Android Ice Cream Sandwich On Samsung Galaxy S2

The old user interface we’ve known from the past has gone; with Ice Cream Sandwich comes a new UI that’s an evolution of the black and green/neon themes of Gingerbread and Honeycomb along with refreshed browser, Gmail and Google Calendar apps.

Ice Cream Sandwich represents a “unified user experience for phones, tablets, and more” and is due to be rolled out to existing Android smartphones at some point too. There’s no timetable for rollouts to devices just yet but you can be sure we’re keeping an eye out for those.

There’s many reasons to be excited about Ice Cream Sandwich; here’s the ten things that we’re most excited about right now, why they’re important and why you should care.

Ice Cream Sandwich on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has given us the greatest idea of the shape of Android to come, on phones at least.

But what are things going to look like when companies like HTC and Samsung add custom UI like Sense and TouchWiz on top?

Well according to a post on SamMobile, we might just have ourselves the first indication of how things on the latter might shape up.

A four minute video shows off a very early build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy S2 and so far we’re not seeing any huge differences in the UI to how things are on the Gingerbread-running Galaxy S2.

Features like FaceUnlock are there as it the ability to call up a list of recent tasks. But the custom UI is more or less the same.

Again, this is an early version of a custom Samsung build that SamMobile has obtained. So along with ironing out a few problems with apps force closing, the final version might have a radically redrawn UI, something more along the lines of how TouchWiz looks on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 perhaps?
