but for Android I'm one of those people who don't like to root or jailbreak or hacker do anything with the phones I just like things native like things vanilla Plain Jane and some sort of ice cream flavor that that is sort of like vanilla but not not vanilla because I just mentioned vanilla so like an off-brand cheap vanilla it's actually quite delicious I think thankfully there's enough in the stock android marketplace to give you a visual feel of android 4.1 your phone first you'll need go launcherex a top-rated and extremely popular launcher alternative this will be the backbone of our ice cream sandwich project codenamed i want ice cream sandwich to the today junior now head back to the marketplace and pick up ice cream sandwich theme by cob dev this is a magic right here this is the super stuffs after downloading head to go launcher theme settings and select Ice Cream Sandwich and boom happen times but that's kid stuff we want to go a little bit more hardcore like this walnut right here go back to the marketplace and pick up ice cream sandwich keyboard by binary there are several ICS keyboards out there but I stuck with this one because it's it's totally free and it works really well much better than the stock keyboard that came with this rather laggy LG revolution right here not only does it look fantastic but it's got some settings that will help enhance your typing experience and typing efficiency keyboards like the one I got back there are cool but what about lock screens download widget launcher activated boom ICS lock screen if you want to make it look legit you'll have to shrink the clock a little bit and shift it slightly to the right happy times fan of widgets how about ice cream sandwich themed with jets thanks to how crazily customizable go launcher is you'll be able to theme GO launcher created widgets go ahead and pick up whatever widgets you want from go launcher such as a calendar contacts messages and so on and pick up something called ICS

others anyways pick up bunt by cube ahead and open up preferences and go launcher tap on visual settings font and scan font this will take a little bit but after it's done tap on select font and scroll down until you see Roboto Android 4.2 can pick whatever you want to of course but for the sake of ICS let's go with robot oh and happy happy times and speaking of happy times I'm gonna take
