Android blogosphere is buzzing with Android 4.0 ROMS, whether these actual v4.0.1 AOSP port of Ice Cream Sandwich, or a theme based of it. Users are liking it either way. And continuing with the ICS fever, Droid Incredible has become the latest phone to get ICS based ROM — it’s not an actual AOSP ported custom ROM — which gets you theming of the Google’s latest and greatest OS, while running Gingerbread under the hood.

Not only the ICS theming, it also gets you several other useful tweaks like, taking screenshots by holding power and menu keys together for 3 seconds, quick settings in notification bar, boot animation of world’s first — and only, right now — Android 4.0 phone, Galaxy Nexus, cool ICS ported keyboard, etc.
