Due to repeated requests in more emails than I can handle, I have decided to share my work in a thread of my own alongside my tumblr account.

+ FAQ - Read Me First

I make a point of it to produce high resolution work that is completely scaleable so be sure to always play with your launcher's Icon Size features for homescreen, dock, folder & appdrawer and scale the icons to suit your preference
If you aren't using either Apex or Nova, you really should be.

+ Questions or Requests: You'll have a much better chance hitting me with an email or PM, haha--I'm hardly ever on xda for long.

+ Donate Work / Why Not Google Play?
Any icontheme apks you don't find via the links in OP are donate work--about once in every 5 freebies I get the whacky idea of releasing something for $1.50
If you like my work, feel free to purchase some of the donate stuff or simply donate using the button under the avatar. For purchases send email or simply PM me here for info--that's what that feature is for after all!


+ Most importantly, enjoy the freebies and be sure to give feedback!
Also, please do not post mirrors of my uploads.

ALL DOWNLOADS ARE HERE

+ Special Thanks:


  • my buddy @bagarwa for helping me first figure out Eclipse and translating my designs into an icontheme apk--without his help we all would've had to endure my zips much longer, haha. Check him out - GPlus | GPlay
  • my good pal Jeppe aka @blackbearblanc for contributing over 50 base icons for my utility iconsets. Check him out - GPlus | tumblr | GPlay
  • the highly talented Ryan aka @manic_nimrod for contributing over 50 more icon bases for my utility iconsets. Check him out website | GPlay | twitter


Now how about I set this off with some of my older iconsets--look around for more recent work

Vintage beer caps by request. Play around with Apex/Nova iconsizing feature and get the look you want.
After the weekend I shall be uploading updated versions for all iconsets--quite a few icons added. If you'd like to see any icons supported now would be the time

+ If you have any requests of your own msg me (PM) or email me if you don't do that already, haha. Enjoy!

Another free utility iconset--comes in 4 Google colors as specified by the lil lady that requested these, and standard gray for the boys. Recommend a light homescreen setup for these but you all know what you're doing

Considering making a matching apps iconset out of this as well, and having it be my first attempt at an icontheme apk. Will see after the weekend

Don't see a download link for "gauges"? Great work tho!

Gauges are paid work chum check tumblr for details.
Also I'll get right on adding your requests--I've personally just been using the launcher icons (Nova Icon for Nova drawer etc) for appdrawer as I find the standard drawer icon pretty ugly, haha. But I shall add it toute suite

Another request.. xda :D

Man cut the requests bit I can do you one better, haha--as promised I've finally gotten around to scrapping zips and will be starting to distribute iconsets in apk form instead. One click themes all by popular request
I want to thank my buddy bagarwa around the forums for his helping me find my feet using Eclipse; without his help I'd probably still be a week or so from figuring it all out, haha. Anyhow without further ado I decided my first apks should be the iconsets that netted me the most please do iconsets in apk form already plz msgs--will most definitely be converting the others in the coming days, in the meantime make do with the iconzips :p

+ Check OP for downloads and be sure to let me know how they work for you!

Thanks for the apk sets! They are much easier to use than zips! You're work is fresh and unique! Can't wait to see what else you come up with! :D Great job!

Thanks for the kind words boys & girls Vintage Frames & 70's Stamps are now available in apk form as well

Don't worry about my requests. The apk set covered them all. The only thing I noticed with the set (using apex), if i try to edit just 1 icon, when I click the soundproof set (did it for glass cut too tho), it doesnt show anything.

Yeah this was actually done on purpose; I want to keep the apk footprint of each of my apps as microscopic as possible (under 400kb each!) out of consideration for users without expandable storage, and the general consensus is pretty agreeable. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by editing just one icon, but wouldn't simply drag & dropping a single app from apptray do the trick of getting a lone themed icon on your screen?


Made a set of icons to match the utility set I made the other day then wound up throwing together a quick homescreen setup to match that, haha
Built my own set of BBB-style slidebar uccws and a picture frame clock from scratch--let me know if you'd like me to share the frameclock ;)

    Yes please, I'm sure that would be awesome just like everything else you make!
    What non-rooted folks Bro?
    Crack flashing is what's up! Lolz

    It's hilarious but quite a percentage of folks following on tumblr/watching on DeviantArt (my main sources of traffic!) are terrified of it, haha--not on xda of course since signing up on this site is pretty much rooting your device but still, I am considering it & after your input boyo I just might once this job is over

    I made this iconset primarily as a visual aid for something I'm attempting to help my good buddy @King Rollo with, but it's certainly available for launcher use as well. Very minimal very Turner Classic Movies etc
    + Donates: kindly check out Downloads link in OP>tumblr-faq.jpg for updated info on donating--enjoy

    Taking a break from requests as they all seem to be for donate work, haha
    Video game fans: here's a utility iconzip in the style of modern field rations; high-impact polymethyl methacrylate canisters fully inspired by the story of Konami's toughest fictional hard man

    Matching IGN-style 3D newsbar uccw with micro dock, clock & a customizable hotspot for your favorite news app

    Here's a neat little freebie--utility icons for any minimal homescreen. I suggest using lots of color to take advantage of the extensive tweaking to presence vs transparency
    If these icons happen to be a hit with you let me know and I'll put together a free matching icontheme apk ;)

    And here's a request from my good buddy Geordie the Tron fan. Personally I think the movie blows harder than any species of whale out there, haha
    Check tumblr or PM/email for info on getting this apk!
