..:: X2K2's Tiles Icons ::..​

- 220 icons so far (Covers pretty much everything you need, always room for more though)

- Designed for 800x480 screens (Tested on Samsung Galaxy S)

- Designed for 5 rows / 4 columns homescreen setup (LauncherPro or ADW) (Otherwise the layout gets screwed!)

- Designed to be used with Notification bar (Otherwise the layout gets screwed!)

- To be applied with Desktop Visualizer (Can be found on the Market for free)

- Includes various tiles (1x1, 1x2, 2x1, 3x1, 4x1)

- Several versions for each icon

- Clean look, no icon names

- No resizing required (No need for LauchnerPro Plus)

- Precisely measured

- Source pictures grabbed from various places (Props to the original creators!)

- Inspired by Windows Phone 7

Resolutions used

1x1 = 110x122px

1x2 = 115x264px

2x1 = 230x124px

3x1 = 355x124px

4x1 = 475x124px

More versions might follow

Spacing between icons horizontal/vertical = 10px

HowTo

Select the Desktop Visualizer widget size you want to use, then the matching icon size.

For 1x1 icons select Desktop Visualizer (Small).

In Desktop Visualizer remove the icon label and set touch effect to none for the best look.

Things noticed while playing around with different icon sizes

Creating the perfect look with tiles is quite tricky. Exact pixel "mathematics" don't really work out with the different widget sizes.

According to some calcualting I did, the icon sizes should be different, than what they finally turned out to be.

For example the width for the 4x1 icon is 470px, even though the raw image size is 475px.

But when actually using 470px as raw image size, the spacing between the tiles gets reduced to 8px, instead of 10px.

I actually did several drawings on plain old paper to determine the pixel sizes for all icons.

But it turned out to be another case of theory VS praxis. So in the end, these are the icon sizes that work out perfectly in real life.

I haven't tested several configurations, like a homescreen with only 1x1 icons. That's what the end user will have to do.

And that's why I need some feedback on your different configurations. :)

[Android Themes] BeatB:
thank you for this awesome work. really appreaciate it.

will try them out when i have time.
[Android Themes] vassilbg:
Great share, thank you!
[Android Themes] xero2002:
I see you have edited your post.

Previously you asked for making these fit on a Droid X.

It's screen has 54 more vertical pixels and since I didn't keep all the sources, I cannot create matching icons without going through a crapload of work.

Just resizing the current ones would lower the quality and if you don't wanna lose aspect ratio, then you'd also gain width, not just height.

So I gotta go with no, it was meant for 800x480 and I'm stickin' to that.

Bit busy right now, but hoping to have more finished soon.

PS: Added a fixed V4.1 + previews, so you can see what's in it. :)
[Android Themes] Hullie NL:
Very nice icons !

Are you planning to make xbox live icons :D

Keep it up
[Android Themes] fatexo:
Nice work, liked em..

can u make it for a screen with 320x480 pixels ??

Xperia X8. :)
[Android Themes] telmoabff:
Any chance of icons for 480 x 854?
[Android Themes] bazinga:
What icons and theme are you using for LP?
[Android Themes] ndavidetnt:
great, thanks for sharing
[Android Themes] ZiDroid:
Great,,

Thanks for your shared...:)
[Android Themes] Matc21:
Wow, thanks. Will try this out.

Can you upload/explain your Launcherpro Icons too?

And whats the name of the date/weather-widget?
[Android Themes] jflexe99:
I can't get it to work properly... :( I suck

Oh wait...nevermind :)
[Android Themes] nazrazr:
so how can i apply this to my phone??? do i need to download any files first before i can apply this icon??? i am really interested right now!!!!
[Android Themes] Lukehluke:
Great icons.

Keep up the good work :)
[Android Themes] bazinga:
desktop visualizer and ADW or LP
[Android Themes] kadjar:
Particular settings?

