The guys over at Android Police have confirmed that Motorola’s recent “project” for the Motorola XOOM is, in fact, Ice Cream Sandwich. It seems one of the lucky testers didn’t understand the word “confidential” and spilled the beans on the project.
Early (early early) this morning, Steve Kondick (Cyanogen) announced that the immensely popular CyanogenMod had reached 1 million unique downloads! CyanogenMod is just one of many custom firmwares based on the open-source Android operating system. The CyanogenMod Team consists of numerous devout developers and members who work hard to bring support and features to as many devices as humanly possible. They have extended the life of devices well beyond the realm of official support and have freed us from the chains of carrier induced crap. Custom Android firmware and the ability to have it, is just one of the many advantages of an open-source project such as Android.
Google’s goal with Ice Cream Sandwich is to present a more unified and distinguishable platform UI from here on out. They’ve been hard at work trying to figure out ways to maintain their “open” approach, while also maintaining some sort of consistency. They want developers to know that they have worked hard on creating Ice Cream Sandwich UI with “the users’ best interests in mind,” and encourage them to apply and adapt these methods when developing for Android. To help guide developers on how to create a complimenting application for Android, they have opened up a new site called “Android Design.”
