there's another power widget you can download from the market whose colour you can modify yourself. i have it on my sensation and it's electric blue like the theme of the pictures above.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tjtj4444:
Sure this could be the real icecreeam, but it is likely that icons and colors are not final in that case. The competition is very hard so I would expect google to have a mock-up theming on the releases sent outside of Google until a very late stage.

And regarding Linux 3.0, why would they bother with this? What would the benefits be?

Android have several additions to the 2.6 kernel, I believe it is regarding power states etc, so it is alot of work for google to adapt Linux 3.0, and it would make it more difficult for the phone manufacturers to support icecream on existing phones since the must make sure all drivers etc work on a new kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lchupacabras:
Meh. I really like the green that comes along w/ Android so I'll be very disappointed with some crazy cyan. Then again, I could live with it ;) Having said all that, I hope, for Google's sakes, that this is a very very early build. It looks too unpolished at the moment; Google already shot themselves in the foot when they originally released Android OS to the unsuspecting public with a ****-ton of inconsistencies in the UI. I was one of the people who originally shied away from AOS when it came out because of how unpolished it looked and I doubt Google would make the same mistake twice.

I hope it's a fake look pretty disapointing! :)

Yes, not really the same thing, but if the base experience is already good, many users won't take the risk switching to CM.

Yes it's official 4.0 and the name IceCreamSandwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

I wouldn't care if it looked like MS-DOS, as long as I can change it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ronniecross:
I just can't see google releasing a complete redesign of the google search bar, only to scrap it when they unite all hardware with one OS. Considering Google accidently leaked their new google search bar a day or 2 ago, and it looks totally different to the search bar seen here, I'm gonna call fake.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaXmax:
+1 its fake...

Edit: Leaked is over... Google! Give the new google search app...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trestevenson:
I'm also inclined to think these photos may be faked, but of course that's just speculation. If it does turn out to be a genuine leak of an extremely early build of the OS, that'd be cool too. If that's the case, it needs to be significantly refined before release though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FloatingFatMan:
It's so fake that it makes Cher's tits look natural!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] user7743:
+1 for fake
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majorpay:
Yeah, it's a fake, but all the people that are concerned over the look, and say they would leave Android because of what it looks like are being complete twits. One of the main points of Android is the ability to customize to your liking. I don't care for stock anything on a phone, and I'm doubtful that will change with Honeycomb.

Also, Google isn't about the whiz-bang factor of flopping their glitter encrusted nuts all over the screen so you can "ooh" and "ah." If you want to be tea bagged by something whose whole focus is glitter, buy an iPhone.

It's the functionality and customization that has kept Google users intrigued since its first inception.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drzfr3shboialex:
True but I hope it looks more like honeycomb, with a holographic ui,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jvf.registros:
I wish a new-new market, the newest is SO slow
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DeadSOL:
I, for one, think that these pictures are real BUT this is a really early version of Ice-Cream Sandwich.

I also now think Google should call it Android 2.4 instead of 4.0 since CrapPhone are now moving on to iOS 5 and Android 4.0 just... doesn't seem to catch up. 2.4 makes a bigger statement; 'We made it higher than CrApple with seemingly fewer builds!'.

Also, I can't wait for Ice-Cream Sandwich. Google should make us all proud to own an Android phone!

'nuff said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sarg92:
Maybe the apparent multitasking icon is actually just a folder icon that contains some apps. Why would a multitasking icon only be available on a homescreen because it wouldn't be possible to have it actually within an app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arthurbrownleeiv:
Kernel really isn't that different, it isn't like a totally new platform going to 3.0, as Linus himself wanted to push it over to 3.0 marking the anniversary of the original Linux kernel. The changes for the most part, are very small.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] redbullcat:
But it's being released for tablets too - it wouldn't make sense. 3.0 >> 3.1 >> 3.2 >> 2.4

Personally I think it should be 3.5.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jjsoviet:
We must remember that Google is an engineering-driven company, not a design-focused one like Apple. So what if stock looks unrefined? Android is more about functionality and customizability; people can create beautiful setups thanks to the flexibility of the platform.

And really, we cannot be so sure if this leak is fake or not. We'll just see what Google and other trusted sources will say about the shots.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drzfr3shboialex:
The guy said its a really build with a lot of bugs so take this lightly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TDavis45:
Hope this makes it to the fascinate!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drukqsMORA:
Someone.. please? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fridgid:
looks great
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kenorn:
Agree but......

While I completely agree with you mostly....stock NEEDS to look polished, clean, smooth, fast, sparkly, magical whether it be Touchwiz, Sense, Stock Android etc.

Why you ask? Cuz grandma does not know they can change the look. Uneducated hippy iSheep (yes, not all are uneducated) will continue to say Android looks like poop. The average consumer does not know they can change the look...and some couldn't be bothered with configuring the hell out of it. All of this affects the initial impressions of people in the market for a new phone in a world largely dominated by "Only on the iPhone" drivel that everyone sees on TV...and therefore affects the further success of Android.

We power users are fully aware of what we can and cannot do to our phones. Others, not so much.