Fairly new to android, and I had a couple of quick questions:

1. Can you install this as an icon pack for DVR? If so, how?

2. What weather/time widget are you using?

3. What theme are you using, and ADW or LP?

Thank you!
[Android Themes] mewko1502:
thank you very much

but do you have the icon for your docks too??
[Android Themes] John_Q:
Thank you very much. This helps out a lot also here's a nice camera icon you might want to add if plan to do a update.
[Android Themes] nndosi:
Random question, but where did you get the date / weather to be minimalist text? I know the app Clockr, but that only does time...can somebody pm or reply with how to get this? It looks absolutely awesome.
[Android Themes] NellyG:
Very good work. Any future icons for Google talk?
[Android Themes] iynfynity:
can you make a twitter icon?
[Android Themes] ugly pete:
thanks. i like!
[Android Themes] Gerald.W:
Nice work. Here is my new home screen:

http://i.imgur.com/NYAWE.jpg
[Android Themes] lamensterms:
im getting similar results to Gerald.W... how do i minimise the gap between tiles?
[Android Themes] xero2002:
OK, to answer a couple of questions. :)

The weather widget is called "TxWthr" by kemonozume and can be found here.

For LauncherPro I set the dock background to none, that can be done in the options.

LP settings -> Appearance settings -> Dock background -> none

The icons I'm using for the dock are called TallMin icons.

I use the plain white version but I've packed all of them into a zip. Link

And here's the arrow I use for the app drawer. Link

To minimize gaps use a 5 row setup for LauncherPro.

Go into LP settings -> Homescreen settings -> Number of rows = 5 (columns stay at 4)

It's not an icon pack for DVR. Instead on your Homescreen select widgets -> DVR icon size you want -> Select icon matching the widget size you just selected -> Select matching action -> No label and touch effect none.

Not sure if I will make icons for other screen resolutions, first I want to make this pack more complete. I don't have other devices to test on. As explain in OP, it's quite tricky to get it all perfect looking.
[Android Themes] erych:
how did you make the notification bar all black ? etc...
[Android Themes] dark13:
thanks xero2002, nice work!
[Android Themes] derhannes1983:
Sorry for posting it in 2 threads, but I think it fits in better in this thread ;)

Customs tiles I used in my theme I made myself
[Android Themes] Neffstarr:

[Android Themes] nobloat:

[Android Themes] mumbaimerijaan:
Hi, how do I make this work for Desire with Froyo n Sense, ADW and LP dont work on Sense?
[Android Themes] nndosi:
Thanks for the links to the weather widgets...looks awesome.

I do have another question - and it may be a stupid one - I've downloaded icons from this thread and others for the homescreen widgets and dock icons, and have LP working...but DV and LP don't recognize the image files on my phone (in fact, android doesn't even add it to my gallery application). Is this because I'm running Android on my HD2? Is there any way to get those icon files recognized so I can customize my home screen and my dock?
[Android Themes] xero2002:
They do, but I believe you will lose Sense.

Just like Galaxy S users lose TouchWiz when using LP or ADW.

I don't think this will mean that you also lose your Sense widget.

Not sure though, as I don't own a Sense device.

@nndosi

They are normal JPGs, but I don't know about the HD2 modded to Android.

Since it's actually a Win Mobile device.

Do you have trouble recognizing other JPGs?
[Android Themes] nndosi:
Im trying to unzip the file on my android...maybe I need to transfer the jpegs from my computer...the zip file doesn't unzipped as jpegs for me...even when ive unzipped other files on my device...
[Android Themes] Lamar720:
LPP has a nice sense type widget you will not be missing anything.

You just need to reload the gallery I had to clear cache for gallery than reboot it a min to load up in the gallery as it is alot of pictures
[Android Themes] sanderziugov:
I really like your icon but I'm also interested if you could to some more, like MSN, memo, Foursquare, Endomondo and Skype.
[Android Themes] nndosi:
Reloaded the gallery and icons that I've downloaded from other sources came up...but the zip file I downloaded from this thread doesn't unzip into multiple jpegs...even when I've unzipped other files on my phone successfully...
[Android Themes] Lamar720:
Use Androzip, I had the same problem with them with I downloaded them.
[Android Themes] lamensterms:
hey guys, can you please explain what clock, date, weather and agenda widgets your using?

thanks a lot.
[Android Themes] mumbaimerijaan:
I got the same issue using UnZip app. Long press on the zip file, and when it shows the extract to options, select the last option [contains the file name] and it will be unzipped properly.
[Android Themes] brancuff:
quick question how do i install it? i dont get how i do it with desktop Visualizer
[Android Themes] flamin_ICE:
done without any launcher, just used desktop visualiser on unrooted SGS with froyo.

