The Creative Commons outlines some rules regarding attributions here. Additionally here are some best practices.
Oftentimes, you can slip this kind of info into an "about" section within your app, being sure to link to the author or the license. There is an irony about this, however, considering the Creative Commons is supposed to be free for use. Basically, if you make money using the icons, link back to it. That will save you.
If you would like to get some icons, I have links to icons on my Material Design Resources post. (link in signature)
Thanks a lot man..appreciate your response. Anyways, I have created my own icons through Photoshop as I don't want to risk it

That's a safe bet. Oftentimes, I'll use a free icon pack as a reference point and then make them to look how I want.
Can we do it that way..cuz modifying a free icon doesn't give you the ownership right ??

I don't mean opening it in illustrator and moving a few points on the outline. I mean using it as a reference point as you would when drawing something i.e. the best way to draw a face is to look at faces.
As long as your icon doesn't clearly represent the original owner's work and they are notably different, there is no issue. :good:
You can check iconshock.com. I use icons from here.
Android Asset Studio is my go-to resource for any icon you need that doesn't need to be custom-tailored to your brand. Every Android dev should have that tab open in their browser at all times.
Just google flaticon site
Use maybe icon8 api
Check it out icons4android com
Ha ha. I even create an Icon using Autocad (design, fill gradient,... because i'm mechanical engineer), export it into *.npg and then go to https://pixlr.com/editor/ to convert it into blank background.
If you need icons to use within your application you really should be using this: https://design.google.com/icons/

Pretty much the best place to get free quality icons for Android. And they are pretty great about their license too. Here is what they say:
Feel free to use, remix, and re-share the icons in your products. The icons are available under the CC-BY license. We'd love attribution in your app's "about" screen, but it's not required. The only thing we ask is that you not re-sell the icons.

wow it looks so awesome i want it too :X!
I loved the concept of being able to place an app shortcut over each mushroom.
Simple...download the wallpaper then download minimalistic text from the android market and and create your own app shortcut with and place it over each mushroom. The dock is easy.
The other stuff like weather and days can also be made using minimalsitic text.
There are plenty of guides online with regards to using minimalsitic text.

☰ Meta Widget ☰ Create widgets from any website ☰ SCROLLABLE NEWS IMAGES ANYTHING ☰
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!

You need to pick an element that has a lot of relatives (ie - lists consist of elements that have the same use in a webpage). Then you need to click "use all as list".

We've been hard at work on a complete redesign of the XDA Forums and Portal. We wanted to build something that was clean, modern, fast, and that could manage to include a lot of useful functionality without feeling cluttered. While we're not finished with the new forum template, which we're calling "XDA 2015", we're close enough that XDA members that want to can use the new template and help us find bugs and other issues before we make it the default template for all users. :good: :good:
To see the new forum template click this link. You can always go back to the previous 2013 template (or any of our styles) with the style-picker in the bottom left corner of all forum pages.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be making many more changes to XDA 2015 to improve performance, readability, and functionality. We also have a few surprises coming that aren't ready just yet. :highfive:
This beta is only for the desktop version of the site, as the mobile template is not yet ready for testing. Please mention any bugs you find or requests you have in this thread.
Thanks really much but I can't see any area for participated?

Looking really great on Desktop - on Firefox and Chrome.
IE - looking very dodgy though - spaces and gaps all over the place.
Can use all browsers myself, but some corporate types might be stuck with IE.
Just a quick one (And this may be me as a noob to the new theme) but how can I tell which sub forums have unread messages in and which don't.
Here is an example of what I see when looking at the Z1 device subforum
http://prntscr.com/4jts0m
Some of those threads (Like accessories) have no unread threads in them but some do (Like general) but they look the same to me.
Once in a subforum I can tell http://prntscr.com/4jtsj8 (Arrows show read and unread thread)
Hope this helps

Good looking theme & layout. Are there plans afoot for an official "dark" version?
Great work!
I like the changes to the colours and to the style. Actually, I didn't expect it to feel familiar from the start but it did, good job!
One question, is there a way to hide the column at the right? I can't seem to find how. If not, I hope that you will implement it in the future.

Blue is the default chrome highlight color. I don't think we're going to override that for other drop downs because it adds more code to the page. We styled the critical areas (like the header and some post areas).

