Owners of the original Motorola DROID can exhale a collective sigh of relief, now that an Ice Cream Sandwich project is underway for their phone.

As we constantly post about the yummy Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs being ported to high-end devices, we tend to forget about the “not-so” high-end devices. The Samsung Galaxy Mini is getting some nice ICS love, by getting a CM9-ICS based ROM with everything working except the Live Wallpaper. There are some glitches happening with the camera, [...]

Our good friends from TeamCarbon have released a new batch of themes for ADWLauncher EX. While there are many nice color sets to choose from, there’s one in particular that really stands out, so I thought it’d be nice to share it with our readers.
