I vaguely remember Google having a way with hiding some little oddity in ever build of Android. They were never anything major of course, just more about a hidden image of some kind that could could be activated or located in various manners. This one was located on an international version of the Galaxy Nexus and shows off the cool looking 8bit Andy with an Ice Cream Sandwich. Hold the picture and he gets larger and then an onslaught of them start flying across your screen. It’s neat. It looks like it can be located under ‘About Phone’ and then tapping on a certain bit of info. I can’t really tell since it is a bit blurry at first and in another language. Check out the video below to see it in action and a few screens of the device in action as well.
Update – Thanks to a tipster on our twitter, we were made aware that tapping on the Android Version is what pulls this little guy up.
Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.
[...] Another Easter Egg has been found deep within the murky depths of Ice Cream Sandwich, but this hidden treasure packs an interesting feature we’ve yet to see hidden in an Android Easter Egg to date. Say hello to Rocket Launcher — a 3D wallpaper-like launcher that looks cool, if nothing else. Apparently, this and Nyan Droid are both part of a new screensaver feature Google called “Android Dreams” that was disabled by them before Ice Cream Sandwich was released (presumably because it wasn’t ready for prime time yet). Here is a picture of the re-enabled feature in CM9, courtesy of Steve Kondik (aka Cyanogen). [...]
I like it! We can call it Nyandroid!
