Ice Cream Sandwich is the flavor of the season, be it custom ICS ROMs, or themes that give you a flavor of ICS on your device. In the land of themed custom ROMs, MIUI ranks high up there with its elegant and classy interface, and the level of detail that exists in its themes.
MIUI v4 is the latest iteration of MIUI, and is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS as it’s lovingly called. XDA member jasonevil has just released a brand new theme based on the MIUI v4. The theme can be used by anyone who is running a custom ROM which supports T-Mobile’s theme chooser feature.
As you can see in the screenshots above, it really is a looker, and those who would rather continue with Gingerbread for now, till fully functional ICS builds are out, can use this ( provided your ROM supports T-mobile Theme Chooser), can go ahead and install this beauty.
Compatibility: This theme is only compatible with devices running ROMs which includes the T-Mobile Theme Chooser feature. It will not work with ROMs which do not include that feature. So flash at your own risk. You have been forewarned!!
