I bought the EVO on its first day of availability after having owned iPhones for the prior three years. One of the things that immediately bothered me was the inconsistency of icons. While there are many great icon designs in Android I prefer a simple consistent look for them.
I put these together some time ago for my own personal use with no intent on releasing them. Therefore, I did not document instances where I either borrowed elements from other icon designers or recreated the design of icons I had seen in the past. After receiving so many requests to release them I decided I'd track down the original artists whose icons I recreated or borrowed elements from... Unfortunately, due to my hectic work schedule that just has not been possible. Therefore, I simply removed the icons I recall as not being original and will add them back as I get around to getting the blessing of the original artist.
In the interim I have made available all the other icons I put together. In total there are just over 200 with a number of alternates for select apps. Hopefully, there is nothing in this pack with borrowed elements, however, if anyone sees something I missed please point it out and I'll be happy to remove it. Once I get around to getting the blessing from some artists whose designs I borrowed there will be another 50-60 icons added.
Now that that is out of the way... I present my fellow XDA'ers "Vitamin Droid." It seems everyone has a name for their icon pack so I figured this was as good as any. They are clean, colorful, crisp, and square. Below is a preview as well as links to zips of the icons. Bear in mind there are two zip packs. One of them is for all the icons in a 140px size and the other is for the icons in a 70px size. They are identical in all aspects except for their size. I created them in 140px to be somewhat future proof as higher resolution screens continue to be released.

I may sound a little slow but how do u install them cause they look pretty nice
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I know there are a variety of methods for doing it including Metaporph but, I am not really familiar with them. I changed the icons within the apk for all my apps so that they would also be themed within the App Drawer.
Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will come along and make an iconpack out of these.
That said, I am going to put these into a MIUI package this week which should be significantly easier for those running MIUI.
thanks so much, your icons look great
Using a custom launcher like launcher pro or adw. You can touch and hold on the screen and press custom short cut and go on

Hey everyone. I saw NXCDesigns Incredible green neon clock theme. He has it on the HD2 for download but how do I port it over to my incredible?? Thanks.
Link would help
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
While I did port it over to Fancy Widget, that is no longer allowed here. I haven't messed with the HTC flip clock for Android since you have to modify the .apk, resign it and if it doesn't sign right afterwards and you install it, it will fudge up your original widget.
with that said, i'll give it another go this week sometime
I assume you're refering to this one since you mentioned it was available for the HD2/TP2

wow that really looks amazing. how would i get the fancy widget version of that? im on a vanilla rom so no sense. but what exactly do you mean by fancy widget not being allowed here?
edit: nevermind a quick google got me what i wanted. nice work though, i shouldn't have it but still. looks great. i do intend on using this till whatever it is you plan on doing to get something similar but allowed to exist haha. but good work and good luck!

"Look at it, isn't it beautiful?" Quote from Resistance 2 ps3
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'm glad to see i got some fans
here's the original screenshot for the one I made for Fancy Widget
but yes, in a nutshell, Fancy Widget is banned from here because it was at the request of HTC that it no longer be allowed, main reason is because it uses the same exact graphics and weather connect coding as the HTC sense clock. HTC wants to keep sense on HTC devices only so thats another reason why, which i don't blame them.
the other widget you should check out is Beautiful Widgets, i made 3 clocks on there for download, while there not as nice as the sense clocks there just as close.
@superchilpil
by any chance, can you tell me where you got that quote from?
Thanks alot for your replies! I love your work on that screenshot above. I did in fact see your widgets for Beautiful Widgets but I really haven't found one to match this sort of style. I do have a copy of fancy widgets .apk installed. I do know it is banned from this fourm but maybe outside of this fourm we could exchange emails about it. I am a noob with android but do have good computer skills.
Thanks alot!
ive got the ok from a mod to post metamorphs for fancy widget themes, but explicitly no posting apk's
although i tried to do one and i had all sorts of issues (reboot and the widget is gone or not installed...among some other things that were very strange) so im not really sure its worth screwing around with

