Is anyone else annoyed by the lollipop Phone icon?

[BluBrett]

I'm grateful Motorola got Lollipop out to us so fast, but I don't understand why they decided to change the stock Lollipop phone icon to the KitKat icon that doesn't match any of the other material design icons. Example:

Motorola's:



Google's:



Nitpicking and easy to change as I've already done, but it doesn't make sense that they'd go through all the trouble to change the material design icon to the mismatched KitKat icon.

The new icon looks more like the handset on some electronic telephones. The old one looked like a G handset - which is older than most people posting here.

Still haven't got Lollipop upgrade, but I like it and definitely fits the new design

I'm more annoyed by the sound bug, the GN Launcher lag and crashing bug, the Moto Voice crash bug and the interruption of access for non-PIN/PW locked devices (swipe to unlock only) which doesn't always take you to the home screens but, instead, to the 5.0 unlock screen (from the Moto unlock screen).

So, no, the shape of an icon is the least of my concerns.

YES! that is the one thing I hope they fix in the next update.

Doesn't bother me, I rather like it.

How did you replace the icon again? Do you need to use another launcher (if so, which)? I'd like to retain the stock appearance.

No lollipop for me yet on my Motorola...I'm thinking sometime early next year.

None for me either on AT&T but I'm patient. I'm getting lots of tips from the folks here who have already gotten it.

Jesus, talk about 1st world problems. Come on guys, get a grip, it's a fricking icon!

 

[marka87uk]

Thanks, shame that requires root. I'll stick with what I've got!

I'm not really annoyed by it. It doesn't matter to me. It could be a little be better lol

Still not got it for Moto G2, but that sort of thing would drive me mad! They better fix that in a future update, preferably before my phone updates

Really? Everything is still in the same place. The style of the UI is the only thing that changed. There isn't really much to relearn.

Don't bothered by new icon but not happy that old messenger is stuck around.
