NIteUI: Pimp Out Your Android Phone – 4.0 Style

The new android market split us android owners into two camps, those who love it and those who hate it. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the middle. Me? I love it. I think it looks cool, looks up to date and you gotta love swiping to navigate right? The darker colours also appeal to my emo side.

What you see above is a very funky and cool android homescreen design by @androidatnight. It’s very much based on the new android market, and perhaps gives us an insight into what android might look like when we finally see the next version Ice Cream sandwich.

What else is so cool about the design, and what really does show the true power of the android platform is the fact that anyone and everyone can do this. You don’t need root, you don’t need a comp sci degree. Anyone with an android phone can completely customise their device beyond recognition.

If you fancy pimping out your phone like this, then just follow the instructions below:
