what to work on next. I could also use this to generate a global "most requested apps" page so artists know what to start with for new sets.
Thoughts?
Hello world? Y u no replies?
Thanks for making something like this and working so hard on it. As a designer I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the posts guys. I was beginning to worry only zombies were visiting the site. Glad to know people are finding it useful. That's why I work on this kind of thing.
If anyone has any feature requests or suggestions, now's the time, so let me know.

Good to know it's appreciated by designers. I've created an artist page for you here, and features your sets here, here, and here. If you care to register on the site, I'll make you the owner of those pages so you can make any changes. You can also subscribe to any of them to get email notifications when they are modified or comments are added.

Yeah, if it's not mobile friendly, then it would kind of defeat the purpose. It should be even more friendly within the next few months as I learn my Android programming and develop the companion app. Then all you'll have to do is select the app and browse to the icon you want when editing launcher icons.
New Ideas (need feedback)
I'm playing around with a new new ideas, and would like to know how people feel about them, and which features you would like to see implemented first.
Ratings
I'll probably be adding a 1-5 star rating system for artists, icon sets, and icons. This should be pretty easy. You'll also be able to sort things by rating.
My Apps
I'm thinking of letting people flag apps that they use. This way you could see a quick list of all your favorite apps.
Personal Custom Sets
Say you like the Gmail icon from one set, but you like the Shazam icon from another. Personal Custom Sets would let you combine icons into a single set.
Download Launcher Icon Packs
This would let you download auto-generated launcher packs and apks for easy installation on your phone. You could do this for official icon sets, or for personal custom sets (described above.)
Thoughts?

Thanks for taking the time to let me know in what order you'd like to see features implemented.
I'm sure I'll be able to figure out the icon pack structure, but if you want to send some code (or links to tutorials) my way, it'd save me the 60 or seconds of searching I'd have to do.
I agree that the site's design is horribly lacking. I'm a programmer, and am not very good at design. What I need most is design mockups (PSDs for example) that I can translate into the site's template. I like the idea of a Holo color scheme. If anyone wants to take a crack at a design, I'd be most grateful, and would of course give them credit in the site's footer.
P.S. DSaif, I take it those three icon sets you uploaded are actually icon backgrounds that style existing icons?

Apex Launcher Tutorial (the same will work for Nova Launcher)
I want to contribute to the site's design.
Yes, they're just backgrounds which automatically theme every icon. It's called iconback & iconupon feature. I took that approach because it's hard to theme every icon and users are not satisfied. I'll start making special icons for home screen soon. Will take Holo Icons and style them.

I'd love to see what you come up with for site design.

Thanks for your interest in this.

I've created an easy(ish) method of uploading sets, but as of now it involves FTPing things and directly modifying a script I wrote. I'll push it into a proper module for the site at some point. Until then, I''ll just keep upping things as fast as I can.
I'll add the icons you requested.

Ideas and suggestions for new "nutboard"
This thread is for help in renaming and branding the Nutboard app. Hey, the devs/mods of the Nutboard are about to release a new and improved version and would like some suggestions and ideas for the apps functionality, name and design for the icon. If you're not familiar with the app, I urge you to download it and try it, it is a posting board/forum app available for free on the market. I've been testing some new beta's and they are really fast. So.... "I need ideas, and a favor: we want a new name & icon for NB. Something that will appeal more to the masses. Nice, yet simple. NutBoard has served us well, but if we want this app to be "for the people" then we need a name that doesn't leave any guesses as to what the app is. Also, the nut makes the app look like a utility, instead of a forum. We've come up with a few ideas, but nothing solid. I know I don't like the name "chat" in it, as that gives the idea that it's a chat room, but it's more like a forum. We want to be able to get a stable version on the market soon, so we can start attracting users, but we can't really do that until we have a new name & icon. Any ideas?" "-b" So i thought the fine minds at XDA would be more then happy to add input. Well crafted, finely tuned smart remarks are welcome. Stupid comments are not. Thanks for all that this community gives daily.
Here a few icons I threw together quickly just sort of a play on the name nutboard.

Weather forecast, women animation perhaps
I posted this Idea on PPCgeeks and was told to better post it here since all the GREAT developpers are here. What would be really cool, if some developer would mod/tweak the weather tab or the weather on home screen with women animation for sene 2.1 and 2.5. Example: 1-Sunny - an animated swimming suit model 2-Cold - a animated women with white coat on 3-Windy - animated Marilyn Monroe with her signature pic, flying white dress I think that would be nice and an extreme hit.
Clever idea. Not a developer, but most of the weather apps simply use a different numbered .png file for each condition. It would be fairly easy to replace them with static images of different woman pictures. The animation may be a bit trickier...
hahaha... I like the idea
Great idea. i hope it will be done some day=)
Most of the work for this would be more graphical and skinning then actual software development. So i moved this thread.

