A new Pie build must have leaked. We now get to see the new icon design language. Unfortunately, say goodbye to the Samsung Squircle we all love and say hello to more generic-looking icons. It's awful. Seriously. Ugh. They now have a shape like every iOS wannabe ROMs from the likes of Huawei, Xiaomi and the 3 BBK junks.

I hope this will be reversed. Or at least that some US Members will complain a lot about it so that the design gets reversed during the beta before we all get to endure it.

At least bring back the Squircle. That was very distinctive and it looked good.

BTW y'all can sideload Pie APKs. Sideloading protection seems to be tuned off for now.

Works with all Pie APKs with the new and worsen icons.

Don't get your hopes up. On all other APKs sideloading still doesn't work

boo lol you're right, I got the new email, internet, and calculator. I really like the email look!
I'm a fan of the new look but like you said if it has an option for the people that dont like it that would be good too

Everything can still change radically. The icons is a very recent change. This is why I hope US citizens that will be on the BETA at least raise something similar to my concerns

I have to say that the new icons are terrible. The icons we have now are amazing

Also there's this. See this? No? Well that's normal. There's nothing wrong here. Small, stylish rounded corners. Why can't it be like this instead of those roundabouts we got on Pie.6325090d-0782-4f27-b71f-ba4b10489096.jpg

Not too sure I like the new calculator, but the email and Notes is pretty decent. The icons remind me of Squircle but no biggie because I use icon packs/themes.
