Wow these are really nice

The only thing I would suggest is for the phone icons to put the camera grabber from 5.1.1 and have the current one as an alt for 5.0.1 devices. Other than that they look amazing.

I think that the pencil in the Notes icon feels out of place because there's no indication of writing on the icon.

I would ditch the pencil, and try to make an icon with a page being torn out, mid-tear.

I think a pin would suit the Photos icon better than that tape.

1) but normally you write notes

2) nice idea about the "page being torn out, mid-tear", will maybe do an alt
3) yeah, i thought about this too

thank you for your advices

The Photo icons looks a little pixelated imo.
But nice work so far,keep them coming.
Let's hope that you have time to complete the set.

On the phone icon, try getting rid of the lines above and below the camera icon and just leave the camera. It looks too busy and you probably won't be able to make out the lines on the device anyway.

I agree with this, I think your icons look great though! Maybe do an alt with a pin? Or even like a picture on paper with the wood as the frame

The needle shouldn't be visible! Also, maybe move the blue pin closer to the middle, and change it's angle.

I think that looks better.

Just take into account the way the photos would rest if the pins were placed in a certain position in real life.

Also, I don't think that font goes with the theme name. It depends on what approach you're taking with this. Reconsider the theme name!

This may be a bit tricky, but I think a smudged note, with a pencil erasing something that looks more hand-written, would be perfect.
