10 of the best Android icon packs you can find today
One of the easiest ways to change the look and feel of your Android device is to install a new launcher. And, once you do that, it’s a breeze to swap icons packs in and out to refresh the aesthetics. Prefer a minimal look with white icons? Sweet! Dig that flat and square stuff that feels like Google Now? Get it! Prefer for a nice, rounded icon design? Whatever, dude… it’s your device.
We’ve gathered up yet another 10 of our favorite icon packs to go along with our previous collections. For those counting, this is the eighth post of its kind; see others at bottom of post.
Note that there are a number of launchers for Android and that not all of these may play nice. Our advice is to read the Google Play details and check out the user comments if you aren’t quite sure.

Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:

http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
Wallpapers fail to fit my phone, setting from browser only shows small portion. Setting from gallery lowers queality like crazy.
I was bored today and was looking for portal themes for my nook running cm7.
I will keep an eye on this thread and see If I can find anything to help.
Love the game so far.
I think with the wall papers you have to click the "download full resolution" link in imgur.
Not sure I like these, I would really like to see one with the look of "panels" from the game. I am horrible with graphics. lol. I usually have to rely on the kindness of strangers for icons and whatnot.
Here is a good set of icons:
http://lady-tima.deviantart.com/art/Portal-v1-0-1-75896888?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=8
I know its for the iphone, but it works.
I cant help but be inspired by this post also from Deviant Art
http://wistfulwriter.deviantart.com...e-192617498?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=14
would love it to look like the Level Boards....
HEre is what ive been working on latley, decent but could be better.
Looking for a battery widget that looks like little bars like on the level boards on each level in portal.

I made an unlock, lock, and shutdown sound i like it! hope you do too.
I too would love to see a portal theme for my Thunderbolt! I am brand new to Android, and am not willing to root my phone, so any help on installing a theme for unrooted devices would be great (I do have Go Launcher as well as Launcher Pro and ADW). OR, any help on creating my own would do just as well. Will keep an eye on this.
I already downloaded the wallpapers and icons, will play with that for a bit. Will also try Simple Text and Minimilistic Text see what I can do.
+1 on this idea. I love the idea of a portal-esque theme for my samsung captivate.. might try to toy around with it myself a bit too.. Will report back once I actually get some progress..
I have been using this setup with a little modification as my lock screen for a while. I think you'll like it as a portal fan.

Thanks in advance man cant wait to try it out on my phone
Update: Alive on the android market. Search 'dark metro'. Can't link directly, xda rules. Also available through the Theme Manager app.
Recently started playing with all this theming stuff. I've been making a theme for LauncherPro Plus, even published it on SlideMe app market, but without much succes.. So I'm wondering if I'm theming something wrong. But as I can't expect myself to be objective, I need some feedback, user input, constructive criticism, so I could get better. I'd like to share ideas on this.
So.. a little Metro/WP7-inspired.. cause metro icons are just perfect Ladies & gentlemen, I present you Dark Metro Solid Black.

Now, as I am pedantic about the design, there always has to be (at least there should be) a matching icon pack for every theme, especially in case of LauncherPro, and I found a few that go well with what I created, for instance, here on xda-dev forums, there's this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924446
Really awesome metro icons pack by Weudel, with help from GinoCorleone. You'll get high-res 256x256 png files from it, that although seem like better, they looked kinda weird on my phone, so I experimented and found out that smaller resolution versions, say 60x60, 48x48 actually look better.
It has something to do with android system resizing images. Anyways, to save you the hassle with resizing, you can grab a resized zip from my blog (with permission from the creator, credit goes to Weudel for this)
It's also possible to find the official WP7 icon set on the net, but xda has it's rules, and I can't link to it/post it.
And btw, speaking of metro icons, some people might find it useful - try googling MetroStation by yankoa. Black, blue, white. Huge. You'll love it.
Again, no linking, sorry people.
Speaking of wallpaper, bright, warm colors suit this theme the best. I particulary like sportscars, so picking the one you see on screenshots was a no-brainer to me.. if you like it too, pm me.
I posted some stuff more and hints on this theme back on my blog, like a matching Minimalistic Text widget settings. If you really like it, feel free to drop by.
Aaaah, one more IMPORTANT thing - there's some weird bug when browsing black icons in gallery 3d and quickpic (two gallery apps I'm using, don't know about other cases), but don't go ka-boom just yet.. Dirty fix that goes for all black/dark icons - just pick the ones you'd like to have in your dock, name them like 1.png, 2.png, 3.png etc, the open the right folder in your gallery app, and they will be 1,2,3 in the first row, 4,5,6 in the second, and so on in the lower rows from the top. Just pick blindly by number, you'll get the ones you want.
Also, if you have some questions, like for instance newbie questions (how do I setup this or that), just PM/mail me. I mean, I'm new to this myself.. heh.
Reserved for world domination purposes/maybe an additional setup guide to keep it clean from post #1.
This looks great. Very nice work.
Very nice!

