Want to share some things about ICS that I discovered after using it for 2-3 days:
1. google freaking changed the theme to blue from green in GB, I think they need to make up their mind about which color is best!
2. Now the wifi icon at the top right actually shows when there are network activities, cool!
3. google search bar is permanent on top on the default launcher and yet they still make enough space for a 4x4 widget, even though the bottom of the launcher seems bigger than in GB! Maybe because of #4
4. the new font needs a bit getting used to, it seems "shorter".
5. now the launcher are much more useful, there are 5 shortcuts and each of them can be replaced! Yay!
6. lock screen is changed from being able to unlock/silent to unlock/launch camera, I want my silent quick key back!
7. default launcher->apps is now horizontal scrolling instead of vertical, nice.
8. Data Usage! Gone with 3g watch dog, this data usage monitor even shows how many bytes each application use.
9. Browser seems a lot smoother on zoom, but I experienced quite a lot of slowness, when I zoom in, the text are blur, takes 2-3 seconds before it become clear, seems like they give a preview of the page first, then load it, just like loading images.
10. Browser is able to set inverted colors! hooray for those with amoled screens.
11. There's a g+ widget that is like the FB one where we can see the statuses of our friends.
12. Panaroma mode in camera!
13. the new keyboard seems shorter also probably because of #4, and the default recommended word is now in the middle instead of in the left most, following swiftkey.
That's all for now, will add more when I discover more.
