A year ago, TechCredo published a tutorial on how to set the “Me” picture on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Without a proper Me picture, Android’s native Messaging app will just display an empty grey box next to your messages. The process for setting the Me picture is fortunately a lot less complicated on Android 4.0 Ice [...]

Many people, particularly Android purists, of course, frown upon custom Android user-interfaces. They want the vanilla Android experience – Android the way Google made it, and usually think custom UIs look bad, are bloated, poorly made, and slow down the OS update process.
