Where do you guys get your icons? I'm not liking having to download icon packs from the Market since there is no way to preview them. Does anyone have a good source for me do check them out online before I download them?
Google images.
Type in what your looking for. You'll have to do some work to make the size and effect you want.

looking for some opinions on icons
here are some icons I have been making started out with blackberry bold icons but started to make icons so here are the ones I made some still are like the blackberry bold but made them more brighter looking for some ideas and good opinions but not to go to far from the design
i like them, simple and nice. what program are you using to make the icons?
Very nice, minimalistic and simple, yet stylish. Well done.
i like simple and clean and i have adobe photoshop elements i had for a good 10 years and i use paint.net and gimp but the icons i did in photoshop i have a hard time going to a new photoshop
I love those Icons, they make a nice interface for the phone.
nice nice.. need em.. lol
Love em. You need to make a theme using these. Preferably a completely dark theme so that the icons stand out a lot.
I like dark backgrounds and I have started a theme I hope to have it out by Saturday.so far I have gutting good replies but my concerns are which my faves icon do you think I should use and do you think the settings looks ok the way it is or do you think the gear needs to be bigger or I was thinking no gear and add a wrench. oh decisions ineed to make up for my stargate theme lol
I like the myFaves icon with the people, but I don't use myFaves at all so my opinion on that doesn't really matter xD
Which icon is the Settings one? The one that looks like a Toolbox? I think that you should make the icon for that either a wrench or gears, but honestly the toolbox will be good enough to identify it since there would be text underneath each icon.
<3 them kron. just waiting for you to release them
Very nice, very nice.
what size do the icon have to be 46x46????
48x48 is the icon size
Great icons! I like the "people" icon for my favs, they all look very nice. hurry up with this theme, lol.
Changing Market app icons?
Does any one know if you need to do anything special to repackage a market app icon? I tried changing an icon for cinema player and signed it with the test keys and it wont install. it says it installed but it isn't.
i would love to know as well
The market icon is in vending.apk
You added your icon to the music app close it, reopened it to make sure it saved it, then resigned it and I didnt work? If you are having trouble signing files try the Stericson signing made easy thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
I don't mean the market app, I mean apps from the market like cinema or shopsavy for example.
i get same error. I can change any of the app icons in the update.zip but when i extract an app with astro and update and sign, it wont install. I even tried the desktop install tool. No luck.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't you need access to that developers source code to do this.
I am trying to change the look of the default dock for the EVO. I have been able to change the background for it, but after a few hours of looking around for the XML file that controls the layout of the dock, I still can't find it. Any ideas where that specific file is? Also I am looking for this file so I can get rid of the word "phone", along with the plus and circle arrow icons. Am I going about this the right way by finding the XML file then alter it to get rid of the images/words?
Thanks in advanced!
If launcher pro is an option for you?
they have hundreds of docks, styles and show ways to make yours 100% custom for your needs. google LP and check out the web site forum under themes
My app is out of BETA! Version 1.0 is released to the market with a shiny new pack
------------
Hi everyone,
I finally decided that my app is functioning reasonably well so I have released a Beta version to the Play Store. You can find it here:
As I said, it's a very early version of my first app but the main features work. With the app you can:
EXCLUSIVE (for now): get access to my new icon pack, Galaxy!
EXCLUSIVE (for now): download the 4th Addon for Splash! and the 1st Addon for Light Edge Glow!
Download and extract any of my packs
See which icon is present in which packs (search)
Request icons directly from the app / Play Store - for priority treatment
Donate to me if you feel like I deserve it
For the future I plan to add some new features including (but not only):
Ability to request icons directly from the app [DONE - BETA 2]
Improved search visually [DONE - BETA 2]
"Help" screen with a mini-tutorial on how to use this app [DONE - BETA 2]
Graphic showing status: download, extracted [DONE - BETA 2 & 3]
See which icons a pack contains [DONA - BETA 3] - click on Pack name (Main, Addon, etc.)
Notifications of new packs available or new contents for existing packs [not really needed in the current form of the app]
Please let me know what you think about it, if you have some suggestions or if you're good at Android programming (because I have a looooot of questions that need answering and would always welcome some help )
Enjoy!
Great App
Love the app easy to use and loving the new Blue Flare icons changed everything on my phone to the blue ones straight away. Will you be taking icon requests for the Blue Flare set on this thread or when you add them to your other icon thread?