MarketPlace For Skins & Themes: Categories & Sections To Include?
We have been running WMSkins Gallery, with an aim to bring all the skins & themes for Windows mobiles to one central location. Now we are creating a platform based on WMSkins Gallery which will be a marketplace for all the skins & themes for Windows Mobiles & Android. Designers over here go a great job & provide our devices a new look but they are not given full credit. We would like that designers get there share of advantage for their hard work. So, we will provide all the designers a medium where they can share their work either for free or paid. We would like to know your thoughts about it? We are also looking for name recommendations for the new gallery, So Please suggest. UPDATE: Here's a preview, its just a design mockup. We are working on functionality. Regards, WMSkins Team.
Yes, That would be a great idea!
it is good to have something, however, lately I am making themes and wallpapers for S2U2 which I post here. I see them back on your site, no problem at all, but I think it is not more than polite to add the original author's name on it. I see now several themes, clocks and wallpapers which I photoshopped together ;-) and at some of them the poster (a guy from India) did not mentioned the author. And when you are really going to SELL my themes I want my share, all original PSD files are in my computer, I really do not want you to sell something and make profit using my work without notifying. You took the themes and skins from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111&page=714 I made this because I think it is fun and to do something back for this great community, I did not expect to see them on other sites without referring to the author (the one with the green lamborghini on wmskins for example) Cheers, Arnold

I would be great to have more of the themes in a centralized place, however charging for themes could be very difficult considering how many talented developers are just giving them away. Those who do make the themes deserve to get their do credit. I am in support of a "theme gallery", but not paying for something we are already getting for free or by donating.

If a designer is paid for his work, he'll be more interested in providing more skins & themes, therefore user will get more & more awesome look on the device. Its good for both designers & users.

Changing icons help
I have looked at a lot of theming threads and learned two things. 1. I don't have the talent to theme. 2. I have a new appreciation for those who do. What I want to know is how to change icons (just home screen and drawer icons). Seems there has to be an idiot proof way to do it so even an uber nerd like me can do it. Reason is that I have a great theme, but the author hasn't themed all the icons yet so some look massively out of place. So, can someone walk me through how to change up icons with stuff I might find here and there?

i'm new to this but the short answer is to open, not unzip, whatever rom your using. then open up, not unzip, the apk you want to play with. all that is done in anything like winzip or winrar. then open the png in photoshop or fireworks or something. do your thing then save and update zip/apk, then push new apk to appropriate folder. i would read up though before pushing anything to your phone. for any question i've had, i've found a tutorial here or elsewhere.

OK guys and girls, I'm listing a few links to some threads that I've come across on XDA and some other sites that will give you resources to help you emulate the look of WP7/WP8 (not a lot has changed in the aesthetic side of the two OS's). Its been a pain in the arse trying to find everything to make my phone look like WP. This is an attempt to put all finds in one easily accessible spot. Credits of course go to the original authors/ OP of the respected threads. Most of you may know about some of these threads, but for those of you who are new to these launchers this should help you out. I didn't see the need at first to create a new thread, but decided to do so anyway. If you find this helpful, add to it, hit the thanks button, and pay it forward. Typing all of this from my phone at work, so bare with me for any grammatical errors. Launchers I'm only listing the two that I favor and think are the best suited. This is clearly my opinion. There are several out there, but these are my favorites. Launcher 8- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920531 Launcher 7- ( can't get the Play store link because of my play store default on my phone. Just type in launcher 7 and it'll pop up in the play store) Icons http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982541 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978615 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405238 Hubs Tutorial I created this some time ago on rootz wiki. Most of you know how to do this. Again this is for noobs to the launcher. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19575-launcher7-hubs/ Note: do not pay attention to the wallpaper instructions. Another thread link will show you how to do this. Weather hub- Came across this the other day and the OP did a beautiful job with this idea. I'm running it now and its gorgeous. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989961 Apps- These have been discontinued by the team and are now offered for free. You may have some compatibility issues based based on the ROM/Version of android you are running. Other apps such as calculator, notifications, music player can be found in the Play Store with free and paid versions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445855 For the Xbox hub simply download the Xbox smart glass app from the market. One Note is also available. If you want a better dialer, look for the many theme engine themes or use WP7Contact. There is an option in that app that will have it start up on the dialer alone. Different Hub wallpaper tut- After much searching and finally finding someone to help, this can be accomplished using Tasker. A special thanks to GermainZ for helping me with this and brandall for starting that thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110775&page=149 If anyone else would like to contribute by helping others, pasting links to old and new finds please do so. I will continue to add to this and organize it better as much as my busy schedule allows.
