It's one of the default wallpapers in Polycon

To show him some of the customization, I'd recommend downloading Nova launcher (or another launcher if you'd like) and installing a different icon pack. I think polycon is a good choice with material design influences to replace Touchwiz's icons (aka what most people think Android phones look like.) You don't even have to make it look all nice and professional. You can maybe even get a themed icon pack based on some series or video game he likes, for example. Make his phone look like it's from Evangelion, or something

Glad everyone enjoyed my last setup, so I've made a new wallpaper and changed the icon pack to freshen things up a little.
- Icon pack: Polycons
- Launcher: Nova Launcher (Free version, still not enough google play rewards haha)
- Wallpaper: Here you go
- Device: Nexus 6P
It's polycon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thearclabs.polycon
And the app drawer button is from candycons : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zavukodlak.candycons
Another awesome free packs, and IMO betters:
This does not have any sources as the icons are used for personal preference and not actually for the theme, the background things are all random stock images.
If sources for icons are needed than
Also holy shit my notifications lol
This isn't meant to be my permanent thing, just something I had an idea for.

That one is really nice! :D I don't know if you ever tried it, but: Polygon is great too in that kind of style!

Good guess, it reminds me of that style a lot too! It's actually from the icon pack I'm using: Polycon. There's a few others in there of the same style. I had no idea about them when I downloaded the icons, now it's easily my favourite wallpaper!
Wow! I never seen that icon pack before! Looks like a more refined version Moonshine.
That's the icon from Polycons Icon pack
I have a Nexus 5x, which was appealing to me because it comes with "stock android" - meaning no bloat apps.
I keep my installed apps to a minimum.
I use Nova Launcher, which is great for hiding stuff you don't need and arranging things in a simple, functional and aesthetically pleasing way. Like the other commenter, I really like having just a few apps on my home screen, and then having one screen of apps in the drawer.
I also use the Polycon icon pack.
To top it all off, I usually keep my phone on airplane mode and use it as little as possible. I often call and text on my computer via hangouts.google.com and project fi.
I quite like having 5 columns on the desktop and dock, with the app drawer icon in the middle.
Edit: The icons and wallpaper are from Polycon - Icon Pack (Beta). It's a beautiful and free pack, and the wallpapers are a real bonus! Only problem is there's quite a limited number of icons, so I use LollyDrop and Candy Material for the missing apps (both also free).
Edit 2: /u/___maybe___ also found the wallpaper on DeviantArt here so I'm not entirely sure who to credit. There's a couple more in the same style in Polycon, and two more different ones on that DeviantArt.
Edit 3: I contacted the DeviantArt author who confirmed it's their work. Looks the Polycon developer didn't ask permission to include it.

Someone commented with this icon pack, I fucking love it, you should try it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thearclabs.polycon
Polycon beta - IMO, the best free icon packs with material design. There's still many icons missing, but the design is great.
Phix - one of the most complete free icon themes.
Moonshine - this one seems to be quite popular here. I use Phix and Moonshine as additional sets for icons missing in Polycon.
Switch UI - material icons with unified shapes. Made by one of the best icon designers. Worth the money.

There are more pages, but they follow the same layout. Note the icon placement for easy right-hand-only use.

I wound up grabbing an icon pack that's basically the stock icons (Polycon) and had to set icons back to what they already were to get rid of the white. This is fine (though annoying), but it doesn't change the icons when used elsewhere like the Share options. I can adjust a bit in Nova settings, but the best option is a square that's a bit smaller than normal, so my icons are now inconsistent sizes. All I want is to show icons like icons.
been going for a stock pixel look
I'm running LineageOS 14.1 with Nova Launcher (prime), Polycon icon pack (one of the best icon packs imo), and a wallpaper from Nougat Wallpapers
Sure.
My statement beforehand was wrong as I didn't remember correctly when I wrote it. I'm sorry for that, I've changed them around quite a bit. Actually all of them (besides the Adobe ones) were originally from the "Polycon" android icon pack by Piksely.
Here are the edited ones as I used them:
Polycon - Nicer looking standard icons https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thearclabs.polycon&hl=en
Thanks! It's Polycon.
Thanks! It's a wallpaper called 'Sun Dance'. You can find it in the Backdrops app. Polycon for the icons
People act like its so difficult to link on mobile.

Polycon. It's probably my favorite material design icon pack right now.
The icon pack is called Polycon. Its still in beta but they already have a lot of icons!
hi all! I was never into complicated customization because it would take too much time for me. it's just something I put together quickly. I changed every icon manually on the homescreen, because I'm using Polycons for the app drawer, so it was kinda big deal for me.
icons: Flight
wallpaper: Watch Tower
music widget: one of Poweramp defaults.
clock widget: Sony stock
Wallpaper: my own photograph, here if you'd like it.
Icons: Polycon.
Calendar: Today Calendar.
Clock: Dashclock.
Launcher: Nova.
Feel obligated to mention also that it's on a 2^nd gen Moto X, so the colors look much more vivid on the AMOLED screen, and everything is a little washed out when it gets transferred to a computer. :\

I use a combination of Polycon and CandyCons. I find the themes of the two are pretty interchangeable, so if I don't like the icon of one of the packs, I can switch it to the alternative found in the other pack. I also use KLWP for an animated background, which I think looks pretty neat. I actually found the base theme on Reddit and modified it to my liking. Thanks random Redditor, wherever you are!

The animations aren't as choppy as they are in the GIF, just can't find a decent screen recorder that can record animations smoothly like that.

I'm using Polycon . From all the ones I tried I like it the most.
EDIT: Here's my home page
Welcome to Android! Here are some of the thing I would do to set up your phone:
- Settings -> Applications -> Application manager Here you can disable all the extra apps that were loaded onto your phone by your carrier. Just make sure it's an "extra" and not a core app.
- Try different launchers and icon packs. Really the possibilities are endless here. Everyone suggests Nova Launcher and I do as well. Play with grid size, icon placement, folders, gestures, etc...I would also suggest trying out icon packs to fit your style. You can find them in the play store. Right now I'm using the Polycon icon pack. Look at https://www.reddit.com/r/androidthemes/top/ for some inspiration.
- Themes - One selling point for me on this phone was the fact that I could theme the core settings. Generally you are stuck with what they give you here but thankfully Samsung allows it. I'm using the material themes.
- Wallpapers - There are some fantastic apps for automatically modifying your wallpaper. Check out Muzei and all its extensions, Tapet and Motion.
- Set up Google Now and delve into that ecosystem. Set up your home and work location, sports teams and other interests and you may be surprised at how useful it can be. You can also set up voice recognition for "Ok Google" from any homescreen to give spoken commands.
- You don't have to use the built in core apps if you don't want. There are a ton of great alternatives for messaging, calendars and browsers in the play store.
- In the display settings you can tone down the screen saturation in Screen Mode. Set it to basic for a more accurate color calibration.
Polycon! (Its awesome)

Perhaps Polycons or Silhouette?
It's a mixture of some icons but mostly Polycon
http://i.imgur.com/10LadIF.png
Many of these icons are folders, e.g. the gameboy in the middle is full of games, and in the bottom left are 8tracks, last.fm, spotify, soundcloud and mixcloud.
I've added details to the comment above since a few people asked about it.

Polycon. Probably one of my favorite material style icon packs.
And yes, the Galaxy Nexus is still alive somehow, haha! Some people on XDA already have a mostly working Marshmallow build already.
OP, install this
