So I've had ICS for a couple days now. Overall, it's ok. It's not the all-singing, all-dancing update I expected, but it's basically adequate. There are a few problems I've encountered with ICS, though.
1. Camera. There is no easy way to delete the most recently-taken picture. You've gotta go into the gallery and hit a few menu options to get to the delete function.
The fix? ICS Camera+ app. It adds a one-touch delete option on the review screen. And also gives an option to silence the shutter.
2. Status bar. The left side notifications are too small and too dark gray. They lack contrast with the black background. Did I mention that they're too small? They have gotten significantly smaller from Gingerbread, and they're now monochrome. They're so small as to be worthless.
The fix? Dunno. I wish I could figure out a way to change the color and size of the notifications on the left side of the status bar. This is my biggest problem with ICS.
3. Lock screen. There used to be a slider on the lock screen that would put the phone in silent mode if you swiped right-to-left. That's gone, replaced with a slider to go directly to the camera.
The fix? Dunno how to implement it, but I'd like an option to silence the phone from the lock screen simply by swiping up.
Does anyone know how to modify the status bar (no root) to permit larger and different colored fonts?
Thanks!
