[Mod] Not a fan of circles? Turn those folders to squares on ICS

The wonderful world of Android that we all live in gives us a lot of flexibility. From custom ROMs, themes, tweaks and hacks. There almost isn’t anything that we can achieve on our devices. With more and more Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs being built and tested, someone was bound to change things up a bit. That is exactly what Evostance from XDA has done. He wasn’t a fan of the circle that was created for folders on ICS. He wanted to bring back a more square look.

He has only tested it on his device running ARHD 1.3.0 and comments on where else they might work would be greatly beneficial.

Instructions are fairly simple, but do require the use of ADB. So if that isn’t your thing then you should either take some time to learn it, or wait for another dev to make a different install method.

If you are all set to take on the minor challenge and give your folders back their squareness, head over to Evostnace’s XDA thread for files and instructions.