Somewhere in the android world I have seen a picture of somebody using what appears to be a scrollable app launcher on their screen. This particular one was rounded and was on the side of the screen. Kind of like half of a rotary clock dialer, but instead of numbers it was apps.
Thanks for any ideas you have as to what I may be talking about!
Sounds like circlelauncher ...
Its half rotary cause the launcher is in the top, if its in the middle it will be full circle

That's not the exact one I was thinking of, but very similar.
The one I remember seeing I believe had a grey background and was only halfthe circle on either the left or right of the screen.
This one will work though if I can't find the one I was thinking of, though the one I remember looked better IMO. But it's possible it was just a particular rom feature.
Thanks!

not wonderwheel either :/
it's closer to this, if it was scrollable and ran more along the left and right sides of the screen.

Is that ultimate faves pro? If so, I was hoping what I was looking for was an actual widget and not a home replacement.
Small bump, still haven't found anything like I was remembering.
Would anyone be interested in making something like this?
It doesn't have to be curved or super fancy, but I'd love a widget (say 3 columns wide or 3 rows long) that I could place any number of apps into and scroll through them.
Of course after it gets made then it could be fancy, if somebody wished.
Not thinking of smart taskbar are you?
No it wasn't that one. Sorry for the long reply I thought I had this thread set up for notifications.
Hmmm I wonder if I just dreamed this.
I believe the app your talking about is called Clutch Pad by Steve Albright, it's available in the market for $1.99. Also, if your looking you something similar, but free, I'd recommend either Circle Launcher or SwipePad, both of which allow for launching apps without using the standard launcher.

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:

Let's start with some Wallpapers:

I'd love something like this that's compatible with adwEX and adw if possible. Maybe even get it to work with the aosp theme engine would be an even better idea (not so great for sense users). FYI I just beat portal 2 single player, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to play the coop with me but she hates video games lol.

I'm not seeing anything remotely interesting about the appearance of ICS. I along with most other people here, will just install our favourite Launcher, port across our current themes/set-ups, (or create new ones), and simply enjoy the under-the-bonnet improvements that ICS brings.
I'm not sure i like the blue highlights in the status bar for example, but again, everyone will just theme it to a colour they like. I'll be waiting to see what comes with Cyanogenmod and what Themes are included with it.
I totally agree with iphone fans that Android has, and probably always will, looked crap out of the box. It's strength is the ability to get creative and make it look good.
I am disappointed, UI looks like **** on these screenshots. I hope that it will be fast.

Just putting this out there, seeing what kind of responses I get. Im basing this entire theme off of the tablet os that was used in the movie Tron Legacy. Its during the boardroom scene at the beginning of the movie. I really wanted to bring it to life and use it myself. So I decided to create a theme for it since I know other people are tired of the extremely crappy Tron themes in the market. lol. As always please let me know your thoughts and ideas. If it will encourage more people to use it, then Ill try to add your ideas into the theme. So long as they are reasonable and go with the entire theme's style. Thanks in advance.
I will be putting this theme up for sale in the app store as soon as I get my account squared away. So keep your eyes peeled for an update to this thread.

I would love something like this. My phone currently is themed with neon blues and oranges, would love something that looks as clean as this. Not sure how in depth you're going to go with the GO launcher theme, but if you made themed icons for it that were blue and orange neon that would be beautiful. I love using GO launcher, but there are no icon sets for it besides what the themers put in their themes, and they're usually not very extensive, so i'm using adw launcher as a stand in so that my icons are fully themed too. Would love to be back on Go launcher with a clean theme in these colors
You can always use adw icons on go launcher. That's what I do.

Could you elaborate a bit? I know I could pull the .pngs out of the .apk of the icon set that I'm using and replace each icon one by one on my desktop and dock, but for the app drawer I would need to modify every single one of my app .apks. Is there a specific way that you know of that you can apply a whole icon set made for ADW to GO launcher in one simple step that I'm somehow missing? Specifically, I'm using a few icon sets made by Sonny Sekhon, as they have over 560 icons in each set, the most thorough themeing that I have seen.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Sorry, that was a bit succinct. No way to set all the icons unless you decompile a theme and replace the images (which I have before) or replace them one by one as you mentioned, which I do. I like go launcher so I just take the time to build to suit and download any theme and extract the images I like.
