There’s a quick and easy way to make your Android device feel snappier without any major tinkering or root access. By simply disabling animations on your Android device you’ll see and feel an amazing boost in performance and screen transitions that will have you wondering why no one told you about this sooner. In earlier versions of Android, this option was found under the display settings, but in Android 4.0, it has been moved into the new “Developer options.”

T-Mobile has announced the availability of a certain tasty treat for HTC Amaze 4G owners. That’s right, Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich, is now available for the HTC Amaze 4G. To check for the update, simply go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > HTC Software Updates > Check. Follow the instructions and you’ll be on your way to enjoying the latest and greatest version of Android.

Unless you have an ASUS device, you’re probably waiting to be updated to Android 4.0. While Motorola did manage to bring Ice Cream Sandwich to the XOOM, they’ve left the rest of their devices in update limbo. In an effort to calm user frustration, Motorola has updated their Ice Cream Sandwich schedule — as if that helps. It appears the RAZR brand will see Android 4.0 sometime in Q2, while the DROID 4 won’t be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich until Q3.

Last month, Samsung added a new FAQ section to outline which devices would be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich, and while all the major carriers were listed, T-Mobile was the only one lacking any information. That section has finally been updated and we now have an idea of which T-Mobile Samsung devices will be getting the Android 4.0 update.

Back in March, T-Mobile announced Ice Cream Sandwich would be coming to the HTC Sensation 4G and Amaze 4G, unfortunately they gave no specific dates for the updates. Well, that documentation has been updated and we now know that the Sensation 4G will be getting Android 4.0 this Wednesday, with the Amaze 4G coming in the next weeks.
