Android Customization: Top 5 icon packs to get you started

Android Customization: Top 5 icon packs to get you started





Android customization has always been a badge of honor worn by fans of Google’s OS. And there are seemingly infinite ways to tweak and customize the experience exactly to one’s liking—not something easily achieved in other ecosystems. So where does one start when beginning the customizing journey? Well, here’s a good place to begin. And once you’ve done that, there are also many, many great icon packs out there that’ll help you achieve the exact look that you want.
As handsome and functional as Android Lollipop might be, the bright, flat look doesn’t appeal to everyone. And there’s just something about tweaking an OS to reflect your unique personality. Maybe you want more rounded icons, or maybe you want something more transparent. Hey, there’s something for everyone, which is such a big draw of Android in the first place.
Like everything Android, the video above in no way encompasses the breadth of what the ecosystem has to offer. There’s a very good chance we left some great icons pack out, in which case you should tell us your favorites in the comments down below. We’ve included a list of the icon packs mentioned in the video, along with direct links to them in the Google Play store.
Do you have a favorite? We’d love to hear what you think. Combining a solid launcher with an icon pack can be a liberating experience, especially if you’re into customizing your device. These are just some of our favorites.

Huawei P30 release date

The Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro are set to be the next flagship smartphones from the Chinese brand, which has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro rivaled the likes of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, Pixel 3 XL and new iPhones, and the P30 duo (or potentially trio) will certainly have the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus in their sights. We say potentially trio, as Apple launched three new phones back in September, and Samsung did the same in February, so we wouldn't be surprised if Huawei followed suit with a new trio of its own under the P30 name. Huawei has even teased the arrival of the handsets, with a video posted on Twitter confirming the March 26 launch date for the "P30 series" - suggesting we'll definitely see more than one phone with the P30 name attached to it.

Apple on Tuesday released iOS 8.1.3, introducing a slew of new big fixes, enhancements and other new updates.

Samsung Note 5 Review

The Galaxy Note 5 is a big-screen dream machine for those looking to do more with their phones. It packs a powerful octa-core Exynos processor and a long-lasting battery, but what sets this phablet apart is its enhanced S Pen, which lets you take notes even when the display is off. Starting at a somewhat steep $700 for the 32GB version (or $29.99 a month), the Note 5 also sports the same elegant, glass-and-metal styling as the even more premium S6 Edge Plus, but without the dual curved screen. Yes, the Note 5 loses the microSD card slot and replaceable battery found on the Note 4, but overall this phone is the king of productivity. Design: Better, but baby don't have a  (#removable) back NOTE 5 IS REAL The Note 5 looks more elegant than its predecessor. Samsung retired the notepad aesthetic, ditching the Note 4's faux-leather removable back in favor of a sealed glass enclosure. The rounded glass edges provided a surprisingly sturdy grip, while the alum...
