Leave it to the creative cooks working in the kitchen at XDA Developers’ forums to come up with a way to serve Android 4.0 ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ (ICS) on Barnes & Noble’s Nook Tablet device. A locked bootloader made things more challenging than they had to be, but as with similar recipes, installing ICS on [...]
Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) is a big step for the platform, and Google is clearly interested in maintaining some level of uniformity across the ICS-based products created by developers. In a blog post, the Android User Experience Team announced a new site called Android Design, which is chock full of practical advice and guides [...]
