With the release of Android L, there are many new Android icon packs to download to get the best theme for your Android device. The great thing is that these icon packs allow you to customize the theme to the way you want it to look. Downloading the Android icon packs is very easy, but selecting the best Android icon packs is much harder.
A majority of these icon packs are available on Android Lollipop and Kitkat. You can download these Android icon packs in the Google Play store. In this review of the best icon packs for Android operating system, there are screenshots of each of the different types of themes.
The following is a list of the best Android icon packs you can download in the Google Play store:
Etched Material Design
Etched is a icon pack that if focused with a Material Design theme. This icon pack is clean, simple, and uses the traditional Android colors. It should work with almost any setup, especially muted wallpapers that need some color in their day.

Tenuix
Tenuix focuses on an easter egg type of design for it’s Android icon pack. The designer is calling it a “delicate” palette of colors, which I agree is much lighter than the stock colors we often see. It’s kind of refreshing actually. Each icon is round, with a white border surrounding the icon design. You will see soft purples, blues, and greens, which might be a great move as many of us head into a dark and dreary Fall/Winter.
There are over 800 icons in the pack, 22 HD wallpapers, icon masking, and will work with many of your favorite launchers.
