Google should make its new Android OS flavor official in a matter of days, yet those who can not wait to learn more on it at that time are already able to experience the Ice Cream Sandwich feel on their handsets courtesy of a new theme available for them.

The Ice Cream Sandwich theme application is available for download from the Android Apps Labs in various flavors, depending the handset in your hand.

Through the new theme, users will be able to enjoy the Ice Cream Sandwich launcher and icons on their devices, although the other features of the platform will not be available for them.

Even so, having the looks of the upcoming Android 4.0 OS flavor on the palm of your hand can indeed sound like a great thing for many users.

The new mobile application will also come along with a themed widget search provided by ADW, as well as with a series of wallpapers for increased customization options (users will enjoy a number of around 20 wallpapers).

Moreover, users who will download and install the new application will enjoy on their devices new graphics for the dock bar, along with support for Desktop Visualizer and for Folder Organizer.

The main features of the new theme application would include: - New graphics for dock bar (ADW & Go)! - Themed search widget (ADW only)! - Honeycomb system icons! (placeholder) - Wallpaper pack included - ADW Theme support - Launcher Pro theme support (limited to icons) - Go Launcher EX theme support - Support for Desktop Visualizer - Support for Folder Organizer

As stated above, this might not be the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS flavor, but it certainly brings older Android handsets pretty close to the looks of that platform release.

When made available, the next Android release will offer some other enhancements as well, including new features and improvements, which will not arrive on devices via the Ice Cream Sandwich Theme for Android.