Haha, didn't think of that...
Please use the other thread. Mention Blue Flare and the Plays Store link to the app you need the icon for.
Thank you
Great App!
Thanks!
But I got some suggestions for it:
1. Downloading icons:
After the download I don´t see, which pack is already inside the folder or rather is already downloaded.
The same is for the extraction of packs. A flag would be great to see, which pack is already extracted.
Splash! Icons especially:
Thank for AddOn 3
But for Addon 2, it´s not extracted in the splash-subfolder (/sdcard/IPM/splash/) but in another folder inside ../splash/.. (/sdcard/IPM/splash/Addon 2/).
Addon 1 & 3 are extracted inside the main - splash-folder.
Donation:
Will there a possibility to donate via play? Or just via paypal?
Future App suggestions:
Let the user choose the folder to extract the icons - nice to have - but not essential
Thats for the moment
Thank you for your feedback.
The idea with the flags is good. Will implement sth for the next update.
The issue with Splash_Addon_2 was with the zip file actually (it had the folder inside). I fixed it already.
As for donation, for now I will only have PayPal as an option but maybe in the future I will include some sort of in app purchase through the Play Store.
Finally, I don't think I will give the option to save anywhere the user wants because I would have to store that option somewhere and use the path for extraction and any other operations and it can get messy

I never used Apex but I think it has the option to change the icons for the apps shown on your Home Screens. Probably something like long-press on an icon and then an option to change it should appear.
Then simply browse to the /IPM/<Icon Pack Name> folder on your SD Card and from there select the icon.
Unfortunately this has to be done manually for every app on your Home Screens that you want to change.
I will (eventually) create ADW icon packs and then it will be a bit easier but it may take a while.
Let me know if you got it to work.
Good luck!
BETA 2 is out!
Hi everyone,
I just updated IPM to version BETA 2. I improved some stuff, added some stuff...
Added an on-screen menu.
Removed the Options Menu.
Improved the way Search looks.
Added a "How-to" explaining how to use this app and the icons.
Added notification messages for events like archive already downloaded, extracted.
Added a "status bar" to the Download buttons: white = not downloaded, green = downloaded
Added a "Request" option to let you ask for icons directly from the app. Instructions are in the Help section.
Still working on features and planning 1 or 2 new icon packs.
Please let me know what you think or if you have comments/questions
Requests?
I was wondering if you would like to see some specific feature(s) added to this app. What else would you like it to do?
Also, just a thought, any other icon designers out there who would be interested in having their packs included in this app? I am not saying I will do this soon, nor do I know if I actually want to do it. I was just curious if anyone would be interested in such a thing.
PS: Thanks to all of you who downloaded this! I have almost 400 downloads
Version 1.0
Version 1.0 just got released to the market. Expect a shiny new pack
I am not sure if this is in the right spot but it said Q&A so thinking its a good place to start. I am looking to find out if I can change the status bar icons to be colors. I amd running [JB:CM10:HYBRID][OFFICIAL]ParanoidAndroid 2.55 for T989[18 Nov 2012] (Love it btw) so I guess the best way to word this is I use go sms pro for txting and the icon that comes up when I get a txt is a very nice noticable green color and I know I have a txt in a quick glance, I also have the facebook app and when I get a notice from facebook its a white and so are my mail and all the other icons so it is hard tell the diffrents between them. so I was wonding if there was a way to change this or if there is a mod for it. if anyone needs more info I am happy to post it. Thank you
If you would like to modify some of the notification bar icons you would have to modify some images in the system framework of your phone which would be difficult if it's your first time.
The easier way to change them, is that since you're using a CM10 ROM you can try out some CM10 Themes from the Play Store. Click here to view all of the available themes.
All the themes will help you change the overall look of your phone, that includes the notification icons. You will just need to apply the themes with the Theme Chooser application. Cheers!
Hi I was wondering where do you download things like dialers,boot animations ect for your themes?I see there's a part in themes that lets you build your theme choosing messaging,boot animations,dialer and so on but each has 1 in the selection part so there must be a way to add others to it does anyone know how or where to get the items?I've searched the theme store but can't find any ....many thanks.

Just install a few themes and you'll get different things that comes with them...
I suggest Azyteck-Line Ui for boot animation and lock screen...P_4 Dark for status bar and icons...
When you install them, go to My themes and change what ever you want.
