The Droid Incredible seems to be getting some developer love lately. Some time ago, we had posted an article about a new Ice Cream Sandwich themed ROM for the Droid Incredible. XDA member Div033 has created a brand new custom ROM based on 00McD00’s Ice Cream Sense ROM, and stripped the Sense UI from it, giving it a clean AOSP look.
Continuing the ICS fever, this ROM also actually runs Gingerbread under the hood, but has been cleverly, but deeply themed to give it an Ice Cream Sandwich look and feel, that is so in vogue these days. 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, ICS ported keyboard, Galaxy Nexus boot animation, ICS themed dialer and a lot more. If you prefer to have Sense on your phone, you can install the Sense-d version of this ROM from the link above.
