Ice Cream Sandwhich is a Windows 8 Metro UI clone!!!

It takes years and years to sell a phone. Years............and years. I compare it to raising a child. If you don't have the time and dedication to do it right, then you're simply stuck in the eternal loop of misery and sorrow each time you must unlock your phone and suffer through the miserable, pathetic UI.

Such difficult lives we lead....Imagine......suffering through a UI that has some icons that we don't lust after. People in the earlier days had it so easy. Jumping on their horse and riding for a few short weeks to get anywhere, and never having to suffer through the trials and tribulations of the ICS UI.

Horses smell funny and I don't like their color. Or shape. They are too horse shaped. Ew.

Same here. Well, maybe not Linux. I've been wanting a Macbook. Unless 8 has a way to go back to the 7 desktop. I don't think there is any real technological improvement in 8 which would be a compelling reason to use it otherwise.

Isn't that pretty? That is an HD Widgets weather and clock glass gems widget.

While we're on the topic, are you using a launcher? I noticed you have rows of 5, but you also have the stock ICS style folders. What launcher/what theme gives you those folders?

The only two things I've found that I love about the ICS UI that I haven't been able to replicate in Go Launcher are the folders and the page indicator. Trying so hard to find those things haha

I am using Nova launcher. The folders are nearly or identical to ICS. For all I know they are ICS folders. They are so much better looking than GB folders.

I can't really help you. All I can do is disagree. With ICS and Nova Launcher installed along with Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets, I think my Razr home screen is far and away the most attractive home screen of any phone I've ever seen - far better than stock Gingerbread, and miles better than iPhone4. In ICS they made changes that improve just about everything and which make just looking at the phone a pleasure, not to mention using it.

I suggest if you don't like your phone, change it. That's what Android is all about. Launchers are either free or cheap. Go Launcher is free and has a zillion free themes, Nova is small and fast and looks good. Widgets are anything from free to a couple of bucks. I gladly paid for the packs I have on my phone.

I'm not sure if this is a troll or a genuine question cast in a dramatic way, but in either case there is no reason to have a phone screen you aren't happy with when you have Android. This thread could be repurposed for ways to dress up your screen.

And Metro? Really? Have you even looked at Metro? There is zero similarity.

How did you get the 5x5 screen setup? Is that Nova Launcher?

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see the question/answer above.

I jump around between HD Widgets and one more clock. Usually once a week I get bored and change up the look.