Just a quick update - it's alive on the market now! I managed to pull this off with a little help from a friend in the US.
Just search 'dark metro launcher pro' or simply 'dark metro'. Enjoy!
Also, I'm toying with some stand-alone widgets to match the theme. And probably a custom widget locker skin would be a good idea. But for now, studies take most of my time. At least for a week.
Nice man! It looks nice and clean.
Thanks. Nice and clean is exactly what I aimed.
Minimalistic is jazzy. It's a trend, a fashion. A design philosophy, a very appealing one.
But on the other hand, desktop has to be productive. I had a minimalistic rainmeter win7 desktop, and I loved it, but when it came to the development of this theme, I just turned it off and went for the icon/folder cluttered simple desktop. Cause it's faster, more productive, when you have all them crappy folders on your desktop instead of jumping from one location to another to search stuff on your hdd.
So one has to balance. Be minimalistic, but productive. But minimalistic!
So I chose LauncherPro as a base, because it's very productive with it's widgets, everything one needs right there on the desktop. Twitter, facebook, bookmarks, calendar, agenda, you name it. Well-thought.
Just a little metro love (round icons, whoooh).. Some dark shades.. and ka-boom.
Nice! It looks so nice!!

+1 layout a little out on wilfire.
Nice idea and concept. I just love adw customization and larger widget availability too much.
Great work though.

Not compatible with ICS.
Really liking this.
Is there any way of hiding the status bar though?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Well, since I can change the number of screens, the only thing I think that would make this a perfect launcher for me is the ability to resize widgets and use custom dock icons.
i love this! im using the cloud theme
Very impressive!
I think I found a bug:
- go to Group Management
- long-tap last group (Times)
- select "move down"
- phone not responding anymore, have to reboot.
I'd prefer reordering here would be drag and drop, if possible.
Also, HiLocker keeps the phone awake, wasting battery.
I really love the hi lock screen, BUT:
It has massive battery drain, my phone can't get to sleep and when I look at the battery consumption, the lockscreen takes up like 20%. So I had no choice but to use another lockscreen.

If all developers announced every app and every change they made on every forum, XDA would be unusable.
Perhaps, but i always end up removing these threads in the end, once im satisfied that things are working well on certain devices. Also:

Hi guys, i'm djskarpia developer and i make icon themes for android. Maybe some of you know me for my StockUI or Cyrcle or Quadro icon theme. BTW, i'm here to post a FREE Theme: it's the first version of STOCK UI, my first theme that collected over 7000 downloads as a paid theme on play store. Last weeks i remade all icons and i made a new version (restyled) that i published on play store. So this version is the first version and not the second restyled that is currently published. The over 7000 downloads are a proof that this theme will improve your home screen To support me and my works, i suggest you to open the dashboard that comes with the app and look for my themes on play store (all quality works and supported with weekly updates) and buy some or all of them (you won't regret that). In alternative you can open the link i'm providing in this page. Now move on the theme

I really love your icon packs. Especially Quadro is to my taste: good shape, nice vibrant (limited amount of) colors and good interpretations of the original icons!
Small suggestion (probably not the right place, but here goes): to lower the scale factor of unthemed icons. Most icons use the full available space, so when scaling them up they don't fit in the icon
Also, some existing icons can use an 'update'. For example Adfree; it has a much nicer icon now (umbrella) than before. Also it seems to be lacking a true KK-like phone icon.
Still my daily pack though, 99% to my taste
Keep up the good work djskarpia!