played around with icon aspect ratios.
[Android Themes] derhannes1983:

[Android Themes] nazrazr:
i am using launcher pro on samsung galaxy s and try to fit all the icons on my screnn....on horizontol the icons place nice next to each other but on the vertical the icon have a big gap between the above and below icon....someone know how to fix it cause i believe the screenshot given by X2K2 is also a galaxy s?????
[Android Themes] xero2002:
It's a 5 row homescreen setup. :)

As explained in my previous post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9373448&postcount=31

There you can also find the answer to the PM you just sent me. :)

Edit: @erych

I have modded my framework-res.apk with UOT Kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/
[Android Themes] flatchicken:
I'm guessing that's because you have only 4 rows set in Launcher pro, instead of 5. And all the icons and were made for 4 columns by 5 rows.

Menu on any home screen -> Preferences (for Launcher Pro) -> Advanced settings -> enable "5 Icon rows in homescreen"
[Android Themes] nazrazr:
thanx guys..............!!!!!
[Android Themes] flatchicken:
I've made few icons myself, either because xero2002's were too bright for my liking or there wasn't a right size.

If you xero2002 think they're any good, you can include them in your next pack, I wont mind :)
[Android Themes] celljunkie707:
figured it out. plz delete
[Android Themes] lamensterms:
awesome, thanks heaps man. very nice layouts.

[Android Themes] ags29:
These are great. Is it possible you could post up the app drawer triangle ^ icon? I cannot find it anywhere.
[Android Themes] Matc21:
You find the triangle here.

Thanks a lot X2K2, I really enjoy your work and thanks for answering my questions.
[Android Themes] ManUtd07:
X2K2, love the icons and appreciate the work. Did you just use hi-res icons from the web, or did you do any rendering after the fact. I would like to create some of my own personal icons, but they aren't as "sharp" as the ones you provided. Could you lend some help? Thanks again for your work and inspiration!
[Android Themes] stoffel2k5:
Awesome!

Mehr als Geil! Hab schon viele Desktop Lösungen gesehen aber de is da Hammer!
[Android Themes] xero2002:
@ManUtd07

All images were simply grabbed from the web.

That's why all credits have to go to the original photographers.

You can say that I merely had the eye to see which part of a picture would look good as an icon.

Not always based on high-res pictures, but always of pictures with great quality.

Always cut, resized and saved at the best possible JPG quality.

A lot of sources for these can be found on deviantart.com.

Lately I haven't had much time to do more. I'm also working on a mate's website.

When done I will concentrate on the next pack.
[Android Themes] Ruckzuck78:
Hey this is a really great collection you have there created many thanks
[Android Themes] siimot:
Thank you, great icons :)
[Android Themes] ManUtd07:
@X2K2,

Thanks for the response and again, thanks for the great work. Look forward to the next batch!
[Android Themes] siimot:
Made a couple of new icons, if anyone wants any let me know

New camera, market and facebook on homepage

Alarm, Flashlight, radio, Maps, Navigation and youtube for second... obscure pictures but i know what they open lol
[Android Themes] TheDoctor1177:
As much as I want to try to make a set up with these icons, it would be pointless on my Droid Eris wouldn't it?
[Android Themes] TheDoctor1177:
To answer my own question, yes. lol Maybe a version for phones with smaller screens....maybe;)

Thanks for your work.
[Android Themes] ans1215:
so if i read correctly i need to save these icons to the phone and unzip them on the phone and use desktop visualizer and lancherpro which i have both of those programs, but i think i missed which folder do i need to unzip these too on the phone, and as far as the minimalist icons for the dock bar can i just use launcherpro and i do i save those in the same place as your icons?
[Android Themes] xero2002:
No specific paths are required.

I just have these on my internal memory as subfolders of subfolders within my pictures folder.

In my pictures folder I have subfolders for wallpapers, docks, icons etc...

Basically just unzip it to some place where you can easily find it. ;)

In Desktop Visualizer just create a widget, link it to an app and navigate to the matching icon. That's all. It's not an icon pack or anything like that.

All needs to be applied manually.