Sorry should have thought about that, Win 7 pro and IE 9 - (Business laptop and v10 and 11 are blocked from installing still - some dodgy internal issues.)
Home desktop runs 11 and that looks really awesome - so perhaps it's not something to be too concerned about!!!
Note: 'Control Panel' button was my favorite 'Home' button for xda - Is it gone permanently? I hope not!!
LOVE the size limit and scroll bars for signatures. +++++ 1000

Control panel has been renamed to Settings.
IE9 does not display a lot of styles correctly - did some website stuff myself a couple of months back on my personal site and the amount of hacks needed to support IE9 fully is unreal (especially with HTML5 and CSS3).
Some more questions/remarks:
The portal doesn't appear to have changed for me. Not sure if this is normal, but the OP mentions the portal as well.
Could some of the older icons also be redesigned (e.g.
, thread icons, smileys…)? Might be just me, but they don't look consistent with the rest of the design.
Some icons don't use a transparent background (e.g.
). This is only noticeable when the post gets highlighted, so it's pretty minor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php -> no sidebar, but the sidebar's space is reserved.
The spacing between the top bar (breadcrumbs) and the thread/post/group/profile is a bit off (screenshot — see red bar for spacing difference).

You could use a userstyle (with e.g. the Stylish addon):
CSS:
[user=2561130]@Namespace[/user] url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
[user=2410755]@-Moz-[/user]document domain("xda-developers.com"){
#sidepanel {display: none!important}
.page {margin-right: 18px!important}
}

Thanks for this. To address some issues:
1. Portal redesign is in development and will launch when 2015 forum design is complete
2. Yes, we intend to do something about the post icons
3. Noted that sidebar is missing from /subscription.php
4. Regarding the spacing issue, can you provide URL to the page?

Avatars also seem to be taking a lot of space in group threads.
This is great! I feel like I'm the captain in charge of a spaceship. It's a lot more immersive with the new top bar. I did notice that my signature has a scroll bar. I didn't think it was that long, but it's a great idea to keep from having to scroll through some pretty massive sigs. Now where'd that pesky Thanks button go? Oh on the right...
I am on mobile now, but this is what I see.
Using chrome and request desktop site is checked. Without desktop being checked, its worse.
I can't wait to see it on my PC.
+1 for 1024 version for lappy.

How about the possibility of changing theme to the old one on the XDA portal? I'd like to change it to the old theme and layout, but there is no way to do that. I'd be fine with the new look if there would be a dark skin, but we're forced to use the default white theme. It would be nice if we could change that.
Another thing I don't like is that when u switch to the new xda forum look the quick links tab is gone, so there's no way to QUICKLY view all subscribed threads like it was possible before. That's pretty annoying...
I also found out that on the latest up-to-date chrome you can't press multi-quote. Well, you can, but it doesn't get selected like if you wouldn't press it. Thanks button works fine though. I'm talking about the new design.
Regarding the Chrome / multi-quote issue, it works fine for me using the latest Chrome.

You can view subscribed, unread threads by clicking on "Settings" (which I think should be renamed to something better). If you want all subscriptions (even unread ones), then you're correct.

I'd love to see your userstyle. Especially for the old design as the lack of userstyle for the new xda portal is something that made me switch from your forum black version to the XDA 2015 theme.
Well, yeah, before you could view both read and unread subscribed threads, now you can't.
Does the portal not have a way to submit news tips now ?
I have an issue that I think needs to become known by all who support independent developers on Google Play.
Basically, Google's way to dealing with the EU VAT changes mean my income is dropping about 20%. (It isn't a great income to start with, despite my long hours of work.)

I really use the website a lot, but unfortunately the mobile version is working awful...
For example, the XDA Portal Posts are very ugly positioned on mobile phone screens. you can't scroll a little bit to the right and there are advertisements and so on..
I can continue this way, but I think you might notice my point. The mobile orientated css is awful right now (in my opinion) and (in my opinion) needs to be changed.
XDA, you càn do it! I know that!
There's a feedback/recommendation thread for such suggestions, which can be found here:

I do not bother with the newer xda themes, stay with 2010!!!
Also use a browser like Atlas (set to 175% screen) that can force desktop.
Then fall back to Chrome or NoChromo for editing.
Set xda options set to view threads linear, newest first. Then on a long thread, once you read the newest, change the drop down to hybrid to see the Op. Then switch as needed.
This is so you do not have to press that tiny little button to view the latest post in 2010 theme.
Why not use the app?
