Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Tips
Full Galaxy Nexus Review is up! bit.ly Here are some tips to make Android Ice Cream Sandwich feel as fast as possible: 1. Use a third party launcher that allows you to have more icons on the screen at once and avoid the screen animations in the app drawer 2. Turn off screen animations through the Developer Options Settings 3. Swipe off unused tabs in the browser 4. Swipe off programs from the app switcher interface 5.

@sutol226 me too my friend!
i love my nexus S with ICS 4.0.3
I love my galaxy nexus
Firstly, I like the ICS launcher. I’m not ruining the feel of the phone.
Secondly, Taking away the screen animations makes it look like it just jumped frames, like it’s lagging or something. It looks a bit odd. Even having them at 0.5x would be better.
Thirdly, without the lockscreen, there’s no security. Also, it looks odd. The point of a lockscreen isn’t just to lock, it’s to show notifications.
Fourthly, multitasking is the first thing you learn for ICS.
Fifth, hey, a good point. Thanks.
Dear Santa…..
settings are in the top of the notification bar

How do I do this browser tab management pls?
@aandrewranger Your daddy must be proud…
I can see why not being able to have more homescreens would be a big deal. But if you only wanted one or two homescreens, why not just use one or two out of the five homescreens?
your voice is higher than mine… I’m 13…
This makes me hungry!
@alanleongjl It’s not as complicated as it seems. If you take your time and play with it, you’ll get it in no time, it’s like anything new you try.
@alanleongjl You can still use your iPhone as an iPod Touch and save money to get the Nexus
@TheJasperkitty
U Mad Bro?
Cool! Which iPhone is that?
check out my channel, my latest video, if u get this phone, ill buy ur old one
yea those college students will steal ANYTHING!
@8rocky88 Exactly youre one of many that think a screen full of bs icons that arent dynamic is appealing. You have your opinion just like i do. sliding screens and 10 ways to get to the same Widget, app or feature is old and ugly and time consuming for nothing. My opinion and Windows Phone 7 has many options of natural connectivity to (the Cloud) than android or iphone. Office, Office355, Sharepoint, Xbox, Skydrive, Windows Live, Zune(awesome) Integrated. I use them all. WP7
You talk about more icons but doesn’t that suck up more battery?
@ankhcreations Win 7 OS sucks,It looks so boring,If it was so great why dont all the people buy win 7 phones instead,Nokia thinks they will get a bost with win 7 I doubt that Cause whateva nokia makes according to me a,Is an ancient nokia crap
@ankhcreations
Funny, since Android was created before iOS….
And Windows is a bunch of words in order, thats not innovative…
When you turn animations off you get an unpleasant fucksicle
Until this point, I still can’t let go my iPhone with iOS 5 for an Android Ice-cream Sandwich. I wouldn’t say I’m a hardcore fanboy of Apple but Android user interface just sucks. It’s too complicated to use and its interface is not unified. Very non-intuitive. Gosh!
Android is a cheap iPhone imitation and a cluttered mess.. I hate that shit. Screen full of icons.. Wtf. Window phone 7 has a way better user experience.. and its innovative not an iPhone copy reject..