Same goes for the launcher icons. (These are NOT mine, if anyone was thinking that.)
[Android Themes] Master_sk3:
Do you have to flash this or is it a .apk install?
[Android Themes] ucla:
I contribute also

Geil !!

Congratulations ....
[Android Themes] xero2002:
None of the above.

It's just a zip with a bunch of icons inside.

Just extract to your image folder on your phone.

Rest is explained in the first topic.
[Android Themes] specialex:
thx man, this is what im looking for :D
[Android Themes] aznzzboi:
How do you make the icons size 4x1???

All i'm ending up making is 1x1
[Android Themes] xero2002:
Just select 4x1 in desktop visualizer and select the matching 4x1 icon. That's all you should have to do. Always select a widget that matches the icon size! And remember using a 5 row and 4 columns desktop in your launcher.
[Android Themes] timrock:
i just downloaded the zip file, extracted the folder and moved it to my sd card. it doesnt show up in my gallery. i tried moving to th dcim folder also, nothing.

disregard, i renamed the folder to X2K2 and it became visible. odd.
[Android Themes] closedchannel:
does anyone know what size ill need to resize the tiles so that it works with 480x854?
[Android Themes] xero2002:
It's easy to test if you just create a bunch of white icons, then take screenshots and measure it with pixel accuracy in your favorite image editor.
[Android Themes] do0fusz:
how do you call the 'written' bottom labels

Also, what size should I pick in order to fit my milestone? Previously I was unable to get rid of the gaps.
[Android Themes] kwokkwok168:

[Android Themes] akanishilin:
Awesome.

Thank you.
[Android Themes] xero2002:
Milestone has a 854x480 screen.

So there is no way to get these icons fit perfectly without manually resizing them all.

Good luck with that, it's a pain in the ass.

Edit: I know there hasn't been an update in almost a month, but I just haven't had the time.

But I will update it at some point.

will this work on ADW EX? most of the comments is using LP.. im having trouble with the icon size.. even if i select 4x1 icon it remained like 1x1 common icon with resize very small icon.. i cant find the option in desktop visualiser to choose 4x1 like xero2002 said in post 76..

Maybe I don't read enough EULAs, but this turned me off the Desktop Visualizer app... Probably blockable with DroidWall, but still.

Yes it does work......use DVR to add tiles.......the 4×1 is there when u tap and hold the screen
[Android Themes] Darkdreamers:

THANK YOU for figuring out the pixel count for these. I was banging my head against a wall trying to do the math (as you say, it's not actually logical.)

Would love a 1x3 option or the grid reworked to include a hidden notification bar, but considering the frustration you must have gone through getting these numbers, gotta say thanks either way. :)

[Android Themes] Doctor_Virus:
Hey guys,

i might need a little help. I downloaded the zip and un-zipped it on my computer. Then i putted alle the images into a folder on my Android. They appear in the gallery as they should.

I have "Launcher Pro Plus" (so i actually can edit the widget-sizes). I put the homescreens on 5 rows and 4 columns.

Now when i pick a DVR-widget in the right size f.e. 4x1 and then i chose the icon and then further the application to start, it won't happen a thing. :confused:

In german it says "Konnte Verknüpfung oder Widget zu erstellen" (which btw doesn't make any sense at all, but nevertheless ...).

The widget is there, but without the icon and without any function.

Any clue what to do ?

[Android Themes] fergie716:
Each of the images are labeled by their respective size if your using desktop visualizer's widget option

If the icon starts with "1x2" select the "1x2" desktop viz widget.

[Android Themes] sah0724:
HowTo

Select the Desktop Visualizer widget size you want to use, then the matching icon size.

For 1x1 icons select Desktop Visualizer (Small).

In Desktop Visualizer remove the icon label and set touch effect to none for the best look.

I don't have the option to pick a size when I run this program. I don't know what's really going on but I might just give up and stick to something easier to deal with like a Iphone or something.

I'm not very technical at all.
[Android Themes] xero2002:
You're not supposed to run the program.

You're supposed to use it from within the widgets menu.

Long press your desktop, select Widgets, then select the desired widget size.

The configure the widget by the instructions given in the first post.
[Android Themes] sah0724:
Thank you, I think I got it now.