Google needs to dress Android up in nice shiny shoes, suit and tie. Consumers will notice. Power users know they can slap on a nice comfy pair of sandals, jeans and tshirt if they wanted.

:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kanttii:
At this state it looks too messed up, and the statusbar pulldown looks like one of the CM7 HC themes.. if ICS is going to be a COMPLETE UI overhaul the changes should include much more!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mingolianbeef:
This looks like a themed CyanogenMod, i cud probably build this :-/ !!!! AND WHY SO MUCH DARN BLACK LOL!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vibrantliker:
doesn't Honeycomb come before this?

Going to be another sweet dessert! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
While looking at these photos I could not help but being a little skeptical of Ice cream Sandwich (ICS) leaked photos. Now I could go on and say well here, here and here looks like it's photoshopped, but I will not do that. What I will do is blatantly point out of well done photos of faked Nexus Prime, and how this looks more of a amateur theme for Cyanogenmod 7 than it does concept work done by Google. Expecting Google as they are, I would assume that they would not use the same icons/widgets from previous builds of Android which has not been done since 1.x versions. I would also like to point out that the Nexus Prime is expected in October. This is two months from now and for as long as we've heard ICS was in the works I would like to think Google would be further along in the development process. So I can't help but feeling a little skeptical of these photos, but if I'm wrong then hey, but I think myself and many others hope this is not where ICS is heading.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrworldwide092:
i think the pics fake
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jags_the1:
Don't tell me google is still gonna make it look that ugly.

Dont know how long will they keep making it look like what current Vanilla android looks like, for ppl who cant mod.. It looks like its 1990s device.. So out of colors and charm. No wonder ppl are still crazy about iPhone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tommy_23:
i think that too...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] redbullcat:
Honeycomb was a tablet only release. Ice Cream Sandwich takes Gingerbread, makes it look awesome like Honeycomb, then puts it on a phone, adds new features, and we *hopefully* get our minds blown by how utterly awesome it is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FloatingFatMan:
ICS is for phones AND tablets.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rapaholic999:
To think of how drastically they improved the Honeycomb interface from Froyo or gingerbread!! HOneycomb with its holographic UI made the Industry drool !! It made the IPAD operating system look like a KID !!! The Honeycomb UI was very must Polished in respect to looks !! They completely revamped the entire operating system!! Even the lockscreen the CLOCK , the Fonts used were amazing in every aspect !! The Customization screen, the transition effects all had a futuristic look !! So thinking of all that customization google did to Honeycomb i think this is a complete fake !! El Goog wont make ICS look like a product of the 90s . They will certainly RIP off and give a lot of detail to ICS !!!

Look at the above shots and you will understand what i am trying to say!!! :D

Just my two cents :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drzfr3shboialex:
True google needs to improve on

This, its beautiful but there is always room for improvement it needs to look like this but more modified in a good way also with a lot its features like theme engine, etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anthonok:
I REALLY figure this to be fake. I expect to basically see a slim down honeycomb for phones, not a crappy theme like this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RileyGrant:
Good luck with that. Youll basically see an upgraded gingerbread with some implementations from honeycomb such as this holographic ui (and you CAN see that is is present already in the app drawer), the app "fragments" much like HC and probably universal hardware acceleration.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Man_u:
Look at the kernel version

If Ice Cream is the future development of Android, which must be either Tablet or phone should not she have a more evolved than the kernel is 3.2 and Xoom who owns the .36 ?

Sorry for my bad english

Regardez la version du kernel

Si Ice Cream est la future évolution d'Android ,qui doit être aussi bien pour tablette ou pour télephone ne devrait-elle pas avoir un kernel plus évolué que la Xoom qui est 3.2 et qui possede le .36
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iPwn_:
I just want hardware acceleration. And a more unified UI. Nothing more.

And that's all it will take for Android to appeal to the masses of common people.

First of all...smoothness out of the box. No one want sot buy a phone and then root and and then flash a ROM to finally make it usable.

And secondly...the unified UI. In WP7 and iOS, everythign seems like it's on the same "core". (Same UI in every app, same colors,m same everything everywhere..)

With Android....it's sometimes a total mess. One app will be green with a button grid. The next app will be blue with a menu on the top, the next app will be gray and will have an icon grid, etc.

Android is such a powerful platform...if only the UI wasn't so inferior.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vetvito:
Are you serious? Sales speak volumes, especially in the smartphone world.

Unified apps is lame as hell. I hated all my apps looked the exact same, just slightly different colors.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jjsoviet:
Agree. I'd like more variety and individuality in apps, just let Google make the Android UI more consistently-designed across the board.

You guys can't seriously believe that that thing would actually be the final product? No way google would be so foolish to do something like this....They're competing with Mango & IOS 5 directly, a slip like this would damage them deeply....ICS will feature aspects from HC and will unite Tabs+Phones, no way it would look like this. Those icons could just be made in Photoshop or gimp, and the blue icons too can be replicated. If this is from Google, this must be a early early early test and a super alpha release...
