what does ics do that you LIKE more than gb?

[mapd00d]

-ability to 'disable' most system apps, and 'uninstall' bloatware such as Kindle, Blockbuster, Let's Golf! etc. (WITHOUT ROOT)
-screenshot function built-in (although i already paid for an app, this is still pretty cool)
-widget previews before you add.


i think the cons still outweigh the pros. but if you've got more pros, throw them here, because for the most part, we're stuck with ics, so lets make the best of it.

Was thinking of up grading to ICS but not sure,just got the phone so the GB is new to me.. i dont even know how to add ICS..lol any help plz??

whats the con's of doing this? and can you go back to GB if you dont like ICS?

thanks,shawn..

assuming you have razr i would be surprised if you are not on ICS . go to settings-about phone - and see what it says android version is should be 4.0.X ( i dont know last number guessing a 4 but don't know) if not than hit the system update button it will see update available and install it. as of right now no way back to GB

it says 2.3.6 android version.so i clicked sys. update... will let you know if it worked..

it should have said system update avail and you would have to confirm the download

Yup,its done... didn't mess much with it yet but does look really cool..anything that stands out with ICS right off the bat? i just got the phone less than aweek so the GB i though was cool BUT seems like everyone likes ICS..eitherway i guess i'll have alot of reading on here to catch up,i'm new here as well...dancedroid

Im with you on the pros... not on the cons though.. what problems are you having? and have you installed .215 yet?

i used launcherpro, and although its a developer issue, i dislike the incompatibility with ics.
i wish ics supported changing the number of rows/columns. or changing dock icons, gestures on dock icons.

i was rooted on gb. removed root, and then tried to sideload ics, and bricked phone. i am still stock on my replacement with ics. so a lot of the new "pros" with ics were things i already had with rooted gb.
i haven't updated to .215 yet, still on .211

Go launcher has all those features... thats what I use... best IMO

I used go and liked it, but now I use Nova and it also has all of those options as well. Both are great launchers!

Screenshot! I wanted this feature the most.
Swipe to clear notifications
Disabling bloatware
Creating folders to better organize apps I used more frequently
